Young man came in to drop 32 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: off his car for the first time, and um, John Mark, 33 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: and he was he didn't well, he didn't, he didn't podcast. 34 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: It was kind of weird. He was probably twenty three 35 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: four and he wasn't a podcaster. I was stunned. And UM, 36 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, I'm glad to have him. I maybe I 37 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: misunderstood him, but I'm glad he might be out there 38 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: listening today. Um, and I'm glad to count him and 39 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: his family amongst the listenership now, so we welcome them 40 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: to the Car Doctor family. Drew brought me his two 41 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: thousand six Lexis LX four seventy about two weeks ago. 42 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: Drew is a real smart guy. I always like talking 43 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: to Drew because you know there's you can always tell 44 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: somebody that's going to be successful in life, right, And 45 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: Drew's one of those guys. He's He's the kind of 46 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: guy that walks into a room when you've got a 47 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: fire going, and he'll tell you, hey, the fireplace needs 48 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: to be cleaned because there's just a little bit of 49 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: smoke in the room. And he'll be the one guy 50 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: that notices that, where most people will just say that's normal, 51 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: it's a fire. He has a landscaping company, Magic Gardens 52 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: Landscaping in Allendale, New Jersey. They do some really beautiful 53 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: stuff and from what I understand, Drew actually designs things 54 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: for the backyard right at the top of his head. 55 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: You need you need a waterfall there, you need some 56 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: rock there, you need some flower gardens there. It looks 57 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: like the taj Mahal when he's done. And so he's 58 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: one of those guys that he lays it out in 59 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: his head and then he puts it on paper and 60 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: he makes it work. Right. So he bought this two 61 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: thousand six Lex four seventy Alexis, and before he bought it, 62 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: he said, will you work on this car. Yeah, you 63 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: know cars a car. I mean, I don't get why 64 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: is as well because it's old and it is old. 65 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: I mean it's fifteen years old now right are out, 66 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: so it's it's approaching fifteen years. It's not like it's 67 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: a spring chicken. And um, I said, yeah, I should 68 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: go look at it. I told him what to look for, 69 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 1: and he looked for it, and he bought the car, 70 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: you know, and I don't I don't elaborate the story. 71 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: That's the way it worked. And it showed up at 72 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: the shop and you know, we went through it. And 73 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: one of the things that we were both kind of 74 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: surprised and amazed and disappointed at it all at the 75 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: same time is what some of the parts cost for 76 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: this Lexus from Lexus. It's insane, all right. The car 77 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: needed rear hatch pistons. The rear hatch pistons, the two 78 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: little things that hold the rear deck lit up. From Lexus. 79 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: We're a hundred and ninety dollars apiece in the aftermarket, 80 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: and you know, decent quality in the aftermarket, nothing terrible. 81 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: They work there. They've got a lifetime guarantee and he'll 82 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: get four years out of him five years out of him. 83 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure, if not longer. They were fifty four dollars. 84 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: You know, when you sit there and you say huh. 85 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: And we did breaks, and we did some Americ conditioning 86 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: work and a couple of other things, and we got 87 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: all done, and we're standing at the counter talking. We're, 88 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: you know, closing business. And I said, Drew, I gotta ask. 89 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:41,799 Speaker 1: I said, you know why? And he said because, he said, 90 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: when you look at an older car, he says, he actually, 91 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: he said, I'm not telling the whole story, right, He said, 92 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of got this from you. He said, 93 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: you always talk about how you know the older car 94 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: because you've been through the technology once or twice or 95 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,239 Speaker 1: ten times or a hundred times, because they've all failed. 96 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: And he says, I figured, if I'm gonna have something fail, 97 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: I might as well have some thing I like I'm 98 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: comfortable in. You might as well. You could fix, you know, 99 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: a Toyota Corolla or Alexis Alex for seventy at least uncomfortable. 100 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: It's a luxury car, he says, you know the technology. 101 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: And he goes and it's a heck of a lot cheaper. 102 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: You know, He's right, And and I've said this, and 103 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: I know he's right, but it's just to make the 104 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: point that he really is right and it really does 105 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: make sense. I think we ended up putting I'm gonna 106 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: say bucks in the car initially, all right, and a 107 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: vehicle that's got I forget the mileage what it had 108 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: on it did have a hundred or a hundred and fifty, 109 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: it didn't matter. It's a. It's a and their tanks, 110 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: these cars, they've got their quirks. There's some things that 111 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: we don't want to break. We don't want the hydraulic 112 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: suspension system to fail because that'll make your un screaming 113 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,799 Speaker 1: from the room, you know, four or five tho dollars 114 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: to fix. I hope Drew doesn't listen to this broadcast. 115 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: And here that part, we'll hear a scream go up 116 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: in Allendale, New Jersey, will be a puff of smoke 117 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: around the Magic Gardens landscaping and be like poof um. 118 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: But yet it's still cheaper than the new car, because 119 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: that Alex forced seventy to buy new. Oh probably every 120 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: bit of sixty five dollars, you know, pay ten grand 121 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: for the used car. Put another to three thousand in it, 122 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: put a couple of grand a year in it over 123 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: the core. Put a couple of put a grand into 124 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: a year for the next five years for under twenty grand. 125 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: You've been driving this Lexus for the past five years 126 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: and what do you got? So um, just something to 127 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: think about. The technology is a little bit cheaper sometimes 128 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: to purchase as it gets older, and you might be 129 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: better off in the long run. Let's kick the garage 130 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: doors open. Let's get over to Victoria in Wisconsin, twelve 131 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: Town and Country and some problems with the air conditioning. Victoria, 132 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor. How can I help? Hello? Well, hello, handsome, 133 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: thank oh, thank you, darling Mikey. I didn't I didn't 134 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: know that it's gonna be that kind of a show today. Well, 135 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: so I guess I have a two thousand and twelve 136 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: Town of Country, right, and I had the air conditioning replaced, 137 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: and ever since I have When I start the car 138 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: up in the morning and I turned the air on, 139 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: it sounds like an October Fest horn, but just like 140 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: a blast. And then it's gone. And I've taken the 141 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: car back to the people who put it in and 142 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: they can find nothing. They kept it all day, but 143 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: it's when I'm driving it now down the road, it's 144 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: getting worse. Does it does it? Does it make the 145 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: noise for them? No? No, so they never heard the 146 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: noise or so they've never heard it. No. No, I'm 147 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: hoping you can tell me, go tell them this. Well, 148 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: my first question is, and it's it's only when you 149 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: start out in the morning. No. Now, it's doing it 150 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: just periodically when I turn the air and I'm driving, 151 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: you know, down the road, and and it just like 152 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: like an october Fest horn, because obviously you've got to 153 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: get them to hear it. That's that's that's step one. Now, 154 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: it's only when the air conditioning is on. Yes, okay, 155 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: And what part of the air conditioning? Did they change? 156 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: The compressor? Oh? Goodness, I think the whole thing, the 157 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: whole thing would be kind of crazy, Like why would 158 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: you know the whole thing is? That's quite a bit. Um, 159 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: you know, maybe it was the compressor then, I mean 160 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: it was This has been a year and a half ago, 161 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: so summer before now so so so I think it 162 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: quest me like four hs maybe would that be a compressor? Um? 163 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: Not in New Jersey? Uh, in New Jersey, you know, 164 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: in New Jersey. I think it's written into the by 165 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: laws that the state budget doesn't allow air conditioning repairs 166 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: to be down for under a thousand dollars. But that's 167 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: just New Jersey, you know, we're the Garden State, the 168 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: land of so many opportunities. Um uh, you know if 169 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: it's only there with the air conditioning on, right, And 170 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: that's what you're saying. And the compressor was replaced, and 171 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: it was four, and I gotta think it's no more 172 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: than six? Okay, six? Six? Do I hear eight? Four 173 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: or six? I here? Um, I would tell you it's 174 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: got to be a fault in the air conditioning compressor. 175 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: It's as simple as that. Are these are these guys? 176 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: You're regular? Are these guys you're regular mechanics? It's yeah, 177 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: they they one of them. I've kind of switched because, 178 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I took it there. I was like, how 179 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: can you not hear this? I left the van there 180 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: all day and they still couldn't they let it run. 181 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: But I'm thinking maybe I should take it there and 182 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: let them start it up in the morning and let 183 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: him have it all the night. Well, why don't you, 184 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: Why don't you, It's the first thing, Why don't you 185 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: parking on their lot and come back in the morning 186 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: with the key. I know it's a pain in the butt, 187 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: but you know, hey, listen, I'm parking my car here tonight. 188 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: I'll see you in the morning. And we're and we're 189 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: and we're going to go for a rod, you and 190 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: I and we're gonna listen to this noise, okay. And 191 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: now it's yeah, And now it's happening more. It's happening 192 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: more than it used to be. Just once or twice 193 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: and they'd be done, and now it's like six seven times. 194 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: That's because the w that's that's because the warranty is 195 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: running out. As you get closer to the end the warranty, 196 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: the problem manifests itself. It's a proportionate response. Um, you know, 197 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: that's that's just that's just the way it works. That's 198 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: like babies come at three in the morning and the 199 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: car never has gas in the tank, And as the 200 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: warranty comes to a close, that's usually just before or 201 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: after the part explodes. So it's you know, that's that's 202 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: the WORRNT out indicator. At least you know when it's 203 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: coming so well. And I think they changed the compressor 204 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: from the way you're describing it, And yeah, I would, 205 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: I would tell you. And if it's only there with 206 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: the with the A C on for that matter, unplugged 207 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: the compressor electrically, tell them, all right, turn the air 208 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: conditioning on. The compressor won't come on, but maybe some 209 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: of the other controls will. At least, you know, it 210 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do electrically. It may or may 211 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: not be a good test, but at least it's a 212 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: starting point. You know. Sometimes you got to start to 213 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: eliminate things. And and and I'm lazy, as the older 214 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: I get. I like to eliminate the easy things. What 215 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: did I touched last? What was the last thing I did? 216 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: I you know, I kind of went through this on 217 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: my suburban. I had replaced belts and idler pulleys and 218 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: water pumps and all sorts of me nasty, ugly things. 219 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: And the first cold day, about two months later, the 220 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: first cold day, the car would do all the time, 221 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: it sounded like it sounded like an air raid siren. 222 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: So or Tom Ray when he gets his when he 223 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: runs over his foot when he buy his car by mistake. 224 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: And you know, I kept going through it in my head, 225 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: and I said, you know. I bet you the belts 226 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: are singing and talking to me. I took off the 227 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: A C compressor belt and sure enough the noise went away, 228 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: and I put it. I put a different brand A 229 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: C compressor belt on the car's fact, so it wouldn't 230 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: be a hose that's getting like squeezed off or something. 231 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: Why anytime somebody says could it be this could be? That? 232 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: Tell me why? You know? Because because of the horn noisy, 233 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: I mean, it just sounds like it's like it's holding 234 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: air and then that like like somebody's blowing through a horn. Well, 235 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: could they have Did they have to take apart the 236 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: air cleaner duct as part of putting the A C 237 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: compressor in? So let's say, yes, okay they did. Then 238 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: maybe they assembled the air cleaner duct drone if that's possible, 239 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: And would that would that sometimes make it? Yeah? Sure 240 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: absolutely a matter of fact, early early four it's two 241 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: thousand one too. Three grandmar Keys, Crown fix All did that. 242 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: They made it was like a moose call, and they 243 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: had a problem with the way the air box is 244 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: being assembled, and they would make that noise. It was 245 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: like a fog horn moose call, kind of a noise um. 246 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: So yeah, the air compress, the the the air cleaner assembly. 247 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: If they had to take the air in the air 248 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,359 Speaker 1: cleaner assembly or Duck's apart to do the A C compressor, 249 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: maybe it's not assembled properly. Okay, but now listen, I 250 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: got I gotta warn you, Vicky. I don't have too 251 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: much hope for these guys because it's been a year 252 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: and a half and they keep blowing you off like 253 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: it's you know, like they can't fix it or they 254 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: don't want to fix it.

Let's 285 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: go over and talk to Phil on too from Vermont. 286 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: Philcome to the car doctor, sir, how can I help hi? Ron? 287 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: Listen to your show all the time, and you've been helpful. 288 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: I have got a two thousand eleven GMC pick up 289 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: six point leader, got thirty five thousand miles on it, 290 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: and ever since it was new, it had a hundred 291 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: miles on it when I got it. The thing, when 292 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: you first set it up, it runs rough, and then 293 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: it smoothed out a little bit, but it never smoothed 294 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: out completely. And I had it to three different dealers 295 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: and they couldn't find nothing. They said there was One 296 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: of them said there was a bulletin on it and 297 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: it called for a deep throttle body clean and they 298 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: did that and they said there's no codes, no nothing. 299 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: So I can have my I was gonna say, Phil, 300 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: is it a resonance that you feel it through the 301 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: steering wheel or or is it a shake that you 302 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: feel in the seat of your pants. No, I kind 303 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: of feel it in the staring wheel. But I can 304 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: have my water bottle when the console and the thing 305 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: will be vibrating quite a bit. Okay, Um, we got 306 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: to look outside the box right now? Is the is 307 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: the problem? Is the problem there only when you started 308 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: and then it goes away after a while. Um, Well, 309 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: quite often when I'll start it up, I'll just sit 310 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: there and listen to it, and it does that. And 311 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: then when I arrived at where I'm gone, I'll see 312 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: if it's still there. And it's still there. But when 313 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: I'm driving, it's got tons of power. And yeah, you 314 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: don't feel it when you're driving. It's just the idol, 315 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,359 Speaker 1: is it? Is it a matter of when you started, 316 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: you know, it'll it'll vibrate, it shakes, you know, does 317 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: it change when you put it in gears at that 318 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: same roughness to it? Yeah, it's still the same roughness. 319 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: So you know, the questions become and you know, we're 320 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna go down the rabbit hole with this one 321 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of possibilities. But if if it's 322 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: duplicate herble and we you know, we can we can 323 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: see it, feel it here it happened. First thing, you know, 324 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: we want to look at basics. We want to obviously, 325 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: and I'm sure the dealership did this, and I just 326 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: want to mention it. But you know, first things first 327 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: that we went through bulletins and we went through potential 328 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: reflashes for the vehicle. Are there any flash or software 329 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: updates for it? All? Right? Just to get that off 330 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: the table if they didn't mention that. Okay, So that's 331 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: step one. You know, let's let's go through basics number one, 332 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: number two. On a vehicle like this um in eleven. 333 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: Take a look at does that have a plow on it? Phil? 334 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: By chance it does, okay? So when did they put 335 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: the plow on that came was it? Okay? But was 336 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: that installed at the dealer or is it it had 337 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 1: to be installed at the dealer, know the dealer, The 338 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: dealer had it installed. But it was at the dealer 339 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: when I right, But I'm saying it didn't come from 340 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: the factory that way, correct, all right? Humor me all right, 341 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: and don't ask how I know this, But I've been 342 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: down this road. All right, lift the hood. Look at 343 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: the passenger side cylinder head all right, there should be 344 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, is a G one oh three, 345 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: G one oh three or G one oh four ground 346 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: one O three one oh four. There's a heavy cylinder 347 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: because the batteries on the passenger side. Correct, I have 348 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: two batteries, but but the primary batteries on the passenger side. 349 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: The other one, the other one is in the driver 350 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: side front corner. Yeah, right right right. The ground for 351 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: that one battery is at the front front of the 352 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: cylinder head on the right side. I don't know what, 353 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: I don't know why they do it, but every snowplow 354 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: guy I've ever seen also ties into that round for 355 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: the snow plow. And sometimes they don't exactly tighten it, 356 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: you know, they don't. They don't put it back together 357 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: the right way. Or I even had one where the 358 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: where the ground strap was left on top of the 359 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: intake and it would make an intermittent connection and the 360 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: car started, but it never really ran right. What I 361 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: want to get to is check all the vehicle grounds 362 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: and make sure all the vehicle grounds are good, clean 363 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: and tight. Pay attention to that one in the front 364 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: corner of the cylinder head last, And I want you 365 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: to do this and call me back. Have your mechanic 366 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: look at it when it's called when it's running rough. 367 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: Does anything come up as far as misfires on a 368 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: scan tool, not that it's setting a code, but do 369 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: we see physical misfires? Do those three things called me back. 370 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm on a any of the car doctor, We'll be 371 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: back right after this broke it back or on a 372 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: NAT to the Car Doctor. You know, I don't know 373 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: where this show is going today, but there's so much 374 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes today. It's going right down here, 375 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: it's going right downhill. But we're just trying to fix cars, 376 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: and that's what this is all about. So holy smokes, Rick, 377 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: I got I got a few more left in me 378 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: today before Tom and Mikey kill me. So how can 379 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: I help you up there in Vermont with your rest ten? Yeah, listen, 380 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: I'm a tram plant from New Jersey, Middlewich County. When 381 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: I live in Vermont, I got an S ten Blazer 382 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: eight S eighty seven that I'm used to back in 383 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: the day in the sixties, I used to build fifty 384 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 1: five chevies and seven. I got a two point eight 385 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: standard two wheel drive AS ten Blazer that I'm trying 386 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: to rebuild like blor out of Savannah, Georgia, because it's 387 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 1: perfect no drive trains. I put a drive training out 388 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: of one of my uh five other rest times, and 389 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: I'm putting a clutch back in it. I put the 390 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: clutch at the slave cylinder, and now I got problems 391 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: with the the firewall where the much put into the 392 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: firewall cylinder underneath the reservoir trank on it, are not 393 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: trank for them? Um? Uh where the slave cylinder works 394 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: out of? And uh, I'm having no luck with it. 395 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: The brand new slave cylinder in the clutch. Um and uh, 396 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out where am I gonna have? 397 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: You think that might probably need one in the firewall 398 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: and ripped that old firewall thing out. Well, let's let's 399 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: pack up a second rick. So so you've got you know, 400 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: you put in a fresh V six fresh clutch, a 401 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: new slave and is this a conversion? Are you converting 402 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: an automatic s tend to a stick? It was a 403 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: Fox speed off the floor. Okay, so it was a 404 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: So you're just you're just replacing with the existing, like 405 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: with life. I'm restoring it. Okay, I get killed to 406 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: a place for it. Okay, So so you're just But 407 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: so you put a clutch in a in an in 408 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 1: an S ten blazer. You know it's not the you're 409 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: refabricating or creating something. You're working with what the factory 410 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: put it into factory system. Yeah, but but I just 411 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: took it out of another What I did is it's 412 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: cheaper to buy a whole S ten Blazer. Sure, And 413 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: I found another one that with a four door. I 414 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 1: ripped it all apart, I took everything out of it, 415 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: and it's it's it's a two point eight standard. Uh 416 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: you think I changed with the drive shaft, and uh, okay, 417 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: but my, but my, but my question, my question, and 418 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: my point is that it's you originally had a five 419 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: speed vehicle. You're putting same five speed components back in, 420 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: and now you've got a fresh clutch in it with 421 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: a slave and you're trying to tell me something. I 422 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: think you're trying to tell me that the clutch won't bleed. 423 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: You can't get a clutch pedal, right, I can't get 424 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: I can't get it to work. Okay, So you just 425 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: can't get a pedal no matter how much you try 426 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: and bleed the system. So I think it's the the 427 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: unit in the firewall. Well before we go there, all right, 428 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: tell me how you're trying to bleed it. Tell me 429 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: how you're trying to bleed it down underneath on the 430 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: new slave cylinder put in in the trans right right, 431 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: And what are you doing. You're opening the bleeders, stroking it, 432 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: closing or closing it and opening it. And okay, let's 433 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: let's try this, all right? Is that slave cylinder on 434 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: the trans and I'm trying to remember is that at 435 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: a bit of an angle or is that straight? It's 436 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: at an angle right on the trans okay? And is 437 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: the is the is the clutch master? Is it a 438 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: separate clutch master for the clutch or is it part 439 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: of the break master with a separate reservoir. It's a 440 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: separate reservoir. Okay, but it's and it's its own hydraulic unit, right, 441 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: it's its own catch master. Okay, I remember this? So 442 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: I say again, a part place, uh, a local parts place, uh, change, 443 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: you know, And they said, I got to go to 444 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: the dealer and get it. What's that? Or I gotta 445 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: go to the jounkyard to find another one? What's that 446 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: the master? Not we'll see, We'll send you out to 447 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: the brake pedal system and uh and it had to 448 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: all if it's on a whole com well, before you 449 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: do that and a break. Before you do that, I'm 450 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 1: gonna tell you to go out to oraillyoto dot com 451 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: and see what Orailey otoport says. But regardless, before we 452 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: go there, have you tried gravity bleeding this? If you 453 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: open up that bleed or put a drip pan underneath 454 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: it and keep the master full. Does it drip fluid? 455 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. You can try that, Okay, that's number one. 456 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: Number two. Um, if you were around in the sixties, 457 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: you might have seen this. You ever bleed breaks with 458 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: a hypodermic syringe? No, all right, and I've done I've 459 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: done too many break jobs, right, yeah, yeah, I had 460 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 1: my fifty five be my fifty seven station wagon when 461 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: I used to race the down English Town and back 462 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: back in the day stock and anyway, I had things 463 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: like that. I had to do it, you know. Anyway, alright, 464 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: so just follow follow me. Ricket's only a one hour show. 465 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: So if you go out to the local odor parts store, 466 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: all right, or you'll find it online. Just I've seen 467 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: him on eBay. There's still out there in various places. 468 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: Are And yeah, you want you want a hypodermic bleeder 469 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: where it's that large bleeder looks like a hypodermic needle, 470 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: but it's large. It's got a rubber tip on it. 471 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: Fill it with brake fluid, purge the air out of it, 472 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, hold it up just like a doctor holding 473 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: up in the air. Squirt out the fluid and open 474 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: up the bleeder and force the fluid in. You don't 475 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: have to. It's not a mad rush because you don't 476 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: want to go fast anyway, you'll aer rate it. And 477 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: it's it almost becomes a two person operation. If one 478 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: person is pushing the fluid in at the bleeder and 479 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: another person's watching at the master with the it off, 480 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: you might actually see the bubbles start to slowly, you know, 481 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: come out, because it's very possible this cylinder is air 482 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: bound and reverse reverse. And that's about it. But I 483 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: heard you the other week and then trying to call, 484 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: and I finally got into you during a week. I 485 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: left the message and and I got on and I'm 486 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: still working on. I want to get the thing running. 487 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: The weather finally got good after all the rat and 488 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: I won't want to take it out on the road 489 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: a little bit. But that's like I can't dry, I 490 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: can not have a clutch. No, you gotta have a clutch. 491 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: But that's that's how I would approach it. I would. 492 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: I would take it from that perspective, you know, just 493 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: before we go and change components, let's try bleeding everything 494 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: and let's see what it does. You know, and it's 495 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: it's it's first, I would try a gravity bleed. Second, 496 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: I would do a hypodermic bleed. Last, all right, you 497 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: may find and I'm trying to remember the exact angle 498 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: of the clutch master. If the clutch master is pointed down, 499 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 1: sometimes raising the nose of the vehicle on those vehicles, 500 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: some of them were raising the nose allows the air 501 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: trapped at the very bottom to push its way out 502 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: and blip out of the top of the master. Overnight, 503 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: so you know, lifted up on jack stands, put it 504 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: in an extreme angle, support it. Don't leave it up 505 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 1: on the jack overnight without jack stands, and see what 506 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: that does for you in the morning. One of those 507 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: three I would try. I would try all three. One 508 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: of those three may work for you prior to just 509 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: changing the clutch master. Do that? Call me back a 510 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 1: five zero zero running needing the car doctor coming back 511 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: right after this.

I 535 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: think I think the person that invented split air conditioning 536 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: was a woman, right that it's you know that that 537 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: this side of the car can be hot, and this 538 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 1: side of the car can be called because the was 539 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: in nineteen forty nine. You couldn't do that in nineteen 540 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: forty nine. You have to reach across the husband, probably 541 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: smack him in the head and say, hey, turn on 542 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: the heat or turn off the heat one or the other. 543 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: But um, I just you know.

So Dr mccannn called me from from 547 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 1: London or from England this week and the phone rang 548 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: and uh, you call her. I d came up thout 549 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: of lines and I don't know if it was a 550 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: prank or spam or what, but I picked it up. 551 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: It was. It was Richard. So we're talking and I 552 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: said to him, just out of curiosity, I didn't know 553 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: the answer to this, and I'm always curious how somebody 554 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: either finds the shop or how somebody finds the radio 555 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: show that kind of thing. And he said, oh, don't 556 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: you know, And I said, go ahead, and he said, well, 557 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: there's a bar and I went, oh, no, I said, 558 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: let me finish this story and he said yeah, And 559 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 1: I said, there's a bar in South London. He says, yeah, pub, right, 560 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: a pub if we're in England, right in the land 561 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: of grog, and you know, knights and shining armor and 562 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: Lancelot and whatever else they got and warm beer. And 563 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: I've I've told this story on air and I've never 564 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: really gotten confirmation that I remember, but this was confirmation. 565 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: He said, Yeah, there's a pub in South London on 566 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: Friday night that advertises warm beer and the Car Doctor 567 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: and they play the radio show and they sit around 568 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: drinking warm beer they talk about their cars, and he said, 569 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: and then this is the best part, he said, And 570 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: then on Saturday and Sunday we try working on our 571 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: cars and we all call each other saying what would 572 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: Ron do? And somebody always inevitably says Ron would set 573 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: it on fire. So, because after the third attempt, you're out, um, 574 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: which you know maybe, I mean, that's so we've got 575 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: to take a road trip. I think it would be 576 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: so funny, you know, I could get the name of 577 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: the pub and we'll just show up there and do 578 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: the radio show live from London. That would be hysterical. 579 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: They wouldn't know what was going on. They it would 580 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: be like so surreal. Um, But I just you know, 581 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: Tom I talked about it all the time on a 582 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: on a personal note, we we kind of get into 583 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: this how big is the radio show? It's is it 584 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: just this little you know? Or isn't it? And I 585 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: keep saying that, Tom, I said, we're gonna find that 586 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: one day. I said, not anytime soon, but someday we're 587 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: gonna announce retirement and then we're gonna find out what it's. 588 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: You know, what's really here and what's not here? And um, 589 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: you just don't know. And that's why, in all honesty, 590 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: I take the radio show, you know what, We've always 591 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: taken it serious. And we're always here to help and 592 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: we're always here to try and fix your problem because 593 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: it's by the grace of God that we're here, and 594 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: we enjoy doing it, and we really ultimately we have 595 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: a lot of last but we enjoy helping people.

And while I may have seen it, 658 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: maybe the other guy hasn't. But they explained it well. 659 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: It's title Chattering Pathfinder Transmissions or precision machinery that do 660 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: like contamination in their fluid. A small amount of contamination 661 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: will cause issues. Short Track community member Neil had a 662 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: two thousand five Nissan Pathfinder in the shop for the 663 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: transmission with chatter or highway speed. They put the question 664 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: out of the community. With a helpful other fellow members, 665 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: Training Man one and others, they were able to resolve 666 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: the problem quickly and it's described as follows two thousand 667 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: five Nissan Pathfinder four leader chatters at a kilometers. So 668 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: I guess this was probably maybe overseas or Canada on 669 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: the highway because they are a national international company. That's 670 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 1: what's so cool about it. And they ended up replacing 671 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: the transmission and cooler. But here was the diagnostic steps. 672 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: Trans fluid was changed recently and the customer had a 673 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: lowed electrical wine from the trans control module. The fluid 674 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: was good. They thought it was a trans issue and 675 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: what they ended up getting responses of just because they 676 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: talked about how it's it's slips and chattered. Um best 677 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: dancewer came from Training Man when he said, most of 678 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: these I've seen the trans cooler inside the radiator ruptures, 679 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: which they do the radiator actually causes the transmission to fail. 680 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: The cooler in the radiator goes bad, contaminates the trans 681 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: fluid with cooling, and as he as training man puts it, 682 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: even if you flush them, you can't get them to 683 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: quite quit shuddering. So check that the fluid is good 684 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 1: with either test trips or a glycol contamination. And then 685 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: even if at least then I like this. This is 686 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: the simple test, right, Get a metal spoon, put some 687 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: fluid in it, get a lighter heated up. If it 688 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 1: has a lot of glycol in it, it will boil 689 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: before the fluid will get hot enough to ignite. Right, 690 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: because you know coolant will boil before trans fluid ignites. 691 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,879 Speaker 1: Transfluid as a higher evaporation point. Regardless of most of these, 692 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: get a shutter have black coal contamination on a side note, 693 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: if the radiator is ruptured, replaced the trans, replace the radiator, 694 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,399 Speaker 1: transfluid contaminated with coolant. Correction was they put a trans 695 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: and radiatorate? I've seen this. If you're driving that generation 696 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: Pathfinder Nissan product four or five, six seven, you really 697 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: got to get a look. You got high mileage on it. 698 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 1: You're all proud of your vehicle. Think about doing a 699 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: radiator before it failed, because if it does, that radiator 700 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: just became a six thousand dollar transmission. So the price 701 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: you save maybe your own until the next time I'm 702 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: modinating in the car. Doctor, good mechanics aren't expensive. Get priceless.
