1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Ron and An I like to look at cars as

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: they progress. I'm not sure if it's a positive progression.

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: They just changed change. Yes, it's gonna have to see

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: a different man down may changed me black case the

5
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: Car Doctor. We are seeing that change, and the problem

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: is that change is happening so fast we are having

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: a hard time getting the tools we need to stay consistent.

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of Ron and Anian the

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, since this is where car owners the world

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,199

Speaker 1: you need me during the week, it's Ron at Car

33
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: Doctor Show dot com. Sometimes the repairs are not what

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: they seem. Sometimes I feel like Gibbs from n C

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: I S. I have to tell you because the show goes.

36
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen an n C I S. The

37
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: show starts off and you're going in this direction, and

38
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: then at the last minute it always seems to circle back.

39
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: The last eight minutes or so, I've noticed that it

40
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: circles back and you kind of go in a completely

41
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: different direction and the the answer has just come out

42
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: of left field. Sometimes that feels like where I'm at,

43
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: like a mountain left field. People always told me I

44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: was outstanding in the field. I just didn't realize it

45
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: was left field. Two thousand seven, Chevy Tahoe came into

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: the shop and it was a vehicle from another shop.

47
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: The problem they had was it wouldn't come out of

48
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: four wheel drive low and it was just stuck in

49
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: four wheel drive low. That's the way the vehicle got

50
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: dropped off from from their customer to their shop. They

51
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: looked at it, they decided that it needed a transfer

52
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: case shift module, which is the piece under the dashboard,

53
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: and after installing it, they found out that they couldn't

54
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: talk to it because it needed to be flashed, meaning

55
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: it needed software installed. And that's where I came in. Now,

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: anytime I get involved in a vehicle from another shop,

57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, there's a there's a balance here, there's a

58
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: there's a bit of dollars and cents. I'm only there

59
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: to flash it. I'm not there to diagnose it. But

60
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: I also really want to look for answers, because that's

61
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: really what I like doing. I just want to know

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: what made a tick, how did it get to this point,

63
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: what broke, and how can we fix it? So I

64
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: always go a little bit above and beyond, and in

65
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: the case of this, in the case of this Tahoe.

66
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: Instead of just flashing it, I went in with a

67
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: scan tool and I looked and I verified, yep, I

68
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: can't talk to the old module. The old module was

69
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: clearly bad. And I went through powers and grounds and

70
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: they were there. It should have been alive, it should

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: have been on the data bus, plugged in a new

72
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: module and flashed it. As soon as I flashed the

73
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: old module, I'm sorry. As soon as I flashed the

74
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: new module, not a problem. I could talk to it.

75
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: Scan tools saw it there, recognized it, went through the

76
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: rest of the learned process, and it was still stuck

77
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: in four wheel drive low. So I kind of went

78
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: back to the beginning. I had a Gibbs moment. I

79
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: called in the Nova, I called in Katie, I called

80
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: in McGee, and I sat everybody down and I said, okay,

81
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: let's go over this from the beginning. Let's just break

82
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: it down into bite sized pieces. And what I figured

83
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: out was, yeah, I proved the transfer case module was bad.

84
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: I just didn't know about the rest of the system.

85
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: So I started looking at the rest of it, and

86
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: I came to the conclusion the switch worked, it had

87
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: proper power. Everything else on that circuit should work. It's

88
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: one of two things. Either the transfer case itself was

89
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: stuck mechanically stuck and if it was the encoder module,

90
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: or I'm sorry, the encoder motor was bad. Meaning again,

91
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: because this is America and we just want to drive

92
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: cars by shifting and pushing buttons. You heard my rent

93
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: last week about doing four wheel drive hubs, Well you

94
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: know now it's we just have to be able to

95
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: push a button and put the car into four wheel drive,

96
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: and it's done electronically. So it was a case of

97
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: either the transfer case was stuck in four wheel drive,

98
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 1: in the encoder motor was bad and it wouldn't report it.

99
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: Where we had a bad encoder motor the shift motor

100
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: on the transfer case, gave it back to the shop,

101
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: told them what we had done, told him what I

102
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: thought they should do, and they got back to me,

103
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: and sure enough, a couple of days later, I found

104
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: out that encoder motor was bad, and it made me

105
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: realize that, yeah, you know what, there's no rule that says,

106
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: and I haven't said this in a while, there's no

107
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: rule that says, just one thing goes bad on a

108
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,559
Speaker 1: car and causes the car not to work. Properly, because

109
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: a lot of times it's it's more than one thing.

110
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: And here is a classic example of it. The encoder

111
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: motor shorted failed, took out the transfer case module and

112
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: it should have been a case changed one first then

113
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: the other, but because the first one didn't come up

114
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: on the data bus, that's where they went first. It's

115
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: funny how some repairs turn out. But then again, it's

116
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: a lot like n C I S. It's funny how

117
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: the show ends. Sometimes you're never quite sure how they

118
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: get to the ending. So the point of this is

119
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: everything is not what it appears. And when you're stuck

120
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: on a diagnosis, always go back through your note make

121
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: sure you take notes, and make sure you write everything

122
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: down because that's the only way you're gonna learn, and

123
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: that's the only way you're gonna fix cars. Hello and

124
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: welcome Roninny in the Car Doctor here zero zero another

125
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: busy hour. The Car Doctor is coming up. We've got

126
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: Mike zip zip All Electronics here in New Jersey is

127
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: gonna be stopping by. We haven't talked to Mike in

128
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: a while. I'm looking forward to it. He's gonna be

129
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: explaining what's new. He's just back from the Sema show.

130
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: Oh about a month ago, three or four weeks ago,

131
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk to Mike about what's new out

132
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: there for car electronics, audio, GPS, video, remote start, um,

133
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: make the car sprout wings and fly. I'm sure that's

134
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: probably in the conversation, if not today, maybe in a

135
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: couple of years, because it seems like we can do

136
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: anything in the car but drive it down the road

137
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: with two hands on the wheel. So we're gonna be

138
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: talking to Mike about that in a very little bit.

139
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: But right now, let's kick the garage doors open as

140
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: fast as we can and get over to Helen in Denver, Colorado,

141
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: two thousand seven Volvo S sixty with some problems. Yes, Helen,

142
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: you're on with the car doctor. How can I help? Hi?

143
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: Thank you for answering my car. You're well, mum. My

144
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: car feels as if though I'm driving a stick shift.

145
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: Not all the time. It's when it's warm. I'll be

146
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: driving and all of a sudden it feels as it

147
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: though it's dragging, and then it'll like shoot off again.

148
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: So are you saying if you were driving down the

149
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: road at thirty an hour and the sun was shining

150
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: and all was good. All of a sudden, the car

151
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: just accelerates on its owner. It feels like you have

152
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: to push down harder on the gas pedal to get

153
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: at to go anywhere. No accelerating on its own, and

154
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be warm outside vehicle. Any dash

155
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: lights on? No, no service required lights come on? Okay

156
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: when you start the car. One of the things I

157
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: want you to just double check before we have this

158
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: conversation is when you start at the car, turned the

159
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: key to the on position, but don't start it, and

160
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: look for the check it look for the check engine

161
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: light or the service engine soon light. Make sure make

162
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: sure that light lights up and then goes out. Okay,

163
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: check that you know. And that's always important because I've

164
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: had people tell me, well, the car has no dash

165
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: lights on, and then we come to find the bull

166
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: burned out and the car has okay. So the first

167
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: thing I'm gonna tell you is part of any diagnosis,

168
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: what someone needs to do is still is still scan

169
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: the car for fault codes, all right, because just because

170
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: the lights not on yet, there may be some information

171
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: about to turn the light on, and we call those

172
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: pending codes. Something's about to happen, so it might help

173
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: in the diagnosis. The second thing someone needs to do,

174
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: is this repeatable kind of mechanic reproduces if you were

175
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: to drive it? Or is it very random? It seems

176
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: like it's it's repeatable but mostly random. When I took

177
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: it to votech it didn't do it for him. It

178
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: has gotten it and drove away. Did it okay? Did

179
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: he say anything about what he did? Did he scan it?

180
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: Did he look at fuel trims? Did he smoked the intake?

181
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: How did he approach it? Did he say anything? He

182
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: checks the transmission fluid and it was not red. It

183
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: was pretty dark, but not real dark. He said, I

184
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: need to get a transmission flush. Okay. See my problem

185
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: is from your description, Helen, I'm thinking you're describing an

186
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: engine fault, not a transmission fault. And what's common on

187
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: Volvo is they have a bunch of problems as they

188
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: age with the air intake system. The clamps get loose,

189
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: they pick up, they pick up intermittent vacuum leaks, and

190
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: that will skew mass airflow senor readings all over the

191
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: place and do just what you're describing. So I would

192
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: ask him to maybe look at the air induction system

193
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: as a possible solution, and also tell them to take

194
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: a look at there's there's a denominator inside cars, short

195
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: term and long term fuel trim. Short term fuel trim,

196
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: short term fuel trim is what's happening right now. You

197
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: and I are having this conversation. This is short term. Well,

198
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: you and I said two minutes ago, that's history. That's

199
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: long term, all right, but long term fuel trim. If

200
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: long term fuel trim is skewed, if it's out of

201
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: range but not enough to set on a fault code

202
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: yet but still out of range, it gives us an

203
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: indication of where to possibly look that is this a

204
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: fuel trim or a mixture issue? All right? Because you know,

205
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: unintended acceleration on one of these it's picking up in

206
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: Richmond somewhere, or this is a drive by wire car.

207
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: There's no mechanical connection to the throttle. Something's causing that

208
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: throttle to pick up on its own, all right. So

209
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: we've got to start that. We've got to start to

210
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a you know, we've got

211
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: to be a little bit of a criminal investigator here,

212
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: got to be a detective. Gotta start looking for things

213
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: that we don't normally see in plain sight. All right,

214
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: is it bad to get a transmission flush? No? The

215
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: danger here is depending upon how many miles are on it,

216
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: you may aggravate the trans and create another issue. And

217
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: that's always possible. But my argument for doing it is

218
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: because I'm a fan of doing it even when it's dirty,

219
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: is if the trans is going to be a problem,

220
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't you rather know about it now when you expect it,

221
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: rather than not do it and it fails in five

222
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: months when you've forgotten about it and you're somewhere out

223
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: of state from home. You know, if we're gonna have

224
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: the problem, let's have the problem now and deal with

225
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: it head on right right? Okay? Okay, So should trade

226
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: it in? Wow, that's here's what you gotta do. How

227
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: many miles are on the car? Okay? So if you

228
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: have to put a trans in the car and it

229
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: was three grand there, would you do it? Right? Would you? Okay?

230
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: Trade it in? Problem solved. It's it's that easy. It's

231
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: that easy. Hunt if you were in New Jersey, I'll

232
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: take your car shop and it never takes me longer

233
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: than twenty minutes. So we're in and out all right,

234
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 1: very much. You're very welcome, Hell, and you have a

Speaker 1: call you back and get you in queue so we

242
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: can talk to you the following week. Let's get over

243
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: and talk to Harold up there in Massachusetts with some

244
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: concerns he's experiencing with his new Chrysler and putting gas

245
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: in the tank. That's probably pretty important. Harold. Welcome to

246
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor, sir. What's going on up there? Thank

247
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: you for having me. I appreciate it. You're welcome. Um.

248
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,479
Speaker 1: I have a two thousand, fifteen Dodge Durango and I've

249
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: been leasing it for the last two months. And we

250
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: went to a local gas station that I hadn't been

251
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: to before with that car, and we could not build

252
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: it up. And UH, after number of calls, went back

253
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: to went to the dealership right away, and UH found

254
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: out that they decided to replace the killer section of

255
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: the gas tank and I went back there to kill

256
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: it up and it wouldn't work. I couldn't get gas

257
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: in it at all. It wouldn't it wouldn't open up

258
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: the automatic shelf. That's come out one of those capitalist killers, right, yeah,

259
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: And that's a lot of cars are going to the capitalists.

260
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: Phil sister Sports had it for years and others are

261
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: starting to follow, Chrysler among them. So what was their

262
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: final solution? Are they saying, Well, well, they didn't they

263
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: didn't have a solution. I end up calling Chrysler, filed

264
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: the complaint men, had an appointment with a regional manager,

265
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: and my daughter said, maybe the nozzles are different size,

266
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: and I went to a different gas station and I

267
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: was able to get the the nozzle into the car.

268
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: I end up meeting the managers at the dealership and uh,

269
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: they said they had never heard of this problem before.

270
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: But when I googled the problem and found out that

271
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: board has had some problems in Mercedes has had some problems,

272
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: and um, I decided to do some of my own investigation,

273
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it turns out at I guess

274
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts where the federal government's now trying to go

275
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: back to Stage one nozzles, and I guess originally the

276
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: original gas nozzles were Stage one, where they were just

277
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: basic nozzles you put in the gas tank. And with

278
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: the I guess years a few years ago, they came

279
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: up with Stage two, with the vapor recovery system, and

280
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: with the new Flaplist or Campist gas tanks, they're going

281
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: back to the Stage one. I've found out in Massachusetts

282
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: that not all gas stations are required to go back

283
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: to the Stage one nozzles until Novounder of two thousand seventeen.

284
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: And one of the guys that I had spoken to

285
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: I called, I called everybody the Department of Fire Safety Services,

286
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: Division of Standards, and I got this guy, Jeff Gifford

287
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: at the e p A in Massachusetts, and we found

288
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: out that some Stage two nozzles, the one made by Gilbarco,

289
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: will not fit the Dodge of chrysler Um Capitist gas tanks.

290
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: Now this can't only this is only a Massachusetts thing,

291
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, Harolder is no he said, he said, Connecticut

292
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: is all compliant, that everybody in Connecticut has to be

293
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: Stage one. But he says in New England, New Hampshire

294
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: were the Island. He doesn't know about New York. He says,

295
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: those they're not all compliance and all not all going

296
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: back to stage one yet. So what happens if you

297
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: come to New Jersey you can't put gas in the car.

298
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: You may not if you're if you get a Gilbarco

299
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: stage to gas tank, guess nozzle, it won't sail. I

300
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: can I can see how they're gonna make their mileage claims.

301
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: It will be on the back of a tow truck

302
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: car gets a hunter miles to the gallon. Yeah, deal.

303
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: Should told me to go back and go home and

304
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: come back in a couple of days, and said, I

305
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: don't have enough gas to do that. Give me a

306
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: loan of car. And I told chryst my my wife,

307
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: my daughter goes to college far away. We use the

308
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: car to go back and forth. My wife usually drives

309
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: the car regularly. She says, if we're out of state,

310
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: what happens. We can't be driving back eleven o'clock at

311
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: night at midnight and we want don't want to be

312
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: stuck in the rest area where we can't get gas. Well,

313
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: you need you need the Chrystal Chrysler optional accessory for

314
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: your gas tank it's the long funnel and the five

315
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: gallon pail. They're going to be issuing those two people

316
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: and strapping them to the roof, you know. And it's

317
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: just and I don't really have a solution for your Harold.

318
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: I was reading your email, and that's I said to Harry,

319
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: I want to talk to this gentleman um. You know,

320
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: I'd be curious if anybody else out there is having

321
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: this problem, if anybody else has a Chrysler product or

322
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: any product that they can't get. This is the physical

323
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: nozzle won't fit the neck right, Yes, And I found

324
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: out doing some research and actually I had to take

325
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: out my six underpage owners manual. There is a spare

326
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: funnel tied into the UH spare tire accessories. And I

327
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: don't like where this is going. That's only for Jerry jugs.

328
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: It won't it won't work well with I tried it

329
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: with a with a gas station nozzle. Right, remember when

330
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: cars were simple. You pull in ding ding, The guy

331
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: came over, he watched your windows, checked the oil did,

332
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: the nozzle went in. He took the cap off, the

333
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: nozzle came out, the cap went on. You know, I

334
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: don't get it. It seems like we're slowly shooting ourselves

335
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: in the foot. Harold, I'll tell you what I just um,

336
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: if anybody calls in, if we get any emails, if

337
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,159

Speaker 1: has a Chrysler product or any product their particular state,

339
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: they can't get the gas nozzle to physically go in

340
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: the neck. I wanted to contact me, but Harold, can

Speaker 1: out to Mike for some time. Michael, are you there, sir,

369
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: Same same to you, baby. You know you're the guy

370
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: I always think of, Uh you know when people ask

371
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: me about putting remote starts and vehicles, and uh, you

372
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: know how I frown upon it because there aren't many

373
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: people I think do the job right except for you.

374
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: I think you're the only guy in the country. Um.

375
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: You know I've seen your work. Everything soldered, nice, connected, nice,

376
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: you know it's it's it's done right, and that's what

377
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: led us to you so many years ago. And uh,

378
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, I just want to express that to you that.

379
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: Um I also think of you with that Volvot still

380
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: have the Volvo. I finally sold my Vobo our wagon

381
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: if I miss it. I'm a Nissan man now, but

382
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: it's not as exciting. Well, but I remember the Volvo.

383
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: You liked it because you could change stereos every other week.

384
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: You probably just ran out of places to put new speaker,

385
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: so you decided to get a new vehicle and start

386
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: all over again. We do make a lot of holes

387
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: in the car. Yeah, yeah, I know that. Um, you know,

388
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: the car kind of looked like Swiss cheese after a while,

389
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: so it was time to move on to something. Well

390
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: let's you know, yeah, I know that. I you know,

391
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure writing with you I would need ear muffs, um,

392
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: because there's only so much I can listen to. So listen,

393
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 1: it's been a while. Where do we start? You were

394
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: out at you were out at apex Seema, I'm sure

395
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: are You're out at the electronic show beforehand? Um, what's what?

396
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: What caught your attention this year at the trade shows. Well,

397
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: it seems they're doing a lot of this, uh you know,

398
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: the wrapping of the cars in front of them, with

399
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: the putting those clear bras on the front of a

400
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: lot of that going on, and you know, protect the

401
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: paint things like a lot of chinking going on, stuff

402
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: like that, right right? Is that is that something you're

403
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: gonna start to get into, do you think? Or that's

404
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: we are into it now? We are. We've been doing

405
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: quite a bit of that. We uh, we've grown. We

406
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: also do a lot of leather now we'd be so

407
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: get buy a car with a base ultimate state it

408
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: doesn't have leather in it, we can put leather in it.

409
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: If you have a car doesn't have a sun roof,

410
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: and then we can put a sunset. We cut holes

411
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: in the roof and put the whole new headliner. And

412
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: it's pretty interesting thing to put a motor up there. Now,

413
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: how do you you know, Mike, It's it's not like

414
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: the old days. You want to put a stereo in

415
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: a car. Thirty years ago, there was you know, power

416
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: ground for speaker wires. You were done. Now you're just

417
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: dealing with so much more and I've got to think

418
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: your installers are at the very least going to school.

419
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: They've got to be taking classes on where to connect,

420
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: on what to connect to, at least from the manufacturers,

421
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: if not the the audio people, right, the manufacturers of

422
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: the stereo systems. Yeah, well the cars are. They said,

423
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: there's just big computers today. So we put something in it,

424
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: the car knows it and reacts differently. So you know,

425
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: we've got to be careful what we connect on to,

426
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: how we get power. A lot of cars don't even

427
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: run in twelve votes. They run un list voltage and

428
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: things like that. Interesting. What's the craziest thing you see

429
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: going into cars this year? Electronic was m hmm, I

430
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: got him, look at that, huh. I finally stopped him

431
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: in his trail. But it's never crazy because we've get

432
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: we've we've done that. We just had a guy with

433
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: a sprinter face. Sprinter took it all all apart, put

434
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: stadium seating in it. Two TV has a satellite that

435
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: goes on the roof, and you know he can it's

436
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: called slingbox, so he can take his his iPad plugging

437
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: into the car and watch the TV at his house.

438
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: Say that again women say that again, he can he

439
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: can do what he can wify into his car in

440
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: a hot spot. And then it's called sling boxes where

441
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: you can watch your your TV at your house from

442
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: your cell phone or from your iPad. So so the

443
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: the sprinter is a is a hot spot and he

444
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: just plugged into his house and he's watching his TV

445
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: cable box wherever he is. Yeah, excellent, I mean unbelievable cool.

446
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: And you know what else they're doing it and you

447
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: can do that in the new suburban now you know

448
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: they're the new GM has a is already hotspot so

449
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: that you can just sit there with an ie, with

450
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: an iPad or your your car phone, think up and

451
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: watch cable You know it pretty interesting, that's crazy. Um,

452
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: that's that's really kind of neat. So it's it's you're

453
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: taking you're taking your home TV with you wherever you go.

454
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: And you know, and you know what, also, I'm just

455
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: thinking about that. I think I wrote down that. You

456
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: Now it's all about Apple car Play and Android Auto

457
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: where you can take your phone. So cars have navigations.

458
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: Now now you're not gonna need a navigation anymore because

459
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: now your phone navigation will come up on the screen

460
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: in your car. Your phone navigation will come up on

461
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: the screen in your car. How do they do on

462
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: your phone? How do they do that? Mike? They're they're they're, well,

463
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: what they're doing is just releasing the data so it

464
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: can you can see it now before you couldn't see it,

465
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: or the phone, your radio wouldn't accept that kind of

466
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: video input, you know, from your from your device that

467
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: you're using. And that's what's happening. Wow. Wow, Do you

468
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: ever just instill stereos anymore? Is that just pass a

469
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: you know what. I'm an old car guy just like

Speaker 1: person out there. And believe me, I mean I still

475
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: believe in what I do. You know, the audio enhancements

476
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: you can do to some cars make it. Oh you're

477
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: you're the most passionate guy I know about audios and

478
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: electronics and cars. I mean, you're the guy. Um are

479
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: you still doing the cars for the guys overseas? Uh?

480
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: We uh? Every once in a while. Yeah. You see,

481
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: we get a lot of African importers who come in

482
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: and they'll they'll take a range rover and all kind

483
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: of crazy stuff on him and then you chip them

484
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: back over there, you know, and we see a lot

485
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: of that. So for the listener out there, that's you know,

486
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: it's the holidays. They want to go out and buy

487
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: a nice they've got two fifty dollars suspend on a stereo.

488
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: What are they buying, Well, they're buying something that's you know,

489
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 1: it's a m FM, it's c D, it's a bluetooth,

490
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: so you can talk and drive. You can bluetooth your

491
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: music from your phone into the radio. See any kind

492
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: of like Again, it always goes back to your phone.

493
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: It seems like the whole technology going back to what

494
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: device you have on your body. They still make radios

495
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: with c DS in them. That makes some that do

496
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: and then they have things called necklace radio. And the

497
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: problem we're having is so you get an older customers

498
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: buying a new Cadillac. Cadillac comes with radios with no

499
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: CD players and them. So now the customer buys the

500
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: car and he goes, where's the TV player? And there's

501
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: no option. So you know, an older customers not gonna

502
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: want to go on iTunes and start download of music.

503
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: They don't, you know, they barely can turn on the phone. Yeah,

504
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: so what do they do? Uh, they're a little bit

505
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: out of luck. I gotta tell you, you know, franpic

506
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: Cardula going to the mind. We gotta put a CD

507
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: in this car. This guy is losing his mind, as

508
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: that was in Frank Sinatra today. So and that's where

509
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: it's technology comes around and in more problems in shapes

510
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: and forms than just the car doesn't run right and

511
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: turns on a check engine light right, it comes it

512
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: comes up. And the cars are very temperamental. Like if

513
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: you take a German like a Volkswagen or an Alley,

514
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: you really can't even touch them because as soon as

515
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: you touch the car, the car knows that you're in it.

516
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: When the you're going for service, you can't They won't

517
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: even work on the car because they'll see something foreign

518
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: any So, so how do you get around it? You

519
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: don't touch your car, really, so you've had an you

520
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: have to be honest with the customers. They listen, if

521
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: I touch your car, you're gonna have a problem with

522
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: your manufacturer, even if there's nothing wrong with the car,

523
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna see something in it and they're not gonna

524
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: want that. So do you think the day is coming

525
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: when the manufacturers are gonna, for lack of a better term,

526
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: tune out the audio installers like you guys and prevent

527
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: you from working on the cars. Yeah, I think it's

528
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: going that way. I think there's always gonna be a

529
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: passionate customer want it their way, not their way, you know. Well,

530
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: And I think in time the customers gonna say to

531
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: the manufacturer, listen, give me what I want, or I'm

532
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: finding a different car. Well, you know, it's gonna be interesting.

533
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm thinking we're gonna be listening to your radio show

534
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: one day and I'm going to see what these people

535
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: say who have the digital dashboards that don't work anymore,

536
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: how they're going to fix those cars. That's not going

537
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 1: to be a simple thing. Well, it's you know what

538
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: the problem I see, Mike is you look at all

539
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: the electronics going into the car, whether it's audio or

540
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: or or you know something navigation or just digital part

541
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: of the car itself. The technology it takes to keep

542
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: all that information relevant and around, you know, a car,

543
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 1: after a car seven years old, throw everything out. It's

544
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: all junk. They don't want to keep track of it.

545
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: It's too hard to keep track of the new stuff.

546
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: We had a gentleman on a little bit later, earlier

547
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: in the hour. He said he had to read his

548
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: owner's manual. It was six d pages. Mike. Maybe you know, Mike,

549
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: maybe that's something you and I can get into. We

550
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: could take the owners manuals, convert them into audio, and

551
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: people could listen to them while they sleep or drive,

552
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: so they just absorb it by us. Most how to

553
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: work car right, sublitally, how to work your car. We

554
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: can talk about it, Mike. If the listeners are looking

555
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: for you or for more information about you and your

556

Speaker 1: take very good care. Thank you. I'm running any and

562
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: the car Doctor. We are back right after this. Welcome

563
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: back any of the car Doctor, and I want to

564
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: thank once again Mike zippers taking the time to stop

565
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: by and talk to us. Cars have become solotronic that

566
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: the relationship you have with your mechanic is going to

567
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: be critical. That you're more than just a number. You've

568
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:08,959
Speaker 1: got to be a name, and they've got to know

569
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: the car. They've got to know the pluses or minuses

570
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: of what they can and can't do. Yeah, Tom, you

571
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: wanted to say something. I was gonna say just to

572
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: verify what Mike was saying. My old car that I

573
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: gave to my daughter, I put back to factory. But

574
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: you remember when I brought it into our auto and

575
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: you'd work on the thing, used to see all kinds

576
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: of errors on it. That's because I had the dashboard

577
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: pulled apart, that's right back together. I had custom radios

578
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: in it and everything else, you know, for what I

579
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: do for a living. And with the new vehicle I bought,

580
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: you know, a brand new Escape, I can't get an

581
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: aftermarket radio for it. And I could not justify the

582
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: five thousand dollar upgrade to the Titanium package just so

583
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: I could have that HD radio for their clients. I

584
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: carry my radio around with me now and unfortunately, the

585
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: the car, every component is so integral upon every other component.

586
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: That yeah, you're right, um, And I'll tell you who

587
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: started that way back when. My earliest memory of components

588
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: being integral and being dependent upon others the cars where

589
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: we saw the biggest problem. I hate to say it

590
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: was Volkswagen. Not that I want to pick on Volkswagen

591
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: anymore than they've already been picked on because they've become

592
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: a dark board and they've made it very easy. But uh,

593
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, going back fifteen years, if you had a

594
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: Volkswagen with an aftermarket radio, it would cause all sorts

595
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: of drive ability and running issues and difficulty in scanning

596
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: the car. Oh, I bet, because they probably put some

597
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: of the processing power into that radio and everything was

598
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: routed through the radio. I I mean I was amazed

599
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: looking at the factory scan tool that you're at your place,

600
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: at the amount of data you get out of this car.

601
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it was telling me it couldn't see the

602
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: the radio display, which was true because with the aftermarket radio,

603
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: that connection wasn't there anymore. And it was like, really,

604
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: It's the best example I can give to people is that.

605
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: Imagine an office building with five offices in it, and

606
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: every fourth, fifth, tenth, twelve. Every end them office, they

607
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: take the telephone out of the wall, and now you

608
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,239
Speaker 1: can't communicate this way or that way those you can

609
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: only go so far and then after that your loss.

610
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, it's it's it's gonna be interesting to

611
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: see how this works out in the future. Let's get

612
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: over to the phone, just's cover and talk to Jerry

613
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: up there in Yorktown Heights, two thousand four, Jeap Branch, Cherokee. Jerry,

614
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the car doctor, sir. It's been a while.

615
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: How are you good? Good? How are you doing? Thanks

616
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: for taking my call. You're very welcome. What's going on here?

617
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: So I got up and running great ever since, you know,

618
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: I Broughts got into it. But last week and um,

619
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: it's binding up. When I turned to the right, okay,

620
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: only to the right, Jerry, only to the right. And

621
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: you know, if i'm driving, it's a little bit better

622
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: when I'm in. When i'm park that's when I can't

623
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: really turn it that well. Okay. Probably the issue here

624
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: is the steering gear itself. And and here's the rub.

625
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: There was a very early recall, very early going back

626
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: to two thousand three, and there wasn't a lot of

627
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: these vehicles. It was like three hundred of them or

628
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: something that had problems with the steering. Year. I don't

629
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: think this vehicle is applicable. I don't think it's applicable

630
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: to this vehicle any longer. But before you go anywhere else,

631
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: I would just run it past the dealer, ask him

632
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: to run the vn UM I can. A matter of fact,

633
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: it was. It was like a Ford transmission to it

634
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: wasn't It was C twelve recall number C twelve, and

635
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: I can go back and find it if I have to.

636
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: But there was a recall that came out twelve years

637
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: ago that talked about it. It It was Recall C twelve

638
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: Charlie twelve, and it was for a steering issue with

639
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: that vehicle. So you may find out that that's under

640
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: recall notice and somehow it escaped you. Probably not. But

641
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: before before you go spending money, let's let's just make

642
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: sure you're not entitled to something that you can't get.

643
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: All right, Um, what I took two is I jacked

644
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: it up and uh, I'll float it turns fine, okay.

645
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: And if you jack it up and start it, and

646
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: obviously be careful of this because you don't want to

647
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: fall off the jack. If you know things are running,

648
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: if you jack it up and start it, does the

649
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: wheel jerk left or right? Nold's pretty and everything seemed.

650
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: What's what's very common is the box itself, and what

651
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: someone needs to do is do a pressure test on

652
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: the pump. Well, we can have a conversation like this.

653
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: They need to do a pressure test on the pump.

654
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: The pump should put out about s I and as

655
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: long as it matches that, put a gear in it

656
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: and make sure there's no binding in any of the linkage. However,

657
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: on an eleven year old vehicle with a hundred fifty

658
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: thousand miles on it, if the box has failed at

659
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,719
Speaker 1: that point, you're gonna think about doing a pump anyway,

660
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: because there's gonna be grit and contaminant in it. You're

661
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: gonna put a fresh box in it with an old

662
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: pump um, you're gonna contaminate it. And now you've got

663
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: a problem there as well. So first things first, get

664
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: out to the dealer, let him run the vent. Give

665
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: us a call again, Jerry. If you need more information,

666
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: we can kind of take it from there. And if

667
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: we don't talk to you, my best to you and yours, uh,

668
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, happy holidays and all that sort of good stuff.

669
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: F zero zero zero. The car doctor is coming back

670
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: right after this day. Hey, welcome back right on any

671
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: of the car doctor winding things down this hour, let's

672
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: go out with a bang and knock off an email. Hey, Ron,

673
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: this is from Clifford in Kentucky. I've got a two

674
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: thousand four Chevy Suburban with a five point three leader engine.

675
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: It's got two miles on it. There's a little bit

676
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: of a ticking at start up, particularly on the right side,

677
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: the passenger side of the engine. It gets a little

678
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: quieter as it warms up, but I can still hear

679
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 1: it during the course of the day. It gets louder

680
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: sometimes during acceleration. I've had several mechanics look at it,

681
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: and they've offered me varying opinions. Most include engine teared

682
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: down and repair. What do you think? I love it.

683
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: It's an old truck, but I'm literally of spending big

684
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: bucks on it because of its age. Do you have

685
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: any cheap simple solutions? Cliff down Kentucky Way, Clifford. Yeah, listen, um,

686
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: and you know we've been talking about this for a

687
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: while as long as we don't think this is major

688
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: engine mechanical noise, you know, bearings, timing chain things like that.

689
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: Simplest thing you can do on an older high mileage engine.

690
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: Get yourself some Rizlane engine treatment, all right. We've been

691
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: talking about this quite a bit of late. Rizzlane engine

692
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: treatment will help clean out noisy lifters and valves and

693
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: remove and prevents sludge. It does all those good things.

694
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: It's a specific chemical for the job. It doesn't hurt

695
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 1: internal internal engine seals, doesn't do any damage to anything

696
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: but Rizzlane engine treatment. Uh. You know, we were talking

697
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: about this last week. They are the inventors of the

698
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: term tune up. You know, it's kind of where it

699
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: came from so many years ago, and they're still out

700
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: there in the marketplace today. And I guess the rule is,

701
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: if something works, if it If it works, don't change it,

702
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: just keep on using it. So Rizlane engine treatment and

703
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: down your way. You can find it at any one

704
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: of a number of O'Reilly oto parts. You can read

705
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: more and probably order it online right from O'Reilly Auto

706
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 1: dot com um and do it that way, and uh,

707
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 1: you know you should be good to go. Just follow

708
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: directions on the can. If that doesn't work for you,

709
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: then we'll kind of take it from there and have

710
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: another conversation. But o'reiley, Oto dot com is where you

711
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: want to be. Hey, great hour. I had a great

712
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: time talking to each and every one of you today.

713
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: I'm appreciative of the fact that you took the time

714
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: to spend it here with me, and we'll see you

715
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: again here next week or out on podcast, however you

716
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: take this radio show till then. Good mechanics aren't expensive,

717
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: they're priceless. See you
