You've seen the. 44 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 5: Price of new cars, and my gosh, everything's expensive. It 45 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 5: seems that way, it really does. And the other side 46 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 5: of that is, I think you're all broke, judging by 47 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 5: what's going on lately, the conversations I'm having with people, 48 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 5: you guys are you guys are all in a tough spot. 49 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 5: Everybody's kind of counting nickels, and I don't know if 50 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 5: that's a sign of the times, the economy, or the time. 51 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 6: Of year, or just what exactly it is. 52 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 5: But just just a bunch of stories from the shop 53 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 5: this week that just told me that, you know, dollars 54 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 5: are tight, tighter than normal. I think Teresa came in 55 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 5: with her two twenty one Kia minivan, and Teresa's a 56 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 5: regular we see you're on a pret regular basis. It's 57 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 5: a little hard for her to get into us because 58 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 5: she comes from a distance, so we may not see 59 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 5: her for one or two oil changes, but she gets 60 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 5: in there for the big stuff, and you know, her 61 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 5: backup is she goes to her local Kia dealer over 62 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 5: where she lives on that side of the state. And 63 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 5: as she puts it, she says, you know, Ron, I 64 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 5: don't trust them, but I just don't know where else 65 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 5: to go, and I can't always get to you. And 66 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 5: I understand that I do, I really do. I take 67 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 5: no offense, and I kind of think it helps because 68 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 5: I you know, to me order repairs like dating. You know, 69 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 5: I think the other guy is cuter, Eh, go ahead, 70 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 5: have a good time. And then when they come back, 71 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 5: the grass isn't always greener, and it just sort of, 72 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 5: you know, strengthens that position in a quiet solidarity kind 73 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 5: of way. So she went in for an oil change 74 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 5: because and it was more than that. Actually it was 75 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 5: the oil filter adapter housing was leaking, and they said 76 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 5: it was a major oil leak and that it needed 77 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 5: to be fixed. And by the way, you also need 78 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 5: a battery. She's got this random it won't start. It's 79 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 5: completely stone dead. And they told her, well, the batteries good, 80 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 5: and you need battery cables, and fifteen hundred dollars later, 81 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 5: you know, she could be fixed. And I, well, it's 82 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 5: kind of weird, four year old vehicle. Why do we 83 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 5: need battery cables. I didn't understand that. So she brought 84 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 5: it in. You bring it in, leave it with me 85 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 5: and let me take a look. So, you know, she 86 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 5: makes arrangements. She brings it in and I look, are 87 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 5: you supposed to be able to take the negative battery 88 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 5: cable off by hand? Without you know, just you just 89 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 5: go over your wiggling and the battery cable falls off, 90 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 5: and you know, and the positive it must be because 91 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 5: the positive cable did the same thing. So both battery 92 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 5: cables even though the nuts were tight, and it's ay 93 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 5: what they've a lot of the car companies have gone 94 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 5: to now. It's say, it's what I think of as 95 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 5: a swedged nut. As you tighten it, it pulls itself 96 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 5: together tight and locks it in. But it wasn't installed properly. 97 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 5: So I don't know how you're judging I don't know 98 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 5: how you're judging any of it. If the battery cables 99 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 5: aren't tight, if the battery cable aren't clean, you can't 100 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 5: just condemn anything. You can't run any tests. It's what 101 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 5: do we need? We need good clean contact. I told 102 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 5: Teresa the story. At the end, Billy my boss, my 103 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 5: first boss in the gas station. And Billy's gone fifteen 104 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 5: years now, you know, nineteen seventy eight. 105 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 8: Ron. 106 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 5: As you get older in this business, you're going to 107 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 5: come to some basic things that are always going to 108 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 5: have to be there. They need good tires, they need 109 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 5: good breaks, they need a good battery and a good 110 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 5: basic electrical system. And Billy had some foresight, he said, 111 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 5: I don't care how complicated things get. 112 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 6: I don't know if you could see how complicated they 113 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 6: would get. But you know, the point being. 114 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 5: That you know the basics still hold true. You've got 115 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 5: to have a foundation upon which to build the house. 116 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 5: You just can't randomly PLoP it out into the middle 117 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 5: of a field. And you can't do that with an automobile. 118 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 5: You can't run tests on anything until you fix the obvious. 119 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 5: It was really difficult fixing the battery cables, it really was. 120 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 6: I loosened up the. 121 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 5: Nuts and I found a socket that fit over the 122 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 5: outer circumference of the terminal, because I could see that 123 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 5: the battery cable wasn't pushed down all the way onto 124 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 5: the battery post, it was up a little bit. So 125 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 5: I found an older socket, a scrap socket, and I 126 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 5: put a slice in it so now it would in essence, 127 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 5: I made a tool. I made it so that it 128 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 5: would fit over the top of the terminal with the 129 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 5: cable inside, and it would just be a guide. And 130 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 5: I just took up my little, you know, I don't know, 131 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 5: six ounce ball pen and gave it a tap and 132 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 5: it pushed it down on top of the terminal. It 133 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 5: spread everything. It reshaped everything, and I was able to 134 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 5: tighten the terminal, no problem, no thing, nothing extreme, and 135 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 5: tightened right up and everything was great. And I did 136 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 5: the same thing to the positive side. 137 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 6: Of course. 138 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 5: Then when I was done, now this is a five 139 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 5: year old battery going on six I did charge the 140 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 5: battery using one of the computerized battery testers charging system 141 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 5: testers that we have in the shop, and yeah, the 142 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 5: battery came up as a failure, so it did need 143 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 5: a battery. Now I felt very confident, which you guys 144 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 5: know me right. Confidence is the name of the game. Hey, 145 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 5: your car's fixed. 146 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 6: What'd you do? 147 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 5: Well, we fixed the two terminals. We put a battery 148 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 5: in it after we charged it up to level because 149 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 5: you can't tell anything on a dead battery, and the 150 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 5: battery was marginal. The battery only had a thirty five 151 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 5: percent state of charge when we went to do testing. 152 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 6: And you know, is that because of the age. 153 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 5: Is that because the terminals were loose because the alternator 154 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 5: couldn't read it? 155 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 7: Right? 156 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 5: How critical is that connection? Well, it's critical enough that 157 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 5: Kia puts a battery charge rate sensor on the negative post, 158 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 5: so it's looking at charge rate to make a determination 159 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 5: as well. Part of the determination on how to run 160 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 5: the alternator, on how to charge the vehicle based on 161 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 5: load and condition of the battery and so forth. So 162 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 5: it's got to be pretty critical, right. 163 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 7: You know. 164 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 6: My point is, I just can mechanics look beyond their noses? 165 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 5: And you know what, I blame the mechanics in this 166 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 5: case because why couldn't somebody say to her, hey, And 167 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 5: I get why it's a lot of money. I get 168 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 5: why it would have been fifteen hundred dollars because battery 169 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 5: cables kind of wiggle, waggle and disappear into the car 170 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 5: and they're part of the wiring harness and very expensive. 171 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 5: But why can't they say, Hey, we can take a 172 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 5: shot at this, or we can go the long way 173 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 5: around the barn and do cables. Why don't they offer 174 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 5: that as an option? And I hate to talk badly 175 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 5: about my industry, but I just know there's some knuckleheads 176 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 5: in there. There's just some guys out there that just 177 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 5: I don't know, you know what, Maybe maybe because I 178 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 5: was that kid that had nothing, And I think I 179 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 5: think the better mechanics are the guys that come from nothing, 180 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 5: the guys that, you know, the farmers that fix their 181 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 5: tractors out in the middle of the field. I think 182 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 5: there's some of the smartest mechanics I've ever met, because 183 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 5: those guys look at things and they figure things out, 184 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 5: and they say, oh, let's do this. We don't have to, 185 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 5: you know, spend fifteen hundred dollars. We can do this 186 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 5: a much better way and make all of this work. 187 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 5: And I think that's just so important, especially in this 188 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 5: day and age when everybody's broke and I see this, 189 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 5: I see a lot of this. I see that we're 190 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 5: all questioning what things cost. I talked to coach Dave 191 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 5: the other day and I apologize. I have a cold today, 192 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 5: so I'm not one hundred percent. I'm cranky though, so 193 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 5: this ought to be good. I was talking to Coach 194 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 5: Dave the other day at the gym Dave where I 195 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 5: go CrossFit Bison and big shout out to everybody over there, 196 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 5: my five am family. And he's thinking about, you know, 197 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 5: does he get rid of the plow truck. 198 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 6: His plow truck is now. 199 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 5: Four years old and it's got thirty five thousand miles 200 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 5: on it, and he uses it to plow the parking 201 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 5: lot of the gym. You know, when it snows and 202 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 5: we started talking and you know, he was asking me questions, 203 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 5: you know, does he get rid of it? Does he 204 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 5: hang on to it? We kind of had the chat 205 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 5: and I said, well, I said, you know, you've got 206 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 5: to realize that the four years you've owned it, it's 207 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 5: everything's been under warranty. So if you keep it, planned 208 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 5: to keep it another four years, that vehicle is now 209 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 5: going to cost you something in the way of maintenance 210 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 5: and repairs. 211 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 6: I mean it has to. 212 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 5: It's it's it's going to be eight years old when 213 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 5: you're done with it. So at the end of the 214 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 5: eight year cycle, what does this look like? And my 215 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 5: suggestion for him is what you've always heard me say. Here, 216 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 5: go find out what that plow truck is worth. Go 217 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 5: find out what they'll give you on trade, and then 218 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 5: realize that you can sell it for more, because right now, 219 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 5: middle early January, right somebody's out there looking for an 220 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 5: inexpensive plow truck or a cheaper than new plow truck. 221 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 5: And then does it pay for you to sell it, 222 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 5: set up a new one, and it now becomes a 223 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 5: business right off? So what does it actually cost? And 224 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 5: I guess the point is as broke as we think 225 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 5: we are. And I'm trying to segue into this if 226 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 5: you allow me the courtesy, you know, as broke as 227 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 5: we think we are, what does it actually cost in 228 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 5: terms of real dollars against a tax right off on 229 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 5: a business. And that's a different conversation, and it's something 230 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 5: you have to look at, and it's just very important. 231 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 5: Vehicles as they age. I don't care what it is 232 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 5: are going to cost your money. The only way I 233 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 5: know to save money is to not own one. And 234 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 5: obviously that's not possible. You need a plow vehicle, you 235 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 5: need a vehicle to get around town. 236 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 6: You need a vehicle. Go do what you gotta do. 237 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 5: Day's first words to me, where well they know to 238 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 5: lease another vehicle because I think he leased it or 239 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 5: he owned it. But it came out to where the 240 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 5: payment on the new truck was almost one thousand dollars 241 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 5: a month. That's a lot of dope, buddy, you know, 242 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 5: and then you've got a down payment and yeah, everything 243 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 5: is getting expensive, but you have to look at it. 244 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 6: In terms of overall cost. 245 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 5: What does it really cost and what's your time worth 246 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 5: to go and deal with an older vehicle? And I'm 247 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 5: not saying to get rid of it for all of you. 248 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 5: If you're thinking of getting rid of a vehicle, you've 249 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 5: got to first you've got to know what's this vehicle worth? 250 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 6: You know, what is the payment going to be? 251 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 3: Are you? 252 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 5: Are you expecting? And here's here's the reason I brought 253 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 5: all this up. Are you expecting to have to put 254 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 5: money into that four year old vehicle somewhere around year five, 255 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 5: six and seven, because you have to. It's it's gonna 256 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 5: need more than oil changes. It's gonna need more than 257 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 5: basic filters. Year four and five is typically where cars 258 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 5: today need tires and brakes. And that's not a cheap proposition. 259 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 5: All of a sudden, you're gonna spend three grand between 260 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 5: four tires and four wheel brakes. It gets expensive. And 261 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 5: are you ready for that? And I'm not saying you 262 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 5: shouldn't be. Look, I've said this for years. The trends 263 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 5: don't deny it. Right after a vehicle is three years old, Okay, 264 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 5: it's one hundred and well, it used to be one 265 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 5: hundred and fifty a month maintenance to work on it, right, 266 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 5: but now it's so much more. Now it's probably one 267 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 5: hundred and seventy five two hundred a month. But that's 268 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 5: cheaper than Is that cheaper than the thousand dollars a 269 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 5: month payment? 270 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 6: You don't know. 271 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 5: I'll leave it here and I consider him a friend 272 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 5: of my customer. Jeff said to me recently, and I 273 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 5: think he's absolutely right. He said, Ron, the purchase price 274 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 5: of the car is only admission. That's not what the 275 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 5: car really costs. And that's where the maintenance factor comes in. 276 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 5: Food to think about. I'm ronning Ay in the car doctor. 277 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 5: I'll be back right after. 278 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: This when you get keep Ron's number handy eight five 279 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 2: five five six zero nine nine zero zero for when 280 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: you really need advice on your car. Here's Rob. 281 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 5: Hey. 282 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 6: Let's go to Wisconsin. Talk to Jan. 283 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 7: Jan. 284 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 6: You're on with the car doctor. How can I help? 285 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 7: Hi? 286 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 8: Ron Hey, very welcome. Yes, I have two thousand and 287 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 8: eight Buick Lacrosse. I have the bin number here if 288 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 8: you want it. 289 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 6: Okay, No, go ahead, tell me the story, Okay. 290 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 8: Okay, the story is. In December twenty four, some codes 291 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 8: came up P. Eleven twenty five, P. Twenty one thirty 292 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 8: eight and P. Twenty one twenty. I took up to 293 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 8: my mechanic and he said it's a tottle throttle position censor. 294 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 8: He ordered one, he said it was defective, so he 295 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 8: just cleaned up the old one. I guess that worked 296 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 8: for a while until November twenty five. Then it started again. 297 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 8: Reduced engine power light comes on. Service traction system along 298 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 8: with the engine light comes on. So this last December 299 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 8: last month, on the thirteenth, it was a very cold 300 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 8: day and I tried to go and it did it again. 301 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 8: So I had another mechanic to it to his garage 302 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 8: and he replaced the throttle position sensor. When I picked 303 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 8: up the car, it was fine for half a day, 304 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 8: then lights came out again. So I'm waiting untill. I 305 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 8: was waiting till after the first year to contact him, 306 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 8: and because he said, if I have many problems and 307 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 8: let him know, but I wanted to wait till after 308 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 8: the holidays. 309 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 5: Okay, So this is a drive by wire vehicle like 310 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 5: so many vehicles are today, meaning that there's no actual 311 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 5: mechanical connection between what we call it. You and I 312 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 5: used to call the gas pedal. It's now called an 313 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 5: accelerator pedal, all right, and the throttle body. It's all 314 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 5: done by wires, right, Yeah, So and there's redundancy built 315 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 5: and they learned this from the airline industry. There's two 316 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 5: wires per circuit or two readings because as basically what 317 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 5: they're doing is at the accelerator pedal, there's two sensors 318 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 5: and reads zero vaults with the throttle closed. One reads 319 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 5: five vaults with the throttle closed. 320 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 6: And as you as you. 321 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 5: Step on the accelerator pedal the voltage one comes down, 322 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 5: one goes up, and it has to be a corresponding 323 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 5: one for one gives this one comes up so much, 324 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 5: this one comes down so much. And there's two sensors 325 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 5: identical to that at the throttle body at the other end, 326 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 5: so they've got you know, multiple redundancy in this. If 327 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 5: they see somebody move a quarter of a vault and 328 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 5: the other guy only moves an eighth of a vault, 329 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 5: uh uh right, And they don't want you to lose 330 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 5: control of the throttle, so they put it into limp mode, 331 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 5: meaning it will be reduced power. It'll get you home, 332 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 5: it won't. 333 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 6: Leave you stranded, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 334 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, this particular problem is common on GM vehicles. 335 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 5: GMS and Ford seem to do this a lot. But 336 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 5: we're talking GM here today, So it can be it 337 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 5: can be a throttle body, it can be an accelerator 338 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 5: pedal sensor, which is actually the accelerator pedal assembly. It 339 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 5: can be the connectors, it can be the wiring harness. 340 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 5: All right, what's really common with this particular car, because 341 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 5: there's actually a bulletin out for it. You got a pencil, handy, yeah, 342 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 5: get get your mechanic to look at bulletin eight six 343 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 5: four oh forty one. 344 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 8: Baker, okay, eight six forty one Baker. 345 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 5: Right, four oh forty one Baker all right, okay, And 346 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 5: it talks about those particular codes and things to look for. 347 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 5: And one of the things that bulletin is gonna site 348 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 5: is over on the driver's side strut tower. All right, 349 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 5: So driver's side of the car, under the hood, there's 350 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 5: a gray connector connector one ten, I believe it is, okay, 351 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 5: and that's part of the wiring harness. That connector gets 352 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 5: moisture in it. And it's kind of it's kind of 353 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 5: interesting that you seem to have this problem. Is the 354 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 5: way changes first you had it first time, it was 355 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 5: October December, you said, Then December, Yeah, yep, and then 356 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 5: it was November, so it's as the weather changes. But 357 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 5: you know, he can look at that connector. It's a 358 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 5: great connector. It's it sits right behind the trans cable, 359 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 5: and you know, you pull it apart, you might find 360 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 5: corrosion in there. The bulletin talks about it, so it's 361 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 5: not an abnormal, uncommon issue. Sometimes the sensor, sometimes an 362 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 5: accelerator pedal fixes it. Sometimes the throttle body fixes it. 363 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 5: It's going to take some lapscope time and some dedicated diagnosis. 364 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 5: Of course, here's the vehicle that's seventeen years old. I've 365 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 5: got no problem. I've got no problem putting a throttle 366 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 5: body on it. You know, it's just a matter. If 367 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 5: he's got it, he's got it. You gotta have stick 368 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 5: to itiveness, if you know what I'm saying, He's got 369 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 5: to follow this through. Worst case scenario, he might end 370 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 5: up bringing some new wires from point A to B 371 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 5: to solve it if he thinks it's a wiring harness. 372 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 5: But in any case, get a look at that bulletin 373 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 5: and that connector, and I think you'll find a better 374 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 5: path for a diagnosis to repair. 375 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,719 Speaker 6: I appreciate the call. Call me if you need more, 376 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 6: jan I'm Ronning Andy and the car Doctor.

You know, every 400 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 5: time somebody brings it up, I just have to go 401 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 5: back to him for a moment. I just so many times, 402 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 5: you know, you'd have a question. You know, he was 403 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 5: the father I never had because my father passed so early. 404 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 5: And so of course I would go to my father's brother, 405 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 5: and you know, there wasn't a moment you couldn't and 406 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 5: he'd just be sitting there and he'd listen to the 407 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 5: whole story and he'd look at you and he'd say, 408 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 5: what do you mean you can't do that? You're in Ananian. 409 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 5: Of course you can do that. Just do it, just 410 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 5: put your mind to it. And it personified that whole generation, 411 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 5: that whole can do generation of what it was, you know, 412 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 5: that time period that he grew up in. And thank you. 413 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 5: I appreciate those words. It means a lot. 414 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 6: So how can I help you, toy sir? How can 415 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 6: I help you today? 416 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 7: Okay? So I have a twenty seventeen Subaru Forester with 417 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 7: a rear noise that varies with speed. So I assumed 418 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 7: it was a rear wheel bearing. Okay, But as I 419 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 7: as I get the rear wheels off the ground and 420 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 7: spin them and check they don't there's no wabble, know nothing, 421 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 7: and I can't really hear a noise. So I'm wondering 422 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 7: is there anything else that could be in my drive 423 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 7: train that's causing that. 424 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 5: I mean, it could be Tom, it could be tires 425 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 5: if the tires are feathered. But you know, the only 426 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 5: way we find that is we will physically put that 427 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 5: car up in the air. Somebody drives it, and you know, typically, 428 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 5: you know, it'll sit there stopped, and then I'll tell Danny, 429 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 5: you know, give me twenty or give me twenty five, 430 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 5: meaning accelerate the twenty or twenty five miles an hour. 431 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 5: And I'll listen from underneath with the underneath with a 432 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 5: mechanic stethoscope, obviously being careful of the rotating drive shaft 433 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 5: and the rotating wheels above my head and so forth, 434 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 5: and I will typically hear a loud growl in one 435 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 5: of the wheel bearings, you know, if it truly is 436 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 5: from the rear of the vehicle and it's not tires 437 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 5: and it's not wheel bearings. The only thing else that's 438 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 5: back there is the rear differential itself. And again, listening 439 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 5: to it with a mechanic stethoscope, we'll tell you a 440 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 5: lot and you know, help you, help you to pinpoint it. 441 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 6: You know, have I seen bad Subaru rear diffs? Yeah? 442 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 5: You know, two percent out of the one hundred percent 443 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 5: that are bad wheel bearings. So it's such a low 444 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 5: ratio spinning it by hand, spinning it or feeling for 445 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 5: a wobble, I've never felt I've never had one wobble. 446 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 5: I've never felt it spinning it by hand. It always 447 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 5: has to be done under load, because it has to be. 448 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 5: It has to get up to speed. If you get 449 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 5: what I'm saying. There has to be a certain amount 450 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 5: of speed associated with with that noise because it won't 451 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 5: always happen. It doesn't occur at five six miles an hour. 452 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 5: And if it doesn't occur five six miles an hour, 453 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 5: you're not spinning it at five six miles an hour 454 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 5: in the driveway, right It's it's you got to get 455 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 5: it going faster. So is it? 456 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 6: Is it a part? Right now? 457 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 5: Uh? 458 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 7: You know, so far I haven't taken the wheelbearings out, 459 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 7: but I'm to the point where I was going to start, 460 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 7: but I thought, I kind of hate to do this 461 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 7: because I can't see any evidence at this point. So 462 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 7: that's why I'm talking to you. 463 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 5: You know, it's if can you get it securely up 464 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 5: all four wheels off the ground, just because is it 465 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 5: an all wheel drive Subaru where the fronts are going 466 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 5: to spin should you go to engage it. Yeah, so 467 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 5: you know this is a case where it needs to 468 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 5: be secure on a lift and you know, drive it 469 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 5: at speed and listen to the rear now point of contention. 470 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 5: You're in Wisconsin, you guys get that stuff called snow. 471 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 5: I'm sure, I'm sure they put that stuff, you know, salt, 472 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 5: the lininator or the things that you know melts the 473 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 5: snow and corrosive material. You can almost you know you're 474 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 5: I can almost tell you you're gonna probably end up 475 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 5: putting backing plates on it, which are not uncommon because 476 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 5: to get to get those bearings out are a chore. 477 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 5: You're either using the special six seven hundred dollars after 478 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 5: mark a tool to pull it apart, or you're gonna 479 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 5: use a torch and two bolts from the inside. We 480 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 5: get Dormant actually makes longer bolt kits, and I forget 481 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 5: the thread size, but we will find those those longer 482 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 5: bolts from the Dormant supply catalog on their website, and 483 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 5: we will use an air hammer. We will heat the 484 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 5: bearing and then push the bolts with pushes against the 485 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 5: hub to get it to come out, and you know, 486 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 5: not not doing it that way, you'll be there forever. 487 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 5: I've never seen a slide hammer able to able to 488 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 5: move those they are those bearings get so corroded in 489 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 5: there that it's just it's just beyond comprehension. And if 490 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 5: you're in assault belt state, it's going to be worse. 491 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 5: And I tell everybody you know lately, as these cars 492 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 5: get older and it becomes a more prevalent problem, you know, 493 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 5: be prepared. Backing plates are probably going to be needed 494 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 5: because the ones you're going to take off are so 495 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 5: badly rotted they're not worth saving. So and Super usually 496 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 5: has them in stock, which tells you. 497 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,239 Speaker 7: Something, yeah, okay, And so then my last question is, 498 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 7: so if I put the put it back together and 499 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 7: drive it, is there a danger with that other than 500 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 7: I mean, what can happen? 501 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 5: We've got people out there that come to us, and 502 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 5: it's the conversation. As usually, my car has been making 503 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 5: this noise. My Super who has been making this noise 504 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 5: for the past two years. The three mechanics I took 505 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 5: it to couldn't figure it out. I finally found you 506 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 5: can you tell me what it is? And we tell 507 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 5: him it's a wheel bearing, and we put it in there. 508 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 6: I don't encourage you. 509 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 5: To drive it with a noisy wheel bearing. The bearing 510 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 5: is brindling. B R I N n E l I 511 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 5: n G. I believe is the way it gets spelled. 512 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 5: Is the word just the bull bearings have got a 513 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 5: little bit of acne, so to speak, and that's what's 514 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 5: making them noisy. 515 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 6: And you know, have I ever seen one come apart? 516 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 5: No? 517 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 6: Would I be comfortable. 518 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 5: Driving one with a noisy wheel bearing? No, you know 519 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 5: it's bad as bad. You know you're you're you're asking 520 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 5: me when's it gonna fail? It has failed if it 521 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 5: is a wheel bearing, tom right. If it is a 522 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 5: wheel bearing, you know bad is bad. So and listen, 523 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 5: I'll segue back to Uncle Steve. Uncle Steve would always say, 524 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 5: whenever he took off, whenever he flew, he knew the 525 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 5: plane was in the best possible condition, because big or small, 526 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 5: he knew the problems were solved, so it could face 527 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 5: any condition that he put it in. And I think 528 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 5: you probably want that with your vehicle. If you're in Wisconsin, 529 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 5: if you're traveling distance, if you're out in any kind 530 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 5: of weather, you know there's nothing like being in a warm, safe, 531 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 5: reliable vehicle in bad weather, knowing you're gonna you know, 532 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 5: the odds of you getting there have increased because you've 533 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 5: done your maintenance and you've taken good care and due 534 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 5: diligence of the vehicle. 535 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, sir, Okay, thank you very much.

The question I have is it's kind of general question. 546 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 3: When do you decide to keep a car that's like 547 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 3: ten years old, seventy five thousand miles Honda cordy XLB 548 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 3: six that more warranty claims. I went for the Hondacare 549 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 3: extended warranty on the advice of my service advisor. He said, 550 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 3: this isn't the Hondi you had before. This is you 551 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 3: got computer screens, you got backup cameras, get get the hondacare. 552 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 3: Every year I've had a claim I had a tool, 553 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 3: convertency or rear strutch, start a motor, and now I 554 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 3: got like this, the warranties passed. I'm impeccably maintain the car. 555 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 3: It's expensive doing the maintenance at the dealership. You know, 556 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 3: they want you to break break fluid change every fifteen thousand, 557 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 3: terrain and fill the transmission every thirty coolant you know, 558 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 3: I do the oil every six months, builters everything. But 559 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 3: uh they told me I had to have a whining 560 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 3: humming sound in dry when I'm stopped at a light. 561 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 3: You know, I put the stereo on to go over it, 562 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 3: and uh, I burn into the dealer. They wanted to 563 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 3: charge me too pivity to diagnosed that. I said, no, no, no, 564 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 3: I did my timing belt once, check the belts the bullies. 565 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 3: Whatever breaks Okay, So they looked at it and said, 566 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 3: most likely it's the motor mounts, though I'm not getting 567 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 3: any vibration. The motormounts are two thousand. So it's just 568 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 3: so expensive to keep cars today. It's not like the 569 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 3: old days. 570 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 5: Is so so have you have you priced out a 571 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 5: replacement vehicle. 572 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 3: Uh yeah, it's substantially more.

And the four 595 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 5: cylinders aren't what they once were either. Listen, I don't 596 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 5: think any car out there is what it once was, right, 597 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 5: Honda Civics, the little Honda Civix, the four cylinders, fifteen sixteen's, 598 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 5: the eighteen's head gasket issues five grand to do head 599 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 5: gaskets on Hondas. It's crazy numbers and the things you're 600 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 5: talking about. 601 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 6: As far as break. 602 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 5: Fluid and some of the other fluids, that's just normal maintenance. Now, 603 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 5: that's what vehicles require. That's what they want you to do. 604 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 5: When do you get rid of it? When do you 605 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 5: get rid of a vehicle? I think you're there.

They told me you're looking at 613 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 3: They gave me like the good debate, the ugly the dealership. 614 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 3: He told me that, you know you're looking at doing 615 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 3: your plugs now it's ten years old. You don't like 616 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 3: the plugs to seal up on you. Where we have 617 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 3: to break them to get them out nine to fifty right, 618 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 3: labor and parts to do plugs because they've got to 619 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 3: take the motor apart to get at the plugs. And 620 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 3: then once I told another mechanic not associally with the 621 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 3: deal about the problem with the torque converter, seal went 622 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 3: a couple of years ago and the drive ack so 623 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 3: I had a leak. He said, that could be the 624 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 3: beginning of the sound you're hearing, could be the torque converter. 625 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 3: And that's three to five thousands dollars right there. 626 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 5: It could be the beginning of a trans failure. And 627 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 5: my point is here we are again, right, it's we're 628 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 5: ten years old. Listen, the numbers don't lie right after 629 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 5: a vehicle is three years old. 630 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 6: It's funny.

You know, the price of the 635 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 5: car is the cost of admission. The maintenance you do 636 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 5: after that. It's just it depends on the vehicle and 637 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 5: it depends on the conditions. It sounds like your particular 638 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 5: Honda had a higher than average. 639 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 6: Need, right, like it needed more. 640 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 5: Now, I'm not going to sit here and overlook the 641 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 5: fact also it had extended hondacare you know there might 642 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 5: be things there that a garage might go.

Ay in the car, doctor, I'll be 659 00:33:47,520 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 5: back right after this I think the decision about when 660 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 5: you get rid of the vehicle, I think there's a 661 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 5: lot of factors that have to go into it, and 662 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 5: obviously cost financial, right, what sort of maintenance have you 663 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,240 Speaker 5: done to that vehicle has to come into it, because 664 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 5: I think you have to be realistic, you really do. 665 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 5: And I was listening to Stephen from Vegas there and 666 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 5: hearing him talk about, you know, the cost of things. 667 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 5: But all those fluids he was talking about are just 668 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,280 Speaker 5: normal maintenance. It's you know, and break fluid, boy, don't. 669 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 5: We haven't talked about this in a while, but break 670 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 5: fluid is so critical now. There are different levels of 671 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 5: break fluid. There's Dot four, there's Dot for with a 672 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 5: different viscosity. They're talking about different thicknesses of break fluid. 673 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 5: There's all sorts of specific break fluids that have very 674 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 5: rigorous demands placed on them. And flushing of break fluid, 675 00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 5: maintenance of break fluid is such a critical task today that. 676 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 6: Is taken for granted. And I get it. 677 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 5: You know, a lot of you come from a time 678 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 5: when we didn't do any of this, but the vehicle 679 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 5: is so different today. The needs of the vehicle are 680 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 5: so different today. I think you get rid of the 681 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,319 Speaker 5: vehicle when your mechanic says, hey, it's got rust, it's 682 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 5: got rot. 683 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 6: It can't be fixed. 684 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 5: But if you really like the vehicle, whether you can 685 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 5: afford to replace it or not, drive it. If you 686 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 5: have confidence in your mechanic, if you're sure they can 687 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 5: fix it, if you're sure they can keep you on 688 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 5: the road. If not, life's too short. Ask yourself what color? 689 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 5: Move on, find something else. 690 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 6: Till the next time. 691 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 5: I'm rotting Ay and the car. Doctor, good mechanics aren't expensive, 692 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 5: they're priceless. 693 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 6: See you, doctor Carr. Advice to write
