1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Ron and Anian, I'm surprised we don't see moral electronic issues.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: In course, I'm surprised we don't see more failures when

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: you think about the amount of modules and software and

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: programming that are in cars today. The car Doctor you

36
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: you in the next live broadcast. I want to talk

37
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: real quick about plastic if I can, because I want

38
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: to get this out. This was kind of interesting this week, um,

39
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: you know, talking about how cars are changing, right, had

40
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: a think about this. A twenty fifteen Chrysler two hundred

41
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: that had oil leaks and coolant leaks. They ran it

42
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: out of oil, they ran it out of cooling and

43
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: long story short Chrysler, in their infinite wisdom, makes the

44
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: oil filter adapter housing and the oil cooler out of plastic,

45
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: and then they bury this plastic two piece of plastic

46
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: underneath the plastic intake manifold, and the old rings on

47
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: this big chunk of plastic start to leak, and it

48
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: pumped probably five quarts of oil out over a course

49
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: of time, and it now has undercoated the rear of

50
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: this vehicle to the point the oil is dripping off

51
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: the back bumper. It will never rust and it needed

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: to be replaced. If that wasn't bad enough, there's also

53
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: a plastic crossover tube, a plastic passageway if you will,

54
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: that takes cooling from one side of the cylinder block

55
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: to the other side of the cylinder block. In the

56
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: front of the engine, that piece of plastic is leaking.

57
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: You know, it's staggering. We're making cars out of plastic.

58
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: You know, I hate the clue anybody in, but it's

59
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of critical mass stuff that you know, what's

60
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: the durability and longevity UM I had to deal with

61
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: that this week. I had a Chevy Cruise that had

62
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: a coolant leak at the thermostat housing alright, where the

63
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: thermostat housing bolted to the water pump. It was just

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: it was just spraying water everywhere, and you're saying, and

65
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: there's no crack. In the case of the Cruise, I

66
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: took it apart. The I mean cheesy design. They held

67
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: the thermostat in place to the thermostat housing with these

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: two little wafer thin fingers that kept the thermostat pellet

69
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: in place. And over time you could see that the

70
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: heat and the corrosion of the cool and the acidity.

71
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: And it was a heated thermostat, so it was always

72
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: it was always warm, if you will. Had baked the

73
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: play stick, gotten at brittle, and it just cracked and failed. Now,

74
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: interestingly enough, in the case of the Cruise, I had

75
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: replaced the I replaced that thermostat. I got a piece

76
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: at a GM and I looked at it, and it

77
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: was the same cheesy, you know, health thin. Can we

78
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: make a piece of plastic? I got one from motor Red, alright,

79
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: the good guys over at motor Red. I got a

80
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 1: motor Red thermostat and I looked at it. They actually

81
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: improved the design. They put more plastic in it to

82
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: hold it tighter and you know, less fatigue, less issues.

83
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: So I put a motor Red thermostat in that in

84
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: that Chevy Cruise, and I think we're gonna get longer,

85
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: longer life out of it. And you know, those are

86
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: the things we're looking for. Tip of the hat to

87
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: the folks at motor Red, No wonder you guys just

88
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: got so much industry recognition more at motor red dot

89
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: com um. You know, we're looking for that kind of improvement,

90
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: but everything has gotten to be plastic. It made me think,

91
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, that was the cruise, it was christ there

92
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: there was something else we did this week that was plastic,

93
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: and I couldn't help but think that, you know, we

94
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about um, the government erasing fuel

95
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: and eliminating cars. The cars are going to eliminate themselves

96
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: are made out of plastic. They're gonna dissolve. Just point

97
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: of contention. So I just wanted to get that out

98
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: that I'm questioning what's really going on out there, but

99
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: plastic is playing a big part in that vehicle you're

100
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: looking at. Let's get over the line. We want to

101
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: talk to John elivin Subaru and some problems with the clock.

102
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: John welcome to the car doctor, sir, how can I help? Hey, thanks, Ron,

103
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: You're welcome. I've got a two thousand eleven subre out back.

104
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: And uh, last time I changed the oil, the oil

105
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: light didn't go off. So I pulled the uh battery

106
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: cable the negative battery cable, left it off for about

107
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds, put it back on, and the oil light

108
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: went off. Well, I noticed as I was driving that

109
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: the clock had set itself to Eastern time from Central.

110
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: So I pushed the stems up to the side that

111
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: reset the clock. Uh, and they didn't work. And uh,

112
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: so I just drove for a while and I kept

113
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: checking it and they never did work again. You know,

114
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: So you don't want to move to New Jersey is

115
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: what you're saying. You want to fix this, not anytime soon.

116
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: Well you're are you? Are you in Wisconsin? No, I'm

117
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: in Illinois, Central Illinois. Well you have our our prayers

118
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: are with you guys today. Um you guys, Um you guys.

119
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: You guys have more snow than us, though, right so

120
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: we have less snow. I think, well, we don't have

121
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: any right now, but we're gonna get a little bit

122
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: uh tonight. Um. So I went to subar group, and

123
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: they pulled me into the to the bay there and

124
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: the tech come out. I told him my problem, and uh,

125
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: he looked at it and he pushed the stems for

126
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: the clock and everything, and after doing it, he said, well,

127
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: when he hold the battery cable, Uh, something happened in

128
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: the computer hand. He said, uh, you just have to

129
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: live with it. And I said all right, and that

130
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: was it. I was gonna pull both battery cables and

131
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: let them sit for a while. Len and I was

132
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: afraid that might cause other problems, and I felt, well,

133
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna called the car doctor and see what he says. Listen,

134
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: there's there's a rule around the shop. The car's already broken.

135
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:28,559
Speaker 1: How much worse can it be? You know, it's already broke.

136
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: You can't break what's broke. So you know, um, if if, if,

137
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: if you can break it worse by disconnecting both battery cables,

138
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: then Subaru should stop selling cars in the United States

139
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: because they don't hold up. That doesn't make any sense

140
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: to me. Uh. You know, that's like saying every super

141
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: with a dead battery all of a sudden is gonna

142
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: pop a computer module because it doesn't have proper voltage.

143
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: That's you know what that that that technician needs to

144
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: go back to school. I would I would pull both

145
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: battery cables. And if you have the ability, you know

146
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: back in the day, and I'm gonna say, I'm gonna

147
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: say a word, and Tom's gonna faint because he loved

148
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: radio shack. Well, there he goes. Um, if you could

149
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: get your hands on it, if you could get your

150
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: hands on a ten m one watt resistor and make

151
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: a jumper wire and put that jumper between the two

152
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:25,679
Speaker 1: battery cables, that will safely allow the computers to bleed down.

153
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: It's it's sort of a it's sort of an electrical

154
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: shock absorber. That's why we put that resistor in there.

155
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: And it will it will allow the computers to bleed down.

156
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: And you can leave that hooked up as a jumper

157
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: for you. Leave it hooked up for ten fifteen minutes,

158
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: bleed everything out of the car. Let it. Let it

159
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: come down to zero, all right, and then put the

160
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: cables back on. Put the positive on first, put the

161
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: negative on second, and and see what and see what

162
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: that does for you, all right, and try that and

163
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: if if that doesn't bring it back, then I have

164
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: to say that. Yeah, either we pop the fuse somewhere.

165
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but either we pop the fuse

166
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: somewhere that you know, I would go through fuses just

167
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: to see how the circuits are protected. Or you need

168
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: a module of some magnitude. But boy, if that is,

169
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: that's that's too fragile for me. That's a car's gotta

170
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: be able. I understand it's a giant computer, but it's

171
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: got to be able to take some electrical durest. That

172
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: just doesn't make any sense. So um, let's give that

173
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: a shot. All right, You let me know what happens

174
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: to John. You're very welcome. You're very welcome, sir. Take

175
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: good care. Let's pull over and take a plus for

176
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: a cause, I'm running any in the car doctor. When

177
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: we come back, we're gonna go out to Missouri and

178
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: talk to Gerald right after this. Don't go away. What's

179
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: more fun than listening to Ron and any in the

180
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: car doctor and getting that car fixed? Right? Five? Five

181
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: five zero zero zero? Give Ron a call? Now back

182
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: to Ron. Hey, let's go over to Gerald and Missouri. Gerald.

183
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: Are you there, sir, Gerald? Yesterda? What's going on? How

184
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: are you? How can I help, Well, I've got a

185
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: Doe four E one fifty. It's got a four point

186
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: six in it. It blew a spark plug out, which

187
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: which passenger sided, driver's side passengers or yeah, passenger side,

188
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: third plug back from the front. Uh, it was the

189
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: far back one, the last one of the second to

190
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: last one, the last one. Okay, and Ford put a

191
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: Healy coil in there, and of course it blew out.

192
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: And then I contacted them and they said that there

193
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: was nothing they could do, but um, talking to other

194
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: mechanics and stuff. One suggested, um, just replacing the head

195
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: because it's got two thousand miles on it. Another one said,

196
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: go ahead and replace both heads. And then the third

197
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: one said, well, don't mess with it, just put a

198
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: new motor in it and keep going. Well, okay, so

199
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: it's got twenty thousand miles on it, it's sixteen. Let's

200
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: see if it's about fifteen years old. And so the argument,

201
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: the argument could be made, Yeah, let's let's let's swing

202
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: a motor, put a motor in it. Let's let's look

203
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: at it from the other perspective. Let's say you put

204
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: two cylinder heads on it. Did you get a price

205
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: for that yet No, I heven't. Okay. So here's what

206
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna do. You're gonna get some numbers together. You're

207
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: gonna get some numbers together just to just to do heads,

208
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna weigh that out against doing a motor.

209
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Right now, the Healy coil repair that the dealership did

210
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: didn't hold correct all right, So right now it's not working.

211
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: Now have you tried taking it to a machine shop.

212
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: Not not disparaging the dealership, you know ability, but you know,

213
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: generally around here, speaking from our perspective, you know I

214
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't do that repair in house. I don't have the

215
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: skill set. I don't do enough of them. I can

216
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: tell you how it's on. I've watched it done. I

217
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: actually did one with the head off the car. I

218
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: went down to a Buddies machine shop and I talked

219
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: to him to letting me do one because I wanted

220
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: the experience. But it's not something I would sell over

221
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: the counter to a consumer. I would say, listen, I'm

222
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: gonna take it over to At the time, there were

223
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: machine shops in the area. Now there's nothing, and the problem,

224
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: the problem has gone away from our part of the

225
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: country for whatever reason, we don't see it nearly as much.

226
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: But what I want you away against is, you know,

227
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: if you take it to a machine shop, because there

228
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: are some things better than Healey coils that can go

229
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: in there. But what's gonna limit that is how was

230
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: it repaired? How much metal did they pull out of

231
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: the head to put the Healey coil in versus what

232
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, putting a thread sirt or an insert in

233
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: there that the machine shop might have to do. Do

234
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: they have enough aluminum to work with still so that

235
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: that that could be a problem into itself. You get,

236
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying. Um, So it's can a

237
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: machine shop fix it? What's the price of doing heads?

238
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: What's the price of swinging a motor? And if you

239
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: if you do do heads or a motor, the questions become,

240
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: if you do head heads, what other issues does this

241
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: engine have? Does it have any oil leaks? Is the

242
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: oil pan rusty? The old four's where the oil pans

243
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: just seemed to rust out like holy heck. So you

244
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: know what other repairs are you gonna end up doing

245
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: to the engine other than doing cylinder heads? That becomes

246
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: a problem, and you know that puts you into do

247
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: you do an engine. I've got to think, you know,

248
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: new Jersey dollars, New Jersey dollars to swing a motor

249
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: in that truck is probably every bit of six grand

250
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: sixty bucks, all right. I don't I don't know what

251
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: the labor rate is, and you know so forth down

252
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: in Missouri way, but I can tell you from North Jersey,

253
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: that's probably a going rate doing cylinder heads. The big

254
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: bucks is going to be the heads themselves. I've got

255
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: to think you were at least half that, maybe two

256
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: thirds of that. So the next question becomes, before you

257
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: put thirty to six thousand dollars into a truck that mileage,

258
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: that age, what's the rest of the truck like? And

259
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying not to do this, Gerald, I'm just saying,

260
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: you've got to look at this. Dollars and cents, no emotion,

261
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: all right, and you've you've got to stop to think.

262
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: Don't fall into the trap people say to me all

263
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: the time, it's a brand new truck. I just put

264
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: an engine in it. Yeah, there's about nine thousand other

265
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 1: pieces that still have two hundred thousand miles on it

266
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: that you know. It's it's not a new truck. It's

267
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a new truck with it's an

268
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: old truck with a new engine, so you know, and

269
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: then the question you've got to ask yourself is, and

270
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: again I'm not saying get rid of the truck. You

271
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: put a new engine in it, all right? If the

272
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: trans fails in three months, if it, if it, if it,

273
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: if it hasn't been replaced recently. If the trans were

274
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: to fail in three to six months, would you put

275
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: a transmission in it? And if the answer is yes,

276
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna tell you to do it. When you

277
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: do the engine and get it over with, what are

278
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: you waiting for? Because here's the catch and here's the

279
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: ultimate answer. Okay, you know, Let's say you put ten

280
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: grand in this truck and swing an engine in a transmission,

281
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: and you do a radiator, and you do your tune

282
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: up parts and your hoses and your belts and someone

283
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: so forth, and the rest of the truck's in good shape.

284
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: I don't worry about breaks and shocks. Those are were items.

285
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: Tires are were items. The interior has got old. You know,

286
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: the seat kind of fits your butt good, right, it's

287
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: just kind of broken in so it makes you happy

288
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: you go buy that truck new? Do you know how much? Uh?

289
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: You know? And and well you can't buy and what

290
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: is an E one fifty? This is a van, right, gerald,

291
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: there's a van or pick up? There's a van. Uh?

292
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: So you can't buy Yeah, you can't buy these anymore.

293
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: You have to buy a transport, a full size transport.

294
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: So you know the full sized transports this size are

295
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: sixty grand. So you gotta sit there and weigh it

296
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: out ten grand, sixty grand. Say that a couple of times,

297
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: and you'll get where I'm going, you know. So yeah,

298
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, it stinks, it happens, but it's just it's

299
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: just it's just things to think about. And then the

300
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: last question I always put in everybody's mind standing at

301
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: the counter talking about things like this at the shop,

302
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: is do you still need the vehicle? You know? Is

303
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: this something from a previous use? You know, you had kids,

304
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: you had a business, you had a reason to have

305
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: a full size van that maybe you don't need it anymore.

306
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: And you know, if it's if it's you know, I'll

307
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: tell I'll tell you the story. Like this my ninetie

308
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: shop truck, my little ranger, it's got two U or

309
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: sixteen thousand miles on it, and I was debating getting

310
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: rid of it this year just because I said, yeah,

311
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: do I really need it? A whole scrap to the

312
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: junkyard with it. You know, we don't really run out

313
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: for parts that much anymore. It's not necessarily as handy

314
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: as it once was every once in a while, and

315
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: it's a couple of grand to ensure for one vehicle.

316
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: It's getting expensive. Um. You know. I actually debated getting

317
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: rid of it because it didn't fit my lifestyle. And

318
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: in the end I decided to keep it because I

319
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: could come up with enough reason and justification. But it

320
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: forced me to look at, you know, the age, the mileage,

321
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: the cost to ensure. It forced me to look at

322
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: how bad do I need this vehicle? Or is it

323
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: something that I just have because I want to have it? Uh?

324
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta answer those questions, uh, you know. Um,

325
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: So that's that's kind of how I would take at Gerald.

326
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: It's it's got to start with a machine shop. Can

327
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: that be fixed? If it can't, then talk to them

328
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: about you know, and hopefully you find a machine shop

329
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: that can aid do headwork or be do engine work

330
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: and the fact that it's a van doing it. Doing

331
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: it as an engine is gonna be a whole lot

332
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: easier because the first problem they're gonna have is all

333
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: the exhaust manifold studs on both sides are gonna be

334
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: so weathered and rotted away they're not gonna be able

335
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: to get them off, and they're gonna break. At least

336
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: they would be in New Jersey. So, um, just just

337
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: things to be aware of, all right, sir, Well, yep,

338
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: just kind of a little side note. So you think

339
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: if I just got a team of horses and then

340
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: use it that a way, or just cut the top

341
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: off of it and use as a flyer box, well

342
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: I would think, no, listen, you know what. I'll tell

343
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: you what. I'll tell you a real quick story. Nissan

344
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: had a van, uh god, it's got to be twenty

345
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: five years ago. Nissan used to make a mini van

346
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: that got recalled from the factory a Quest. I think

347
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: it was at the Nissan Quest. I can't remember the

348
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: exact model, but Nissan, as a car company, they had

349
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: a van that just was a real It was a

350
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: horrible vehicle. So years ago it got recalled and a

351
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: friend of mine worked at the dealership where it got recalled,

352
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: and they got ahold of one of those. They cut

353
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: the top off completely, and him and his buddy, the

354
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: service manager, rode over to the neighboring dealership with a

355
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: complaint that we had a water league not telling them

356
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: who was coming, and they were taking it. The service

357
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: job in is a Hey, we're gonna take this car

358
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: into recall and take it back. What a shot they

359
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: saw when the van drove in with no roof. So

360
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: I get it, modify it, and use it. Gerald appreciate

361
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: the call. I'm on any in the car doctor. I'm

362
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: back right after this. Welcome back on any of the

363
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: car doctor. Let's get back to the phone's Jacob and Maine.

364
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: What's going on? Hi? Good? Not so? I have a

365
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: two thousand nine niece and Rome meets my wife's vehicle. Uh.

366
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: Couple of weeks back. She went to open the door

367
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: to get in it and started driving. Door wouldn't open

368
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: from the outside, so she had to crawl in through

369
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: ultimately to put the passenger door to the same thing. Uh.

370
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: And the electronics still still work on it. You can

371
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: hear the clicks and whatnot, but I haven't torn it apart. Myself,

372
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: but I'm guessing it's the uh, the the actual or

373
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: the door lock actual, but maybe the cables restrict or something,

374
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't know always there I can

375
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: buy cables for because the accident, I mean, the dealership

376
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: said for that type of job to doors from looking

377
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: at a thousand dollars and I just feel like they're

378
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 1: they're I'll kind of hose me on that. Well, tell

379
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: you what, Jacob, hold up before you do anything to this.

380
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: Did the dealership run the vent and check to see

381
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: if there's any open recalls on the vehicle. Well, they

382
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: didn't immediately, and I called my local mechanic just to

383
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: get at get his insight on on if he could

384
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: do a job like that or if I needed to

385
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: do it through dealership, And he said, before you do anything,

386
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: call your dealership and stat question if it's like I

387
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: recall that they didn't issue uh publicly, you just have

388
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: to have to request it. So I did call. They

389
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: looked all over and they they said maybe at one

390
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: time they may have been a recall, and then didn't

391
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: really defended to be answer, but they said I'm not

392
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: on it before any recall on on that particular part.

393
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: Why not, I said, said that, uh that if if

394
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: if it was recalled with it being an O nine,

395
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: it like the uh likely has been done or or

396
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: and if it hasn't been done, it's expired by now. Yeah, okay,

397
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: So for the first thing off the bat, and somebody

398
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: better proved me wrong on this. I know of no

399
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: recall that ever expires. I'm not yelling at you, all right,

400
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: I know I know of no recall that ever expires. Uh.

401
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 1: My my wife had an O five Malibu that had

402
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: a recall for the third middle row seatbelt buckle or

403
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: something that was just you know, you know what. We

404
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: got the recall notice every six months for the past

405
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: twelve years until I traded the vehicle, and I think

406
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 1: I still got one two months after it was traded in.

407
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: So recalls don't expire, all right, Yeah, you can kind

408
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: of in and have search for it. I think he's

409
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: holding me so to my knowledge, there is a recall

410
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: on that rogue. I don't have I can't tell you definitive,

411
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: but I don't know if too many rogues of that

412
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: generation that weren't. But there's a recall where they're changing there.

413
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: There's a recall because the exterior handles do just what

414
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: you're describing. Um, And what they're gonna do is what

415
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna do is they are going to put new

416
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: handles on it, and they're gonna put it they're gonna

417
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: put insulation to prevent water intrusion so it doesn't freeze.

418
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: And even if that was done, then they also have

419
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: then they also have an addendum to it where they

420
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: had exterior latch problems, the letch mechanism itself went bad,

421
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: and they change that. So I would I would get out, Yeah,

422
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: I would get out to n h t s A

423
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: dot gov National Highway Traffic Safety Authority dot gov, plug

424
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: plug your seventeen digit ven in and and and see

425
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: if that vehicle is applicable to it. To my knowledge,

426
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: it is. Wow. I'm glad. I heard that on on

427
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 1: a couple of forums. I saw, you know, some people said, oh,

428
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: I brought it into my dealership and they said, you know,

429
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: we'll take care of it for you for your charge,

430
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: and not the people said we had that same problem. Um,

431
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: I went after market and well, you know, each such

432
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: a slash. But so I saw that in a common problem.

433
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: But I I never would have thought, uh, yeah, maybe

434
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: I was right in the dealership is trying to put

435
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: the schools to me. Try a different dealer, you know.

436
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: And I don't understand that. I gotta tell you, I

437
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: don't understand that because the dealer is getting paid to

438
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: do it. It's a recall. Do the job son, you know.

439
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: So try that. That doesn't work, call me back. Try

440
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: talking to Nissan corporate too. But let me run. My

441
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: phones are backed up. Let me know if you did

442
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: anything else to you. Good luck to you, Jacob hanging there.

443
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: Let's go over to Tony in Wisconsin on nine Han

444
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: to CRV. Tony, what do you got? I gotta go

445
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: nine to c RV. That that will only start in

446
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: the UM flood mode, which the Honda dealership told me

447
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: was of course the gas downturn the key for like

448
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: seven seconds it will fire up. That's the only time

449
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: it will fire up. Though I have appeel code and

450
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: a p one. Well did all of this started once?

451
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Or is this all coming about you know, at different times? UM?

452
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: Overnight UM, As far as I can tell, it would start.

453
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: Drove to work Friday night, month Saturday morning. I woke

454
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: up was very cold that night. Woke up Saturday morning,

455
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: tried to start it. It wouldn't start. I thought I

456
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: had some frozen lines, and I thought it all out.

457
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: It wouldn't start, and I got angry, and I just like,

458
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to push it to the floor. And

459
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: then it started, right, But I mean, and then runs

460
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: that has a sluggers start the fault codes themselves? Did

461
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: the fault codes themselves all come out? Or is a

462
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: check engine lighting on? And and then it started? The

463
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: check engine light has been on? What I did? I

464
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: took it in and had codes cleared, and then drove

465
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: it for twenty or four hours. And these are the

466
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: two codes that came back. Um so were those the

467
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: two codes that were initially in it? Um? No, the

468
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: P one was not all right, but the one forty

469
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: five was okay. So it's got a purge valve fault.

470
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: That's the one, all right. I In the majority of cases,

471
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: you could take a car from New Jersey and drive

472
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: it to California and back with a one forty five.

473
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: It's not gonna matter. THEE one is the one we're

474
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: worried about. Three forty one generally points towards an issue

475
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: with the VTC or the valve time and control solenoid,

476
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: which affects cam shaft timing, which is obviously critical. You're

477
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: telling me you have to put your foot to the floor,

478
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: which is going to change in take manifold vacuum inside

479
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: the vehicle and engines a big air pump, which tells

480
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: me that with a P zero three forty one, we've

481
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: likely got in cold weather. Either the VTC solenoid is

482
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,360
Speaker 1: sticking and I'll put this in English in a minute. Um,

483
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 1: the VTC solenoid is sticking, or the timing chain has

484
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: jumped the tooth. How many miles on this car right

485
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: got high mileage, so it's probably got a stretch. It's

486
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: probably got a stretch timing chain. And I would tell

487
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: you to focus on the three forty one fold first

488
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: we'll get fixed. Focus on the three forty one. Tell

489
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: them to follow diagnostics for that. And the first step

490
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: is gonna be take of the bicycle with the two sprockets,

491
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: Big sprocket, little sprocket. You line up the sprockets, two dots,

492
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: they line up, they have to come around, make a

493
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: complete revolution. Line up again. Well, now one of your

494
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: dots is ahead of the other, so you know it's

495
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: likely CAM timing is out here, and the fact that

496
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: CAM timing is out you've now affected manifold vacuum, which

497
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 1: affects the way. If this is a mass airflow sensor car,

498
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: it's gonna affect the way air pulse has come through

499
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: the sensor. If this is a map sensor car, it's

500
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,239
Speaker 1: gonna affect the way the map sensor reads. Opening up

501
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: the throttle is the great equalizer and it it makes

502
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: the change, all right, So focus the v t C

503
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: I replaced about a month ago because I had I

504
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: had that code run um earlier too. Okay, So then,

505
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: so then now you've got a new part in there.

506
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: If you're a long time listener, you know what news

507
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: stands for never ever worked, Um, I knew. And then

508
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: and then the other question is now you got a

509
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: v t C in there, which it doesn't mean the

510
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: salinoid itself is bad. It just means valve timing is off.

511
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: So now you might if you've still got that fault.

512
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: Do you have a mechanical fault. Somebody has to mechanically

513
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: check the chain to make sure the bicycle sprockets haven't

514
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: jumped the tooth, that the chain has that much stretch

515
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: in it. Ye okay, all right, sir, but that's where

516
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: you're going. Focus on the three forty one. We'll go

517
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,239
Speaker 1: from there. Call me next week. Thank you very much.

518
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. Five zero the car doc is coming

519
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: right back. Don't go away. Right it on the wall

520
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: so you don't forget to call our car advice. Done right?

521
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: Eight five five five zero zero zero. Now back to rag. Hey,

522
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: we're in the run for the money. As we kind

523
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: of wind it down here, let's go over to Jim

524
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: in Colorado. Jim, you around with the car doctor. What's

525
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: going on? Iron? I have a nine four fifty the

526
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: early power stroke, and I don't use it all winter?

527
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: How often should I exercise it? As often as you can?

528
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: And I say that, and you know, on all seriousness,

529
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: cars that sit just there's nothing good about it. Uh

530
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: you know. Oh, let's see, gee, I just had black out.

531
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: I had the hot rod out two weeks ago. Three

532
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: weeks ago. There was no salt, there was no snow.

533
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: It was a semi warm day here in New Jersey,

534
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: about forty five degrees. I pulled the cover off and

535
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: I took it for a forty five minute roud. Uh

536
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, and it was about far five weeks since

537
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: I did at last. You know, they shouldn't sit that long.

538
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: It's not really great for him. Hopefully you're keeping it

539
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: inside in a warm garage or as its stored outdoors

540
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: it's storm at started and a warm shop and then

541
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: has a battery tender attached, right, so you know that's

542
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: okay if it has to sit all winter because you

543
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: just can't get it out, Jim over, inflate the tires,

544
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: keep it warm, keep the batteries on charge. You know, obviously,

545
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: with it being a diesel, you've got fuel concerns because

546
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: sometimes in a warm environment that affects the fuel quality too,

547
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: so you've got to work with that and put some

548
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: additives in there to keep the fuel fresh. But you know,

549
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: if it's just a case where you can't get it out,

550
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: then just keep it warm. But if you can, I

551
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: like to exercise everything every three to five weeks. It

552
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: just does them all the wonders in the world. All right, sir,

553
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: very good, Thank you, You're very welcome. You take good care.

554
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: Rolling in Delaware. You're up next seventy eight Cadillactaville. What's

555
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: going on here? Roland? All right right now, the first

556
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: time calling to you. I have a seventy eight catile

557
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: Xaville and it keeps popping the computer. Rout is members

558
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: on the computer, so I send it to a computer

559
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: place to get it repaired. But I don't know where

560
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: to get a replacement for it, right, so it lays

561
00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: it up, It runs great, it hown. Does this happen

562
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: rolling about twenty five minutes after I started up, all right,

563
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: So it's a continuous failure. So that means that there's

564
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: a when you say popping the computer out, you're telling

565
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: me it it actually kills the computers is somewhere and

566
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: the reason, for some reason the computer dies and the

567
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: car shuts off. Correct, Yeah, on the motherboard one or

568
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: that one of the areas chooses out. Uh, I've traced it.

569
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: And I was gonna put a circuit breaker or fuse

570
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: on the hot wire into the computer or I don't

571
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: know whether that would damage it, or I was gonna

572
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: just take the the injector off and put the carburetor

573
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: on with that reduces the value of the whole thing, right, Yeah,

574
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: And I get it. Um, you know the problem here

575
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: is that and it sounds like you've got a fault

576
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: in the wiring harness or a component. So you really

577
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: have to go through and do a resistance check on

578
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: all the solnoids and actuators tied into that computer. And

579
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: if memory serves me right, anything anything other than twenty

580
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: ohms was the It was a twenty or ten olms.

581
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: There's a number. There's a spec somewhere. We're going back

582
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: forty or fifty years, but there's a very specific number

583
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: that I believe it was twenty olms. It can't be

584
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: more than it can't be less than twenty olms. Was

585
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: a number, um, and we're looking for that to be

586
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: as a constant. And other than that, that'll take out

587
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: the PCM. If I remember correctly what was common. This

588
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: has a two or four wire plug at the trans

589
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: controller going into the transmission for the torque converter. Four

590
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: four unplugged the torque converter. See if the problem goes away,

591
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: don't drive the car, just let the car sit there

592
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: and ill. If you get a computer and you want

593
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: to try something, UM, you could also olm the torque

594
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: converter solenoid which is inside the trans because if I

595
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: recall correctly, they had a very high failure rate, and

596
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: they would cause exactly what you're describing to me to happen.

597
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: Can you tell me where it is? Number? If it's

598
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: listed replacement number four computer? It is no, sir, that

599
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you, But I can tell you that

600
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: the torqu converter solenoid, the one I'd be concerned about,

601
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: is inside the trans That's always good news, right, Yeah,

602
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: well it's always it's always the hardest place. Listen. Look

603
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: at it this way. If you took the car off

604
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: the road, you'd make Congresswoman Cortes from New York very

605
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: happy because be one less fossil fuel vehicle polluting the planet. Um.

606
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: Of course it wouldn't make me happy, but at least

607
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: we make her happy for once. So UM trying. Yeah, listen,

608
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: do what you can, brother, and if you need more help,

609
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: you call us back. All right, good luck to you.

610
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: Let's let's go over to Tom in Delaware sixteen Toyota

611
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: four Runner and some questions about taking care of the windows. Tom,

612
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: you're out the car, doctor, what's going on? Yeah, I'm

613
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,479
Speaker 1: just trying to find the best solution for getting acid

614
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: rain off the windows. Um, what are you worried about? Tom?

615
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: And I'm saying that seriously just cosmetic. Um, I lived

616
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: near the beach. Okay, so you're really asking how do

617
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: you take care of the glass, And I'm not so

618
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: worried about the glass alone. I always worry about I

619
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: always just worry about the overall vehicle because that acid

620
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: rain gets on the paint. I A lot of people

621
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: don't agree with me. I waxed my window. Is my

622
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: side windows anyway, I will wax the side windows of

623
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: a vehicle. I'll just like I waxed the vehicle itself,

624
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: and you know, I'll use I'll use just good quality wax,

625
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: something from McGuire's or you know, there's a couple of

626
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: the choices out there, but I like a lot of

627
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: the McGuire's product where I'll just do spray on wax

628
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: or just a light coating of wax. I'll wax the

629
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: windows and just you know, and that's what cleans it

630
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: up and keeps it clean for me. So all right, sorry,

631
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: I'll give that a shot. All right, let me know

632
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: how that works for you, and keep us posted. Good

633
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: luck to get down there in Delaware. I'm run any

634
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: in the car. Doctor. We're back right after this all right,

635
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: let's get into it, run in any of the car. DOCU.

636
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: Let's go to Matt and Florida. Matt, we've got three minutes.

637
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: What's going on? Brother? Uh? Two thousand seven A three fifty?

638
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: I want it used? Um then bought a used travel

639
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: by control off eBay. Fucking play and it doesn't seem

640
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: to work. Okay, I can. I can feel. I can

641
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: feel a trailer talk a little bit, so I hit

642
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: the brakes. I can. I can feel it if if

643
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: the trailer is emptying and I'm just sitting there along

644
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: the park and put it and drive along the parking lot,

645
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: I can just I can feel resistance. So don't you

646
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: bought that? You bought the trailer break controller used on eBay? Yes, okay,

647
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: the vehicle was equipped with it, or you added this

648
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: as the installed kit. The vehicle is wired and ready

649
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: for it. Okay, it goes you know, you know, you

650
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: just plug you pull the harns out and plug it in.

651
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: Your got you. But the instrument cluster displays d B

652
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: t BC fault. Yes when it's okay? So you got

653
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: a pencil and paper, yes, all right. It wouldn't be

654
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: uncommon to have a bad TBC controller. So saying that,

655
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: all right, there's some specific things I want you to check.

656
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: Central junction box, the one on to the dashboard. All right,

657
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: take a look at take a look at fuses eighteen

658
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: to twenty amp. Fuse one oh one it's a thirty amp.

659
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: Fuse twenty it's a fifteen amp. And fuse twenty eight

660
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: it's a ten amp. You need me to go through

661
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: that again. Eighteen is one, o one is thirty and

662
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: eight is ten. All right. Now we're obviously we're looking

663
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: for a blown fuse, but we're also looking for missing

664
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: or poorly connected fuses. When I say poorly connected, FORD

665
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: has some Ford has some issues where the fuses will

666
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: have a little pit or burn marks in them. They

667
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: look they look burnt. Higher high resistance. It affects the

668
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: operation of the circuit a lot of times the component

669
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: won't work. Change those fuses, clean the terminals in the box.

670
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: All right, Then you've got to go through There are

671
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: three power leads going up to the TBC module. You

672
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: can have to get an a wiring diagram. Check those.

673
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: If those check good and the fuses check good, logically

674
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: you've got a bad TVC module, go through it. Call

675
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: me back. I'll run an anting of the car doctor,

676
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
