A Couple of things 42 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: going on this weekend. Um yeah, it's the fiftieth anniversary 43 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: of Star Trek. How cool is that? Right? You just 44 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: you think about what Star Trek spawned and created. And 45 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: I look at the cars and I think, did that 46 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: come from Star Trek Because some of the technology is 47 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: just right out of you know, um, heads up camera 48 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: displays and heads up dashboard illumination, and uh, look at 49 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: the communications we have now write the little cell phones 50 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: we have, their their their communicators. Uh. You know, sometimes 51 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: I think that we are on a little space mission 52 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: of our own. We're driving around on our own little 53 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: spaceships and the technology that's there. And then I see 54 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: the way some people driving, I gotta think they're from 55 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: another world because they're sure a second not from this 56 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: part of the universe. UM, because they're clearly not. Um, 57 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: well they're a little alien in nature. So but that's 58 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: going on. That's going on this weekend. Also, let's see 59 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: the NFL kicks off this week and uh, we'll see 60 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: how far the giants can actually go if they and 61 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: make the predictions and do what they say about staying 62 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: at the top of the NFL. We'll say, UM, not 63 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: too sure about that, and UM we can look forward 64 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: to that and UM. On a more somber note, it 65 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: is the fifteenth anniversary of nine oleven this weekend and 66 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: I still remember seeing, you know, when I walked into 67 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: the shop that morning fifteen years ago and seeing the 68 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: first plane hit the tower and I went, u oh, 69 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: somebody's in trouble and not realizing what it was like 70 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: so many of us did. And then when the second 71 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: plane hit the tower, I said, no, now now we're 72 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: under attack. And um, I remember very vividly when the 73 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: towers fell that I said, well, I said, now we're 74 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: going to war, and m here we are. So just 75 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: a somber note. So appreciate your freedom and demonstrate it, 76 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: stand up, salute the flag, and uh being American today, 77 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: I think that's some freedom of choice is what it's 78 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: all about. But respect what others have given and done 79 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: for you to get us here to this point. So 80 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: that's that's where I'll leave it at that. A couple 81 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: interesting things going on also this hour next hour, we're 82 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: gonna be giving away a Diablo Sport tuner. So we've 83 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: talked to the folks at Diablo Sport. I'm so impressed 84 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: with the little tuner that they gave me from not 85 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: not that it's a little tuner, but the tuner they 86 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: gave me for my truck we're using in the shop 87 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: as a demo piece to highlight and see how it works. 88 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: If you remember, my two thousand h Chevy Silverado had 89 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,239 Speaker 1: some performance issues, got my hands on a Diablo Sport 90 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: tuner and I was able to tune out or tune up. 91 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: I guess might be the way to put it. The 92 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: effects of well, I guess manufacturing software. It's interesting that 93 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: manufacturers software. You know, there's some limits to it. They're 94 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: they're they're limited in terms of what they can actually 95 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: accomplish and what they can actually do. And the Diablo 96 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: Sport tuner packages give you a bunch of choices. You 97 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: can custom tune, you can use one of their pre 98 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: tuned packages depending upon your vehicle configuration, and just a 99 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: bunch of other neat things. You can read more at 100 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: Diablo sport dot com. But we are going to giving 101 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: away a Diablo Sport tuoner this hour or next and 102 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: it's a four package. It's like a three price. It's 103 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: a big deal and we want to make sure you're 104 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: aware of it. So get on the phone zero zero, 105 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: get in and talk to us, and uh, you know, 106 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: if you're a lucky winner, then you know, fair hunting 107 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: for everybody. I'll leave it like that. Two thousand four 108 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: Chevy and Pala came into the shop this week. I 109 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: just want to talk to you about this real quick 110 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: before we get over to the busy phones. Um uh, 111 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: and just talk a little bit about because I hear 112 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: so much from you. You know wrong. We know you 113 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: can fix the car, but sometimes you're over our head, 114 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: all right, so you know what We're gonna try and 115 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: shift gears a little bit, no pun intend then and 116 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about from layman's terms. Oh four, 117 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: Chevy and Palla came into the shop and it had 118 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: a misfire. And I didn't get out the scope. I 119 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: didn't get in any of the high tech stuff. I 120 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: just tried to use common sense. I had a little 121 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: bit of time and I could play with the car 122 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: and just go through it on a simpler basis, and 123 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: I did. So if you've got a car with a misfire, 124 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: do what I did. Oh foreign Pala, it had it 125 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: had a fault code. You need a scan tool. You're 126 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: gonna have to have a scan tool, alright. It had 127 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: a misfire cold. Now you notice I didn't say it 128 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: had an ignition fault. It had a misfire cold. When 129 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: it started cold. After it sat longer than eight hours, 130 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: Typically the next morning the car would buck and miss 131 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: and stumble and hesitate and not run right. And you 132 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: could tell it wasn't hitting on all six cylinders. It 133 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: was running on four or five, depending upon how bad 134 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: the miss. Goot, Now this is a three point one 135 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is a three point four leader. Um, 136 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, there's a three point four leader distributorist ignition. 137 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: That's the word I'm looking for from thinking direct injection. 138 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm having a mind melt. Look at this. I'm I'm 139 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm hooked up to Mr spock um and uh it's 140 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: it's a three point for uh distributorist ignition car. So 141 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: that means it's got uh two spark plugs firing for 142 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: every ignition event, ones on the exhaust stroke, ones on 143 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: the compression stroke. And without getting too deep into distributors, 144 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: it's just suffice it to say that you've got to 145 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: consider things from all angles. The miss on this Impala 146 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: was on cylinder one P zero three oh one came 147 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: up each and every time. Of course, that's the back bank. 148 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: This engine set the way God never intended them to 149 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: sit set. You know, the other way. Instead of front 150 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: the back, it was side to side, so you had 151 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: a back bank and a forward bank. Number one was 152 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: the rear bank against the firewall. Had to under the 153 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: engine mounds, tilt the motor up, which two by four 154 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: up to hold it. Change the plug. Because I pulled 155 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: the plug out to look at it, I pulled the 156 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: wire off. The wire on that one came apart. But 157 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: I should point out that as part of your tune 158 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: up maintenance, make sure you're using Dielectric a release boot agent, okay, 159 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: because this person did not, and it cost them a 160 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: set of wires. Uh you know. We had to replace 161 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: the wires because when I subsequently found the bad spark 162 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: plug that I'm gonna tell you about in a minute, 163 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: the other wires wouldn't come apart. To say of their life. 164 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: We ended up having to do a set of plug 165 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: wires that weren't all that old. They were probably in 166 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: three year range, and typically they go longer on these vehicles, 167 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: especially this one. It didn't have a whole like a 168 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: lot of miles on it. And took the plug from 169 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: number one, swapped it out to number six, just a 170 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: different cylinder, and switched them vice versa. It's a simple 171 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: thing to do. Where does the miss go. If the 172 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: miss stays with cylinder one, then we know it can 173 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: either be the coil, the wire, the module, the injector 174 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: carbon issues something mechanical, but at least it eliminates and 175 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: tells us something. In this particular case, the misfollowed the plug. 176 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: Now the misfire went to P zero three oh six, 177 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: so I knew I had a bad plug on six. 178 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: I took that plug back out and looked at it 179 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: very carefully, and under a magnifying glass, I could see 180 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: a thin line of carbon tracing as if the plug 181 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: had developed a it was trying to fire through and 182 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: developed a small crack in the porcelain, or a small 183 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: track of carbon down the side, some sort of contaminant, 184 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: and it actually was bleeding the spark down the side 185 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: of the electrode and allowing it to arc on the 186 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: inside of the tube where the threads would be instead 187 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: of out to the ground. Electrode created a miss put 188 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: six plugs, and it put a set of wires on it, 189 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: and as a precaution, because it had a hundred and 190 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: fifty six thousand miles on it, did a very strong 191 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: carbon cleaning still has its place, yep. Even with all 192 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: the technologies and even with all the things that we 193 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: can do in the steady diet of fuel system cleaners 194 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: we can give to a car, carbon cleaning every eighteen 195 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: months to two years is still a very good way 196 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: to prevent problems because and it it did it. I 197 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: looked at fuel trims before and after, even when the 198 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: engine was running right when it was warm, and I 199 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: could see a change, uh, as a result of doing 200 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: the carbon cleaning, which tells me lots of carbon on 201 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: the intake valve backs and it was soaking up fuel 202 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: and affecting fuel trim because carbon acts like a sponge 203 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: here I am being technical again, carbon acts like a 204 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: sponge and it will skew fuel trim in the cylinder. 205 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: So carbon cleaning as a regular diet, as a regular maintenance, 206 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: is a great idea fuel system additive to the tank. 207 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: I don't know as much as your wallet can afford 208 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: every three months, every six months, every year. And you've 209 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: heard me talk about different fuel system cleaners over the 210 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: past couple of years, and I've gotten some emails from 211 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: you with you know you're confused. Well, I don't mean 212 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: to make it confusing. There are places I will use 213 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: one type, there are places I will use another type. 214 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: It depends on the vehicle. Is it g d I, 215 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: is it old school? Is it carburetted? Is it a 216 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: port fuel motor? Uh? You know just what exactly am 217 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: I working on because I found different results with different 218 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: chemicals and different cleaners. So be aware. If you have 219 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: any questions about what to put in, email me or 220 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: call me nine zero and we can talk about what 221 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: you should be putting in your car. And UM, I'll 222 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: write a prescription just for you and what your diet 223 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 1: should be. So just be aware of that. But in 224 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: the case of this impel, set of plug, set of 225 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: wire is a good carbon cleaning and the intermittent misfire 226 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: cold went away. Didn't use a scope, didn't use anything 227 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: more than a scan tool. And the thing God gave 228 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: me between my ear and my brain. And if I 229 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: can do what you can do it trust me. It's UM. 230 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: It's just being observant of what it is you're working on, 231 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: and UM you can kind of take it from there. 232 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: So stop throwing parts of the car and diagnose it. 233 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: By the way, a bunch of you, we've got a 234 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: bunch of emails about the airbag recall from Takata. We're 235 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: working on getting a personal injury attorney. We've actually left 236 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: some messages around the country with various attorneys. We're just 237 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: looking for somebody to come on. We want to talk 238 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: to him. We want to hear what he's got to say. 239 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: You know, what if what if you're in an accident 240 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: in a car with an air bag fault, who's libel 241 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: is dacado lyle just because they told you about the 242 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: fault or not? And you know that kind of plays 243 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: havoc on your mind. And then what if you disconnect 244 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: you know, your air bag and I'm not suggesting you 245 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: do that in any way, shape or form, and you 246 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: get into an accident, God forbid, who's liabel? And just 247 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: just some real general questions. And then the big one. 248 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: You know, they're telling everybody they've got at the cot 249 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: of air bag and they've got a problem. It's under 250 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: a recall, and so many of you saying they're talking 251 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: about not being able to get parts for the next five, six, 252 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: seven months. What what does that do to you in 253 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: terms of you know, comfort level, how safe you knowing 254 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: your your kids or your wife or your loved ones 255 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: whoever are in the front seat of that vehicle facing 256 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: that air bag. And then again, you know some families, 257 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: maybe you're hoping they're sitting in the front seat. Um, 258 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: you know, maybe that's part of it. Two you never know. 259 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: Um I got Tony laughing on that one. So but um, 260 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: just just things. So we're talking about the air bag 261 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: recall and uh, we're trying to get some more information 262 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: out to you for that. But anyway, let's let's pull 263 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: over and take a pause.

We'll 265 00:12:42,800 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: be back to kick the garage doors open right after this. Hey, hey, 266 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: welcome back right on Nady in the car docular phone 267 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: numbers eight five five zero nine nine zero zero. Give 268 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: us a call. Let me put my forty three plus 269 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: years of working on cars to your benefit and help 270 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: you come to a conclusion and fix your vehicle.

But if you've got a vehicle that isn't 274 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: running quite right and you're looking for some software changes, 275 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: then give us a call and be nice to Tom 276 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: when you call in, and uh, you know, we never know, 277 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: you never know you're gonna be the lucky winner. Let's 278 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: get over and talk to Mike Springfield, Illinois escape as 279 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: we kicked the garage doors open this hour and see 280 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: what's going on night. Yes, sir, how are you, Michael? Well, 281 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm doing wonderful. Thank you. We've been listening to you 282 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: for years and really enjoy it and do it to 283 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: shape your advice. Thank you, sir. Two thousand four two 284 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: thousand fourteen fourd escape. But it new runs great when 285 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: I make that clear, it's got the equal boost two 286 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: leader engine. Uh, my question is really quite stumple. Should 287 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: I have the PCM checked for a reflash? Uh? Frankly, 288 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: I plan on driving. I like it so much about it. 289 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: I typically keep my cards for a long time. But 290 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: is that a silly question? Well, if you don't have 291 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: no problem, why do we need to do that? Well, 292 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: and you know who said that, the Ford dealer or 293 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: your mechanic. Well, the Ford dealer, Uh, who is my mechanic? 294 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: You know, I'm kind of surprised at that. I you 295 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: know what we were talking about this just the other 296 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: day in the shop and my personal opinion is that 297 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: I think on an annual basis, all vehicles should be 298 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,479 Speaker 1: checked to see if there is a software update applicable 299 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: to whatever vehicle they're driving. And and for good reason, 300 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: there's a couple of different ashes out there now for 301 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: some General Motors products, problems with timing chains with General 302 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: Motors is going through, and some software updates that can 303 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: help prevent the issue or help modify the issue. So 304 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of good that software updates do. 305 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: And you know, the people that don't have those software 306 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: flashes done in certain situations are only really hurting the 307 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: vehicle long term, and it does affect performance. I mean, listen, 308 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: you know you buy a computer. How many times does 309 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: that get updated in the course of a year alone? Right? 310 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: How many? How many? How many times does that little 311 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: thought bub will come up on the down lower right 312 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: hand side that says updates available. You know you're driving 313 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: You're driving a giant computer mic. Yeah, And well, you know, 314 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: one of the concerns I truly truly have where I'm 315 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: heading with all this is the carbon since apparently you 316 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: cannot do a carbon cleaning on this engine, and and 317 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: my driving is less than fitza percent highway. It's a 318 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: lot of you know, less than ten miles shot drives. 319 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: Like if I want to keep it a long time, 320 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: I need to keep the carbon build up low, uh 321 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: to some degree. And that was my concern. And I 322 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: guess with a computer control that helps signition, in timing 323 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: and all of that. And I don't know much about it, 324 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: but well, there's not much I can do on my end. 325 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: I guess think of it like this, okay, keeping the 326 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: keeping computer software, not just in the engine transmission, the radio, 327 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: the navigation system, the sunroof module, the door control modules, 328 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: the rear hatch module. I'll tell you a quick story. 329 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: The littlest Nadian drives. The fourteen escape. I've mentioned that 330 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: here on air. She's out and she's out in UH, 331 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: out in school, out in the Midwest, and unfortunately her 332 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: car was reminded. I think I talked about that up 333 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: here on air. And she was in an accident, not 334 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: her fault. Somebody hit her. She wasn't hurt, they weren't hurt, 335 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: and she had the car repaired. I sent her. I said, 336 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: I had to go to a Ford dealer and they 337 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: repaired it. They had to install a new module for 338 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: the your hatch. You know, you have your auto open 339 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: auto close hatch on your car, and they didn't update 340 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: the software properly and get the two modules that module 341 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: talking with the rest of the modules in the vehicle. 342 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: Long story short, she had to go back and have 343 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: a software update as prescribed by Ford to correct the 344 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: communication fault and make everything more correctly, and it was 345 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: an intermittent problem until she had that corrected. So, you know, 346 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: software updates just it's it's more than just performance and 347 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: engine controls. And I mean, that's a big part of it. 348 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: But you know, I've come to the conclusion that I 349 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 1: think in the next couple of years, as it becomes 350 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: more and more of a dominant force, people are gonna 351 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: be coming in saying, hey, Ron, I need an oil change, 352 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: and I need you to check my vehicle for any 353 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: software updates and perform them. And I think it's going 354 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: to become a normal part of maintenance. I really do. 355 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: And and and by the way, with regards to you know, 356 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: keeping carbon down on that g d I engine, your 357 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: your best bet is going to be in tank fuel additives. 358 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: I can use that I've always used, you can use 359 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: your tech ron and actually in Rachel's vehicle. Um, I've 360 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: just I've been using tech Ron. I just started using 361 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: Berryman that you've heard me talking about up here, because 362 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of a stronger solution. 363 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: You can find Berryman um, I believe it O'Riley Odo parts. 364 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: Get out to O'Riley odo dot com.

But the Berryman product um 366 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: has been my because of their chemical and what's in there. 367 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: I've been using that of late and the were hopeful 368 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: good results from that.

Hey, Ron, 387 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: I took my newly acquired two thousand eleven christ there 388 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: three with a HEMI and for a cool and transmission 389 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: exchange there in sixty. Seems like a whole lot of 390 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: money for this service. What do you think? I listened 391 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: to your podcast asked for years, we put a lot 392 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: of miles on my cars together. Thank you, Ken brick Um. 393 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: And then Ken sent me the actual estimate. I looked 394 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: this over and Ken for everybody else out there. Yeah, 395 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: let's see. It was cooling system drain and flush which 396 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: was ninety seems reasonable, the trans flush which was You 397 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: can't argue with the labor. The labor is what the 398 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: labor is. Keep in mind, it's not necessarily based on 399 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: a cost per hour in terms of how fast it 400 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: takes them to do. The cooling flush is done with 401 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: a machine, but there's also some manual work there. The 402 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: machine has to be verified that the system is bled 403 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: and that the the the um UH system has no 404 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: air in it and coolant level is correct, and the 405 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: transmission fluid machine to do a fluid exchange a complete exchange. Basically, 406 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: the shop is betting on they're gonna be able to 407 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: do enough fluid flushes prior to that machine breaking down 408 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: and not working. So there's a charge for that built 409 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: into that labor coast also, so a hundred for each 410 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: give or take doesn't seem unreasonable. It's the price of 411 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: the fluids that raised the rice of this repair because 412 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: I think we're all used to less expensive cooling, the 413 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: anti freeze that Chrysler uses, and in this case it 414 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: was extended life. Now they've got decks cooled down here, 415 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: and this is a Chrysler product, imbedding ken that the 416 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: deck's cool they used as rated for Chrysler. But I 417 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 1: would go back and talk to them about that. Why 418 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: is it deck's cool and a Chrysler UH Chrysler coolant 419 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: is orange like decks. I don't know that it's the 420 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: exact same thing. I've never questioned that I use Chrysler 421 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: specific coolant and GM specific cooling in the respective cars. Uh, 422 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: you know it was two gallons of cooling for forty 423 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: four dollars. Is that unreasonable? Now price of cool and 424 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: has skyrocket and gone through the roof. We bought some 425 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: Mosa cooling the other day. It was thirty two dollars 426 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: for a gallon of of of cooling. Right, yeah, I 427 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: remember the days of anti freeze being six seven bucks. Right, 428 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: it's uh, it's different today. And then the the A 429 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: t F, the transflu A t F plus four twelve 430 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: dollars of court. Yeah, you're you know, you're in the game. 431 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Keep in mind six eight nine 432 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: quarts of transfluid because you're doing a complete trans exchange, 433 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: you're taking out the converter, you're taking out what's in 434 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: the pan, and all of a sudden, three and fifty 435 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: bucks is uh not not out of the realm. So 436 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: think of it like this, that two thousand eleven Chrysler. 437 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what a cost you used, I can 438 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: tell you new it was probably every bit of a 439 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: thirty eight dollar car. You spent one percent on the 440 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: value of the car in terms of maintenance. Doesn't seem 441 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: unreasonable to go another couple of years in those respective 442 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: repair areas and not have any problems. So just just 443 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: my two cents. But I'm always playing at to share it, 444 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: and I appreciate you being a listener, and I appreciate 445 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: the question. I really do. Let's get over and talk 446 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: to Let's go talk to Gary Hastings, New York, two 447 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: thousand one, view agregal and some problems with all the 448 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: different mirrors. Hey Gary, how can I help you? Sir? 449 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: Good lovely show. Thanks you for all your advice. Thank you, sir. 450 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: What's going? Well, we're trying. Yeah, there you go, Yeah, 451 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: there you go, right from Star Trek Live Along and Prosper. 452 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna try, bib. So what do you got? What 453 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: I got? I got the side view and the review 454 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 1: Merrism two thousand and one that had that nice auto 455 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: gimming life coming from behind. Yeah, I guess all the 456 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: time it's faded, Davy. Is it started like double Vision? Yeah? 457 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: They leak inside and they do all sorts of funny 458 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: things and and create havoc. And I bet the parts 459 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: are obsolete, no longer available. Well it's interesting because I 460 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: was looking on the web, you know, search to search 461 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: them the web, and I found one place that says 462 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: you can buy something almost like you've glue it on top, 463 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: and it said that it's going to continue to auto dim. 464 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: For me, it seems a little hard to believe. But 465 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: I see, let me check with you. Um what what's 466 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: the website. Let's talk about it. What was the website? 467 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: Do you remember? Yeah? It was auto dot glass dot com. Okay, 468 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: I had a couple of weeks ago. I had a 469 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: similar problem. Maybe it was more than a couple of weeks. 470 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: My memory kind of escapes me sometimes, And a customer 471 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: with an older car had this particular problem, and we 472 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: did a little research and we found a place down 473 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: in Texas, and if memory serves me right, it was 474 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: Radar mirror dot com. I think it was Radar hyphen 475 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: Mirror dot com or some such thing. And I haven't 476 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: hearned back from the customer. They went and did it 477 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: on their own, but it was a I think it 478 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: was a hundred dollar exchange. They sent down their old mirror, 479 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: they restored it, sent it back and you know, we 480 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: put it, we would put it back on the car. 481 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: I guess the customer put it back on the car 482 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: at this point, because it's been more than a couple 483 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: of weeks, and and you know, I haven't heard anything bad, 484 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: so I've I've got to think it worked out, believe me. 485 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: And I never I usually don't hear when the successes 486 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: are there. I usually only here, Hey, you know you 487 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: told me to do something. It didn't work. Um, but 488 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: you don't know anything about this thing, but they offered 489 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: it will give me an exact space. You put like 490 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: five little spots of blue on there, right on top 491 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: of the existing glass. I kind of stay away from 492 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: the getchy stuff like that garret, because I think that's 493 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: kind of you know, I think that's getchy. I think 494 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: that's that's you're you're going the long way to make 495 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: the point. I think, you know, I think a hundred 496 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: dollars for a replacement mirror, if that's the case, or 497 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: two hundred dollars if there's two of them. Do you 498 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: like the auto Do you like the auto deming function? 499 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: Do you like the auto deming function? Well, you know 500 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: what from what I understand this this this this company, 501 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 1: this website Radar hyphen Mirror dot com. I think it 502 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: was you know, they've got the ability to restore that 503 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: mirror and rebuild that mirror like GM originally made it. 504 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: So you know, even though GM didn't doesn't make those 505 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: mirrors anymore, I'm betting, and if they did, they'd probably 506 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: be seven a piece of m Yeah. Yeah, the glass 507 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: is in great shape. It just you know, when you're 508 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: looking at you like double basically at you. Yeah. So 509 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: that's why I say, take take a look online. Call 510 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: them first. I know they're down in Texas, and I 511 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: know there was an exchange program, and uh, you know, 512 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: if that doesn't work for you, call me back. But 513 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: I would tend to stay away from the glue and 514 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: the you know, the the wonder kit. You know, it's 515 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: um putting end aid on a broken leg, you know, 516 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: because they said it sounds too good to be true. 517 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes the cheaper price makes you raise your 518 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: eyebrows where you know, it's funny. We're all all we're 519 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: all looking for a bargain, and yet when we find 520 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: the cheapest price, I think it makes sense to question 521 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 1: and you know, how can these guys do it so 522 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: cheap when nobody else can. We were getting we're getting 523 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: the floors done at the house, and somebody came in 524 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: with a real cheap price to sand all the wood 525 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: floors and I we kind of looked at each other 526 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: and how can he do it so cheap? Uh? You 527 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: know it's it's it's almost scary to consider doing it 528 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: for that price. So, um, you know, sometimes the cheapest 529 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: isn't the right way to go. Well, their website, it's 530 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,719 Speaker 1: a whole page and they're telling you how great it 531 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: is and just blew it on and and and you 532 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: know what, maybe it is for some people. And that's 533 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: they call it discernment. Gary, they call it decision making. 534 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: And you got to do a little due diligence and research, 535 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: and that's that's where you're gonna get creative. Like I said, 536 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: take a look at radar Hype and mirror dot com. 537 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: Give them a call and see what they do, and um, 538 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: you know, we'll go from there. And I think they 539 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:56,719 Speaker 1: do all of it. As a matter of fact, if 540 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: anybody's got a radar detective, they've also got the capacity 541 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: that was eating their website. It was interesting. They've got 542 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: the capacity to install radar detector technology in the rear 543 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: view mirror. So if you want a radar detector, they'll 544 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: make the display appear heads up inside the mirror. How 545 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: they do it, I don't know. That's gotta be a 546 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: neat trip to um. That's gotta be a neat trip 547 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 1: to to take a tour of that factory. So I'd 548 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: like to see that. But yeah, that's where you're going, 549 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: all right, kiddo. Thank You're very welcome, Gary. Good luck 550 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: to you, and keep us post at eight five five 551 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: zero nine zero zero. The car Doctors coming back right 552 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: after this welcome back. We're getting of the car doctor 553 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: at zero nine zero zero. Let's go over and talk 554 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: to Tom, Green Bay, Wisconsin. Two thousand Lexus E S 555 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: three hundred. Tom, how are you? Good morning, good afternoon, 556 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: I should say, and one of the other. It's always 557 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: got to be one of the other. What's going on, Tom? Well, 558 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: I've had this Lexus for for a lot of years now. 559 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: It's at two thousand, the y S three hundred, and 560 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: just last week I noticed that after we had hauled 561 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: a carpet in the you know, we drinked it over 562 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: the console because it was too wide for the back seat, 563 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: and it must have been leaning on the gear shift. 564 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 1: And I'm kind of wondering if that may have had 565 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: something to do with this, But anyway, I get up 566 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: to highway speed around the say fifty or so, it 567 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: doesn't shift up into into fourth gear. And uh, it's 568 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: kind of come and gone since then. So some days 569 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: it's it's done that, and some days it seems right 570 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: back normal. Any any check engine light, Tom, Well, I've 571 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: had to check in the engine light on for a 572 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: couple of years now, but it's I've checked with the 573 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: local mechanic here, guy I really trust, and and he 574 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: said he's replaced the little thing and he turned it 575 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 1: off I guess couple of times, and he said, if 576 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: it's just gonna keep coming back out again, don't worry 577 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: about it. And it has not been a problem. Then 578 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: you don't know what fault codes in there, do you? 579 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. Um? Well, for the check engine light, 580 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: would you happen to know what fault code is setting? 581 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: Um No, I don't. Okay, Here's why I'm concerned about 582 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: the check engine light. I mean, listen, this, this could 583 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: be related to the gearshift position that you hit. I 584 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: don't think so. I would tell you somebody to get 585 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: a scan tool and verified does the scan tool read 586 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: if you put it in drive? Does the scan tool 587 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: red drive? And if you put it into it as 588 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: a scan tool, read to and that type of thing. 589 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: Two things come to mind as possible possibilities. Otherwise, though, 590 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: if the check engine lights on, um, you know, whatever 591 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: the fault code was before, has it developed a new one, 592 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: such as a P zero three five, which is a 593 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: knock sensor fault. A knock sensor fault is not uncommon 594 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: in these cars as they get older, and that will 595 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: keep that transmission from going into overdrive. It will prevent 596 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: the upshift sort of, it kind of makes sense. It 597 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: sort of makes the pieces fall into place. So that's 598 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: number one. I mean, you could have had a P 599 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: zero four twenty cat fault code which has nothing to 600 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: do with transmission shifting, and you're so used to looking 601 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: at it, and then all of a sudden develops a 602 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: non sense or fault. Nobody's making the connection. Hey, is 603 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: it the same code or did we get another code? Uh? 604 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: That's the danger of driving around with a check engine 605 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: light on for a while. You know that. The second 606 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: problem or possibility is this is an electric solenoid or 607 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: an electronic transmission in the sense that if you've got 608 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: a bad solenoid or a solenoid for fourth gear or 609 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: overdrive failing then and there. That's not uncommon either that 610 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: it will prevent that from intermittently going into or shifting 611 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: up into fourth also, so someone's got to sit down 612 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: and and and do some testing there and again back 613 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: to a scan tool and looking at shifts solenoids and 614 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: you know what's on, what's off, and what gear am 615 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: I supposed to be in and what gear am I 616 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: actually in? And some diagnosis. Um I made an appointment 617 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: to take it in to the local Toyota dealer and 618 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: they said they would they would check it for me. 619 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: So I've got that coming up this week, so see 620 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: what see what they see, what they come back to 621 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: you with. There's also a Bolton out there, Tom Charlie 622 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: Double zero five day Show four that talks about solenoid 623 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: identification and some other things about the solenoids in this transmission. 624 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: But if the dealers where you're taking it, they're more 625 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: than likely to have it, so you'll be fine. Okay, 626 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 1: what was the code that you mentioned before that should 627 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: be checked? Knock sensor? Does it have a knock sensor? 628 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: Ful P zero? Okay, knock sensor? All right, appreciate help. 629 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: You're very welcome and let us know what happens. Thank 630 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: you eight zero nine nine zero zero. I'll running any 631 00:31:40,280 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: of the Car Doctor will be back right after this.

Yes, Gil, Welcome to 641 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: the Car Doctor. How can I help? Hello, Ron, what's 642 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: going on? But my problem is this, I have a 643 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: Dodge Challenger. It's a five point seven and a six fta, 644 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: but I need a little more horsepower because my boyfriend 645 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: Jeep is blowing me away a little bit of competition 646 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: in the family. Oh well, you know, so he keeps 647 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: winning the bet and I'm sure it's creating issues. Uh, 648 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, any any dashboard lights on, Gail, and any 649 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: check engine lights anything like that. No, but there definitely 650 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: does feel like there's a little bit of a stumble. 651 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: Well i'll take it. I'll tell you what. Now, did 652 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: you buy the car new? Do you buy the car 653 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: used it was new? Um, so you know the service 654 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: history on it. How many miles around at twenty can't 655 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: be a lot. What I want you to do is 656 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: I want you to do two things. I want you 657 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: to take it into your mechanic and just have them 658 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: do a scan. Make sure there aren't any pending codes. 659 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: Make sure there are any pending fault. And like the 660 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: listener we had on prior that was talking about software updates, 661 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: just make sure the current release software is right up 662 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: to level as far as top of the field.

Where did that go? Hey? 710 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: By the way, this came into us from Eddie goydas 711 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 1: goitdas Capital. We love talking to Eddie. He's he's he's 712 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: a fun guy. He's our roving reporter. He says Ron 713 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: from your show two weeks ago. You're asking about what 714 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: the Codda's legal liability is. The answer is unknown. The 715 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: markets a better indicator. See Eddie always puts a nice 716 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: spin on this. He always kind of takes it into 717 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: the money side, and he's right. Um, he says the 718 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: market is a better indicator because buyers and sellers are 719 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: constantly arbitrating their risk and reward every second than any 720 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: single group of lawyer's opinion. According to the market, the 721 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: company's assets and future projected cash flows from operations still 722 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: exceed future expected cash obligations. And what Eddie's saying, or 723 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: what I read later furthermore here, is that he's saying that, um, 724 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 1: you know what, they're in trouble. They're running out of money. 725 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: So hey, I'm running out of time. So because of that, 726 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm wanting any in the car. Doctor. Good mechanics aren't expensive, 727 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: they're priceless.
