1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: Ron Anians, my air conditioning doesn't work. It's intermittent. It's

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: some days it works, some days it doesn't. And nobody

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: seemed to be able to figure it out because they

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: never see the problem when it happens. Huh, the car doctor,

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: and he goes to me, what does that yellow light me?

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: And I explained to him, I said, you know, Tony,

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: that means that you've turned on the A C compressor.

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: He goes, oh, that's what the yellow lights for. It

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: was like Jesus had come down and he was walking

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: on war. Does he light me? Slow down? Okay? Light

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of ron and Nannian the

12
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, since this is where car owners the world

13
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: overturned to for their definitive opinion on autumn to repair.

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: the phone and call in the garage. Yours are open,

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: but I am here to take your call at eight

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: five and now running. I'm not sure where to start

18
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: this week because it was, you know, one of those

19
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: weeks at the shop and I don't know which story.

20
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: You know, you sit there and before the show and

21
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: you go, I'll tell you this story. It almost has

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: nothing to do with auto repair, but it does. HBO Max.

23
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm trying to install HBO Max on a TV in

24
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: the house, and I've done it before. I've got it

25
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: on a few of the other TVs, And you know,

26
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: it's a new app. If you have HBO as a

27
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: result of your cable system, you can get HBO Max

28
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: which allows you just to watch HBO programming. Now I've

29
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: installed it on a bunch of other devices and a

30
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: couple of TVs in the house, so you know this

31
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: is no it's it's I've done it before. Well, you know,

32
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: it's the thing where you ever noticed where you you

33
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: have to install an app and they want you to

34
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: They give you a number and they tell you to

35
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: go to a log on on a computer and you

36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: log on, You go to HBO max dot com sign

37
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: in in this case, and you go to the sign

38
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: in and then you feed it that number, and then

39
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: that number asked you to log into your internet service provider,

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: and then you can feed that number back to the

41
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: TV and then they know that it's really you. And

42
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: I think I think they guard this better than NORAD

43
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: guards the missiles. All right. All I'm trying to do

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: is get cable on one TV in my house to work.

45
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: How hard could it be? Thirty five minutes. I'm into

46
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: this all right, because the Verizon website, Verizon, the king

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: of communications, the telephone company. The website keeps crashing and

48
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: it keeps coming up with unexpected error, can't log in,

49
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: and I'm an idiot. I keep trying. I'm you know,

50
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, hey, I'm pretty comp in it. I can

51
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: probably fix this. I've fixed worse and bigger problems than this,

52
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: and how hard could this be? And then it dawned

53
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: on me, it's not about the cable. That's not that's

54
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: not what's bothering me. Because I sat down and I

55
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: looked at it, because I really got angry. It's an

56
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: electric car, folks think about, or just a new technology

57
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: or self driving something, and you knew I was gonna

58
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: go here. They can't get the current technology to work right,

59
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: even when you do the right thing. Rockland Electric, the

60
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: local electric company here in North Jersey, has now an

61
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: offer out there that you can get a free set

62
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: up on your house, free solar and a charging station

63
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: if you own a Tesla. So they've already made the

64
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: jump right there there now now we know where they're

65
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: gonna get it from. Right now, we know where the

66
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: electrical infrastructure is gonna come from. They're just gonna create it.

67
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: They're going to start installing it on your house. And

68
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: of course I wonder what it's like living under solar

69
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: panels because their giant batteries attached to your roof in

70
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: a sense, or the the the You just wonder, right,

71
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: what's the health issues, if there's any, And I just

72
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: think about that. I'm weird. I'm sorry, but they've already

73
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: started this, so I said, you know, this is how

74
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: technology is going to change. But as advanced as it gets,

75
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: I can't get HBO to work on a TV. I

76
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: can't get it. I can't get to log in. And

77
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: why is that? You know? I talked to a few

78
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: people in the shop this week and someone listen to

79
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: the show and some have no clue who or what

80
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: it is I do on the weekend, which is good.

81
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't care. It's either way, whatever works for you.

82
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: And we got around to the subject of electric vehicles

83
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: and everybody said the same thing. You know, my concern

84
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: is will it be affordable? How much will I have

85
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: to pay for an electric car? And I said, well,

86
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: that's kind of the key, right will will there be

87
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: that dollar entry level electric vehicle that works or will

88
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: it be for the uber wealthy that you know, it's

89
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: just gonna be the I'll have all the bells and whistles,

90
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: and you know, the less expensive car is gonna have

91
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: five fifty air conditioning, roll the window down five inches

92
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 1: driving fifty, you wonder. I was talking to Willis. Willis

93
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: is our network affiliate guy high will And this week,

94
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: and we were talking about electric vehicles because it is

95
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: a hot button topic with everybody. Even though I can't

96
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: get my HBO to work, We're all gonna buy electric

97
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: vehicles and hope they work. And Willis said, you know,

98
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: my brother lives seventy miles away one way. He said,

99
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: I want to know how I'm gonna drive three seventy

100
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: miles on an electric vehicle that only goes to fifty.

101
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: I have to make sure that I've got a charging

102
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: station somewhere in the middle or somewhere two thirds of

103
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: the way. And he said, and what happens if I

104
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: don't What happens if I can't find it? And I said, well,

105
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, this is part of the issue willis, it's

106
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: the infrastructure. It's it's how will this work and what

107
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: will this look like. I'm not saying notab electric vehicles.

108
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm just saying has to work, all right. It's as serious.

109
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 1: It's as serious as trying to get the vaccine, okay,

110
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: which we all know what the game everybody's playing. Everybody

111
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: gets up at two o'clock in the morning. They log

112
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: onto all the websites. They keep looking for the vaccine

113
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: that they can't somehow seem to get. But technology is

114
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: going to take us there. I don't know. I just

115
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced, right, I'm just not convinced. And then

116
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: I think about the older folks. How will they react

117
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: to technology? And how do they react to technology? Pat

118
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: came in Pat's she's the widow of an army colonel,

119
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: very sweet little old lady driving an older Cadillac, and

120
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: she came in this week for inspection. She's been coming

121
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: to us for years and years and years, and I think,

122
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, she's kind of getting a little tired, and

123
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: she sort of thinks I'm a relative. I think she

124
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: thinks I'm her son. Um Uh, sometimes I'm not sure

125
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: what she thinks. Um. I'm not sure if she knows

126
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: what she thinks. But um, you know, this week I

127
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: inspected her car and we did all the paperwork and

128
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: got her already illegal for New Jersey motor vehicle inspection.

129
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: And then she looks at me and she says, is

130
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: this the point where I get my eye exam? And

131
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: I said no, And she said, is this the point

132
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: where I got undressed from my physical I said, definitely not, um,

133
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, how would you put this little old

134
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: lady in an electric vehicle? She's not sure where she is?

135
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: And you know, in all fairness, I've called Health and

136
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: Human Services. I told you this is gonna be a

137
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: weird opening. I've hold called Health and Human Services. I've

138
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: had two local police departments come by and see her,

139
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: and she can hide the fact that she's getting older

140
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: and she's a little amiss just enough, and she's getting

141
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: away with it. But are the masses ready for electric vehicles?

142
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: I I just I just don't know, um, because I

143
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: still can't get HBO to work, and I'm pretty cognizant.

144
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: I know where I am most of the time, and

145
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm not taking my clothes off in an Orto repair

146
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: shop and Uh, you know, I just I don't know.

147
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna change a lot. Motor Age came

148
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: out with a great article this week talking about advanced

149
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: radar braking systems. By model year, all vehicles sold in

150
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: the United States, all vehicles are gonna have advanced braking systems.

151
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna shoot radar out from under the car and

152
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: back of the car, side of the car. If they

153
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: see something, they're gonna automatically apply the brakes and get

154
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: the vehicle to stop. Who's gonna fix that, Um, you know,

155
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: the auto motive after market, the independent repair shops. Yeah,

156
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: there's guys out there. There's the automotive studs that can

157
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: fix everything and anything, and they're gearing up for this expense.

158
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know if they can swallow this expense.

159
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: Because the manufacturers are having a hard time dealing with

160
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: this expense. The independents are really gonna have to start

161
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: spending a lot of money and charging a lot of

162
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: money to stay even to get to the point where

163
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: they can break even. But you know, we're getting so

164
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: far away from what a car should be. A car

165
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: was meant to be transportation, a car was meant to

166
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, I have to go to the supermarket. I

167
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: don't need to get into something. Strap on, load up,

168
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: and lock on, like I'm gonna launch out of an

169
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: out of a missile shaft and fly halfway around the world.

170
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: I want to go to the minute. Yeah, so they're

171
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna put radar in this thing that will

172
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: apply the brakes whenever it sees something. Did you see

173
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: the windstorm that went through here last week? Round how

174
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: much stuff flew across the road in your house? Tom?

175
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: I took my A s C. I mean, I've been

176
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: taking my A s C tests this this year, right

177
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: because I'm not going into for coronavirus. I'm not sitting

178
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: in test centers. So one of the tests you get,

179
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, you signed up for the app and you

180
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: get it on your phone. And one of the tests

181
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: this year was a vehicle with automatic breaking um has

182
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: got a warning light on the dashboard and applying the brakes.

183
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: Could it be? And they give you a list of things,

184
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: this sensor out of calibration, a defective blind spot, mirror sensor.

185
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: And then I think the right, sir was debris on

186
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: the windshield. So debris on the windshield was causing a

187
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: problem with the pedestrian Detection, Safety and breaking system. Hello birds, Yeah,

188
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: you know, why don't we just say it? Okay, Hi,

189
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: we're the government. We think everybody's too stupid than I

190
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: how to drive. So we're just gonna take away the

191
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: problem for you. And and that's really where it's going,

192
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: because it can't be that we really want this, um,

193
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: you know what are we really chasing? And it's just

194
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: not for everybody because you still have the eight and

195
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: the ninety year olds out there that can't afford it.

196
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: You still got the eight and the ninety year olds

197
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: out there that don't want it all right. You've still

198
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: got the repair shops out there that are having difficulty

199
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: fixing O B D two. You've got vehicles out there

200
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: that are just not affordable. I have a story for

201
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: you when I come back, I'm gonna tell you about

202
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: the Chevy Traverse and then we'll take the phones. I'm

203
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: run any in the car doctor. I'll be back right

204
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: after this. For the best in car advice, Give Ron

205
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: a call eight five five five zero nine nine zero zero.

206
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: Now back to Ron. You know what, let's let's take

207
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: the call and if there's time. But you gotta stick

208
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: around this hour because I've got a really great story

209
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: about a Chevy Traverse and the stupidity of General Motors.

210
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: And it's just And these are the guys that are

211
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: building the e V vehicle, right, they've got all the

212
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: ads on TV. We're taking e V to the next level.

213
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: Because when you see this, I'd be afraid to ride

214
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: a bicycle. It says General Motors, right, It's just just so,

215
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: it's just not all you know, you gotta call you

216
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: gotta call a third a turd. So let's go over

217
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: to Larry in Florida. Larry, how can I help you

218
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: in your two thousand suburban? Yes, sir, terrific to speak

219
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: with you on just a quick moment. To commend Tom Ray,

220
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: your producer, for all of this terrific effort in his

221
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: special effort to get me on the phone with you today.

222
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: And secondly to say how much in the radio world

223
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: we love your stories, particularly the one going to get

224
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: the special distributor rench on a bicycle brought back a

225
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: lot of memories not as special as yours. But in

226
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: New Jersey, this is the problem we've done on on

227
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: our two thousand suburban that's somewhat similar to your shop truck.

228
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: It's got about two seventy eight thousand miles on the

229
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: dash lights. The A B S and the break warning

230
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: lights together will come on and then go off, particularly

231
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: if you go over a rough ground like a railroad track.

232
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: I had a GM train mechanic check it and he

233
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: said there was a code C zero two six five.

234
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: Apparently the car has a Kelsey Haze a BS control

235
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: module that's used in a number of the two thousand

236
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: and two thousand six or seven Silverado's, Chevrolet Tahoe's, et cetera.

237
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: It's a plate which goes on top of the A

238
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: B S control unit under the car are mounted on

239
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: to the left frame rail. The issue I wanted just

240
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: to get your help and thoughts on Ron is the

241
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: ACE A Delco replacement part is over eight hundred dollars.

242
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: There are two of them. One is with a traction

243
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: control unit, one is without. Our card does not have

244
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: the traction control unit, and there seems to be very

245
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: few other alternatives, even they don't seem to even be

246
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: the A C Delco rebuilt for the ones without the

247
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: traction control There is a car Done Manufacturing has a

248
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: rebuilt ABS control plate for this specific model without the

249
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: traction control. And I want to just ask, have you

250
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: ever used or installed those? I've I've but I've always

251
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: had the option, frankly up to this point of being

252
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: able to procure a Delko or a GM piece. Um

253
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: what I what I consider using a car down for

254
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: that matter? You know, I would check the Dorman website

255
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: Dormant I think it's Dormant Products dot com. This Dormant

256
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: offer anything rebuilt remand for this application. If they do,

257
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: I would consider using that because you're probably at the

258
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: price point and at the end of the parts sourcing

259
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: available pieces for the vehicle that you know, there's just

260
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: nothing else left because you've got to get something that

261
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: matches the vehicle non traction control, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And

262
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: you know the issue. Have you had any luck? Run?

263
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: The internet has a number of places advertising they'll rebuild

264
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: the ABS plate the car if it's sent into them. No, haven't, haven't.

265
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: Haven't gone down that road. I haven't gone down that road.

266
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: I would be leery. My concern would be that unless

267
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: you know you're you're you're you're sending out the only

268
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: known working piece for this vehicle to an unknown, unknown rebuilder.

269
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's one thing. If it's two blocks down

270
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: the road from the house, you can stop by on

271
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: Tuesday and drop it off and pick it up on Friday,

272
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: or pick it up the following week. You know they're there.

273
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: You know, do you wanna you know, maybe go out

274
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: and get a Junkyard piece for fifty bucks and send

275
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: that out and get that rebuilt if you can find

276
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: something dirt cheap. But I wouldn't give up. I wouldn't

277
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: give up the original piece that you have because you're

278
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: really kind of setting yourself up. What if, you know,

279
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: what if it gets lost, what if they can't fix it,

280
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: what if you know, they make it worse. You know,

281
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of unknowns there. That's a profound advice.

282
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: I hadn't considered that issue. Had you run in when

283
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: you've seen this in the shop? Run Have you run

284
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: into an issue where the ABS pump itself will burn

285
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: out if the lights have been on too long? No,

286
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: but I've the issue is this is usually a pump

287
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: motor issue, but the pump motor can have high current

288
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: raw and then it damages the real A two. So

289
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: this is a very common failure. Or was a very

290
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: common failure when there were more of these vehicles out there.

291
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: So suffice it to say, you know your next move

292
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: is an important move because you've got to make sure

293
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: if you're planning to continue to drive this, which I

294
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: know you are. You know I would I would say

295
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: that you know it's just as important where you buy

296
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: it as it is is what you buy. Do you

297
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: have a do you have a local Oreillyoto parts? Absolutely? Ron.

298
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: Have you talked to them to see what they can source?

299
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: They have? They have the cardone part. But I'm wondering,

300
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: do you think if it was your car, would you

301
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: try to if you could get the A C alcal part,

302
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: even if it was eight hundred dollars, would you go

303
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: that route? Yes, just because I'm but listen, Larry, I'm nuts,

304
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: all right. I've got an old Force suburban with seventy

305
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: five thou miles on it. I've already got tucked away

306
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: an alternator or a fuel pump and air conditioning compressor

307
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: because I don't plan on getting rid of the vehicle.

308
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: I've already A matter of fact, last week I found

309
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: Delco still had a brand new PCM main engine computer.

310
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: Uh Bucks in stock I ordered one. I'm just gonna

311
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: have it. It's cheaper than a car to me, at

312
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: the rate parts disappear. At the rate parts disappear. You know,

313
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: you don't want to know what I have for the

314
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: Monte Carlo uh and you definitely don't want to know

315
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: what I have for the fifty five. I can build

316
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 1: three of them. Um, you know what, you can't get parts? Heck,

317
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: the car is the easy part. Finding parts for anything

318
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: as it ages, that's the trick. So get yourself down

319
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: to your local Orilyoto parts. Is there a way they

320
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: can source a Delco piece for you? All right? Or

321
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: look it up online at Orillioto dot com. At least

322
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: you're dealing with a reputable company that's been around and

323
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: you've got some history there. All right. Good luck to you, Larry.

324
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: Let me know how you make out. Hey. Coming up next,

325
00:17:55,240 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: Stephan Nemitz from Liquamali calling in. We're going take a

326
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: little bit of long distance phone call and talk to

327
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: you about some characteristics of and UH oil which you

328
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: want to look for in motor oil. Coming up next,

329
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm running any of the car Doctor. We're back right

330
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: after this. Welcome back, listeners, Ron and any in the

331
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: car doctor. You know, if nothing else, automobiles get to

332
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: be technical at times, no kidding, right, And some of

333
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: the things that we call certain parts and the abbreviations

334
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: we use and the way we shortcut in terms of

335
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: identifying a component or a piece of the technology that

336
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: makes the automobile go. Um, it becomes letters and abbreviations. Well,

337
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: oil is no different and we're here to talk with

338
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: an expert about it. In terms of l s p I.

339
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: What is l s p I. We've got Stephan Mimics

340
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: with us. He's an application an engineer at Liqual Molly headquarters.

341
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: He's calling in from Germany today, so we're using technology

342
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: to talk about technology. Stephen, thanks for being here in

343
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: the garage today. Talk to us. What First of all,

344
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: let me start the conversation here. What is an application engineer?

345
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: M yes, I run um yeah. Application engineer means I'm

346
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: part of the Liquimos R and D. So we do

347
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: test and developed new product and a big, a big

348
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: part of my job is also to educate our customers.

349
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: Is also our sales stuff worldwide or globally about the

350
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: different motor oils, about the different additives. Um so that's

351
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: that's part of the job of me and and my

352
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: my colleagues in the R and D here. I've always

353
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: said motor oil is it's kind of like chicken soup,

354
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: right everybody everybody seems to start with a base stock

355
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: of something and then it's it's the vitamins that you

356
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: put in it. And Liqual Molly's got their own proprietary vitamins,

357
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: so to speak. And is that part of the l

358
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: s p I conversation? Is lsp I and why is

359
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: it a concern? MHM. LSPI means low speed pre ignition

360
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: and that describes an uncontrolled pre ignition at low engine

361
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: speeds and high load for example, and pressed a throttle full.

362
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: So this leads to increased pressure in the cylinder knocking

363
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: an engine damage. UM. So is there an additive that

364
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: helps prevent lsp I. What is Liqua Molly doing that

365
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: makes it so unique and stand out from the crowd.

366
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: Of course, we have developed a new additive formulation that

367
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: reduces the risk of having an l s p I.

368
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: But the problem is there is not only the one

369
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: solution to to prevent or fixing l s p I. UM.

370
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: The problem is approached from what has to be approached

371
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: from different sites. Does does octane there's a better grade

372
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: of fuel have any effect on it? No, l s

373
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: PI does not depend on the fuels octane number. In

374
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: this case, the ignition occurs through self igniting of of

375
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: oil droplets or clorine particles in the combustan chamber. But

376
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: of course the use of premium create gasoline is recommended

377
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: to provide at least the most efficient burning of the

378
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: injected fuel. So does l s p I affect all cars?

379
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: Is everybody listening today, no matter what they're driving, have

380
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: an lsp I problem? Are? Are? Are all cars the

381
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: same as it? Older cars? Is it? Non turbo cars?

382
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: Luxury cars? What? What? What's you know? How do we

383
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: define it as to where it will occur? It's it's

384
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: mainly the latest direct injected engine generation. You have to

385
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: see that um to meet the latest fuel economy regulations

386
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: and performance demands. These modern gaso line direct injection engines

387
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: short forms g d I. They are all downsized and

388
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: turbo shots, so this means higher slim the pressure and

389
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: higher temperature in the combustan chamber, which then can lead

390
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: to an l s p I U N GOT it

391
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: is there are a remedy? Is there a cure for

392
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: l s p I? UM. The problem is that the

393
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: excess the exact cause of LSPI has not been definitely clarified,

394
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: but it is believed that the code that it is

395
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: to be caused by both oil residues and fuel deposits

396
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: in the combustan chamber are significantly responsive for an LSBI event. So,

397
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: as as mentioned already, there is not the one solution. UM.

398
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: Some vehicle manufactors use a software update for their engine

399
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: conjole unit for example, most manufactors already require special motor

400
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: formulations for the affected engines, and even the regular use

401
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: of special fuel datives is already prescribed by some manufactors.

402
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: So I was gonna say, I'm sorry, is is is

403
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: there something in some motor oils to help control or

404
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: deal with the LSPI phenomena. I think it's what we're

405
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: gonna call. Yes, yes it is. UM. It's not some

406
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: some special additive in it. It is it is more

407
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 1: to not use as much as in the past from

408
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: some special ingredients. For example, there are some some parts

409
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: of the additive package that are well known for increasing

410
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: the risk of helles B l S b I, for example,

411
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: calcium stuff like this. So all these new modern Motori

412
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: formulations they contain less of some special agents UM in

413
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: order to reduce the risk of having LSBI. So so

414
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: taking edit is out. So suffice it to say, UM.

415
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: One of the comments I've always made about motor oil

416
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: is it's always evolving, and it's not necessarily you're buying

417
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: the oil. You're buying the engineering behind what creates the oil,

418
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: and you're buying the company's technology. And the way Liqua

419
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: Molly is approaching and correct me if I'm wrong, is

420
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: you're you're tuning the oil to the vehicle to help

421
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: prevent the condition. Fair statement, that's a statement. Of course,

422
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: we know the requirements from the vehicle manufacturers, so we,

423
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: as you mentioned with tune or reformulate our oils to

424
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: to meet this specific requirements. And there are a lot

425
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: of different requirements for every type of engine, every different

426
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: operating addition, and additionally, it's very important to to use

427
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: only high quality based materials, high quality additive package lative

428
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: technology UM to meet the specific manufacturer's requirements. And additionally

429
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned at the beginning of our of our conversation

430
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: is we're also having some special additives in particular developed

431
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: for the demands of latest engine technologies, so there's not

432
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: only one additive you can use for twenty thirty four

433
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: the years technology is changing, so also the editive technology

434
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: has to be changed and being up to date. Unlike

435
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: Mom's chicken soup, which probably hasn't changed in a hundred years,

436
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: Mom always makes it the same way, right. Um is

437
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: there a difference though, between l s p I and

438
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: what most motoris snow or here is engine knock? Is

439
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: there is that a different thing? There is a there

440
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: is a different thing between um. LSPI causes violent knocking

441
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: at low engine speed and high load. It can lead

442
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: to major engine damage very quickly. So as mentioned earlier,

443
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: the ignition occurs due to external factors like oil traplets

444
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: or fuel deposits in the combustion jumber, while the engine

445
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: knocking happens at higher engine speed and high loads and

446
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: is caused mainly by insuffisent octane numbers of the fuel.

447
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: You have to know that the lower the octane number,

448
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: the more likely the gas line will kind of salt

449
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: ignite because of the heat during the compression. That's the

450
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: diesel effect. But knocking is rarely caused by colo ignition

451
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: from deposits in the combustion chamber, so in contrast to LSBI,

452
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: this knocking reduces engine performance and causes more kind of

453
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: long term damage. While LSPI you have to damage really

454
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: very quickly. Can can a vehicle have an lsp I

455
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: event without the vehicle owner realizing it? Is it that

456
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: they won't necessarily hear noises or knocking, Just maybe if

457
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: they're using the wrong oil or or a less octane fuel,

458
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: they might be creating it without knowing that they've got it.

459
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: That's that. That's this, that's correct. When LSPI is happening,

460
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 1: you have to be very sensitive what's going on in

461
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: your car to realize. It mostly happens without that the

462
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: colt rival feels anything. It just happens. It's not that

463
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: um it knocks. But yeah, you have to have a

464
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: good feeling for for your car. And the problem is

465
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: that we've seen broken pist on, broken piston rings, so

466
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: that's a major engine damage that's expensive to fix. Yeah. Absolutely, listen,

467
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: I guess the old rule applaies use the correct oil,

468
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: use a good quality oil, and make sure you're using

469
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: the right octane fuel in the vehicle, and do your

470
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: maintenance on a regular casual Yeah, and and and use

471
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: regular additives to maintain the fuel system. That's also very

472
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: important because we have a lot of deposits in the

473
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: combusting chamber on this modern g d I engines. So

474
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: and these deposits they conclue and also caused that FDI perfect. Hey, Stephen,

475
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: where can the listeners go get more information? I'm sure

476
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: there's a website absolutely uh liquid liquidsh Molley dot com.

Speaker 1: We're glad to be here for you and do what

499
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: we have to do. Uh. We've got a couple of

500
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: phone calls comments about radars and things like that. Let's

501
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: go over and talk to Ben. And I always got

502
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: a comment on my opening comments about radar on vehicles. Ben,

503
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: what's up? What's on your mind? Yeah? I just heard

504
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: that going on. I've been driving truck with one of

505
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: those radars on here for some time now, and UM,

506
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: definitely concerns I have. I've I've been going down the

507
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: freeway and I've had nothing in front of me, uh

508
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: seventy and I've had it go off saying object detected

509
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: and it I'm actually applied the brakes and slowed me

510
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: down by at least five ten at least five miles

511
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: an hour within a second and a half. Just jammed

512
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: on the brakes on the freeway. Um, now is this

513
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: is this an eighteen wheeler? Been? Is this a big

514
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: truck or what kind of vehicle is this? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,

515
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: this is this is an eighteen wheeler. So I've got

516
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: nothing in front of me and it's gone off. I've

517
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: had other drivers where it's completely just locked them right

518
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: in the middle of the road and it won't let

519
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: him move because it says it's a detects an object.

520
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: So the big, biggest problem I see with that is, uh,

521
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, you get you get something in wintertime, and

522
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: you get that thing to go off with nothing in

523
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: front of you on some little bit of slick roads here.

524
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,239
Speaker 1: Now that dude can go out of control. Well, you know,

525
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: I see that. Tom had texted me a message during

526
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: the during the break, he said, Ron, what happens if

527
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm driving a vehicle with adaptive cruiser with you know,

528
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: this advanced radar system and it sees something in front

529
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: of me and it slows my vehicle down, but the

530
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: guy behind me doesn't have it and he's not paying attention.

531
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: Does he end up rerending me? Uh yeah, I guess

532
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: that's all the cell phone use Nowaday. What I what

533
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: I really see is the bigger picture. The bigger problem

534
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: is everything we're putting on the vehicle makes it more

535
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: expensive to repair, and sooner or later it's going to break.

536
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: We've we've we've gotten so far away from a simple,

537
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: just back and forth to the grocery store, work church

538
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: kind of a vehicle and the cost to repair. Here's

539
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: my story I was gonna tell before Ben sixteen Chevy

540
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: Traverse came into the shop this week mile vehicle miles.

541
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: The highside power steering pressure line goes over the back

542
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: of the engine, over the top of the main wiring harness.

543
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: It developed a leak. It leaked power steering fluid onto

544
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: the harness down onto the rear bank oxygen sensor. It

545
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: got into the O two sensor connector. It's created multiple codes,

546
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: five or six different codes across the system. The fault

547
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: is that there's power steering fluid. The fall comes up

548
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: because there's power steering fluid in the wiring harness connector

549
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: for the oxygen sensor GMS fixes obviously, and there's a

550
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: bulletin GMS fixes. They want you to put a new

551
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: power steering hose on it. Yep, makes sense. They want

552
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: you to put a new O two censor in it, yep,

553
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: makes sense. They want you to put an engine compartment

554
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: wiring harness in the vehicle. You know it's involved in

555
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: that on this six year old vehicle. Gotta lower the

556
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: cradle down, gotta pull the engine, got to separate the

557
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: body in the subframe. It's easily four hours of time.

558
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: The bulletin says you can do it in seven and

559
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: a half. I'd like to see the bulletin do it

560
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: in seven and a half. Um taking something apart that age,

561
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, the harnesses, sis, the power steering hose, and

562
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: a two centers under the three hundreds, a thousand bucks

563
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: and material it's in labor. It's it's a five thousand

564
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: dollar repair on a six year old car. Yeah, that's

565
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: that's incredible. I like what you said about having you know,

566
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: parts is cheaper than buying a new car. Yep, it

567
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: really is, It really is. And the sad part is

568
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: all these parts that you can't buy. They wish you

569
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: could all the car companies have done is they've taken

570
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: them back and they've either put them out into the

571
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: aftermarket somewhere. They've just they've crushed them because it costs

572
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: them too much money to warehouse them. It's really amazing.

573
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: It's it's just nuts. But I will say, you know what,

574
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: we'll see Ben. I appreciate the call, sir, and keep

575
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,479
Speaker 1: on trucking. No no pun intended, but we appreciate all

576
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: you do out there working through this, uh, through these

577
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: crazy times, and trucks like you are bringing us the

578
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: supplies we need to keep ourselves going. God bless stay safe.

579
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm running any in the car Doctor. I'll be back

580
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: right after this. Welcome back r the name of the

581
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: car Doctor. So what do we learn this hour? You know,

582
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: Ron's got some crazy customers. We knew that some of

583
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: the funniest things happened to Ron when he at least

584
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: expects it. We knew that too. But the technology that

585
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: they're bringing to bringing to the table, it's a lot

586
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: of it's been out there and it's just it's crazy. Here.

587
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you a quick story. I was reading this.

588
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: I was looking at all Data News, UH this morning.

589
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: All Data news dot com all Data dot Com is

590
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: the website and there's a tech tip on there that

591
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: a two thousand eleven MAMS the two thousand eleven miles

592
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: the c X seven all wheel drive two three turbo.

593
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: The vehicle was dropped off of the shop because the

594
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: driver's side window would not operate. When the technician removed

595
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: the connectors from the PCM, the engine died, but when

596
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: he plugged the connectors back to the E C M PCM,

597
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: it started back up. And the long and the short

598
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: of it is that there was a problem in the

599
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: driver's side window manster switch. It allowed the engine to

600
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: be shut down with the key. After you've changed the

601
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 1: whisk switched, the engine would uh started and run and

602
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: shut down Normally. The power windows switch was creating a

603
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: short circuit in the wiring. Not that there was a

604
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: defect in the wiring, there was a problem in the switch.

605
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: It was affecting the operation of in the way that

606
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: the engine was running and turning the engine off it

607
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: hit the power windows to go down. The car was

608
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: shut off. You know it's it's not gonna be that simple, folks.

609
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: It's remember what I told you. If you want to
