Good we got the 32 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: paperwork out of the way. Let's move on. Um, we're 33 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: not gonna talk about the giants this week because I 34 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 1: know what upsets Tony and I don't want to upset 35 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: Tony because he's the guy that controls the buttons. And um, 36 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: if you hear silence, that means Tony turned off my microphone. 37 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: So we're just because it's gonna be absolutely see. I 38 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: knew he was gonna do that, folks. Um, you know Tony, 39 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: I do have a question for you, though, I just 40 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: want to get this out of the way early. Come 41 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: on with it, Okay, who are the Giants playing tomorrow Cleveland, Cleveland, 42 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: and they're owing four? Both of them are four. So 43 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: someone is going to come out victorious, right, Somebody's gotta win. Yes, 44 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: So if the Giants lose tomorrow, you're owing five zero 45 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: zero tie, that would be the ultimate well, that would 46 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: be It would be like a snooze fest. So like 47 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: if you if you haven't, if you have insomnia, tomorrow 48 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: is probably the day to watch a football game. Right now. 49 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: If the Giants lose and they go oh and five, 50 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: do they have any chance of No way, they have 51 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: no chance of going is over. They might as well 52 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: start booking their family vacations because they're going fishing. Right 53 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: So then does the n Y and New York Giants 54 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: stand for next year? Yes? Okay, so that's what's gonna happen. 55 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: So I just I just don't want to get that 56 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: out of I wanted to get the pain out of 57 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: the way with let's talk about cars now. Okay, Okay, 58 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: now we're gonna talk about cars. Um, it doesn't get 59 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: much better when you start talking about cars. I was 60 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: actually thinking during during today's open that if Marty and 61 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: Doc had used platonium from today, they probably couldn't have 62 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: made back to the future because the car probably wouldn't 63 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,839 Speaker 1: have worked because everything has just made worse today. There's 64 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: just no quality control anywhere. And I think about that 65 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: a lot, because quality control when you're dealing with an 66 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: automobile is just so critical. You know, years ago we 67 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: used to think that and and you know, it kind 68 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: of makes sense. Do you ever wonder why replacement parts 69 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: don't last as long as the original parts? Look at 70 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: the original brakes on your car. You know you typically 71 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: get on a car today, I don't know, pick a number, 72 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: what do you get? You get sixty seventy thousand miles 73 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: out of a set of brakes maybe, And you'll go 74 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: out and you'll buy original equipment breaks from that vehicle 75 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: manufacturer and you get thirty thirty five thousand miles and 76 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: the calipers are good and now nothing's frozen and everything's 77 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: done right. Why is that? Is it? Because do we 78 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: have the ability to engineer at her quality into the 79 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: parts today at different levels? I think yes. I think 80 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: the answer is yes. Had a No six Toyota camera 81 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: this week at the shop on hybrid hybrid, a No 82 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: six camera hybrid that had a opt to use the 83 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: customers description. It had a whoop whoop sound in it. 84 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: You drive down the road and you hear as you're 85 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: driving down the road above thirty miles an hour, and 86 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: it would kind of settle out. It got to a 87 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: point where, you know, it just above thirty it just 88 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: stayed at one consistent sound, one consistent speed. It wasn't 89 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: entire related. It wasn't a wheel bearing, you know, it 90 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: just it was just there. There was some noise in 91 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: the final drive. I listened to the final drive with 92 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: its death scope up in the air, and there was 93 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: some noise out of the bearings. Not similar to the 94 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: noise I was hearing, but it was there. There was 95 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: also a noise in the right side passenger passenger right 96 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: side obviously passengers right side center support axle bearing and 97 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: they make noise to and this was a click, but 98 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 1: again not that who It didn't do that. It didn't 99 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: have that replication there. Why is this a big deal? 100 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: Because here's an O six or O seven camera hybrid 101 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: whichever it was, that had a hundred and ninety five 102 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: thousand miles on it. And the customer looked me straight 103 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: in the face and she said, I've never had a 104 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: problem with the car. This is the first time the 105 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 1: car has ever done anything that's failed. And I said, 106 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: you know, you stop to think about it, like, wow, 107 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: all right, how did it get to that point? And 108 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: the fact is a lot of the hybrids, from a 109 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: lot of the manufacturers, Toyotas at the top of the 110 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: class on this. I give them credit for this is 111 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: they are clearly making a great product. And I shouldn't 112 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: say making I should stop saying that they're making cars. 113 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: They're engineering cars. They've engineered that hybrid like a lot 114 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: of the other hybrids to go that kind of mileage, 115 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: unfortunately for her. From my diagnosis and from what I'm 116 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: hearing and listening to this car, I believe the motor generator, 117 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: which is part of the part of the transmission assembly 118 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: on a hybrid, I believe the motor generator is supported 119 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: by a bearing on each end. Basically, I believe the 120 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: armature bearing support bearing is starting to go south and 121 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: that's the noise she's hearing because of the way that 122 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: it reacts and doesn't change with with shift point and 123 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: so forth. And it made me stop to think about 124 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: engineering and how much goes into the cars and how 125 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: well they can make something go that much farther if 126 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: they want to. So. A post the other day from 127 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: someone complaining about drive axles on a particular car, and 128 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: they were complaining about the fact that the axles only 129 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: failed after thirty thousand miles, and I read the post 130 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: with great interest. I thought it was I thought it 131 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: was a little shortsighted on their part, but I decided 132 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: to take a look at it and follow through. Someone 133 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,799 Speaker 1: pointed it out to me, and part of the process, 134 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: or part of the problem with this particular car was, 135 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: from what I read later on, the person didn't realize 136 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: that what they were ranting about was an axle that 137 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: was installed four years ago, thirty thousand miles ago. A 138 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: lot of things go wrong, or a lot of things 139 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: can happen, a lot of environment can occur to a 140 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: car in thirty thousand miles in four years. But it 141 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: wasn't an original equipment axle for that particular vehicle. It 142 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: was something after market. Was it a cheaper part, undoubtedly, 143 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: and maybe maybe the vehicle owner chose that the original 144 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: owner of that vehicle. But this person wanted to go 145 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: on ranting and raving about you know, what a poor 146 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: job the repair shop must have done installing that axle 147 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: when the truth really came down to that, the repair 148 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: shop and all likelihood was just following what the customer 149 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: had requested. I need to save some money, Let's use 150 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: the cheaper grade of axle. And you always have to 151 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: look at that, and you always have to stop and 152 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: consider that, where are the parts coming from, how long 153 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: will they reasonably last? What can you expect to get 154 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: out of them, Because if you're looking to get two 155 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: miles out of that next motor generator for your hybrid, 156 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: or sixty miles out of that next set of axles 157 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: for whatever it is you're driving, even buying an original 158 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: equipment part probably won't get you there. It'll get you 159 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: further because it's a quality piece, but it won't get 160 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: you to where you were when it actually failed. Some 161 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: cars just tend to eat up parts, and some cars 162 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: just tend to go through and have various issues with parts. 163 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: It's just it's it's characteristic of them. That too is 164 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: engineered into the car, and that too helps create the 165 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: car in the way that we see it. So stop 166 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: and think about that the next time you're buying parts 167 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: or the next time you're asking a mechanic. Hey, we're 168 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: gonna do this repair. What's this going to take. I've 169 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: said it for years. You're not buying the parts at 170 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: a repair shop as much as you're buying the shop. 171 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: I told someone this week, and I've said this for 172 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 1: the very longest time. Also, you know, when I picked 173 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: my parts, I think m a chef. I'm buying lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cucumber. 174 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: I'm getting the ingredients from various sources to make the 175 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: best salad I know how to make. If you don't 176 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: want me to make the best salad, and then maybe 177 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: I'll choose a lesser quality tomato or a lesser quality onion, 178 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: and I'll still try and make it as best I can. 179 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: When it gets to be too cheap, then I'm gonna 180 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: tell you I can't do the job. Just like I 181 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: told the person about breaks this week, they wanted to 182 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: know can we do it cheaper? And I explained why 183 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: it didn't matter. Uh, you know why it didn't make 184 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: sense because breaks or breaks and they're so gosh aren't important. 185 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: So parts, Yep, they only last to a certain point 186 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: and they fail when they want to. But sometimes, well 187 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: all the time. It has to do with the engineering 188 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: that goes in them, and how much leeway use the 189 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: customer give that repair shop to use the good, better 190 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: best scenario eight five zero nine zero running anting the 191 00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: Car Doctor coming back right after this welcome back. Ran 192 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: the end of the Car Doctor here at nine zero zero. 193 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: By the way, check us out on Facebook, Ron and 194 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: any in the Car Doctor. And if you need me 195 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: during the week or you want to shoot us an email, 196 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: we like reading emails up here as well, and we'll 197 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: make that the alternative if you want to get up 198 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: here and get your question answer that. We appreciate talking 199 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: to you in person. Ron at Car Doctor show dot com. 200 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: Let's get over to Chris in Minnesota and GM seeing 201 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: some problems with the heat. Chris, do you need the 202 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: heat yet? It's not really that cold up there yet, 203 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: is it? Yeah, it's about for you in the morning. Now, Okay, 204 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: let's fix the heat. What do you got um yesterday? 205 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: So the first time the lower mortar wouldn't run on it. 206 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: It's got electronic controls, it's got air conditioning also. Okay, 207 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: it looks to me like by looking at the electronic 208 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: read out that bounces around and kind of fades in 209 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: and out and I'm not getting to blower order to run. Okay, 210 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: when you say it bounces in and out and it 211 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: fades into out what you're talking about the control head 212 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: or or yeah we're not. I'm looking at the electronic 213 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: redoubt on the control in the dash. Okay, um, let 214 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: me ask you this. The blower motor doesn't turn on 215 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: at all? Yeah, it doesn't any speed? All right? If 216 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: you turn the air conditioning on, does the compressor click? 217 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: I haven't listened to that. Okay. If you go to 218 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 1: defrost or you know, floor or face, do you hear 219 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: the blend doors changing position? I haven't used one that 220 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: happen been running. I'll try all's off, you know, just 221 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: to see, you know, does the control head make everything 222 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: work except for the blower? And if it does, then 223 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start to think, well, maybe I've got something 224 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: else going on here. Maybe I've got a bad control 225 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: head for other reasons, but perhaps I've just got something 226 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: related to the blower circuit. And then I'm gonna tell 227 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: you to go over and find the blower. Uh. There's 228 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: gotta be twelve vaults all right at the blower resistant 229 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: which is the B wire, the red wire you gotta 230 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: have twelve volts there, all right, Um, you've gotta have 231 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: twelve volts in twelve vaults out on the purple wire. 232 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: The purple wire should be the one feeding the blower. 233 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: And then if you follow that along and look through 234 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: the connectors, I would not be surprised if the if 235 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: at either end, if the connector at the blower resistor 236 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: is melted, uh, not an uncommon thing. And if it, 237 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: if it is melted, obviously, all that's got to be repaired. 238 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: And then you know, we've we could also have a 239 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: problem with the blower motor itself. There's gonna be two 240 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: wires at the blower motor. There usually is a purple 241 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 1: and a black ground or it's gonna ground internally through 242 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: the case. But usually it's a two wire connector. And 243 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: do you have power and ground there? Here's a case 244 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: where if it shows twelve vaults at the blower but 245 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: it won't light, you know, I'm sorry it won't run, 246 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna tell you to get a headlight just go. 247 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: You know, this is why I love keeping like a 248 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: old school round headlight or a square headlamp around the shop. 249 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: And I've actually got to set a test lead solder 250 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: to mine with different end connectors on it. Just plug 251 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: it into the socket for the blower motor. If you 252 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 1: change the speed setting on the blower control head, you 253 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: should see the light go dim dim, you know, dim, brighter, 254 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: brightest bright. You know what I'm saying. It'll it'll change 255 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: more honity, right, and at that point you can all right, 256 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: so I've got that. That means the circuits work, and 257 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: that means I got a bad blower mode. Okay, that's 258 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: how we do check out, all right, And just like 259 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: I said, it's just this. This is a pretty basic 260 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: animal in ninety four. There's nothing too smart here. So 261 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: you want to just approach it from a simplistic point 262 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: of view. Not to say you don't have a bad 263 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: control head for other reasons. But let's verify the blower first, 264 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: all right, kiddo, all right, stay warm, all right, you 265 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: take good care. Um. Yeah, I always go back to 266 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: basics always, you know, how does it work? How does 267 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: it have to come apart? And what do I what 268 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: do I have to do in order to get it 269 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: to work? Um? Recent article, and I want to talk 270 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: about this real quick because I I you know, I 271 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: feel like my world is closing in on me, and 272 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna understand. In a second recent article 273 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: by our friend Paul Eisenstein out on NBC news dot com, 274 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: GM is going all electric. It's gonna ditch the gas 275 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: and diesel powered cars. GM plans to go one is 276 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: your percent electric, Paul writes the Detroit automaker has announced 277 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: this past week. GM currently offers one extended range electric 278 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: vehicle to Bolt TV, but we'll have two others within 279 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: eighteen months, and at least twenty to be in the 280 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: lineup by three. So we've got what years this Uh, 281 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: we got six seven years, We've probably got ten years. 282 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: But all electric. You ever stop to think about how 283 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: that's going to change the balance of power in the world. 284 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: If GM goes to an all electric vehicle, there'll be 285 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: no more demand from Middle East oil, to be no 286 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: more demand to extract oil, you know, at the current 287 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: levels where these people are gonna work. Um does that mean? 288 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: You know? And it's I envisioned this as getting harder 289 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: all of a sudden. You know, there's there's gonna be 290 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: some testlas, and there'll be some other electric goals, and 291 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, the demand for gasoline is 292 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: gonna go down and they'll be less gas gas stations. 293 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: And then does that mean that there's gonna be less 294 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: gas stations and less gas stations and then just everything 295 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: really quickly in a in a very short period of time, 296 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: switches over to and becomes electric vehicles. Um, just just 297 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: like wow, you know, just wow. General Motors believes in 298 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: an electric future. H g M Vice president Mark Ruth said, 299 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: although the future won't happen overnight, GM is committed to 300 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: driving increased usage and acceptance of electric vehicles through no 301 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: compromise solutions that meet our customer needs. And then, has 302 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: anybody talked about the economic impact as far as jobs, 303 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: you know, outside the original arena in terms of, you know, 304 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: we don't need the gas station, we don't have as 305 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: many cars breaking, we don't need the mechanics, we don't 306 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: need as many snap on guys. I uh, I sometimes 307 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: I fear the future. In recent months, a number of 308 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: manufacturers Paul contin us, we're talking about Paul Eizenstunni's written 309 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: article about GM announcing all electric vehicles. Uh. Number of 310 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: manufacturers have announced plans to electrify their product lines. All 311 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: Volvo models launch from and beyond will either use hybrid, 312 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: plug in or pure battery electric drive trans I you know, 313 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: Volvo to me isn't a player anymore. They sold half 314 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: a million cars last year. I think at best, Uh, 315 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: they're not what they once were, and I I question 316 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: which way they're gone. But better heads than minor cooler 317 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: heads will prevail. I guess these guys are smarter than me. 318 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: Last month, Volkswagen, here's a company that should really be 319 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: talking about how they're gonna make the world cleaner. Volkswagen 320 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: said it will invest twenty billions to develop electric electrified products. 321 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: Every model sold by its various brands, including v W, A, D, Bentley, 322 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: and Lamborghini, will be offered with at least one battery 323 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: based drive train option, but GM says it we'll go 324 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: a step further. GM's goal is to abandon the internal 325 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: combustion engine entirely. At some yet unspecified point. All of 326 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: its products will draw power either from batteries or hydrogen. 327 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: Fuel cells are sometimes referred to his refillable batteries. They 328 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: really on devices called stacks to combine hydrogen and oxygen. Um, 329 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: how are we gonna make all this work? And and 330 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: again the infrastructure support again, how are we going to 331 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: create all these jobs government mandates. We're gonna skip over 332 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: this a little bit. Government mandates are clearly driving the 333 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: industry is pushed to electrify, even though the Trump administration 334 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: is expected to roll back the federal corporator shool economy. 335 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: California's new ZEV zero emission vehicles mandate, that's what ZEV 336 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: stands for. You like that. You have to know your 337 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: hieroglyphics and abbreviations to be a mechanic. California's new ZEV 338 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: mandate will require automakers to collectively sell millions of battery 339 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: or hydrogen vehicles in the years ahead. I don't I 340 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: don't see it. It's not a matter of acceptance. It's 341 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: a matter of what's the economic what's the economic influence? 342 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: And that's really what I'm looking at. I could go 343 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: out and buy an electric car tomorrow. You can go 344 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: out and buy an electric car tomorrow. We could sell 345 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, fifty million electric cars tomorrow. How is 346 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: that going to affect us? You know, in terms of 347 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: we we've got an economic business model predicated on the 348 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: internal combustion engine, and I don't see things changing that fast. Tom, 349 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: I want you to get Paul eyes in Stein on 350 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: the phone.

What's 364 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: to talk about electric cars and some questions in comments? Lisa, 365 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: welcome to the Car Doctor. How can I help Hiron Well? 366 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: Listening do you talk? It can kind of brought up 367 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: a point in my head and I'm kind of wondering 368 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: if you have any idea. But you had a caller 369 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: from southern Minnesota earlier because he said it was forty 370 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: down there. I'm in northern Minnesota. We've had twenty two 371 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: mornings in a row, so my garden's done. Yeah, I 372 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: guess so, which brought me to my point. You know, 373 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: come late December into January, especially February and early March, 374 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: we get down to teams twenties thirties below zero. How 375 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: am I going to start my electric car at thirty below? 376 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: Will it start at thirty below? Can I use the 377 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 1: electric car when it gets that cold? There are two 378 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: electric cars in the town next to where I live, 379 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: and neither one of them are out on the road 380 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: when it's wintertime in the summer. It's a it's a 381 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,239 Speaker 1: great question. And you know, when I saw it come 382 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: up on my screen, I made a comment to Tom. 383 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: I said, you know, in all the testing of electric cars, 384 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: they always talk about while we're testing the electric car 385 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: here in southern California, uh, you know where it's you know, 386 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: where it's seventy eight degrees. Nobody ever talks about testing 387 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: it in a cold climate extremity like that. And and 388 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 1: we do have a testing center four cars up here 389 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: for when it gets that cold, but they're not testing 390 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: electrics up there yet either. And and you know, common 391 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: sense will common sense, Lisa would would tell us that, 392 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: you know, like the car's battery today, when it goes 393 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: to start it in a degree or a below zero 394 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: day up there in Minnesota, it's strange, right, So you've 395 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,719 Speaker 1: you've you've got to think the electric car is not 396 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: only going to be strained to start it, but the 397 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: cold weather is going to shorten its life. So that's 398 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: what I was thinking, because you know, I've only had 399 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: one car. It was a Pontiac Transport and that van 400 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: would start safefully at thirty five below zero without having 401 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: the block heater plugged in. Yeah, and it was one 402 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: of the few vehicles I had that would start without 403 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: being plugged in. And then I had a buticle Saber 404 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: I had to plug in every single time it got 405 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: below twenty above. And then because it wouldn't start when 406 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: it got colder. Well, and then the question is going 407 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: to be in the problem is going to be in 408 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: my mind as the mechanic I'm thinking. So Lisa brings 409 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: me your car and she says, Ron, it didn't start 410 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: the other morning when it was twenty below, but now 411 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: we're having a warm spell, and it's it's it's it's 412 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: thirty above, and I can't duplicate. I can't duplicate the problem. 413 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: We're not talking about taking the battery out of the 414 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: car and sticking in in the freezer to test it 415 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: and see how it handles the cold. We're talking about 416 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: the whole car. Does that mean I'm gonna have to 417 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: drive my drive that electric car to the hockey rink 418 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: and leave it in there overnight and let it freeze 419 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 1: and then see how it starts the next morning, like 420 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: And that's I just I just I just don't see it. 421 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what the fascination is. Um, I'm gonna 422 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: go out on a limb here and say that I 423 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: think we're I don't We're not being fed a bill 424 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: of goods. But I think they're going to an extreme, 425 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: all right, I just just a gut call. I think 426 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: if you know, the reports I read ten fifteen years 427 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: ago were that if we converted ten percent of the 428 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: fleet to an alternate fuel source, the price of gasoline 429 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: will go down under a bucket gallon. Now we want 430 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: to take the entire well, now they want to take 431 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: the entire fleet. And then there was conversation ten years 432 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: ago where they said, but that will never happen because 433 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: the economic impact of gasoline under a dollar a gallon 434 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: would be too detrimental to the to the economy in 435 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: the country and the world. So now we're going to 436 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: eliminate gasoline altogether. Um okay, And then what happens to 437 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: everyone who needs gasoline for their vintage car, or everyone 438 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: who needs gasoline for their snow blower or their chainsaw. 439 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: Are you know the little things that they gas the lawnmower. Well, 440 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: and then you know here in Jersey they just raised 441 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: They just add cents a gallon to the price of 442 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: gas as a tax to pay for road repair some 443 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: of the other thing. I was going to bring up 444 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: what happens to the road jacks because that goes by 445 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: gallon sold and then and they just keep raising it. Well, 446 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: if everybody's driving electric, you're not going to be having 447 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: no road dack, right, So how are they going to 448 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: collect that? Are they going to take an average and 449 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: put an average tax on everybody's electric utility bill for 450 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: what they're using to charge their electric car. Nobody's talking 451 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, you know, Lisa, it just listen. I 452 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: get it. We want to clean the air up, we 453 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: want to save the planet. But we've got to have 454 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: some common sense. And and I'm not saying I agree, 455 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: And that's what's lacking in world Today's common sense in 456 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: a lot in a lot of ways. Kid. Uh it 457 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: really is uh, you know, it's it's there's always a 458 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: logical reason, and there's always a logical way out of it. 459 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: And so far, all I'm seeing is, let's just create 460 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: something else. And I'm sure I am sure somewhere somebody's 461 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: got a four inch the case study, a thousand pages 462 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: long of why this is a great idea. You better 463 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: be able to present it to the American people and 464 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: clear cut English language that they can understand it and 465 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: you know, go along with it, because if you don't 466 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: get the public behind it, you're you're trying to shove 467 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 1: an elephant down their throat and they're not gonna like it. 468 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: And you know that's that's gonna be a problem. You're 469 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: just not gonna see people get behind it. Um, you know. 470 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: Here in Jersey, so they did away with the inspection 471 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: program and this is a bird in my saddle. They 472 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: did away with the inspection program for safety a couple 473 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: of years back. Now for me to do a state 474 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: inspection I I bring the car in, I plug into 475 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: the O B D two port under the dashboard. If 476 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: the if the codes are clear and the monitors are run, 477 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: the car passes, it gets a sticker. There's some pay 478 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: for work involved, but it's no big deal. This morning, 479 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm on my way to the chiropractor to get adjusted 480 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: so I can start my Saturday routine. And the Dodge 481 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: Caravan on behind has one breake light left side, it's 482 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: got the third break light out. It's got no right 483 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: side break light, and the right side directional is flashing, 484 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: is blinking fast, telling me it's either a bulb or 485 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: a ground issue, and maybe that's why the break light 486 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: doesn't work. And I started thinking. In the last month alone, 487 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: I bet there's been a half a dozen vehicles I've 488 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: been behind that are missing bulbs. Now, what's the safety factor? 489 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: How's that going to affect me? I'm riding on the 490 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: same road as that guy that refuses to maintain and 491 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: take care of his car, but yet he's been given 492 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: a pass. He's not taking care of the vehicle. And 493 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: you know, I look at electric cars. Are we creating 494 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: a pass for somebody? Are we creating a way to 495 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: make it easier for somebody else to collect something on 496 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: the other end that they're not telling us about yet. 497 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: And I'm just I'm very concerned about the electric future. 498 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: I think it's going to change. Yeah, it's gonna change 499 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: things in a radical, radical way. And you know what 500 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: people don't realize. I just read the other day the 501 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 1: SEEMA trade show Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association is coming up 502 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas in November next month. All right, do 503 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 1: you know how big of a business? Do you know 504 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: how big of a business the SEMA aftermarket represents to 505 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: the economy. It is a it is a what do 506 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: you think it is? A couple hundred million at least? Okay, 507 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: it's a one point five billion with a B business. 508 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: They were about it. So you're gonna carve one point 509 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: five billion out of the economy by taking away the 510 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: internal combustion engine. And just what are we gonna do 511 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: to our electric cars? Rewinding the armatures like we did 512 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 1: slot cars as a little kid, and make them go 513 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: faster and that's it, and and you know it, just 514 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: it's we're not ready for this. I don't think we're 515 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: gonna be ready for this in ten twenty thirty years Uh, 516 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's it's to fix these I 517 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: got another point i'd like to bring up that I 518 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: just learned about today. And I don't know if they're 519 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: doing it on the East coast, but from where I live, 520 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: all the way down south and all the way west, 521 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: they're putting this cold aggregate process on all the roads. 522 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 1: They can like lay this stuff a mile an hour, 523 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: I was told, and I have now learned from one 524 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: of my customers, since they've did all these little back 525 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: roads this way. It wears the rubber off of tires. 526 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: In three months, he has brand new General tires, he said, 527 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: in three months he's can see an average years worth 528 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: of wear on those tires. And it's from the roads. 529 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: And what's the cold back you get supposed to do? 530 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: Melt the melt the snow in the eyes. Uh No, 531 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: it's just supposed to be a cheap fix, literally, a 532 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: cheap fix to do. What to make the road so 533 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: they're they're make the road smooth so they're not pot hold, 534 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: so they don't have to pave them. It's a paving process. 535 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,239 Speaker 1: They lay rock down, then they lay this spray over 536 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: the rocks, and when that sets, they put a ceilant 537 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: over it and then they're done. Then all I have 538 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: to do is paint the lines. Sounds like a giant road, 539 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: only this stuff is rough. You know, if you walk 540 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: on it with bare feet, it's not smooth like regular 541 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: pain sounds like it sounds like a road made off 542 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: the tires. Well that's insane. Well, yeah, that's what I thought. 543 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: I can tell you why. I can tell you why. 544 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: And they have to do that, Lisa, I can tell 545 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 1: you why they have to do that. They probably have 546 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 1: to do that because they're probably having to do that 547 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: because they can't collect enough road tax because they're not 548 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: selling rough castline and now they're going to collect less. 549 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: So um. Yeah, it's wow, crazy stuff, Lisa. I appreciate 550 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: your call. I gotta go. I'm up against the break. 551 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: But you keep listening, and you keep asking those questions, 552 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: and you push from the you push from the Great North. 553 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: I'll push from the east coast. We get a couple 554 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: of people from the west and the south, and we'll 555 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: all meet in the middle and we'll straighten it all 556 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: out somehow, some way. I'm running aiding the car doctor. 557 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm back right after this. Hey, welcome back. I think 558 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: that was Tom Ray. He was happy the show's almost over. 559 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: I've listened to your radio show before, but never had 560 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: to ask a question. I now have an issue that 561 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: I've received three different answers for. Oh good, I can 562 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: I can weigh in. I can be the tiebreaker. I 563 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: have subar U Forester with seven thousand miles on. It 564 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: runs well and if taken care of it. The check 565 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: engine light came on recently, a code P zero was told. 566 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: I was told need new catalytic converters or replaced it 567 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: with an aftermarket once since it was cheaper. Well, okay, right. 568 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: Then a month later the check engine light came on 569 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: again and the oxygen sensors were replaced. I figured I 570 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: was good. Then last week the check engine light came on. 571 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: I want to be the guy that has the check 572 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: I want to be the guy that has the bulb contingency. Alright, 573 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: I figured the way the check engine lights keep coming on, 574 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: somebody's gotta be making a lot of money with burnt 575 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: out bulbs. Mechanic I had replaced the first time said 576 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: nothing can be done since everything was replaced already. Took 577 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: it to another place to mechanics, said the f the 578 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: market replacement was too small and that's why it was 579 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: throwing a code, and she should use an oe. One 580 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: third mechanics said, replaced the cat again, said replace the 581 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: cat again. It should be under warranty. So I'm emailing 582 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: you for an answer. No one seems to know or 583 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: want to know what might be going on. My first 584 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,479 Speaker 1: mechanics said, even if he replaces that, it would throw 585 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: the same code again. I'm going to see if he 586 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: will replace the cat since the warranty is still good. 587 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: Maybe it was just a bad one. Any advice this 588 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: comes to us from Andrew, Well, did anybody diagnose any 589 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: of this? And that's my first question. So in other words, 590 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: we had three shops. See and this is why I 591 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: keep saying we can't have electric cars. You've got three 592 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: mechanics that nobody's really talking about diagnosing a problem at 593 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: p zero four twenty on a on a guest lean engine. 594 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: They just want to you know, this cat's bad, use 595 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: this catch. Just use an O wee cat. That'll solve everything. 596 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to or nobody has the ability to diagnose 597 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: any of this. Now you're gonna give them an electric 598 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: vehicle with with the computing power of the rockets that 599 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: went to the moon and so forth, and all that conversation, 600 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: and expect them to be able to repair it. You 601 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: know what, diagnosis on anything, whether it's the car in 602 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: the bay, the electric car that's about to be in 603 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: the bay, the toaster oven in the kitchen, the electric 604 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: shaver that doesn't work, it still takes knowledge and and 605 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 1: diagnostic skill and logic p. Zero four twenties. Pretty easy, 606 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: all right. You've got a catalytic converter. It's a giant filter. 607 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: Think of it like that, and you're passing exhausts through it. 608 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,719 Speaker 1: There's a catalytic reaction. It gets hot and it changes 609 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: the harmful pollutants into non harmful pollutants. It has to 610 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: operate at a certain efficiency level. It has to be 611 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: able to reduce the harmful pollutants by a certain percentage 612 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: or certain volume. All right, whatever the number is. Whatever. 613 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: There's an oxygen sensor in front of the cat. There's 614 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: an oxygen sensor after the cat. Let's just call them sensors. 615 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: Censor a censor bay. The computer looks at what sensor 616 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: A is reading, and it looks at what sensor B 617 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: is reading. It could be reducing widgets folks. It doesn't matter. 618 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: Think of it like this. Keep it simple. As long 619 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: as it reduces the widget level of what's coming in 620 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: the cat to what's going out of a cat by 621 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: the SEV mark or mark, whatever the spec is, that's 622 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: a good cat. If it's not, then we've got to 623 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: just do some other checks. I'd want to know what's 624 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: the thermostat is the engine of the proper temperature? Does 625 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: it have a correct thermostat in it? Could it have 626 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: a bad OH two center or a bead censor A? 627 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: I'm sorry? Could it have a bad censor A? Could 628 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: it have a bad sensor B? There's some basic tests 629 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: for that, and after that it needs a catalytic converter. 630 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: It's that simple. What I just described to is probably 631 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: all of an hour's test. If that, and then we'll 632 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: know for sure none of this. Well, try this, try that, 633 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: stand in your head, spitwood nichols, rub your belly, you know, 634 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: blow your nose twice on a dark, cloudy night. You 635 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: know this is ridiculous. And you're gonna give these guys 636 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: an electric vehicle to diagnosed us. And the first person 637 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: that gets one that says it doesn't start in twenty 638 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: below weather. They're gonna be lost, America is gonna be walking. 639 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: I think it's time to buy stocking horseshoes. Zero zero 640 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: running the car doctor coming back right after this welcome back. 641 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: Weren't any of the car docul Let's get into it 642 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: real quick. Charles from Virginia thirteen GMC Yukon, Go, Charles, 643 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: I got two minutes. Hey, Ron got a GMC Yukon 644 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: with the five three leader V eight and the six 645 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: speed transmission, and it's a great vehicle. But this thing 646 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: wants to get up in fifth gear just as quick 647 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: as it can to get the RPMs down around the 648 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: thousand or so, you know, when you're going thirty five 649 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: miles an hour or so, and if you ever want 650 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: to step on the gas, there's there's such a leg 651 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: for it to down shift. And I was just wondering, 652 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: can computer be re flashed or reprogrammed so that it 653 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't want to get into the higher gears as quickly? 654 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: I got? I got a word for you, Charles. You're ready. No, No, 655 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: not a dumb question at all, but absolutely a great question. Um. 656 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: The word is super chips.
