8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: a bad instrument cluster causing the radio and power windows

9

00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: Car Doctor. I am fired up, ready to go. It

24
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: was a nice week off. I have to go back

25
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: to work, though, I'm exhausted. Just you know, the things

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: you find to do on staycation. Um. I think I

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: worked on cars eight days out of seven, if that's possible. Um,

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: just doing things and finding things to do, and oh yeah,

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: I wonder how that worked. And I want to go

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: back down at the shop and tinker with this and gee,

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: let me just look at that. And I gotta go

32
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: back to work. It's got to be easier than trying

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: to be on vacation. Good afternoon, Mr Ray. How are

34
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: you today, sir? Oh tired? Yeah, yeah, it looked like

35
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: you were out late last night. Yes. Yes, My son

36
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: and I have a tradition since he was twelve he's

37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: thirty now. We go to the Giant Jets preseason game

38
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: every year, and we took Tony with us this year.

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: So you're the twelve year old and now he's he's

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: he's the adult. That's right. Yeah, that's the way it

41
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: always works. So may I see Tony's I'm in the

42
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: missing today. That's okay. We uh we we wished he

43
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: has whiplash. Yeah, well, between watching the game and watching

44
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: the ladies in the stands, I didn't know which way

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: his head was turning. Well, and he got there late

46
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: from what I understand. Uh yeah, thanks to the lovely

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: Port Authority and the mt A. That happens. That's a

48
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: that's a New Jersey, New York thing. So but in

49
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: any event, let's let's kick the garage doors open. Let's

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: go and talk to Rachel in Indiana OH one Mercedes

51
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: mL three twenty Rachel, Welcome to the car doctor. How

52
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: can I help? Good morning? Hi? How are you? I'm good? Thanks?

53
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: What's going well? I have two thousand one were stadies.

54
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: And when I'm driving or when I'm just trying to park,

55
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: it gives me a lot of resistance. When I try

56
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: to turn right, it's worse if I and if I'm

57
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: just trying to park or pull out of the garage,

58
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't want to turn right. Okay, I

59
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: check the power staring fluid and that's not it. It

60
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: turns left just fine too. Okay. How many miles were

61
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: on this car? You know? Quite of it? I don't.

62
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't have that hundred thousand, two hundred thousand. Yeah, yeah, okay,

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: high mileage car, um, high mileage car. So let's let's

64
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: talk about this. Doesn't matter whether you're Mercedes or a Chevrolet,

65
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, the basic mechanics here are still

66
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: the same. A power steering pump does not know direction,

67
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't know left or right. Okay. So that being said,

68
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: it's still one of my concerns as as power steering

69
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 1: pumps are an issue or known to be an issue

70
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: on Ben's is of this vintage, particularly if the pump

71
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: itself has YEA. If the pump is slightly low on

72
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: output pressure, it can create an issue left or right,

73
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: depending upon if there's another problem elsewhere. So that being said,

74
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, my and and I should back up a

75
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: second here. My first question is are we sure the

76
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: fluid as good as you've owned the car since knew

77
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: you've owned the car a good long time and the

78
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: problem wasn't there? Did you inherit the car this way?

79
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: I just got the car a couple of weeks ago, okay,

80
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: and the problem has been there since day one? Yeah? Okay? Um,

81
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: and do you know the person that you bought it from?

82
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: Or was this just something you purchased this way the

83
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: person I got it from? Okay, can you can you

84
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: go back and ask them when did the problem happen?

85
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: Would they know? As it might help the diagnosis? I

86
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: mean it could. I think I think it's done that

87
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: quite a while for them too, but I'm not sure.

88
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: All right? And and because then the next question is

89
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: was the car ever in an accident? Did they try

90
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: to get the problem solved? And if so, what repairs

91
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: were done? Where this is ultimately leading What we typically

92
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: look for is we look for condition and correct fluid.

93
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: This takes very specific power steering fluid for a Benz,

94
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: and we've got to be sure that what's in there

95
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: is right. So we'll work on the assumption that it is.

96
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: But I just want to make sure I state that.

97
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: So then the next question I've got is was the

98
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: vehicle ever in an accident? And then if if a

99
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: mechanic were to put this up in the air, and

100
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: I'd start with just disconnecting steering linkage side the side

101
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: to the wheels them self, turn and move free. Is

102
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: there anything binding bound up, stiff, tight, et cetera. All right, Um,

103
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: I would also go ahead, waitment, I would also take

104
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: a look at power steering pump output if there's a way,

105
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: if they have the ability, can they pressure check the pump?

106
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: Like I said, pumps are common. This doesn't sound like

107
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: a pump, but it could be a combination of a

108
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: pump and or a steering rack, which is the mechanism

109
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: that the pump feeds pressure to to turn the wheels.

110
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: A pump doesn't know direction, a steering rack does. That's

111
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: the main steering gear, and it could it could be

112
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: that this is headed for a steering gear itself, the

113
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: steering rack assembly. If you google power steering rack will

114
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: get a picture of it and see what I'm talking about.

115
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: The problem becomes though, that a power steering rackets to

116
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: be very expensive for this car. It's almost uh um,

117
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: it might exceed what you paid for it. So you

118
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: want to be sure of what you're doing. And then

119
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: if you do have to put a rack in the car,

120
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: you've got to be certain of quality and type. You're

121
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: gonna find out I think if you don't know it

122
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: by now, that owning a Mercedes require some very specific

123
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: parts and some very specific repair procedures. So just yeah,

124
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: it's yeah, I can tell, but you found that out.

125
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, um, the hard way I understand. Um. So

126
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: do you have a mechanic that that that works on Mercedes, Um,

127
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: not locally? Yeah, and that's that's that's yeah, that's the

128
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: problem too. UM. The good news is though that if

129
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: you find somebody that can work on it, they tend

130
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: to last a good long time and they are great cars.

131
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: They just have to they just have to speak Mercedes

132
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: as I say, you know, blonde hair, blue eyes, and um,

133
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: you know, comes from the fatherland and he understands the vehicle. Uh,

134
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: you know. But let's start with basics, you know, if

135
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna if you're gonna fix this, UM, I would

136
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: say start with basics. Like I said, if you could

137
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: go back and talk to the person, Hey, how long

138
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: did the problem? How how long had the problem been happening?

139
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: You know, was it ever in an accident in the front?

140
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: Did it? Did anything crop up after that repair? Um?

141
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: And then talk about you know, fluid, think about fluid,

142
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: think about having the pump pressure checks. But likely if

143
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: the steering suspension doesn't turn out to be an issue

144
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: where it's not tighter binding, I would start to think

145
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: about a steering rack as being at fault. All right,

146
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: thanks Rachel, You're very welcome. You have a good rest

147
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: of the day. Um by by unfortunately. Yeah, you know

148
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: that first car, maybe that that that newer car part. Yeah,

149
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: I got a Mercedes, and I guess it doesn't matter

150
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: when you buy it in your life or at what

151
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: point you've always got to think about. You know, people

152
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: come to me and say, hey, I want to buy this.

153
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: I want to buy that. You've got to think about

154
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: when it's gonna break. If you're buying it new, if

155
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: you're buying it used, You've always got to think, you know,

156
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do when it breaks? Who's gonna

157
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: work on it? And and what's that gonna cost? Because

158
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: the break factor, um, the breaking factor will always come

159
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: into you know, play here. It's it's it's become it

160
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: becomes part of the the ownership. I've said it once,

161
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: I've said it a thousand times, and I'll say it

162
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: until until I'm not here anymore. A car is a lifestyle,

163
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: and it just it kind of comes back to how

164
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: much how much car, how much lifestyle can you afford

165
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: or do you want to afford? Um? So, but in

166
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: any event, let's get over and talk to Kevin Rockland,

167
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: New York, oh seven hunday in a car that doesn't start. Kevin,

168
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car, doctor, sir. What's going on? Heyy Ron,

169
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: how you doing? I seem to have a problem with

170
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: my two thousand seven hunday era. Uh, it's an intermittent

171
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: starting problem. Sometimes appears to be like an a mobilizer

172
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: or something kind of electronic. Doesn't seem to be anything mechanical.

173
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: But I just keep turning over and unless uh, the

174
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: light on the dashboard shows up that it recognizes the key,

175
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: that car will not start. Okay, So it's got it.

176
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's having an anti theft event From

177
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: what you're describing, Is there a there should be some

178
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: sort of a of a key symbol or something um

179
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: to signify an anti theft event on the dashboard? Is

180
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: there is there a light that's normally green that's read

181
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: when this happens. No, theF the light shows up and

182
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: recognized the key, but it doesn't always show up, and

183
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: that that is the problem. When you if you don't

184
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: see the yellow light show up with the key to call,

185
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: just turn but it will never turn over. Okay? Is

186
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: scan it for codes. No, I did not scan it

187
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: for codes. Alright, codes are the first thing we're looking for.

188
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: A P sixt which, if it isn't a mobilizer authentication issue,

189
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: a mobilizer authentication fail code is P six UM. Now

190
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: you you should see that under ob D two, I

191
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: would be I would be prepared to do a complete

192
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: vehicle scan um all system modules, just for knowledge sake,

193
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: and I would tell you that you should do it

194
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: relatively soon after the fault occurs, just so that we

195
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: don't lose it in history, depending upon how intermittent. This is.

196
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: The One thing um I could also tell you is

197
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: if your scan tool has any sort of data stream

198
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: or values and it you can look to see if

199
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: the scan tool shows learn invalid um and believe it

200
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: or not, they use the word virgin. It's it's one

201
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: of the other learned invalid or virgin on the on

202
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: the scan tool and part of the immobilizer system, and

203
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: it will it will you know, turn up. In other words,

204
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: what it's saying is does the system recognize the key

205
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: as the right key for the cars that really Kevin

206
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: or is it some guy trying to steal it? And

207
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: you know if if it if it shows anything but learned.

208
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: It's telling you that there's a faulted. There is a

209
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: fault in the immobilizer and it could be anything from uh,

210
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: the ignition switch to the most common is the ignition

211
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: key itself. Do you have a second key you can try?

212
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: I tried. I have two keys for it, and both

213
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: keys are very similar. Things happen to it. Okay when

214
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: you say very similar, is there a little bit of

215
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: a difference? Is there a matter of frequency of when

216
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: and how it happens? Or no, I don't want You

217
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: could drive it for three months and you never have

218
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: a problem with it, and then one day you get

219
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: us take your half an hour to start the car. Okay, yeah,

220
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: we've we've we've got to go look at a mobilizer

221
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: data and see if you have any fold codes there

222
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: and then start to work on that. All right. That's

223
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: that's that's where I would begin with this. If you

224
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: if you're seeing symbols on the desk that indicates you, um,

225
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: right key, wrong key. As you say the key, the

226
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: key symbol lights up and then sometimes it doesn't. Now,

227
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: keep keep in mind that key, for lack of a

228
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: better way to put it, as a transmitter. You're you're

229
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: plugging it into the switch and you're turning it and

230
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: it's looking to see, hey, is this really you? Is

231
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: this the right chip? But that transmitter has to be

232
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: read by a receiver, all right, which is which is

233
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: the transponder itself? And is that seeing correct information? And

234
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: and and that sort of comes back through the conversation

235
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: about what does the scan tools say. Does it say

236
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: that the key value is learned? Is it invalid or

237
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: is it virgin meaning it's new. It thinks it's the

238
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: first time it's seeing the key. And then it's a

239
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: question of why does it think it's seeing the key

240
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: for the first time. Um, But you know, rather than guess,

241
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: we've got to go and you know, we've got to

242
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: get a scan. We've gotta get it looked at. From

243
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: that perspective, you recommend that and as soon as it happens,

244
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: just to bring it over to somebody, right, somebody's got

245
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: to be And I would first thing I would do,

246
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, is before the problem happens again,

247
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: if you're gonna use a local mechanic or the dealer,

248
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: whoever you're gonna use, I would get them to scan

249
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: the car. Now what does the information look like today?

250
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: Right now? Print it out here? It is boom, okay,

251
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: this is known. Good the next time it happens. Wow,

252
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: here's what we're missing. At least you've got something to

253
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: compare it against. But yeah, absolutely, as soon as the

254
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: problem happens again. All right, sir, all right, very good,

255
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: thank you for help. You're very welcome. Good luck. Let

284
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: and don't take offense. But I knew it was gonna

285
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: be a weird show today because it was a full

286
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: moon last night. And and it's yeah, it's like like

287
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: I get it. Um, you're on information overload, right, You're

288
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: sit in the car and it's like sitting in the

289
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: cockpit of n f F sixt You're just like, what

290
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: are all the buttons and dials and knobs? And did

291
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: they give you any sort of um to toorial. Did

292
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: they sit with you and, you know, explain how this

293
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: works and that works. Or did they drop off the

294
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: car heading of the keys and said it's yours? No, certain,

295
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: evidently she done that as a zealership. So so it's

296
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: her car? Or did she buy the car and she's

297
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: giving it to you? Is it your car? Her car? Okay?

298
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: And you're just talking about in terms of, you know,

299
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: explaining it to her just for your own knowledge. Yes,

300
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: I mean I got a manual there, prize of you know,

301
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: a telephone book. Sure, yeah, that's a new car and

302
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: that I don't have any knowledge on that. And all

303
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden I go to the well, it takes

304
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: nine parts of oil. Sure, well, you're not gonna work

305
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: on it? No, But my thoughts are all the kids

306
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: live in California. All the kids live in California. So

307
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: if I take off in this land rover, I get

308
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: across Nebraska down to Salt Lake City, all the way

309
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: in California. If we break down, who's going to work

310
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: on it? Well? There, that is a question isn't it.

311
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not being a wise guy. It's listen to

312
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: be honest with the quirky. You're better rough not knowing anything.

313
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: You better reforming a relationship with either a real good

314
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: mechanic or or the range Rover dealership, because you've got

315
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: to understand what you've got there. You've got a You've

316
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: got a real pedigreed thoroughbread. That vehicle is very exact,

317
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: and its demands and very exact, and it's it's it's

318
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: requirements for maintenance and repair. This is this is you

319
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: know again, don't take offense. You've been working on the

320
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: right brothers and and maybe a couple of World War

321
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: two vintage aircraft. You now have the right you You've

322
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: now got something that makes the Space Shuttle look antiquated

323
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: in your driveway. All right, there's there's there's so much

324
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: computer power on that vehicle and the way things interact

325
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: and modules and and it's just do you own a

326
00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: do you own a computer? By chance? Character professional drummers? Yeah,

327
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't get involved in the Internet. Such a waste

328
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: of time, you know what I mean? Yeah, I listen,

329
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: and here's the sad part, all right, the sad part

330
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: is that technology is forcing you to either deal with

331
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: this or just yeah, you know it's and it's it's sad, man,

332
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: it really is. You know it's. It's it's because there's

333
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: no way anybody could explain that to you. Somebody's gonna

334
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: have to, you know, walk you through it step by step.

335
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: And this is the conversation. Could you imagine if you

336
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: had to go buy a new car and this this

337
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: was the only choice, you wouldn't be driving. That's true.

338
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: And and this is the conversation about how the man's

339
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: kind of forcing everybody to go into self driving cars

340
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: because you know, hey, Corky, you don't have to worry

341
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: about driving or pushing any button, just getting the car

342
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: and talk to it. It'll tell you where you want

343
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, I got a Samny for window, Bengo

344
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: four Party, Cris the Hands of and Neil brushmore Headers

345
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: fight speed over in gear Draft, you know, gear Masters

346
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: out of alcohol California's been to Canada. Yeah, and exactly,

347
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: and the problem becomes to drive the motor homes this

348
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: campaign right, exactly, it's very mechanical. That's what you need. Hey, Quirky,

349
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Good luck to your babe, and

350
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: stay in touch. I'm running any of the car doctor

351
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: brought in any of the car doctor here, welcome back.

352
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 1: Eight nine zero for quirky in Iowa. Um, I think

353
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: that's where that was. That was Iowa. We were we

354
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: were talking about this, Tom and I during the pause,

355
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: and you know, think of the technology that's in that

356
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: range over, think of the technology in any car. All right.

357
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: What I did on my what I did on my

358
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: summer vacation. I said to Tom, what I did this week?

359
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: We were we were off. We had a staycation. It

360
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: was I gotta go back to work. I'm exhausted. But

361
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: we we we did a lot of you know, things

362
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: that you try to get done during the course of

363
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: that moment when you have some time. And we went

364
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: car shopping. We we purchased a new an Indian mly vehicle.

365
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: We purchased a new Ford Explorer this week. And I

366
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: was telling Tom how Monday night coming, the dealership has

367
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: scheduled a five o'clock appointment with us, you know, to

368
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,959
Speaker 1: sit down and explain the workings of the car. And

369
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: Tom said, don't they know who you are? And I said, yeah,

370
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: but the cars in my wife's name and I'm not.

371
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm not getting in the middle of this. And he

372
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: said why not? And I said, and quite frankly, you

373
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: ever teacher wife how to drive? Um, you know, it's like,

374
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to explain to my wife how the

375
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: new car worked because I want I want somebody else

376
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: to explain it to her, because I'm not saying I'm

377
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: all that knowledgeable on eighteen explorer because there's a lot

378
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: of bells and whistles. There's a couple of knobs there

379
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: that I'm going, what does that symbol mean? Because it's

380
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: it gets to be hieroglyphics. Uh, you know. But the

381
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: point is it's gonna take at least an hour, they said.

382
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: They said, plan at least an hour up to an

383
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: hour and a half to pick up the vehicle and

384
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: get your explanation, your tutorial. You gotta be kidding me.

385
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: You know, whatever happened to the days of I'm here

386
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: right the check and out the door. Uh. It's so

387
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: there's a lot of technology in new cars. There's a

388
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of procedures, there's a lot of programming and and

389
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: and you know, they said, it has SYNC three and

390
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: we've got to connect the phone to the to the

391
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, to the to the dashboard and how we

392
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: get music, and it's overwhelming to a point. And then

393
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: what happens when it stops? Um, fifteen minutes before show today,

394
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: and the computer has been giving me a problem. My my, my,

395
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: the there's a computer here in studio that, um, we

396
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: just used for paperwork and it died and it's been

397
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: it's been doing this off and on. It goes into

398
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: this weird reboot and it's going to get a new computer.

399
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: But the point becomes, you know, technology, you know, when

400
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: does it fail? You never know, and that's and that's

401
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: part of the problem. And we've come to depend upon

402
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: it and automobiles. So um, you know, just I'll let

403
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: you know how the tutorial goes after Monday. Um. Actually,

404
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: it's smart that you're doing that, because then it's somebody

405
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: else's problem if it doesn't work, well, it's you know, tom,

406
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: it becomes it becomes a case of you know, sometimes

407
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: sometimes it's kind of like they don't let a doctor

408
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: treat his family, right if somebody gets sick. It's hard

409
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: to explain new cars to to you know, especially to

410
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: the wife unit. It just doesn't it just doesn't work.

411
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: It's you know you you answer the questions when they

412
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: ask you don't you don't explain from the beginning. It's

413
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: it's and frankly, I'm not a percent on the car.

414
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: I want to get some knowledge out of it too.

415
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: I want to see what they have to say. But

416
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,239
Speaker 1: the point is, can you imagine come pick up your

417
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: new car. It's gonna take at least an hour, up

418
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: to an hour and a half for explanation of how

419
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: everything operates. That's the amount of technology. And I'm sure

420
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: it's longer than that. I'm sure depending upon how computer

421
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: literate some people are aren't um, it could take longer.

422
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: Poor guy like Quirky, the guy doesn't even own a computer,

423
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: and he's he's got more computing power. Think of it

424
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: like this, Quirky has more computing power in the four

425
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: wheels in that car that's in his driveway than he

426
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: has in his house. That's crazy. Email, good afternoon. Run

427
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: to listen to your show every weekend while I mow

428
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: the lawn. For a few years now, usually catching on podcast.

429
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: I never miss a week Thanks for all you do

430
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: to help bring attention to the industry it changes and

431
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: the importance it's changes. I'm sorry, it's changes and the

432
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: importance of protecting where we are going. I have a

433
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: question on tires. My wife has a twelve Chevy Traverse

434
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: LTZ twenty inch wheels with eight two th miles on

435
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: it that need new tires. They're worn low. You used

436
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: to talk about General tires a lot. I'm looking with

437
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: my guy at bridge Stone, Firestone Mastercraft. He can get General,

438
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: but does not work with them often and does not

439
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: have experience with them. The judge by he can get

440
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: me the General tire grabbers. I know there is more

441
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: than the brand to consider. Specific model detail is important,

442
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: but when it comes to brand, all of the things

443
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: being equal, do you still recommend General tires? Yes? Do

444
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: you talk about them less because their sponsorship expired? Does

445
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: something change your opinion? Um? This is from who justin?

446
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: Justin let me speak directly to you, bibe. Um, Their

447
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: sponsorship expired, but it doesn't change my opinion. Their sponsorship

448
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: actually came about because I liked General tires then and

449
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: I like General tires now. As a matter of fact, um,

450
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: we we we we seems like we're selling more General

451
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,239
Speaker 1: tires now, Um, in the last couple of weeks than

452
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: we had prior when they were actually sponsoring the show.

453
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: It just sometimes that's just the way things rotate around.

454
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: But I still like General Tire. I still think they

455
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: are a good product. Um. There are quite a few

456
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: products are quite quite a few good tire companies out there,

457
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: General Cooper Um, I don't think Michelin is what it

458
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: once was. I still think they are a good company,

459
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: and I think some of the up and coming I

460
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 1: think Perelli bridge Stone is still there, and Firestone is there.

461
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say what I always say, uh, justin and

462
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you're gonna get this, I hope

463
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: you do in that in terms of the email in time,

464
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: because I see this was this is about a month ago,

465
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: so I'm neglect I'm falling behind my email pile. Um.

466
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: Is that the most important thing to consider about tire replacement,

467
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: or one of the most important is how current a

468
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: model are you considering? All Right? And I always try

469
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: to tell people it's kind of like buying um, uh,

470
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: you know day old bread. Um, it's old. It's you know,

471
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's not the current model. And if

472
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: you have to, you don't get to it fast enough.

473
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: It goes stale. You want to make sure that you

474
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: buy a current model tire that if a year or

475
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: a year and a half from now, two years from now,

476
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: you can still get another one. Because the way cars

477
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: are made today, all wheel drive tire size is critical

478
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: and even changing a model within a particular tire line.

479
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: You buy a general tire and it's brand A, I'm sorry,

480
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: it's Model A. And then you know a year later

481
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: that model A you need one tire because it needs

482
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: to be replaced. No longer availab when you gotta buy

483
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: model by even buying different models within the same manufacturer

484
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: can show differences in diameter. It becomes a case of

485
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: and not to mention where a right because where diameter

486
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: all that stuff comes into effect. But um, you know

487
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: you want to just be certain you know how new

488
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: of a model is that tire within the line. On

489
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: a side note, I always try to support the brands

490
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: that support you. Thank you justin I really do appreciate

491
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: that knowing that you would not take marketing dollars with

492
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: the properties listening fit for the purpose. Boy, you guys

493
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: should see some of the things we turned down. Um,

494
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: you'd be amazed. And maybe that's why this radio show

495
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,239
Speaker 1: isn't uh, maybe it's why it's not better known, if

496
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: I can say it like that, But yeah, Ron's not

497
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: for sale. I'm always curious when your endorsements change, if

498
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: it's because of your opinion of the product or simply

499
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 1: business changes the time. Justin it's it's business changes, um.

500
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what changes sponsorships more than anything

501
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: if we want to talk about the radio and business

502
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: as long as we're up the subject the cars for

503
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: a second is believe or not. Usually what changes endorsements

504
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: is somebody new comes into the marketing department, some new

505
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: whizband guy with a great idea, and he's gonna take

506
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: the company in a different direction. And we've had a

507
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: few come back as a result of those great guys.

508
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: Funny how the marketing guy doesn't seem to be with

509
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: them any longer. And we've had a few that just um,

510
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, they come back, they talk to us and

511
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: then never pull the trigger again. So that's the business

512
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 1: side of this. But um, rest assured. I'm still up

513
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: here doing my job. I'm trying to bring to you guys,

514
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: all of you, uh, things that I believe in, things

515
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: that I use and uh, that's why when you hear

516
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: me talk about it, I've either used it most of

517
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: the times I have or you know, if it's at

518
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: all possible, or I've I've worked with it enough that

519
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: I have faith in it because I'm just trying to

520
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, Ron's not for sale. I'm interested in European

521
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: on my tires. I know you're businy. I appreciate you

522
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: taking time reading it justin I'm sorry, Madison, Wisconsin. I

523
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: didn't get to it sooner. But that's the deal, kiddo.

524
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: If you can get generals, they're good. Out of the

525
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: out of the three choices you gave me, the bridge Stone,

526
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: the Firestone, and the master Craft. I've heard of master Craft.

527
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: I know they're the cheaper generic line for somebody else.

528
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: I would probably go with the Um again, depending upon

529
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: models bridge Stone or Firestone. I would take either one

530
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: of those two, depending upon which tire um is the

531
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: more current model in that particular line, and also all

532
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: else being equal, treadwear and traction, which are the markers

533
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: that you can find on the tire itself. So I

534
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: hope this gets the adjusting, and good luck mowing the lawn.

535
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: Just think it'll be snow and soon in Wisconsin you'll

536
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: be shoveling it instead. Sorry, buddy, I had to bring

537
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: it up. We should all appreciate the rest of the summer.

538
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm ronding any in the car, doc zero zero, and

539
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm back right after this. Welcome back. We're needing a

540
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: card doctorate by five zero. Let's go over thought to

541
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: Dan in Maryland, Oh, three f three fifty Dan. We

542
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: talked about this truck before. Correct. Yes, this is the

543
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: no radio, no power window vehicle. And I wanted you

544
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: to scan this and you're probably gonna tell me you

545
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: have no fault codes none. Okay, that's good. That's okay.

546
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: Now when you scan it, let me just make sure

547
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: you used you went in specific ear make model, not

548
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: just O b D two. O b D two. I'm sorry,

549
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: that's what I did. Okay, Yeah, that's and I'm sorry

550
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: that's my fault. Maybe I didn't clarify that enough. But

551
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: you want to look at O b D two. Um,

552
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: and this is a good, good, good lesson here for everybody. UM.

553
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: O b D two is an emissions related fault system.

554
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: All right, So let me ask you do you think

555
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: if the radio is not working and the power windows

556
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: aren't working. Is that an emissions problem? Well, I wouldn't

557
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: think so, right, exactly so, And here's a classic example

558
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: of that. This is the difference. Okay O b D

559
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: two information is specifically geared towards emissions, power windows, radio

560
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: manufacturer full So you need you need to go in

561
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: with a scan tool that will read manufacturer specific information.

562
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: And I apologize, I don't recall saying that last week. UM.

563
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: Actually yeah, UM, you know so that that's what you

564
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: want to say. But let me You got a pencil

565
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: and a piece of paper, okay, um, because I wanted to.

566
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: I I actually printed out a sheet for you because

567
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: I was expecting an email from you. Um. And if

568
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: you send me then email, I will send you this.

569
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: But I printed out something UM with regard. I did

570
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: some research on this, and I went back through notes

571
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: and I found a couple of pattern failures in the database. UM.

572
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: Probably the easiest place to start if if if, if

573
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: this is the case, the cluster is is not working

574
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: and the radio and in the power windows don't work.

575
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: I just wanted did we talk about fuses last week

576
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: or the last time we spoke? No, we didn't. Okay,

577
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: Central junction box which is the one inside the vehicle.

578
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: Take a look at fuses thirty three, thirty five and

579
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: forty one, and respectively, those are a fifteen amp, a

580
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: ten amp, a ten amp and a ten amp. So

581
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: the first one is a fifteen am, the rest of

582
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: them are ten And you want to look to see

583
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: do you have voltage on both sides of the fuses.

584
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: But but watch this all right, um, you know, try

585
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: withing them around and you know, do you still have

586
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: do you still have the voltage? What I have seen

587
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: Fords in particular do is they will actually put a

588
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: little burn mark, you know, depending upon the current flow,

589
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: they will put a little burn mark right on the

590
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: spade part of the fuse and it it acts as resistance.

591
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: It's a burn spot, right, and it'll it'll cause all

592
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: sorts of erratic I had a I think it was

593
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: a third twelve now I'm sorry at ten a ten

594
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: f one fifty pick up with a fuel pump problem.

595
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: And wasn't the pump wasn't anything related. It was the

596
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: fuse itself that fed the circuit had a burnt contact

597
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: in the box all right. Now, it got down to

598
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: the point where I could wiggle the fuse and make

599
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: the voltage fluctuate. And I said, all right. I don't

600
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,239
Speaker 1: normally like to just randomly start pulling fuses because I'm

601
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: concerned about the memory resets and losses of of things elsewhere.

602
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: So but in this case, I had no choice. Key off,

603
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: popa fuse, one at a time. Just look at the spade,

604
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: just you know, real quick, Okay, good, put it back in,

605
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: and then one at the time. Go through the list.

606
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: Um the rest of it. You'll see in this conversation

607
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: it talks about checking a couple of grounds. One behind

608
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: the instrument cluster UH. One at the back of the

609
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: UH firewall. I believe it's gonna say, um and the

610
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: left hand kick panel. But you're gonna have to dig

611
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: up and find that where those two particular grounds go.

612
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to take you on that trip here

613
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: on air. Send me an email Ron at Car Doctor

614
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: Show dot com. I'll have these converted to PDF, and

615
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: I'll have all this sent out to you right away. Fantastic, sir,

616
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. You take good care. Let us know

617
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: what happens already, Yes, sir, let's get our omber talk

618
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: to Paul Westport. Uh No, I'll tell you what, Let's

619
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: pull over and take a pause. I didn't realize the time.

620
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: I apologize. Let me go over and pull over and

621
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: take this pause. When I return, we'll go to pull

622
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: up in Westport, Maine right after this. Don't go away.

623
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: But this car is automatic, it's systematic, it's hard, dramatic.

624
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: What's breest lightning? Hey, welcome back, right, name of the car.

625
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: Doctor Listen, I'm gonna talk to Paul. That's Westport, Mass.

626
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: I apologize. Um, I would get my mass in Maine.

627
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: You know they both begin with him. Yeah, that's all right, Main,

628
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: Main's cool too. Yeah, I think it. Man. So it's

629
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: going on, Paul. Um. I got a twenty fifteen four escape,

630
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: and I've been told when you replace the battery, the

631
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: starting battery, I was told to different things. One person

632
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: told me that you have to go in with a

633
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: scan tool and reset the battery life monitor. And then

634
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: another person told me that after you put the battery

635
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: and you leave the car undisturbed for like eight to

636
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: ten hours and it will re learn by itself. Well,

637
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: it sounds like an A S C test. Who's right mechanic,

638
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: A mechanic, B or both? Um, I'm gonna gonna I'm

639
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: gonna vote. I'm gonna say, actually, Dan neither, because well,

640
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: the first guy is probably the closest. I like the

641
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: idea about resetting the BLM Battery life monitor, because that's

642
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: what you have to do on forward products. You have

643
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: to do. You have to use a scan tool, and

644
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: you do have to educate it and tell the computer, hey,

645
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: I changed the battery and let it get used to that,

646
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: and it does affect charge rate. But the second comment

647
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: about eight to ten hours, not, that's not Can you imagine, right, Hey,

648
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: bring the car into the shop on Monday, I'll see

649
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: you Tuesday. We're gonna put a battery in it. Um

650
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: maybe someday, but we're not there yet. So what you

651
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: do need to do is ump through the O B

652
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: D two port the little connector under the dash um

653
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: by the steering wheel. Is use a battery, a battery saver,

654
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: a memory saver. So you know, if you're gonna do this,

655
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: that's clearly a reason to have one of those tools. Um,

656
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: you know, it being a motocraft battery you on the

657
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: car since New paul Um pretty much and it had

658
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: like it's probably the original motocraft battery in there. That

659
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: you purchased knew. I'm assuming it's the same battery, just

660
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, to give you a peace of mind. And

661
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, first we'll have the first, we'll have the

662
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: here's what I think, we'll have the brother in law conversation,

663
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,479
Speaker 1: because they always seem to know more than anybody in

664
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: that If a brother in law said to me, hey,

665
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: my your motocraft battery is good for probably four to

666
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: five years, I would tend to agree with that. The

667
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: motocraft batteries are pretty tough. They seem to last a

668
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: good long time. Um. That being said, the mechanic in

669
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: me will say to you, after the third going on

670
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: fourth winter, I am going to start doing a battery

671
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: load test at least twice a year, which is really

672
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: becoming part of and parcel of that oil change service.

673
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 1: And you know that's it's I had a conversation this morning,

674
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: um with someone I was at the I was at

675
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: the local ford dealer making arrangements for the wife's new rod,

676
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: and I had ordered a few things from the parts department.

677
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: I was talking to a young man who worked at

678
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: the local firestone and we're having a conversation, and I

679
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: looked like a civilian. I wasn't wearing my work clothes,

680
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: and um, you know, he's explaining to me how they're

681
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: surviving now doing oil changes and quick and fast. And

682
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: you know, I was trying to explain to him that

683
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: you ever think that maybe doing battery tests during the

684
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: course of those oil changes might be part of the process.

685
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: And I really kind of got his wheel spinning. So

686
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: things are gonna change. They're gonna change very quickly in

687
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: the coming years. And um, that's the procedure of Paul.

688
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: Thank you. Until the next time, everybody, I'm run an

689
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: any in the car. Doctor, good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

690
00:34:49,760 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: Let's see you set down the end
