8
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: needs a trans and there isn't one available for anywhere

9
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: from eight to ten weeks. No release date, and Sight

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: can't give us an approximate shift date, can't tell us

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: if and when. On top of which, it's eight grand

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: to put a trans in an eight year old escape.

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: What do you do? The car Doctor? I pulled the

14
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: master cylinder away from the booster and it didn't change anything.

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm kind of at a loss as to where to

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: go next. Does this have the break proportion shoting valve

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: in the rear above the axle the load compensating valve, No,

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: it does not. It has the proportioning valve in the front.

00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: so um, you know, just kind of rolling along, but

Speaker 1: here to do it. Got a bunch of stories, A

36
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: bunch of great things happened in the shop this week,

37
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of good solid fixes, um, a bunch of challenges,

38
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of a bunch of things happened. It's we're

39
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: gonna talk about that and then a couple of hours,

40
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: so you want to stick around. I want to start

41
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: off this week though, talking about the chattering Honda. I

42
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: don't know where else to start, but to call it that,

43
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: we had a a long time customer recommends somebody to

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: bring their car to the shop. Uh. And this person

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: came from Montalk, Long Island. If you're familiar with the

46
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: way where we are, we're we're in North Jersey based.

47
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: And um, this person came to us from Montalk, which

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: is about a two and a half three hour ride,

49
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: probably six with traffic. Uh, you know during the week. Um,

50
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: it's just it's a hall, right, it's not around the corner.

51
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: And and Sebastian brought men to c RV with a

52
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: concern that he was told he needed a transmission it

53
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: basically had it was creating a problem with the car

54
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: where the car would shake and you know, go through

55
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: these violent motions. And you know, he just wanted a

56
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: second opinion. Something in his sixth sense, whatever you want

57
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: to call it, spidy sense was up and he said,

58
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: you know it's before I put what could be four

59
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: to five thousand dollars into this eight year old vehicle,

60
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: let me go what this sounds familiar. It seems like

61
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: a lot of transmission problems lately. Let me get a

62
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: second opinion. How he comes, leaves me the car and

63
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: I go through. Listen, I still diagnosed the same way

64
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: I talked to you about it. Here, tell me what's good.

65
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: Tell me what's good. I'll tell you what's bad. I

66
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: got a great story about an international that I can

67
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: tell you about two. I might bring that up this hour,

68
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: so you know. I went through the basics first of all,

69
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: where do we go scan it for codes? It was

70
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: nothing in there clean. Trans fluid level was good, and

71
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: not that I assumed the trans was bad or the

72
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: trans was the problem, but he mentioned trans. And I

73
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 1: do look at fluids on a diagnostic car, even though

74
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: you know a lot of times it's not necessary, but

75
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: it's good to know. Hey, what if you go out

76
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: on a road test and you're out road testing something

77
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: for any one of a multiple bunch of different conditions

78
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: and it's low on oil and the engine runs out

79
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: of oil while you're driving it, you gotta gotta know,

80
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: you you know, if a car, if it's a car

81
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: you've never seen. I look at fluid levels before I

82
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: take something out. Trans fluid was good in this cap

83
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: had a bit of a stank to it though. Um

84
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: kind of reminded me from that scene in Hollywood Nice

85
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: where it's got a little bit of whang in it,

86
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: because it had a real sharp odor to it that

87
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: just it wasn't burnt, but you could tell that it

88
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: was old trans fluid. It really was. So I went

89
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: out on the road test and I couldn't get it

90
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: to act up. This this car ran absolutely fine. It

91
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: didn't do anything wrong. If if you put me in

92
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: this car, you know, I always look at it. If

93
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: you put me in the car, well, I noticed the problem.

94
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: Does it take something special? You know, do I have

95
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: to do? I have to you know, stand on my head,

96
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: spitwooden nickels and rub my belly button counter clockwise, you know,

97
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: chanting something. But no, you know, this car, just this

98
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: car road great. I went back to the shop. I

99
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: thought about it. Texted Sebastian. We text now, and he

100
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: start did to describe a condition by which it was

101
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: a little more precise. It's it's it's gotta be. It

102
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: starts at thirty five and forty miles an hour. It

103
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: seems to be. This is somewhere, it's somewhere in that

104
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: in that range of what's happening happens. So I went

105
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: back out on the road and I started to drive differently.

106
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: You know, I tend to have a little I'm not

107
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: saying I've got a heavy foot, but I just I

108
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: drive like me. So I started to drive differently. I've

109
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: got a couple of different I got a couple of

110
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: different personalities in me, and I brought out the little

111
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 1: old lady personality, you know, the little light on the foot,

112
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: you know, easy on the gas. Um, you know, can

113
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: I hang the car at thirty five and get anything

114
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: weird to happen? And I did. All of a sudden,

115
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: this car, you know, it's very timely for a Halloween show,

116
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: because all of a sudden, this car acted like it

117
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: was haunted. At thirty five miles an hour, this car

118
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: felt like it was running over a washboard road. Driving

119
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: down the road. I bet that's a converter. I bet

120
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: we're going into lock up or overdrive, whatever we want

121
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 1: to call it on this particular car. Tap the brake, pedal,

122
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: it stops. Hey, look at that, it's fixed. You just

123
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: gotta ride the break. Um. No, in reality, I knew

124
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: what to do. I went back and uh, you know,

125
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: I took another whiff of that trans fluid, and I

126
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: made my decision. I called up Sebastian, I said, I

127
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: put the trans fluid in this car has never been changed.

128
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, how did you know that? And I said, well,

129
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: I said number one, it's it's just by the way

130
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: it smells. You know, it had It wasn't dark, it

131
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: wasn't super dirty in that sense, but you know, it

132
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: had a It had a It didn't have suppleness to it.

133
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: It didn't have a good feel, you know, old school mechanics,

134
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: thumb and fore finger rubbing it. Just you know, how

135
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: does it feel? Does it feel good? Feeling tells you

136
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: a lot. I think nothing scientific about it other than

137
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: just common sense and you know your gibbs gut instinct.

138
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: He said, no, it's original trans fluid. I said, well,

139
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,559
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna change the trans

140
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: fluid twice. We're gonna run three quarts through, We're gonna

141
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: drain it out, rub three quarts through it, and then

142
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: fill it up and add four courts to it or

143
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: whatever it takes to fill it up. And then you're

144
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: gonna drive the car and you may find that the

145
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: problem goes away. Because I've had this experience with Honda.

146
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: I've had this experience with Toyota, specifically those two car

147
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: lines where the fluid gets worn out, their additive package there,

148
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: their viscosity, their suppleness, whatever you want to refer to

149
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: it as they just it just gets worn out. It

150
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: just gets worn flat. I said, here's the dangers, all right.

151
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: Number one, we're putting fresh trans fluid into an automatic

152
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: transmission that may ultimately cause its failure. And his response

153
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: was correct. He said, well, it's already failed. I said, exactly.

154
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: I said, We're gonna put fresh trans fluid in this

155
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: vehicle and it may not fix anything, and it may

156
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: not fail. It just maybe that we spent you know,

157
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: double what we would normally do on a trans service,

158
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: a couple of three four llars whatever it was, and

159
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: we'll end up with the same problem and you still

160
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: have to put a transmission in it. He said, no

161
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: worse off than I am right now, except for a

162
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: few hundred bucks. I said, agreed. I said, And the

163
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: best part is it may fix it. So instead of

164
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: spending five thousand on a transmission, you're gonna spend three

165
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: to four hundred on the transmission. And he said, and

166
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: there it is. You know, it's nice working with Sebastian.

167
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: He got it, and he did get it because we

168
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: serviced it. I did just what I said I was

169
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: gonna do. And um, as far as last as that

170
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: was three days before Friday. As a Friday afternoon, I

171
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: texted him the vehicle was operating fine, he had no

172
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: problems with it, and uh, it's doing what it's supposed

173
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: to do. And he was very, very happy. And I

174
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: think the moral to the story becomes is, you know,

175
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: maintenance doesn't guarantee you longevity, all right, it doesn't. Listen,

176
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, we see a lot of transmissions fail at

177
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: the hundred and fifty thousand mile mark. My daughter's escaped

178
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: transfluid with service on a regular basis, it's still failed

179
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: at a buck fifty. But the odds are in your favor.

180
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: It seems. It seems that doing maintenance gives you you

181
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: that more reliability, more reliable, more dependable vehicle because you

182
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: know what's been done and it it will cut down

183
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: your long term cost of operation. Yes, you know what.

184
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: It can be said that anything can fail at any

185
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: given time. That's understood. Listen. You can take the best

186
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: care you can of your house and your roof, and

187
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: the roof could buckle in for no reason anything is possible.

188
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: It cuts down the odds, though, and in this day

189
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: and age when automobiles are just skyrocketing out of control

190
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: in terms of what they're costing, never mind if you

191
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: can even find one, which is a unique trick unto itself,

192
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: and then you have to deal with it's a seller's

193
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: market right now, which makes dealing or trying to get

194
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: deals on a new vehicle very difficult at best. That

195
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: you want to take care of what you got. Taking

196
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: care of what you got is really, you know, the

197
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: better way to do things, um, you know, long term,

198
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: long term. So just the case of the chattering Honda, Hey,

199
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: what do you know? We saved him five grand? How bad?

200
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: How bad could that be? Right? It worked out really well.

201
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: So let's pull over, take a pause. When we come back,

202
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna say a load of tom. I can say

203
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: a load of tom. Now, Mr Ray, did you have

204
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: a good week? He doesn't know which button to push.

205
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: As soon as they find the button. As soon as

206
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: you find that, you're a you're a big time DJ. Now,

207
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: I hear my spies tell me is this company? Yeah? Yeah,

208
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm doing the night shift on one of the stations

209
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: in the Elko, Nevada, the sister station, the k b

210
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: g Z that we're on out there. Yeah, they're gonna

211
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: put your fix. Are they gonna put your face on

212
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: the billboard too? Well? Probably not, because I have a

213
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: great face for radio, because you know we could if

214
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: they put the two of us side by side. Boy,

215
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: think of the Halloween spectacular. That would be so my gosh.

216
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, I see you you Warrior Mechanics costume

217
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: today and that mask is absolutely horrendous. That's your face.

218
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look like a human being? Um is

219
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: what this looks? Well? I just you know the kind

220
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 1: of the week I had, Tom, I'm telling you it was.

221
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: It was a week, it really was. We Uh, we

222
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: did everything we were supposed to do. We fixed everything

223
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: we were supposed to fix. We solved all the problems

224
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: we're supposed to solve, and um, you know what, I

225
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: came home up right and breathing, and I was very

226
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: happy to do that. So just a great way to

227
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: end the week. Let's pull over, take a pause. When

228
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: we come back, we're gonna open up the phone lines

229
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: which are backed up, and uh, we've got a couple

230
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: of special dedications we want to send out as well.

231
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm Ron, Nandie in the Car Doctor. We'll return right

232
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:34,000

233
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: and Nady in the Car Doctor and getting that car fixed? Right?

234

Speaker 1: Eight five five five zero zero zero. Give Ron a call?

235
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: Now back to Ron. Hey, let's uh, you know, every

236
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: once in a while we've got a great email from people.

237
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: And you know, part of the joy in doing this

238
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: show these past thirty plus years is I get to

239
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: talk to you guys. You know, it's I can be

240
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: having a really bad day at the shop and and

241
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: they happen all right, and you know, it wears on you,

242
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: it really does it. It It just takes you down

243
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: to a point that you say, why am I doing this?

244
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's tough, it's it's getting tougher two

245
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: being in small business. But then I get to come

246
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: home and I get to think about it, and I

247
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: opened up my email pile, and uh usually after supper

248
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting there going through and I get emails

249
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: like this, and um, you know, if you recall, we

250
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: we were giving away a couple of things. We had

251
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: a couple of books we were uh looking to give away.

252
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: We had a book Porsche of the seventy fifth anniversary. UM,

253
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: we had a book seventy plus years of Corvette, and

254
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: we had a new one to um hot Rod Magazine,

255
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: the seventy plus years of hot Rod Magazine. And I

256
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: found homeless for all of them, and I found really

257
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: great homes for them. But it's the Corvette book I

258
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: want to talk about right now. I want to put

259
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: some time into that. You know, Linda from Tucson, Arizona

260
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 1: wrote in and she said, hey, Ron, and listen to

261
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: your show every Saturday. I heard you mentioned this morning

262
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: about a Corvette book that you were planning to give away.

263
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: Is there any way I can put my name in

264
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: for that book? My husband would love to have it.

265
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: We've had Corvettes for many years. He's a retired Arizona

266
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: State Trooper. If I can get the book with your autogram,

267
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: if it please run, that would be awesome. Thank you

268
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: so much, And you know it was my pleasure, it

269
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: really was. I've got to tell you, UM, you know

270
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't think we give well, I know we don't.

271
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say I don't think we don't give enough

272
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: credit to those first responders, to those people that we

273
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: put in harm's way, whether they're you know, the police,

274
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 1: the fire department, the e m t S, the military,

275
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: the people that are keeping us safe every day out

276
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: there on the job. And what I thought about the

277
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: most in reading Linda's email is I don't give the

278
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: wives credit enough either, Okay, because Linda said that she

279
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, we have had Corvettes for many years. That's

280
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: a me and her thing, right, They've been together as

281
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: as husband and wife for many years, and um, you

282
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: know they're they're into Corvettes, and I thought this would

283
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: be a great way they could sit down and you know,

284
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: maybe during the I don't know if they get cold

285
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: winter months in in Arizona, but it must be colder

286
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: than it is during the summer, so they can sit

287
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: on the couch and in a in a quiet evening

288
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: and maybe go through the book because it's got some

289
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: great color pictures of Corvette through the years. And Linda,

290
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: I just want to say that I'm sending this out

291
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: there to the two of you. UM. I brought a

292
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: little dedication in the front which I want to vulge here,

293
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: but that's for you and Marty. Um. You know, Marty's

294
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: retired Arizona State Trooper, and we appreciate here's years of service.

295
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: And Linda, we appreciate your years of waiting for him

296
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: to come home, hoping that he does come home. So

297
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: we know how tough that can be. So God bless

298
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: and be safe. Enjoy the book. Let's uh, let's go

299

Speaker 1: I looked through around on the internet and I found

307
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: the vapor canister purge valve was also often listed as

308
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: something that that cause that I replaced that. UM did

309
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: not find any change. I also replaced the gas cap.

310
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: I noticed the gas cap didn't click, UM, and then

311
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: we bought a new one. It does click, but that

312
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: also did not affect it. UM. I'm I don't have

313
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: a smoke machine, so I didn't know where else to go.

314
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: Is for how to diagnosis. Uh. Typically the code shows

315
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: up like if we cleared the code, it takes a

316
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: couple of days of driving, um, and she has like

317
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: an hour long one way commute, so it's quite a

318
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: few miles before it actually resets that code. Tail. Let

319
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. Do you live in a

320
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: house or an apartment house? Okay? You got a front

321
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: door and back door? Yep. Front door is the gas

322
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: tank area, all right. The backdoor is the engine all right.

323
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: So you got a front door, you got a back door.

324
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: If you want to let air flow through the house,

325
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: you open up the front door, you open up the

326
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: back door, right, Yeah, you gotta get air flow, all right.

327
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: So so my understanding isn't correct me. If I'm wrong,

328
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: you change the back door, you change the purge valve,

329
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: the piece at the engine correct, that's all right. You've

330
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: also got to deal with the front door. You've got

331
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: to deal with the piece back at the tank or

332
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: what we call the canister vent, all right. Now, the

333
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: canister vent is normally open. The canister vent valve allows

334
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: fresh air to come into the system. It cycles through

335
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: a carbon canister, all right, and as it filters air out,

336
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: it will also prevent fumes from going out. It's filtered

337
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: through the canister, all right, and then at the right moment,

338
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: they'll open up the back door. They'll open up the

339
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: purge valve and draw fresh air through the system, scavenge

340
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: the tank, take fumes out, take fumes out of the canister,

341
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: all right, and recycle it through the engine and allow

342
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: it to burn. Now, do you still have the old

343
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: back door? Do you still have the old canister perge valve? Oh? Yeah?

344
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: Is that? Can you blow through it? Did you try

345
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: blowing through it? I did not try blowing through it.

346
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: The one thing I did do was when the CANNIS,

347
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: when it was on the vehicle, I had I removed

348
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: the hose, plugged the hose, put my thumb over the

349
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: the report that was going to the um engine the

350
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: engine side, and it did not it was or not

351
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: the engine side, the tank side. It was not sucking. Well,

352
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get suction off the off the tank side.

353
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: Oh no, No, I mean off the engine side. Okay.

354
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: I thought the tank side would with the engine. I

355
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 1: thought it would switch to that. No, here's here's the deal, right,

356
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: let's go back to the house. Got a front door,

357
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: you got a back door. All right. If you open

358
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: the back door, if you open the purge valve at

359
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: the engine and you don't open the front door, you're

360
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: gonna get airflow through the system. You're gonna get air

361
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: through the house. Now. So I'll tell you what, Sit tight, Tim,

362
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: Let me come back to you. Let me pull over.

363
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: Take this pause. When we return, we'll continue this story.

364
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm running aiding the Car Doctor at five zero zero.

365
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: We're coming back right after this. Don't go away. Welcome back,

366
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: running name of the car Doctor. A quick shout out

367
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: to the gang over across fit Bis in Midland Park,

368
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: New Jersey. They kind of found out what I do

369
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: this week, and um, they think I'm on the radio

370
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: and guess what, they're right. So a big shout out

371
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: to five AM and everybody that works out together with

372
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: me as so we all try to stay in shape

373
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: and get in shape. So back to Tim, Tim Illinois,

374
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: you're there, sir, Hey, Ron I did uh? My wife

375
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: brought me that piece. I cannot blow through it. Okay

376
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: the piece you chain, yeah, Okay, that's good. That's what

377
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. It's a it's normally closed. The

378
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: canister purge valve. The piece at the engine is normally closed.

379
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: It's energized open. Do you have a house fan, tim, Yeah, okay,

380
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: if you know is it an attic fan what we

381
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: call an attic fan here in New Jersey where you

382
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: turn it on, it's upstairs. And if you turn it

383
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: on and to pull air out of the house. No,

384
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't really have one of those, but I know

385
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: what I'm familiar with what you're talking about. If you

386
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: if you put a house fan in the doorway and

387
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: you didn't have the door open, how much air is

388
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: it gonna pull out? Nothing? Right? So you know the

389
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: house fans the engine, all right. The house fan sits

390
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: by the back door. And when you want to pull

391
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: air or fumes out of the gas tank, out of

392
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: the trucoal canister, you open the front door, you open

393
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,239
Speaker 1: the back door, and you have air flow. Because if

394
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: you just open up, if you just open up the

395
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: back door, if you open up that purge, you're not

396
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: going to get flow like you should. You need to

397
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: have air in air out right, Okay, So normally an

398
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: event valve is normally open, and if purge valve is

399
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: normally closed, they leave the vent open. They closed, they

400
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: opened the purge. You've got flow. Now when the system

401
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: when they want to check the system for integrity, the

402
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: purge is already closed. Okay, they closed the vent. They

403
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: opened the purge, and the engine or the house fan

404
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: pulls vacuum on the system and they look to see

405
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: what sort of results they get by looking at something

406
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: called the FTP fuel tank pressure sensor. Alright. A fuel

407
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: tank pressure sensor is a very precise sensor. It's on

408
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: the gas tank, typically zero to five volts, and it

409
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: will read state of change of how if the system

410
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: is under a vacuum or is it moving towards a

411
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: vacuum at what consistent rate. That's how they know these things.

412
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: So understanding this might help you, I mean so far

413
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: you know what. I know what you're trying to do,

414
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: but you just don't have the tooling for it. But

415
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: at this point, you've changed the back door, you've changed

416
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: the purge, you've changed the gas cap, all right, which

417
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: is which is an extension of the front door, and

418
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: extension of the vent valve. All right, you might want

419
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 1: to take a look at the vent valve. The vent

420
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: valve on this car is a little tough to get

421
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: to though, it sits down by the top of the

422
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: fuel tank, and it's kind of in an awkward spot.

423
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: But at this stage of the game, you know if

424
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 1: you're gonna if you're gonna change parts, change the vent

425
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: valve to why not unless you can get your hands

426
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: on a small machine and and and and check for leaks,

427
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: which would be the next step. Yeah, do I have

428
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: to take a wheel off or a fender line or

429
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: anything to get to that? Likely? Yes, yes, up in

430
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: the air. It's something you need to do. It's easiest

431
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: done up in the air on the lift alright. Not

432
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: easy to get two otherwise, all right, But yeah, the wheel,

433
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: I believe the wheel, the fender liner has to come out.

434
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: It's usually in the driver's side corner, driver's side rear,

435
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: on the driver's side rear tire. It's going to be

436
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: in that front corner of the tank by the canister.

437
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: So locate the canister and you'll see it. Now. The

438
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 1: other thing you can do is get a wiring diagram

439
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: and look at the colors of the wires that are

440
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 1: going to the vent valve. An idea that way, and

441
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 1: that's always a great way on some of these cars

442
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: to I D what you know which valve are you're chasing,

443
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 1: not this particular one. But Honda's, for example, have two

444
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: sorts of vent valves at the back of the vehicle,

445
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: and if you want to know which one is which,

446
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: we always look at wire color to determine. And you know,

447
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't care what anybody calls it. Every manufacturer calls

448
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: event vulve something different, in a perge veil something different.

449
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: To me, it's just the front door and a back door.

450
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: That's that's all they are. They have all these fancy

451
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: names for them, but they all do the same thing.

452
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: So my conversation with you about putting air through the

453
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: house is just that's the theory of it. If you

454
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: understand the theory, now you know what you're trying to

455
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: do makes sense. Yeah. Could it also be that this

456
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: fuel tank pressure sensor is bad or I would I

457
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: would think, no, No, they fail. Listen. They do a

458
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: lot of things weird, but you should get a precise

459
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,239
Speaker 1: code for measurement on that, and you're not getting that.

460
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: You're getting you're getting a large evap leak full all right,

461
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: and listen. This could be something as simple as a

462
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: seam link around a seam leak around the gas tank.

463
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: This could be a leaking fuel tank that you may

464
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: not get fuel smell from, but you could just have

465
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: a leak that it doesn't hold vacuum. Normal vacuum. We

466
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: talked about, you know, zero to twelve inches, Well, you

467
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: know one inch of vacuum is now broken down into

468
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: sub levels. Below that we get into inches of water.

469
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: And I think it's I think it's one inch of

470
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: vacuum is equal to twelve inches of water. Don't hold

471
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 1: me to that. I haven't looked at number up in

472
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: a while. But it's a very precise measurement. They actually

473
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: they actually get down to the level of a pimple

474
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: on the flies behind. If you want to understand what

475
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, all right, when you're looking at an FTP center,

476
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: they measured so precisely. A tenth of a vault change

477
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: in an FTP is like saying a mile is a

478
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: short jog. That makes sense absolutely. So you know you

479
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: focused on the purge, You focused on the system integrity.

480
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: You've done a cap brother, If we're gonna shotgun parts,

481
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: why don't we just go put event valve in it

482
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: and then you'll know when it's still not fixed. Now

483
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: you gotta get a smoke machine to get somebody to

484
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: diagnose it. But that's the theory on how it works.

485
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: All right, very much, You're very welcome, Tim, Good luck

486
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: to you. Um. Yeah, listen, if we're gonna if we

487
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: if we're gonna throw parts at it, guys, Um, let's

488
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: just go all the way. If we're not going to

489
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: diagnose anything, which is I understand why it's done, but

490
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: understand that it kind of backs you into a corner.

491
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: And if we're gonna do this, let's just, you know,

492
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: let's understand how the system works. And that's my whole

493
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: point from why I'm bringing this up. Let's go to

494
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: Jack in Wisconsin eighteen GMC and some transmission issues. Jack,

495
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: thanks for waiting there so patiently. How can I help

496
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: you today run in aning at your services? Yeah? Thanks?

497
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: Ron Um. Well, I've had an issue started last year

498
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: with my transmission shotteren Um. You know when I'm driving

499
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: down the road. When I first had it, I was

500
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: way up north by Michigan and and uh my wheelbarding

501
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: was going out. But it got it diagnosed that it

502
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: was a transmission shuttering and in uh shifting into higher

503
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: gears always uh so did my research change the fluid

504
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: that come to find out that changing the fluid there

505
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: might be poisture and the fluid um. And I flushed

506
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: out the cooler and the tork converter with extra fluid

507
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: I put in there and flushed it all out. Uh

508
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: started to run in great. So it runs good now

509
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: I don't have that shutter anymore. But my main question

510
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: is UM doesn't hurt your transmission? And is it okay

511
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: to down shift when you're coming to down a hill

512
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: or to a stop sign? Pulling a trailer to help

513
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: you break UM? I do that with my wife's car

514
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: and my car when I'm on the highway, to down

515
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 1: shift instead of stepping on the brake a lot. Is

516
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: that bad for the transmissions nowadays? I'll tell you what

517
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: can you sit? Let me pull over, take a pause.

518
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: When I come back, I'll have the answer for you

519
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: and everybody else. Don't go away, Jack, I'll run any

520
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: of the car doctor. I'll return right after this. Welcome back,

521
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: name of the the car doctor. Zero Back to Jack in Wisconsin. Jack,

522
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 1: you're still there, sir, yeah, yeah, So the question was

523
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: you know? And and if I'm describing this wrong, please

524
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: say that you're you're driving along and when you're approaching

525
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: a stop you're using the trans to down shift to

526
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: slow the vehicle down. Fair statement? Or did I miss something? Okay?

527
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes when I'm driving with my wife, I call it

528
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: coming in hot. You know, well, I think the question

529
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: here is what's cheaper breaks or a transmission? Of course

530
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: the brakes right, you know, transmission wasn't meant to downshift,

531
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: not a modern transmission anyway, and not a transmission that's

532
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: not been modified, not my opinion. If you're towing a

533
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: trailer and you know you're going uphill and you want

534
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: to go slow and you want to keep it in

535
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: second gear and make a gradual climb, great, But you've

536
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,239
Speaker 1: got to think about is every time you're pulling up

537
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: to that stop sign, if you're if you're deciding went

538
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: to down shift and you're feeling it, you know, if

539
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: it kind of lurches you forward a little bit, that's

540
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: a shock to the system. Over time, that shock is

541
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: gonna translate down to gee, what did I wear out?

542
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: To you joint in my neighbor who has the same vehicle,

543
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: doesn't right? Right? Makes sense? Or you know why did

544
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: why Why did I? Why did I tear up the

545
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: planetary cluster and transmission, and my neighbor didn't. So you know, listen,

546
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the story about I was coming out

547
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: of a house on a street one day and this

548
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: is gosh, it's gotta be twenty years since I did this.

549
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: And I was in which truck was I in? I

550
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: was in the ninety one, So that's three trucks ago. Okay,

551
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: Um that was a while ago, and um it was

552
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: it had. I was at someone's house for something, we

553
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: had a meeting or something. I can't remember exactly what,

554
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: and I came out and it was a sheet of

555
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: ice and I didn't realize it was a sheet of ice.

556
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: And as I approached to stop sign, I stepped on

557
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: the brakes and I'm heading for what we used to

558
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: call dead Man's Hill, right, you know, because it went

559
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: straight down for a quarter mile and emptied out onto

560
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: the freeway. It was one of those deals, all right.

561
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: So I'm just sliding on ice. The wheels are stopped,

562
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: and I'm just moving forward. So I made I made

563
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: the fatal well, and it wasn't fatal, but I made

564
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: the decision at that time. I put it in reverse

565
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: while I was moving forward. At thirty miles an hour,

566
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: and I just stepped on the gas and I finally

567
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was a heck of a jolt to

568
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: the system because it was, you know, let's let's let's

569
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: go backwards real quick at the last minute, and I

570
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: stopped just in the nick of time before I made

571
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: it out onto the main drag where all the traffic was.

572
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: Because for whatever reason, this road was a sheet of

573
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: ice and the rest of the roads were blacktop. It

574
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: was kind of strange, um, just the way it was

575
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: shaded against the mountain and stuff. So, yeah, it happens. Um.

576
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: I never forgot that day. But you know, yeah, not

577
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: something you want to do, all right, I think I

578
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: think just breaking um in a panic situation, sure, different conversation,

579
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: but on a daily basis, you know, I think if

580
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: you want to do that, buy yourself a hot rod

581
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,959
Speaker 1: with a stick. I think you'd be hand right. So,

582
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, you see it with the electronics nowadays, the

583
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: down shift when you're going downhills automatically, like in my

584
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: new two thousand twenty Blazer at down shifts, when you

585
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: got in in cruise control at down shifts. You know,

586
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: I just thought maybe it might be okay, now to

587
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: do that with the vehicle. Well, but the thing is,

588
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: if you could match what the vehicle does at the

589
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: at that exact same speed and and at that exact

590
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: same moment, the differences. So let's just let's just make

591
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: an assumption. And this is an assumption. I don't know

592
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: this for a fact, but under you know, I try

593
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: to understand how engineers thinking, how car companies think that

594
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: moment when they when the programmer writes and says, hey,

595
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: you know, when Jack's doing thirty five mile an hour

596
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: cruising down the road, and you know, we see an

597
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 1: opportunity for to downshift the trans because we're anticipating him

598
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: accelerating because we saw his foot leave the gas pedal,

599
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: or we saw it come off the break, or we

600
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: saw something change in the vehicle. And now it says

601
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: down shift. It's already changing fuel curve, it's already changing

602
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: pressure control inside the transmission. It's already making changes to

603
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: accommodate that change of speed or change of gear safely.

604
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: All right, It's all the stuff that goes on behind

605
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: the scenes. There's all kinds of pro gramming that went

606
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: into that. When Jack does it, it's bang it's like,

607
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: brace yourself. This won't feel good. Bang right? Um you

608
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: know so yeah, you know what, Like I said, get

609
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: yourself a four speed hot rod. You'll feel better. So okay, okay, kiddo,

610
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: you'd be well, thank you. I appreciate the call. You're

611
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: very welcome. Sirus. Yeah, listen, I you know what, there's

612
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: there's moments when you have to throw it in reverse.

613
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,959
Speaker 1: I often think of that. I'm gonna date myself again.

614
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: Who remembers PT one on nine? Come on, put your

615
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: hands up, Tom, put your hand up. You're a PT

616
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: one on nine with President Kennedy. That movie, right. I

617
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: still remember when he's pulling into the dock and he

618
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: tells the guy full speed reverse and the boat conks

619
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: out and it takes out the end of the dock

620
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: when they're you know, just things from the sixties. I

621
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: remember it, you know, and that's sort of what it

622
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: was like with the truck. That's kind of where I

623
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: got the idea, and that's sort of what Jack's trying

624
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: to do. Let's put it in reverse and let's change

625
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: the gear and see if it slows the vehicle down. Yeah,

626
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: that's what they make breaks for. Hey, the car doctor

627
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: is coming back right after this. Don't go away. I'm

628
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: ronning Indian states what I'm back ran name the car doctor.

629
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: I don't know which highway I'm on. I uh, sometimes

630
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: I question it. You know, I had a really good

631
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: funny story here. Here it is hey Ron fun thing here,

632
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: and I'm leaving some names blank. The names have been changed.

633
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: This is like dragnet, right. The names have been changed

634
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: to protect the innocent. And this comes to us from

635
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: a radio station that should remain anonymous. Hey Ron fun

636
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: thing here in blank. I have a host who loves

637
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: prius Is, and you annoy him with well, I don't

638
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: know when you talk about hybrids and the mathematics of

639
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: it all, I'm not sure why that's a bad thing.

640
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: I don't listen for the record. I like I like hybrids.

641
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: I think hybrids are the answer, and that may shock

642
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: some of you, but I thought I've stated that more

643
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: than once that I think hybrids are part of the solution.

644
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,479
Speaker 1: I think a combination of of of hybrid and internal

645
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: combustion engines. I think that's a no brainer. And my

646
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: mystery serious writer writes it goes that not not that

647
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm against dvs Winn and if the technology gets there.

648
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: But I know he gets annoyed with your perspective, I

649
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: kind of find the funny be well, you know, listen,

650
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to clear the year. That's why I mentioned

651
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: this story, not to annoy anybody. You know, if I'm

652
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: annoying somebody, my apology, that's never my intention. Well maybe

653
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: it is sometimes, but you know what, Well I was

654
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,719
Speaker 1: gonna say, I probably annoyed Tom a lot, but that's

655
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: because I'm better looking. Um, you know, it's more a

656
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: case of these are the numbers. It's got to make sense.

657
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,719
Speaker 1: You know, I fixed too many vehicles on a weekly

658
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: basis that you know, we get a lot of well

659
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: the other guy tried to fix it and couldn't fix

660
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: it and he kept throwing parts at it, or the

661
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: guy that said, you know what needed a transmission, and

662
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: it didn't need a transmission in my world. And here's

663
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: an absolute I can guarantee you in my world, two

664
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: and two makes four every time, every time it has

665
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: to because of what I'm doing. If if I'm in

666
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: a position where somebody tells me too and two is seven,

667
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: then I gotta call it like I see it, because

668
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: that's part of who I am. I mean, you can't

669
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: change that. And if you're in a position we're two

670
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: and two make seven and you agree to it, you

671
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: gotta look at that. You gotta say, what are you

672
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: looking for? You know? Yeah? Do I think electric vehicles

673
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: are the answer? Yes? When do I think it's gonna happen?

674
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm not sure because I don't think the technology is

675
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: anywhere near that. I keep hoping somebody's going to invent

676
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: something different, but I don't know when that's gonna happen.

677
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: In the meantime, is there something we can do stop gap? Yeah,

678
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: let's increase the use of hybrid, Let's make delivery vehicles electric,

679
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: let's mandate that, let's you know, continue to move forward.

680
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: But right now, oh god, I can tell you so

681
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: many stories. Right now, we can't even get technicians working

682
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: on internal combustion engines trained enough to speed in a

683
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: lot of cases. How are we gonna do with e V?

684
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,479
Speaker 1: But for the host that I'm annoying, Sorry I don't

685
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: mean to, but you know, look at the math, and

686
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: then for the reality of it. I like hybrids, not

687
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: thrilled with e vs until the next time. I'm not

688
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: a nying of the car doctor reminding each and every

689
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: one of you. Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're placeless. See

690
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: you
