1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Hell, I need somebody, not just anybody, you know, I

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: need someone, Ronan. It's a machine. It still needs service,

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: it still needs basic maintenance. The fact, the car Doctor,

4
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: I really think the car companies are starting to figure

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: out they've got to make things last less mileage in

6
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: order to increase sales, because it's all a sales thing.

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: So they're lion tours lighting up practice. Welcome to the

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: radio home of ron Andanian the Car Doctor, since this

Speaker 1: is where car owners the world overturned to for their

10
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: definitive opinion on automotive repair. If your mechanics giving you

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: a busy signal, pick up the phone and call in.

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: The garage doors are open, but I am here to

Speaker 1: take your calls at eight five five five six, and

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: now he running. You know, it's it's I don't know

15
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: to begin, you know, it's it's sort of like you're

16
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: not supposed to say stupidity. It's not a nice word,

17
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 1: but stupidity takes stupidity in order to repair really takes

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: a new form in the last couple of years. And

19
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: it's just every time I turn around, you look at

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: it and you go, really, I don't think I could

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: do my job without that word. Really, you just look

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: at it and go, huh, really, there's a lot of

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: ways you can use that. Customer walked in this week.

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: He's got a twenty sixteen jeep wrangler, all right. And

25
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: I know Bill a lot of years. We actually went

26
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: to high school together a million years ago, when dirt

27
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: was invented and God was young and Jesus was a teenager,

28
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: and and you know, he called me up one day

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: and he said, hey, listen, the washer bottle and the

30
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: jeep broke. And my son, who's twenty one, wanted to

31
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: try and fix it on his own, and he bought one.

32
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: But then he looked at it and he said, I

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: can't change this. So I'm wondering if maybe you could

34
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: take it to the mechanic and let him do it.

35
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, how hard could it be to change of

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: washer bottle? What's involved? Here on the other side of

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: me went uh row right. So Bill walked in yesterday morning,

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: Friday morning with a washer bottles. You what a washer

39
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: bottle looks like on a jeep, Like washer bottle, plastic

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: bottle hangs on the fender, right, Fill it up with

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: washer fluid, you know stuff, Spritz is out the whole thing. No,

42
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: when you lift lift the next time you lift the

43
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: hood of a jeep, look at the right side fender wheel.

44
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: You gotta washer bottle. You got the A B S

45
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: control motor. You've got the main engine computer all bolted

46
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: sitting there in a row on the right side, that

47
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: whole right side piece of molding. I mean, the washer

48
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: bottle was three ft long, three and a half feet long.

49
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: It's it's this big giant plastic. It's everything. So to

50
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: put a washer bottle in this jeep, all right, which

51
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: the bottle assembly was a hundred and sixty for a

52
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: big chunk of plastic, which we threw out. It's now

53
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: in the recycled pile for for next week, all right.

54
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: Like I said, buying a new car means you get

55
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: to throw it away one piece at the time. That's

56
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: the only privilege you learned. And you know, lift up

57
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: the A B S controller, disconnect the main engine computer,

58
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: disconnect the main chassis ground. You know, the list goes

59
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: on and on to change a washer bottle. And and

60
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: here's the joke of it, right, So where the washer

61
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: bottle was leaking was where the washer pump sits into

62
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: the bottom of the bottle. There's a little white grammet

63
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: there and that gramic gets rock hard and it starts

64
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: to it starts it allows fluid to pass. They didn't

65
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: give the customer that, or they didn't the customer didn't

66
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: know what they ask for it. That Chrysto doesn't sell

67
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: it that way. You have to buy it separately. You know.

68
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: Stupidity takes a lot of forms. Like I said, where

69
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: this conversation begin. You sit there and you look at

70
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: a lot of things and go really try it tonight,

71
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, when you're at dinner, Try that tonight with

72
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: your partner. You're sitting there listening to them talk and

73
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: just look at them. You want to you want to

74
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: see dramatic effect and they have. Now Now you can

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: only use this. This is like the power of and

76
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: you can only and when you go really just be

77
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: prepared to talk because it might not be at the

78
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: right moment. But it does work really well with auto

79
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: repair that I can tell you. So, I, you know,

80
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: disconnected everything. And I made one one fatal error when

81
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: I did this, and I didn't think I missed one step.

82
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what it is in a minute.

83
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: So I took everything apart and you know we had

84
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: to take the tire off, how to take the inner

85
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: fender well out to get to the bolts for the

86
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: for this tray assembly? All right, And I hate disconnecting computers.

87
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: You know, the computer is happy, leave it alone, it's working.

88
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: Now I gotta disconnected. I gotta disturb it. I've got

89
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: to disconnect the main engine ground. You know, you just

90
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: go why why? I mean, you know, you can't really.

91
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: So I get it all put back together, all bolts up,

92
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: Everything's fine, everything's working. And then I said, gee, I

93
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: wonder what the rear wiper motor does because I haven't

94
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: tried the rear wipers. I didn't think of that. The

95
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: rear wiper doesn't work. So now I'm back to the

96
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: drawing board. I'm thinking, did I miss the step? Did I?

97
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: And then the answer was right in front of me.

98
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: And you know again, order repairs a mental thing. You

99
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: make mental mistakes. Right. It's a hard top. A hard

100
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: tip vehicle on a jeep means that there's a soft top,

101
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: which means in the summer the hard top comes off.

102
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean the summer, the hard top comes off and

103
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: he drives around with a soft top bott of the

104
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: top down. They didn't know when I told the customer

105
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: because they had bought this and I hadn't seen them

106
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: in a while, and they bought it and they said, oh, yeah,

107
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: the real wiper doesn't work. And I found out they

108
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: didn't connect it because when you put the hard top on,

109
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: you have to plug the harness and for the hard

110
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: top for the wiper motor. So it's just you be

111
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: careful of the steps you miss, because sometimes it's they

112
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: were a real killer. But sometimes I'm the stupid one,

113
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: you know. But you know, not for the lack of trying.

114
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: I'll show you I'll be the stupidest thing on the planet.

115
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: But really, I mean, what engineer you know who designed that?

116
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: Who thought of that? Let's make everything everything out of

117
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: plastic and then just have to remove you know, the

118
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: A B has controllers, the main engine computers five hundred bucks.

119
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: We're fulling around with two thousands worth of electronics, and

120
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, you're trying to be gentle, You're trying not

121
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: to disturb the A B S controller. You know, thank

122
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: god you're able to lift it up a little bit

123
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 1: and sneak the tray in and out. Could you imagine

124
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: having to bleed, an A B S controller and the

125
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: system to put a washer bottle in. There'll be a

126
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: lot of people driving around with dirty windshields, I gotta

127
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: tell you. But you know Chrysler company, how they recommends

128
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: you start learning engine repair. Now I understand why. Let's

129
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: get over and talk to UH. I got to Steve.

138
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: have A B S connected to the older cars. But

139
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: now you have a B S and I'm wondering, how

145
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: bleed the system, will you change the fluid that's in

146
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: the A B S controller as well? It's another way

147
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: to say, that's another way to ask the same question. Right,

148
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: So you know, fair points. So I'm gonna explain to

00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: want to fast food joints. So go out to your

155
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: favorite fast food restaurant in order a large soda, all right, Um,

156
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: throw the soda away, and then take the plastic cup

157
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: that they gave it to you in and and take

158
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: that home. All right. Then you're gonna take a coil

159
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: of rubber hose stop at your local order parts store,

160
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: and you know, the smaller diameter stuff, something that will

161
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: fit over the head of the bleeder and make a

162
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: good positive seal, all right. And you're the right on

163
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: the wheel locations, right caliper or wheel cylinder or whatever

164
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: it might be. And the idea, the idea here is

165
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: that you're gonna take a coil of rubber hose. You're

166
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: gonna coil, yeah, a couple of three four turns like

167
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: a pigstail, and drop it down into the bottom of

168
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: the soda cup, all right, And then I get a

169
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: binder clip. I've I've modified this over the years. I

170
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: used to I used to leave the binder clip out,

171
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: but I found the binder clip does help. I get

172
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: a binder clip, one of those black spring clips, and

173
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: I and I clipped the hose to the top of

174
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,719
Speaker 1: the cup so it doesn't pull out, because sometimes the

175
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: rubber hoses all sprung up from being on the reel

176
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: for so long, because nobody uses rubber vacuum wine for

177
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 1: anything anymore anyway, and um, it falls out. So the

178
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: binder clip kind of helps. And you make the other

179
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: end long enough so that you can, you know, get

180
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 1: the car up in the air on jack stands, pull

181
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: the four wheels all right, and put the cup. You

182
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: fill the bottom of the cup up, you know, half

183
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: inch maybe three quarters of an inch of fluid, but

184
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: so that it completely covers the bottom of the hose

185
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: that's laying in there. And you attach the other end

186
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: to the bleeder, open the bleeder and get in the vehicle,

187
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: fill the Master. You might you know, you might want

188
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: to get a turkey based or suck the Master out.

189
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: If you can fill it with fresh fluid. Make sure

190
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: it's the right fluid. It should be dot three, but

191
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: double check. I don't think there's silicon. Well, it can't

192
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: be silicone if it's if it's an abs car um

193
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, but dot three it's it's probably not likely

194
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: dot for it will say right on the Master cylinder,

195
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: what fluid goes? Some good dot three fluid? Yeah, dot

196
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: three and just you know, you want to suck out

197
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: what's in the Master as much as you can fill

198
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: it with fresh and then open the bleeder, put it

199
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: on the caliper, and we usually start with the left

200
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: front check procedure for your car, but usually I still

201
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: go left front, left rear, right rear, right front. I

202
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: work my way around the car. And you're gonna with

203
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 1: the bleeder open, You're gonna stroke the pedal all the

204
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: way down, all the way down, all the way up,

205
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: all the way down, all the way up, I don't know,

206
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: eight times, ten times. The ideas you're just pushing flew

207
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: it out when when you let off the pedal, you're

208
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: gonna be drawing fluid back in. Here are the caveats,

209
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: all right. It's it's got to be a good tight

210
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: seal around the bleeder where the hose attaches, all right,

211
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: and the bleeder has to be in good enough condition

212
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: that it doesn't wobble in the boar, you know, it's

213
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: it's threads so that it doesn't let air leak pass that. Now,

214
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: sometimes I'll take that bleeder out all the way and

215
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: I'll pack it with wheel bearing grease and put it

216
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: back in. And it's not gonna make it tighter, but

217
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: the grease around the head of the threads will, you know,

218
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: kind of help seal it, all right, and I'll just

219
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: I'll just repeat that process all the way around the

220
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: vehicle until I get finally get all good clean fluid

221
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: out and having a helper here, Boy, this pays tremendous dividends.

222
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: And it's kind of exciting to see the dirty, crummy,

223
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: cruddy fluid being pushed into the clean fluid and watch

224
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: the clean fluid turn black and you go, well, my

225
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: brake fluid was really dirty, all right. And one of

226
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: the things I always encourage people to do if they

227
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: haven't done this in a while. Is after each wheel,

228
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: ask the helper how does the pedal feel? How does

229
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: the pedal feel? All right? Keep working, because when you

230
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: get to the one where he goes, hey, the pedal

231
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: doesn't feel so good. That's the one where something went

232
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: wrong and you drew erin all right, and then you're

233
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to bleed it by hand. Sposed to close

234
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: the bleeder before I have let off of the brake pedal? Yes, well, no, no, no, no, no,

235
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna stroke the pedal a good eight or ten times,

236
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: then close the bleeder and then ask him how does

237
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: the pedal feel. The idea is you're using the system

238
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: hydraulics to push fluid out out of the master, down

239
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: past the A B S controller, down past the caliper,

240
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: and out into the cup. That's the idea, all right,

241
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: the pedal, it's going to suck it right back in. Well,

242
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: it's in theory it's sucking in fresh fluid, or it's

243
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: sucking in different portions of the cup. Over time, you're

244
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: gonna take dominance and eventually push all the dirty fluid

245
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: out and have nothing left but clean. Keeping an eye

246
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: on the fluid level and the master. All right, it

247
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: does work, you'll see. All right. Now, one one note

248
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: of caution. I'll tell you what. Let me pull over,

249
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: take a pause, stay put. When I come back, I'll

250
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: finish this up and we'll I want to make sure

251
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: we cover this in detail. Don't go anywhere, Ron and

252
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: any of the car, doctor, or back right after this,

253
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: whether it's a little red Corvette or you go. You've

254
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: come to the right place to get that car fixed.

255
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: Ron and in the car doctor eight five five zero

256
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: zero zero. Now backter on, Steve. You're still there, yeah, sir, okay.

257
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: So the idea is you're stroking the pedal. Bleeders open.

258
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: When you're done, close the bleeder, check the pedal pedal

259
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: should be good, is as good or better, et cetera.

260
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: The ideas you're gonna catch where you know, if you've

261
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: induced air into the system, at least you know what

262
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: wheel to start with. That makes sense so far, okay,

263
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: And then obviously keeping an eye on the master, keeping

264
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: the Master full, and you just slowly work your way

265
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: around the car. Now, sometimes some vehicles give you the

266
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: option of an A B. S bleed And I don't

267
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: keep it in my head, but I I am aware

268
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: of it. I will look through a scan tool and

269
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: see is there an A B S bleed process? And

270
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: it's a good idea to include this as part of

271
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: a flush. And that's why I'm gonna try and talk

272
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: you out of this, because you don't have that capability. Obviously,

273
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: you don't have a scan tool, and if you did,

274
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: it's probably O B D two. I don't know if

275
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: it's your make model. But even so, to do that

276
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: at home in the driveway, you know, without proper tooling,

277
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: I think you're only doing half the job without doing

278
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: some kind of an abs bleed, and I don't feel

279
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: like you're going to really accomplish what you need to accomplish.

280
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: Because here's why. Have you gotten any quotes about doing

281
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: a break flush on this car? No? I haven't. It's

282
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: it's a hundred bucks, a hundred fifty bucks, you know,

283
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: it's it's probably an hours. It's an hour of shop

284
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: time and some break fluid. So it's right around you know,

285
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty dollars tax like you know is that?

286
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: And listen, I'm not trying to talk you out of

287
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: working on your car, but I I think about safety.

288
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: I think about you know, using my time to my

289
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: best advantage. I can think of tons of projects for

290
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: you to work on the car if you want to

291
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: get you know that that Saturday car field where you're

292
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: worked on your car as a kid. Um, you know,

293
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: wash the thing, wax the thing, check tire pressure, you know,

294
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: change wiper blades, clean the inside of the glass. You know,

295
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: there's a hundred things you can do, but this, you know,

296
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: this is a critical dimension because it's your safety. It's

297
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: the longevity of not just the brake system, but just

298
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: as important the A B S controller. And it's doing

299
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: it right so that you don't damage something electronic or

300
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: mechanical or hydraulic and and create a bigger issue. That

301
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: makes sense. You know if this was if this was

302
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: a thousand dollar procedure, yeah, I kind of get it.

303
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: Um you know, I'll tell you like this, the day

304
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: is gonna come where ron doesn't work on cars anymore.

305
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: And you know it's because of things like this and

306
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: and and simple little things like this that can lead

307
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: you down the primrose path to the wrong place. Um

308
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: uh and get you in trouble because you don't have

309
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: the right tooling. That's my concern. Okay, Scanning tool to

310
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: do well because because you're gonna use the A B

311
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: S or the scan tool has the ability to cycle

312
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:59,359
Speaker 1: the VALVNG inside the A B S control assembly. And

313
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: and you know, if this was a typical this is

314
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: a typical GM product, it's you know, bleed the system,

315
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: bringing up on the scan tool, hold the pedal, push

316
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: the button on the scan tool. While you're pushing down

317
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: on the pedal, the pedal vibrates because it's it's it's

318
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: pulsing the pedal. It's or it's pulsing the A B

319
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: S controller and it's it's cycling the hydraulic valels um.

320
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: Does Honda have that procedure? I think I've seen it

321
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: on a few and that's why I'm skeptical to try this.

322
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: If we want to really do this, you want to

323
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: just you want to just flush and bleed the system

324
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: without going through the A B S controller. You could,

325
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: but it's kind of like changing oil on a car

326
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: without changing the filter. You're only getting out of a

327
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: portion of the fluid, not all of it. So aren't

328
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: aren't you better off doing it? All right? You know?

329
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you this question. Do you

330
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: have a good local mechanic or somebody that you've been

331
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: taking the car too, that you trust. Well, I'll probably

332
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: take it to the Honda dealer if I have them

333
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: to have them replace the entire break fluid. Yeah, and I,

334
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: like I said, I don't think it'll be more than

335
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: a fifty bucks. Get a quote, all right, explain to

336
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: explain to the guy what you're after, all right, and uh,

337
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: you know, I just I just you know. The other

338
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: question I've got is do you have jack stands and

339
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: all that to remove the tires and put it up

340
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: in the air. Yes, I do, all right, so you're

341
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: you're halfway there. Um uh. Sometimes it's better to let

342
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: you know somebody with the tooling do it, because otherwise

343
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: it becomes more of a complicated headache. All right, Okay, sir,

344
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: good luck to you. You're welcome. Hoye By. I don't

345
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: know if you like that answer, but you know, listen,

346
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: I gotta call him like I see him. My job

347
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: here is to tell you what you want to know.

348
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: It's what you need to hear. Um, you know. And

349
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: I just if you can't do the A B S

350
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: controller and that's a concern, and that's it's becoming more

351
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: dominant on cars where we're doing more and more a

352
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: bs bleeds because it's you know, to not do so

353
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: it's only you know, partially, you're only taking out some

354
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: of the crug. And if you've never done a break flush,

355
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: when you see the junk that comes out of a

356
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: brake system after the cars a couple of four or

357
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: five years old, you know it's it reminds me of

358
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: carpenter Bob used A told to tell me, you know,

359
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: if you know how the house was built, you wouldn't

360
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: live in it. If you knew how brake systems work,

361
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: you wouldn't in a car. You wouldn't try, but you

362
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't trust it. It's so if you're gonna do it,

363
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: do the job right. Sorry to burst your bubble, Studie,

364
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: but I gotta keep this safe. Brought any in the

365
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: car doctor? We are back right after this. Don't go away? YEA,

366
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: welcome back, Ron. Any of the car doctors know what

367
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: to Steven Wisconsin. Steve, you're out with the car Doctoroe zero,

368
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: thanks for calling the show. Hey ran this. This truck

369
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: has a it's an Elis mortar, but it's a four

370
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: point eight leader. I bought it used with add miles

371
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: on it. Um. The day that I bought it, it

372
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: was warm. It was fall, but it was warm, six

373
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: five seventy degrees. I test roll of it. You know,

374
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: I liked everything. I just bought the fourth Chevy pickup

375
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: I've owned. I liked the las mortars. I know how

376
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: to maintain. I mean also I bought it, and then um,

377
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: when I got at home, had parked it for a while,

378
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: it got cold, and I started hearing this lifter tick. Okay,

379
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: and I just kind of started paying attention to it

380
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: and had come and go and come and go. And

381
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: I first wasn't worried about it, but and it got

382
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: worse and worse worse, and pretty soon it's stayed ticking.

383
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: And took it to the local mechanic and we put

384
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: new lifters in it. Okay, and um, I was skeptical

385
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: of oil pressure. Backman, the mechanic I used as a

386
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: personal friend, he's a race car driver, really good le

387
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: Chevy mortars. He said, you know the oil pump and

388
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: the that's the oil pan. Possibly you know, taking the

389
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: motor to get the pan off, So he said, and

390
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: they whist. Let's do the lifters first. Oil pressure seemed

391
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,239
Speaker 1: to be between twenty and thirty. He didn't think that

392
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: was too terrible at that point. Yeah, it's it should

393
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: be twenty four pounds of thousand rpm. Good rule of thumb,

394
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, normal temperature. So you know, if it's hitting there,

395
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: then then you know you should be okay. And then

396
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: obviously it's got to go up as you increase you

397
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: know speed. Okay. Well, so fast forward to you know

398
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: a few months after that, and it got really cold,

399
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: and I know, I started noticing the oil pressure was

400
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: quite low, quite low at startup. That cold start is

401
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: actually lower at cold start than it is once it

402
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: gets up the running temperature, which it was the opposite

403
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: for me. Entire pickup trucks seem like the oil pressure

404
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: was always real high when it was cold. You know,

405
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: now it's it's the opposite. And believe it or not,

406
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: the lift or tick comes back. It's not as consistent

407
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: as it was, and it helped, and it helps if

408
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: I try to park it inside overnight, and then when

409
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: then I started off with a little bit better oil

410
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: pressure when it's when it's parked inside. So yeah, so

411
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: I'll just you know, I'm pretty convinced that it's that

412
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: oil pickup too old ring? Not okay? Um. One of

413
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: my questions to you was, if I want to delay

414
00:21:53,760 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: that procedure, what would you think about running? Want one

415
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: step from sinner oil one step thinner than just in

416
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: the wintertime. I hate these questions, okay, but it's okay,

417
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: go ahead, It's okay, brother. I know. I just hate

418
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: these because I know what you're asking me, and I, Um,

419
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: you want to prove it's the O ring. You want

420
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: to you know, there is a way that there is

421
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: a way to check to see if it is the

422
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: O ring. Okay, okay, on me, Um, you could try this.

423
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: You know I've I've had some success with this, and

424
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: I'm no inventor of this. I read this somewhere and

425
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: it has worked. Um that you would overfill the crank

426
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: case by a quarter oil. Start to start the truck

427
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: and take a floor jack and jack up the rear

428
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: of the truck as high as it will go. The

429
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: idea is you're pitching everything forward so you're you know

430
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: the crank case is over full, and if the O

431
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: ring is leaking or you know, if the O ring

432
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: is allowing air to be drawn in your now filling

433
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: it with oil. So if if, and it would be nice,

434
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: you know if you had an oil mechanical oil pressure

435
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: gage hooked up to this and you know you actually

436
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: could watch mechanical readings rather than wait for the lifters

437
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: to stop ticking or trying to you know, check out

438
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: the back of the truck, leave the door open, hope

439
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: the jack, Hope the car doesn't fall off the jack sideways. Uh.

440
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: You know there's there's like a hundred things going on

441
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: here that that you know, spell disaster all over them.

442
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: There's no you know, unless you got a fork lift

443
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: to pick up you know what I mean. There's a

444
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: problem picking up the back of the truck balancing it

445
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: on the rear differential, which I don't know that red

446
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: differentials were really meant for that. We see people do

447
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: it all the time. But you under your question the

448
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 1: strength of it, and you know what's the support system

449
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: and um, you could try that or just you know,

450
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: get it up. You know, you get it up on it.

451
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: If you got a pair of jack stands or horses

452
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: that will take it up as high as the floor jack.

453
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: The idea is to pitch all the oil forward and um,

454
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: you know see what that does and if it does

455
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: make a difference. Then you know it's the over ring,

456
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: and then you know, uh, you know, and then I

457
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, do you I'm kind of I'm

458
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: kind of crazy. Do you do you do the pumpo

459
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: ring at a hundred and fifty thousand miles? Do you

460
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: swing a motor and drive the truck another ten years? Ah?

461
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's you know how many miles. But here's

462
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I searched for this vehicle for about

463
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: a year, and it was here's another thing that you

464
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: should know for a detail. Okay, it's from Nevada, it

465
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: doesn't have a speck of restaurant, and it's Southern class, right.

466
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: I kind of figured that. Something in my head said,

467
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: this guy's got a truck with no rust. So I'm wondering,

468
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, how much do we already got to settle

469
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: lifters in it? We you know, we now we're gonna

470
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: take it apart. As you say, it's a pain in

471
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,360
Speaker 1: the neck to pull the pan down to to get

472
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: to the four wheel drive? Is it easier to yank

473
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: the motor? You know? Is it easier to start out

474
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: with something fresh? And and you know, drive a ten

475
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: years and you know, the best way to convince yourself

476
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: of that is go price a new truck. You know,

477
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: it's like they want they want to pile the money

478
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: in your left kidney. Um, you know, and that's on

479
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: a bad day. Uh. What about what about driving it? For?

480
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: If I what? What? How? You know? What's what's what's

481
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: the diagnosis for? Like if I so well, if your

482
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: mindset is when it breaks all the way, you're gonna

483
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: put an engine in it, and you don't mind being

484
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: stuck somewhere, then drive it. But you know, you gotta

485
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's kind of like you know

486
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: Captain Kirk asking Scotty, Hey, we know the warp drives

487
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: down to the last two fuel injectors. How much longer

488
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: can we keep going on our mission to space something

489
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: along the way it's gonna stop? Um uh, But I

490
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: would kind of think in that direction. You know. It's funny.

491
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: We've been doing doing a lot of and I'm seeing

492
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: this as a trend, and I keep rolling around in

493
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: the back of my head when I'm not supposed to

494
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: be thinking about anything, which is like never. Um, you know,

495
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: sometimes it pays to put ten fifteen thousand dollars into

496
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: an older vehicle because it's sixty or seventy for a

497
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: new one, and it's it's no better. Um, it doesn't

498
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: do anything different. It's four wheels, it goes around, turns,

499
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: it stops, it starts, you know, as long as you

500
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: can get parts for it. Uh. The nice thing would

501
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: be that if you if you did that to this truck,

502
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: you could consider putting a five, three or six oh

503
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: on it, you know a little more horsepower or um,

504
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: you know, and and that because it runs awful, it

505
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: runs awfully low r p M. I'm just I'm I'm

506
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: a little bit suspicious that if it was a fleet vehicle,

507
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: you don't think that somebody could have changed the gears

508
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: in the rear end to make it get better gas

509
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: maalage at long distance rounds? Do you well, I think,

510
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: listen anything, anything's possible. But it's easy, you know what

511
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: you could You should be able to take that vin

512
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: take it to your local GM dealer, have them plug

513
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: it in and they should be able to give you

514
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: the rear end gear ratio or by looking at the

515
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: option codes the RPO codes listed in the glove box

516
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: usually is weird. It is on those trucks and and

517
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: then you know if it's if it's if it's three

518
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: twenty three's or you know, three oh eight or something,

519
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: whatever the gear ratio is, mark the drive shifts. Spinning

520
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: a ramp with the car up in the air, spinning around,

521
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: count the number of rotations and you know, from turning

522
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: the wheels to the drive shift, and you'll be able

523
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: to figure out the gear ratio and see if it

524
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: matches what the vehicle is supposed to have. You know, um,

525
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: at it's it's barely it's just a hair under. It

526
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: sounds about right, That doesn't That doesn't sound wrong. Um

527
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, I've had a lot of Chevy trucks over

528
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: the years myself. But you know, but try that. And then,

529
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,239
Speaker 1: like I said, with regards to the oil, you know,

530
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: it's it's you're basically asking me the question. You're saying, Hey, Doc,

531
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: I know, I know one of the valves on my

532
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: heart is leaking, but I don't have time to fix

533
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 1: it right now. Can I just keep going the way

534
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: it is? What's the long term consequence? Oh? You know,

535
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: I always think of you know, and I should, and

536
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: I want to preface this and I want to hit

537
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: this point hard and then I'm gonna go. I always

538
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: think about you know, yeah, we're gonna drive it till

539
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: it stops, And people say that to me all the time. Ron,

540
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: I want to drive my vehicle till it stops, and

541
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: the back of my head, I go, but what if

542
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: you're on the thru Way doing sixty and there's an

543
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: eighteen wheeler coming up on your tail and it stops?

544
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: You know, it happens. And I like talking to everybody

545
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: every week. I like everybody looking the way they look,

546
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: So I just think about that one. It's uh, it's

547
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: real easy to fix it after the problem, So fix

548
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: it now. Good luck to you, Steve. Let me know

549
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: if you can do anything else for you. Ero. The

550
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: car docters coming back right after this. He's welcome back.

551
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: Weren't any of the car doctor be glad to drive

552
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: you home. Let's get on over and talk to Dan Wallingford, Connecticut. Dan,

553
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: you're out with the car doctor. What's going on here? Yes?

554
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: For good, I've got I got a ninety six at

555
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: three point eight supercharge. You got the one that's left good.

556
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: I brought it from my neighbor, an older woman. We

557
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: had it garaged. It's got ninety seven thou miles. Does

558
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: this have the CRT screen in it? The touch screen? No,

559
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: so it's a regular dashboard. Okay, go ahead. Um, I've

560
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: had a little oil leak somewhere near near the belts

561
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: and I brought it in. They replaced as sending unit.

562
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: But they also then they told me I needed a

563
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,959
Speaker 1: lower intake gasket. So I got a couple of estimates.

564
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: You know, both guys said around a thousand dollars. It's

565
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: a lot of work. I was wondering, um, if would

566
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: you recommend doing that? And there's no rust on the car.

567
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: I was thinking about the case seal, but well, is

568
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: it coolant or oil? It's cool? Um if it was cool,

569
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: and I'd give k C a shot. You know, it's

570
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: not gonna hurt anything. You know. The one nice thing

571
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: about and there's a lot of nice things about case

572
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: I should say it like that. You know, one of

573
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: the nice things about Case Seal is that the technology

574
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: behind it won't clogg anything. And they specifically state that

575
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: in all their literature, and it was something the engineers

576
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, really worked really hard to create in in

577
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, we need something that seals,

578
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: but something that won't create an issue elsewhere down the line.

579
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: So you know, for bottle of sealer, it's it's worth

580
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: a shot. It's it's because I know what you're saying.

581
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,479
Speaker 1: It's a thousand and six sixteen, it's twenty five going

582
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: on twenty six years old. Nice car. You know, parts

583
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: at some point will become an issue. And you know,

584
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: as I've said throughout this hour and other shows, you know,

585
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: the older cars are great as long as you can

586
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: get parts for him. And that's you know, you know,

587
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: the paints chipping off a little. Yeah. I mentioned that

588
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: about the case seal to a guy at work and

589
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: he said, just make a key over by the heater

590
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: hoses right up your heater cor No, that's what case

591
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: heal specifically says it won't do. So they they you know,

592
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what if you want to hear

593
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: it right from the horse's mouth, and I don't. I've

594
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: I've talked to these guys. Listen. I just I just

595
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: used case seal this past week and an O five Saturn. Um.

596
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: I think I spoke about last hour. The last hour

597
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: of this hour lost track, but we had an old

598
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: five Saturn that needed a lower radiator hose the hose

599
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: was pourus. I put the hose on, the entire inside

600
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: of the hose was rusted and cruddy put it together.

601
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: Birke the air car was good customer, and pick it

602
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: up for a couple of days. I decided to start

603
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: it again. I started it a day after I had

604
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: done it, and wouldn't you know, within ten minutes of

605
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: running it, warming it up and checking the heat and

606
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: so forth. Now the radiator springs a leak. Now, now

607
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: what do you do? You got an old five Saturn,

608
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: It's fifteen years old, h and fifty thousand miles. You know,

609
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: it's it's not worth the It wasn't worth the price

610
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: of the hose. Now it's definitely not worth the price

611
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: of the radiator. It's just the cooling system found the

612
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: next weakest link. Put a bottle of caseeal cars fixed

613
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: down the road. It's got heat, it it works, it

614
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: does everything that's supposed to do. Yeah, ron, I haven't

615
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: had to do too much to this car. And I

616
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: put a radiator in. I got cervical art my neck,

617
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: so I can't. I can't you tackle the job like this.

618
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: I'm fairly handy, right right, Yeah, you know? And I

619
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: put in the recovery tank. No, that would go right

620
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: in the radiator, in the radiator. You know, if you

621
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: want to, if you want to read more about it, Dan,

622
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: get out the k seal dot com. Get out to

623
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: their website and you'll see it there. They've actually got

624
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: some videos there, I believe. And uh, there's an eight

625
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: hundred number you can call company headquarters and uh, you

626
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: know you can ask you can answer them the same questions.

627
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: They'll give you the same answers. And I've used it,

628
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: We've been using it the better part of got it's

629
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: gotta be five years, but time flies each other, pages

630
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: off the calendar so fast. Some years. Uh, you know,

631
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: in all the years we're using it, we've never had

632
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: a clogg A heater or corp. We've never had a

633
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: clogg A radiator. Um. One of the bad things about

634
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: the internet and neighbors that think they can fix cars

635
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: is the wise tales that get created. And uh, you know,

636
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: a lot of things have changed since we started this conversation,

637
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: never mind the last five, fifteen, twenty years of auto repair.

638
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: So UM, this technology resource for me. I'll tell you,

639
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: I listened every week I get you on the podcast.

640
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: I listened to it at work. Thank you, sir. We're

641
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: we're glad to be here for you. But uh, I

642
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: would do that and you know that doesn't work. Then

643
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: you can make a decision. Do you want to you know,

644
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: do an intake manifold guest, get and uh drive a

645
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: classic to work every day. Good luck to you. Let

646
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: me know what happens. Dan, if you have any more questions,

647
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 1: you know where to find me. Zero, I'll be right here.

648
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: Don't go away. Welcome back, calm, name the car doctor

649
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: real quick. Let's go to Frank in New Mexico. Frank,

650
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor. Sir, Hey doc, thank you.

651
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: Question about my seventy two Lincoln Continental with the optional

652
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: sure track brake system. I want to change out all

653
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: the fluid. This has a little valve in there were

654
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: and when you step on it during the next him breaking,

655
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: it pulses the rear brakes to reduce the chances of

656
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: total lock up. It was an optional thing. Suck brake system.

657
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: The special way I need to bleed that not that

658
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm aware of. And you know, seventy two. Even if

659
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: there were, Frank, if there were special tooling involved, nobody's

660
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna have it, so it's it's a lost cause at

661
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: that point, bleed him the way. You know, if you

662
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: heard me describe the break bleed method, uh that I

663
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: talked about this hour with the cup and the rubber

664
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,479
Speaker 1: hose and you know all that. You know that'll work fine,

665
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: You'll you'll never get it out the rest of the way.

666
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: It depends. You know. Back in the seventies, Ford was

667
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: big into they were into TVs, T e v E,

668
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 1: s Anti lock, they were into Bosch Anti lock brake systems.

669
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is. I don't know what

670
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: this is the early infancy factory manual, so I can

671
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: further it, but I remember we did about thirty forty

672
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: years ago. My buddy was underneath any it was at

673
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: some valve and they and I believe is a value

674
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: you have to manually press down. And that's fine, and

675
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: if you've got to procedure, follow it. But if they

676
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: start with you need an electronic because there were some

677
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: there were some back in the day that needed uh

678
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: I'll call it an electronic buzz box that plugged into

679
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: a connector that activated solenoids. The very early you know,

680
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: predecessors of what we see as modern day scan tools.

681
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna have that tool today. But if you've got

682
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: a simple mechanical way to do it, do it. Frank

683
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: And as always, I appreciate the call, thanks for being there.

684
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm not an aiding the car doctor, reminding you, as always,

685
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. Let's see
