1
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Ron Anian Orto repair is like, you've got to be

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: like Colombo. You've got to sort of work in there

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: like Peter falk And and you know, kind of give

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: it that, you know, squint to the eye and which

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: he did very well, and just sort of shuffle up

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: to the car and just what's going on here? I

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: must say, I mean, you're incompetent, the car doctor. And

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: then they put the new battery in. What was the mistake?

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: Show of hands. That's right. The guy in the third

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: row back on the left side, he's right. He's showing

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: me the flash card. He's saying, Hey, they didn't do it,

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: idle relearn bingo. Give that man a cigar. I'm terribly sorry.

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of Ronan the Car Doctor.

Speaker 1: for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If your mechanics

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: giving you a busy signal, pick up the phone and

17
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,000

00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: to talk about this. I wanna I'm gonna comment somewhere

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: along the way this hour next uh, this is two

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: hours is our first hour here Saturday two to four

31
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: pm Eastern timeline on the network and delayed podcast throughout

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: the rest of the country the rest of the weekend.

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: I've got to make a comment at some point about

34
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: the A s C research that I took this week. UM,

35
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: A s C L one Advanced Engine Performance and you

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: can see by the test. Maybe I'll do it now

37
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: and get it out of the way. Uh, you can

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: see that where A s C Automotive Service Excellence, where

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: they're going is they are getting the I think they're

40
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: getting this the industry ready for the electric vehicle. Very

41
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: very very heavy electronic electrical questions on the A s

42
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: C L one research. I think there was two mechanical questions,

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: thirty five questions about relays, and the rest just were O,

44
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: B D two and monitors and things like that, but

45
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: just staggering amount of You've got this relay, you've got

46
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: four pins, you've got voltage, voltage, voltage, voltage, UM, the

47
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: car doesn't start, what's wrong with the car? That kind

48
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: of thing, And it boggled my mind. It I actually

49
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: ran out of time. I had the time passed, and

50
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: you know that that's what counts. Right at the end

51
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: of the day, I wins a win that passes a pass,

52
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: but I didn't get the completed. Usually I have twenty

53
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: minutes a half hour left over. The last three questions

54
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: I guessed in the last two minutes, I just made

55
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: the best calculated guests I could um to get through it,

56
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: because you know, you think about it, there's if my

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: math is right, there's a hundred and fifty minutes and

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: two and a half hours. There was fifty questions. That's

59
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: three minutes a question, three minutes of question NonStop for

60
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: two and a half hours. And there was no easy answer.

61
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: There was no you look at it, oh thirty seconds, bang, yeah,

62
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: it's this. No, it takes you thirty to forty five

63
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: seconds to read the question. In all fairness, it probably

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: takes you a minute to read the question. Read it again.

65
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: Make sure you understand and saw what you saw when

66
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: you saw it. I saw what I saw when I

67
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: saw it, say and then come up with the answers.

68
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: So you've got two minutes to answer a minute to

69
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: read it. It was staggering, hardest, hardest a s C

70
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: I've ever taken in my forty three years now, forty

71
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: two years of repairing cars and taking tests. And I

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: can see that ten years from now that test will

73
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: become entirely, entirely electrical electronic with no mechanical questions whatsoever.

74
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: Um getting the industry ready to look cat you know,

75
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: how to repair this or how to repair that? And

76
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: unfortunately I was thinking about this driving home from the test.

77
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: Maybe the next a s C revolution of tests won't

78
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: be you know, you have voltage, voltage, voltage. It will

79
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: be the board went bad. How do you open the

80
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 1: draw to slide it out and put the new board

81
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: in and start the vehicle back up by means of

82
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: electronic interconnection? And um, you know yeah, just just wow,

83
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: um uh, tough test, tough test, anybody out there taking

84
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: it like they get your opinion. If I got any

85
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: brothers in arms out there that have taken any recent

86
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: a s c S, I'd like to hear what they

87
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: have to say. I'll tell you another one that that

88
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: annoyed me before we get to the phones, and I

89
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: know Bills over there with a few others waiting on

90
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: the phone lines. Just one second. Um had a one

91
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: of the prep test questions was you know they give

92
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: you the the you get to take the prep test

93
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: before the test? Was an engine doesn't start? It has

94
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: low compression on all four cylinders? Is it a burnt valves,

95
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: be blown head gasket, see warrant piston rings or d

96
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: broken timing belt. Burnt valves don't happen in one cylinder.

97
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: Burnt valves, you know, it's usually one cylinder burns valves.

98
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: It would be rare to see all four valves burnt

99
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: in an engine. So you're looking at commonality and what's

100
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: the most probable is the way the questions are always worded.

101
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: See you take burnt valves off the test, same thing

102
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: for a blown head gasket. Blown head gasket is not

103
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: likely because it's usually one cylinder or two cylinders, not

104
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: four cylinders or eight cylinders or whatever the number. So

105
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: that comes off the possibility you're down to warrant piston

106
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: rings or broken timing belt. A broken timing belt if

107
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: the engine turned over, depends on where the piston is.

108
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: What the compression reading would be, depends on what the

109
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 1: valve is doing. Is a valve letting something in, pushing

110
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: something out whereas the piston it would be low uneven

111
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: compression with a broken timing belt. The answer I came

112
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: up with was warren't piston rings, because in my mind

113
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: warren is where if an engine theoretically where's evenly you

114
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: would say it's got to be Warn't piston rings? Right? No,

115
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: A s C says it's a broken timing belt. I

116
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: got to write them a letter. I think they're wrong.

117
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: I think that's a I think that question is inaccurate

118
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: and promotes inaccuracy in terms of test taking. And excuse

119
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: everybody's mind, all right, and I you know that's what

120
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: we're up against, folks, And that's you know what. And

121
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: if we can't get the test the prep test questions right,

122
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: we can't get the test test questions right. Nobody wants

123
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: to take a s c S. And that's why that's

124
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: part of the problem. Why you have issues with you know,

125
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: mechanics being mechanics. It's they're they're battling an uphill uphill

126
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: line all the way. So just something to think about.

127
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: Let's get over to talk to Bill in Michigan. Um,

128
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: not like anything I have to say is important anyway.

129
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: And uh, let's go over and see what's going on here.

130
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: That a very interesting commentary. And I think that reflects

131
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: the real world. This stuff is getting more and more

132
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: difficult by the hour it is built. And you know,

133
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: if we're gonna take tests, let's take accurate tests. And

134
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: and and I don't care how they do it. But

135
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: there hasn't been an a s C test that I

136
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: haven't taken over my career. And I've taken I've taken

137
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: a s c S probably eight or nine times now

138
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: where I haven't sat down and said, they ask you

139
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: the question and you go, what kind of car is it? Um?

140
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: You know, because on a Chrysler it will be this,

141
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: On a Ford, it will be that on a G

142
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: And they'll they'll tell you that they try to write

143
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: generic you know, no pattern failure type of questions and

144
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: it's difficult, it really is. And I'd really like to

145
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: hear the argument for the broken Tommy belt causing low compression.

146
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: It should be low uneven compression and you know so.

147
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: But anyway, how can I help you today? So good

148
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: to hear from you. I got a two thousand two

149
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: Grand Prix Standard three eight six thousand miles. Got two

150
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: problems from primary. One is a fuel gauge failure. I

151
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 1: bought the modularly see Delco module with a new pump.

152
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to go change everything while I'm that deep

153
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: into it. The problem I'm having is removal of the

154
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: gas tank locking ring. It's pretty well rusted in there. Yea.

155
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: There are four prongs prongs that attached to the tank

156
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: and the ring sets over the top of that. On

157
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: that ring, there are two steel prongs about an inch

158
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: and a half high that apparently you're supposed to get

159
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: a tool between and being able to twist it out.

160
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: This is rusted very badly in there. I've been hitting

161
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: it with gibbs and uh hammer and a brass chisel. Um,

162
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm now going to go to a non sparking pneumatic

163
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: chisel because I can't break it just with the hammer.

164
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: Any am I missing anything tanks? Two? You know the

165
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: the only other thing you can do is find that tool.

166
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: There there was a tool that you know, um locked down.

167
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: It was the negative impression of that ring, so it

168
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: looked like an upside down castle that would actually fit

169
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: into those notches. And then you can put a three

170
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: eight or half inch ratchet on it and give it

171
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: a pop on all four and and and if you

172
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: if you pop it all four, maybe that'll shock it loose. Okay,

173
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: all right, you got it ordered. It should be here

174
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: in the week ors. Okay, Now, if you break the tank,

175
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: then the that then the well then the bigger problem

176
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: is is the tank still available? No, they just continued

177
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: in two thousand and ten. I've got to find to

178
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: use one, but I've already got one lined up because

179
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: I can very easily foresee that happening, right, you know

180
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: you have to and you know there's I mean, obviously

181
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: the web now makes life so much easier, But you

182
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: can um go out there and find used tanks to

183
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: get something from a southern you know, a southern salvage

184
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: yard if you have to, where there's where there's a

185
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: little rust. But yeah, that's that's that's not uncommon. Bill.

186
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: We go through that all the time. It's poke and

187
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: hope and pray. Um, you deserve combat pay for what

188
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: you guys do. You know, we had one. I'll tell

189
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: you a quick story we had. We have a customer

190
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: two thousand Nissan Frontier. He bought it as a used

191
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: vehicle from a very sleazy used car dealership. And I

192
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: say it because this one particular guy was just he's

193
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: just bad moves. This guy, um, is just not a

194
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: nice guy. And we straightened out the e g R

195
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: light or d g R fault in the check engine line.

196
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: We've done a bunch of works to the truck and

197
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: it's slowly coming back to the point where it's okay.

198
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: Rick the customer, poor guy's you know, he's trying to

199
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, having some father and son bonn time. And

200
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: they went to change the oil uh last weekend, and

201
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: it took a half inch breaker bar to break the

202
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: oil drain plug loose. But what they ended up doing

203
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: was they didn't break the drain plug loose, They broke

204
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: the well did nut on the inside of the pan loose.

205
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: So now the drain plug spins with the nut, doesn't leak,

206
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: but they can't get it out. Now on a two

207
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: thousand Frontier four wheel drive, in order to drop the pan,

208
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: you have to pull the front axle out, you have

209
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: to pull out a bunch of cooler lines. And it's

210
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: it's it's easily three quarters of a day's work, you know,

211
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a uh, it's a struggle on a

212
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: non rusted vehicle. This baby is eighteen years old, all

213
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: right in New Jersey. In New Jersey, you need a

214
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: technis shot looking at the thing. Um, you know, before

215
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: you even touch a wrench, so you know, yeah, it's

216
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: it's who's gonna fix that? And how are they going

217
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: to fix it? And uh, you know that that that

218
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: becomes an issue, that becomes one more item if I

219
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: buy run out of time. I got a dual dual

220
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: manual climate control on this. No matter where you put

221
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: the selector on, you know, you get air out of

222
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: the defrost and out of the floor, but not where

223
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: you want it to go. That sounds like a mode

224
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: door actuated. Yeah, you got you got the ability to

225
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: pull codes with this bill. Yeah, um pull some codes.

226
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: See if you've got any codes in the body faults,

227
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: um or in the h v A C and then

228
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,599
Speaker 1: go from there. But it sounds like a blend or

229
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: not responding, and you know you can just sort that

230
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: out from there. And my advice is I'm ahead. There's

231
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: some confusion on the terminology. Is it a Blend door

232
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: or actuator or is the mode door I understand they

233
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: call the selector a mode door actuator. Yeah, it could

234
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: be mode door. Actually, I you know blend door, mode door.

235
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: You're right, Um, I stand correct that Blend doors for

236
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: the Blend door actuator is for the temp control. Mode

237
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: door actuator is for a position. Um. What I was thinking,

238
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: what I was gonna say was if you do have

239
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: to take part of the dash apart to get to

240
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: one while you're in there, change everything you can get

241
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: access to because they're they're not easy to eat, core

242
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: and evaporate a C evaporator Court two years ago. So yeah,

243
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: I've been in there, yep, So you know where I'm

244
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: coming from. So all right, once again, your great resource.

00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: I was reading an article and I'm not gonna go

Speaker 1: know a recent article that was written by a Jamie Kittman.

265
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: He talks about Ford's decision. You know, as I'm sure

266
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: everybody's aware of, Ford is going to abandon the the

267
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: car market here in North America by by almost the

268
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: Fords vehicles will be truck and utility and commercial vehicles,

269
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: And I'm saying, are you kidding? Like is that putting

Speaker 1: you know, what if the price that has goes to

272
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: four dollars again? And somehow I don't see my wife

288
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: with me, dude. Let's get a religne to and talk

289
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: to Rich, Richmond, Virginia, rich Welcome to the car doctor, Sir,

290
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: how can I help? Hi? Ron, it's Rick and you

291
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: and I. You've worked on this car. It was my

292
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: mom's nineties seven Camra. UH, the A B S light

293
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: and the tracks an off light initially started coming on

294
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: and then um later the check engine light came on.

295
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: It wound up that. My diagnosis I'm getting is UH

296
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: had the code weight, but the it seems to be

297
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: the alternator because it's triggering the check engine light to

298
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: come on, is what my guy is telling me. I

299
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: don't know if that's the case. Someone else told me

300
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: I should replace the A B S module and I

301
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: don't think that's it. Well, let's let's let's back up here.

302
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: So let's talk about the check engine light. That's someone

303
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: plugging a scan tool. Yeah, I got a P zero

304
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: which is saying it's an intake air sensor, and I

305
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: don't think that's it. I think it's just what I've

306
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: been advised recently is that it's getting false codes because

307
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: the it's only putting out twelve vaults roughly at a

308
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: normal drain. Okay, so let's let's let's let's let's stop

309
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: all right, We that's okay. We we need to we

310
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: need to take some basics, all right. This is a

311
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: case where we need some basic information. You know, if

312
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: it's got a if it's got a P zero one

313
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: eleven or P zero one ten, whatever, it isn't take

314
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: air tempt sensor. Let's let's test the sensor, all right.

315
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: There's ways to do that. The easiest way would be

316
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: to bring it up on a scan tool and read

317
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: the value. What does the computer say? You know, walk

318
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: up to the car plug and the scan tool. The

319
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: vehicle should be sitting overnight, and just turn the key on.

320
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: Don't start it, all right. If it's seventy degrees out

321
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: and the scan tool ambient air temperature sensor reads seventy degrees,

322
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: then it's correct. If it reads forty degrees and it's

323
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: seventy degrees out, it reads wrong, all right, um, Ambient

324
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: air temp sensors don't fail too common on those cars.

325
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: Usually they've been left unplugged and the harness falls down

326
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: underneath you and take boot and nobody ever sees it.

327
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: So before we start going down the rabbit hole, let's

328
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: let's just look at basics. Let's get the car running

329
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: once we get the car running, put a voltmeter on

330
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: the on the charging system. Let's do a let's do

331
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: a voltage and an AMP test. What can the alternator

332
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: put out? All right? I mean these are you know, Rick,

333
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: this is a basic car. This is you know, an

334
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: easier car to work on than what's on the road.

335
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: What's on the road. All right, basic tests here, let's

336
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: not jump the gun. And then and then last, let's

337
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: go take a look at the A B S and

338
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, see where we are. I mean, there's some

339
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: diagnosis that can be made. It's a it's a little

340
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: difficult because it's a nineties seven and you need to

341
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: go in through the connector under the hood as far

342
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: as accessing information. But you know, an alternator and and

343
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: an A B has control module. To just start throwing

344
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: parts like that at a twenty one year old car

345
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: without some sort of firm diagnosis, I you know, it's

346
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,479
Speaker 1: like it's like trying to take a and walk off

347
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: for short pier and not expect to get wet. I

348
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: think somewhere along the way somebody's gonna get in trouble.

349
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: Dig it. Okay, that makes perfect sense, And that's what

350
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: my mind. That was so thanks for giving me what

351
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: I thought was the right direction. You're always thank you.

352
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: You're always you know, whenever you're doing a diagnosis, Rick,

353
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: and for everybody else, whenever you're doing a diager and

354
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: you have questions about what's what could it be? Could

355
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: it be heart rate, blood pressure, you know, pulse. Always

356
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 1: go for the basics, baseline, the vehicle, understand what you're

357
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: up against, and work your way out from there. Eight

358
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: zero running end of the car doctor coming back right

359
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: after this. He drives that way. But when it comes

360
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: to fixing cars, Ron has card advice done right eight

361
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: five five five zero zero zero. Here's Rod. Hey wait

362
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: a minute now, Lucy, come here, Come here, Lucy. I

363
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: got Lucy the wonder Bug in here with me today.

364
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: She's helping me fix cars. Um she's a little old

365
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: waity from Pasadena. Yeah, she really is. She's getting old.

366
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: You know, she's eight years old now. And um, you

367
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: know it's funny. Before the show, I had her out

368
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: in the field next to the next to the studio

369
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: and she was, you know, I remember three years ago

370
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: she could she's a pit bull. By the way, everybody

371
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: and we could we could throw the ball for Lucy

372
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: and she would, you know, twenty minutes NonStop, just wouldn't

373
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: now four throws of the ball. She looks at me,

374
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: she goes, okay, I'm ready. Inside she came. She plumped

375
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: into the tile floor of the studio and just sat

376
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: there panting, And she's like, okay, I'm done. Just I

377
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: want to go to sleep now, all right? Can I

378
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: go back to radio? Okay? Go light down, baby, Um

379
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: go on to this article about Ford. Ford has a

380
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: better idea. I'm concerned about this for a lot of reasons. Uh,

381
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, let me read the article. You can write

382
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: a book field all things someone might say, think or

383
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: splutter about four recent decision to largely abandoned the North

384
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: American passenger more market. This is from Jamie Kittman. I

385
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: found this on msn UH in late April. Four CEO

386
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: new CEO maybe soon to be the old CEO. Jim

387
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: Hacket informed the financial community that coming North American portfolio

388
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: will consist of trucks and utilities and commercial vehicles UM Farewell, Fusion, Focus,

389
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: Fiesta and Taurus Solo. Things taller and wider and most

390
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: likely heavier. How did this happen and why cheap gas

391
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: is the obvious culprit. I think the author missed the

392
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: point here um at gasoline and almost two and a

393
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: half the three dollars a gallon, I don't know that

394
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: that's cheap gasoline. It's cheap in comparison to the rest

395
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: of the world, but I don't know that it's cheap

396
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: that it made the corporate decision. I think for did

397
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: it because they like selling big trucks, SUVs and crossovers,

398
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: which have a higher profit margin. M there in business

399
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: to make money. But I think this is a mistake.

400
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: I think you're setting yourself up for what happens when

401
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: gasoline skyrockets and goes through the roof. What happens when

402
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: there's another fuel shortage, if there's another fuel shortage or

403
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 1: a raising prices. Has anybody noticed kind of interesting right

404
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: where where we were just about two years into President

405
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: Trump's um presidency, Right, guys, price of gas is going up.

406
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: It's just starting to come down now. My prediction in

407
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: a year and a half, gas is gonna get really

408
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: cheap again. And you want to know why because it

409
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: will be an election year. I see this. I've been

410
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: this in my first day at the rodeo, folks, But

411
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: I keep seeing this all the time. Makes me wonder.

412
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: The article goes on to say hard to recall, but

413
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: guess mileage improvements are happening in this country after years

414
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: of cheap gas, natural national fuel economy stopped improving in

415
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: This is what government industry, much of the citizensry, citizenry said,

416
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: we weren't going to go through and do again. Thinking

417
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: back to two thousand and eight and nine, how different

418
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: the mood was when federal bailouts for GM and christs

419
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: are in A five point nine billion dollar loan to

420
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: Ford from the U. S. Department of Energy spawned a

421
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: generation of more fuel efficient power trains. And that's true.

422
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: And I don't get what's wrong with having a small

423
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,239
Speaker 1: car with fuel economy or why you can't have a

424
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: few in the lineup. Ford and was apologize for their

425
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: environmental I can't say that word prof p R O

426
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: F l I G A c Y prolifer It's not

427
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: proliferated as prolific proliferication, prolification, No, it's prolific. Gacy is

428
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: the way that reads acknowledging their own roles in their

429
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: financial troubles and the lack of fuel efficient cars, they

430
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: had to offer in times of high gas prices, So

431
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: then why are they going back to this? And that's

432
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: the part I don't understand. They testify that there was

433
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: nothing they wanted to do more than get away from

434
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: their overreliance on suv profits to build a new generation

435
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: of dans and vehicles while getting a big leg up

436
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: on this electric car thing. See that's where this is going,

437
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: all right, That was my interpretation as I read the article.

438
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: So Ford, hasn't you know the other foot, the other foot,

439
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: The other shoe could be a foot, the other shoe

440
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: hasn't dropped yet. Where they're going to Okay, we're not.

441
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: We're making trucks and SUVs, and now there's a gas shortage.

442
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna come out with this full lineup of

443
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: a full line of electric vehicles. And I think about

444
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: that in conjunction with the A Z test I just took,

445
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: and the questions they were asking me prompted me to say, Hey,

446
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: this is all about electric cars in the future. It's

447
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: not about internal combustion gas engines. And you know that

448
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: that's that's where this is going today. We understand this

449
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: position as an admiration or about of temporary insanity. I

450
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: don't think so. I think there's a bigger, bigger pause

451
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: for the cause. Here a momentary detour from the long

452
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: term strategy for America, which is to make more money

453
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: short term selling as many of the biggest cars they

454
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: can get away. With the prospect of an imminent autonomous

455
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: ride sharing ride sharing sales collapse future has them running scared,

456
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: convinced they need bank cash while they can, like the

457
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: rest of us, Detroit wonders us when the gravy train

458
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: is going to dry up. Someone told me the other

459
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: day sort of related to this, a seventy one Hemi

460
00:23:53,359 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: Kuda convertible on Barrack Jackson sold for over three million

461
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: in dollars three point to three point four some stupid number. Alright,

462
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: it's one of six henmikod Is made with convertible. It's

463
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: a real rare car. Blah blah blah blah blah. I

464
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: get it. When the government says no more gasoline ten

465
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: twelve years down the road, it's a flower pot. That's

466
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: all you're gonna be able to do with it. I've

467
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: come to the conclusion that everybody should take their hot

468
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: rod and muscle car and drive the damn thing because

469
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: there's there's You're just gonna it's just gonna go into

470
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: the ground. It's gonna get scrapped, It's it's gonna become

471
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: a museum piece. What's the point? Trust me, there's the

472
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: game is underfoot to rid the planet of gasoline. They're

473
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: they've they've got issues. I'm just closing Forward. Doesn't shoot

474
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: themselves on the foot with this, because weren't they started

475
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: initially to bring the car to the masses, right, Well,

476
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: that's that's what the model did. Yeah, absolutely, and I

477
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: and Tom I really think that's what they're doing. I

478
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: think they're setting themselves up for failure. I listen, I'm

479
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: no marketing genius, I'm no economic swamy, but it sure

480
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: doesn't make any ends to me. Um for President of

481
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: Global Make Markets, Jim Farley burnished Hackets not Cars promise

482
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: to investors by allowing that the company was also eager

483
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: to build more authentic off roaders. There's despite almost no

484
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: one ever going off road, which I don't understand that

485
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: market because what percentage of the population drives the vehicle

486
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: off road? Some of the people drive on the road

487
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: like they are off road. That's a different conversation. You

488
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: can't market to idiots. But you know, anyway, this brings

489
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: us to the question of the deeply, deeply psychological place

490
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: high riding SUVs, trucks and crossovers occupy in the human psyche,

491
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: meaning everybody wants a big vehicle, which I agree with that,

492
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: I really do. You know what, when you look at it.

493
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: I saw a YouTube video the other day. They had

494
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: a barn find on a nineteen sixty eight Ford Galaxy

495
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: eight or nine passenger station wagon four speed on the floor,

496
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: kind of a neat car, bucket seeds console, worst beat

497
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: on the floor and a four intercept the motor in

498
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: it and the car especially contracted by Ford to be built.

499
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: I mean, even then, we all wanted pass it. We

500
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: wanted big, right. You know, we've gotten rid of the

501
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: station wagon. The poor station wagon went bye bye, and

502
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: I think the station wagons were a great car. So now, hey,

503
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: what the heck, We'll hav an suv. It will holds

504
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: as many people as a station wagon. But it's heavier,

505
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a lot faster, I get it.

506
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: It's it's not great for fuel economy, and it costs

507
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: a whole lot more. You're right, let's go build SUVs

508
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: instead of station wagons because they're more affordable. I you know,

509
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: it makes no sense to me. Um. I think Ford

510
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: is shooting themselves in the foot. I think they're setting

511
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: themselves up for a problem. And I you know, they're

512
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: gonna be coming to us for a bill out and

513
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go nope. Two years ago, Ford boasted it

514
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: had been named Interbrand's best Global Green Green Bland. But

515
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: something happened on the way to the love and Ford

516
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: and the rest of the industry bumped into President Donald Trump, AH,

517
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: who created a safe place for the bigly regulated. The

518
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: big ly regulated I like that. To get back in

519
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: touch with their biggest, baddest selves. Along with other manufacturers,

520
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: Ford lobby the newly receptive government of a rule burner

521
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: in chief to overturn the upgraded but still in perfect

522
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: Obama eraic Cafe, Corporate shool, Economy and Admission standards, for

523
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: which they gleefully did. The industry, which had agreed to

524
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: the rules under much humbled circumstances, went back on its work,

525
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: meaning that back in two thousand eight and nine, when

526
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: Ford Motor Company and GM and Christs were struggling, they

527
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: said Okay, we'll build more fuel efficient vehicles. You gotta

528
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: give us the loans, and you gotta let us stay

529
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: in business. Um. I'll finish this when I get back

530
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: five zero zero Running in the car doctor, Come on back.

531
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: We'll finish the Ford story and take some calls. Welcome back,

532
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: running in car doctor. Let's uh so anyway, in conclusion,

533
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: let me just finished the story real fast. I know

534
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: we've got we've got some phone calls. UM. I think

535
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: Ford is playing economic and political dynamite here, um to

536
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: the point that I think they're going to find my prediction,

537
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: they'll be bringing cars back shortly after. I just don't

538
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: know that they're gonna be gasoline. I think they're gonna

539
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: be electric, and that's going to create the change over,

540
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: the changeover transition, and uh, let them get away with it.

541
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: Let's get over the phones and talk to Mike and

542
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: dennellan some comments about General motors getting rid of regular fuel. Hey, Mike, yeah,

543
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: I've heard about this. What are your thoughts? Yeah, ron

544
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,959
Speaker 1: I I was thinking about that and about the Ford thing. First,

545
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: they have a Eco sport Um, which is a subcompact

546
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: that they're going to be putting in places some of

547
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: the smaller cars. But the General Motors thing is, um

548
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: they said they're gonna be using higher compression engines and

549
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: being there's so many turbos being uh put out there,

550
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: maybe some superchargers. The engines are gonna run better and

551
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: cleaner with the higher test fuel. Now, what happens to

552
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: people who have a car that doesn't need that fuel

553
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: and it's just a waste you know, the older cars?

554
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: Well true, you know, and it is a waste. And

555
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that this is going to happen overnight.

556
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: But I also think part of what General Motors is

557
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: after is by running the vehicles that require higher octane,

558
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: making them run the higher octane, it creates less problems

559
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: with the engine. I mean, let's face it, running a

560
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: running an engine that requires premium on regular over the

561
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: long haul or even the short term can cause some issues.

562
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: And I think what Ford's trying, I mean, what GM

563
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: is trying to get away from is having those issues

564
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: become warranty facts too. All right, now, those particular engine said, however,

565
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: higher compression ratio such as the GMS, the Mazda's, the

566
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: new uh nissa on engines. Have you read about those? Yeah, well,

567
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: math do. As a matter of fact, it's coming out

568
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: with an engine with no spark plugs. Yeah, that's that's

569
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: the one I'm talking about. That's that's gonna need that

570
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: fuel as well. So we can see where this is going.

571
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: And then if the fuel is higher during the holidays, uh,

572
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: you just date another fifty cents on top and you've

573
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: got your margin. But then again, if you're only selling

574
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: one type of fuel, then why not drop the price

575
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: a bit and and let everybody be happy? Well, and again, Mike,

576
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: I can't you know. Okay, so Monday morning this week,

577
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna wake up and all there is is nine

578
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: five octane fuel, which is actually two points above most

579
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: fuels now most premiums now. So we wake up Monday.

580
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: Unlet it right, Well, I'm saying, unlet it all right,

581
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: it's got letter because we're deleted. And it used to

582
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,719
Speaker 1: be like Sinoka used to put that one oh eight right,

583
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: but you know we're not. We're not. And then we're

584
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: here now right right right now. Octane rating on fuels

585
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: are um usually in the seven eighty nine and ninety

586
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: three range. So let's say they get rid of all

587
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: those and all of a sudden it becomes ninety five octane.

588
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: How are they gonna do that? You know what? You

589
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: what are you gonna say to that single mom with

590
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: three kids that's struggling every week and you know her

591
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: money has budgeted out, and all of a sudden she's

592
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: got to go from paying to fifty or three dollars

593
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: a gallon to three fifty a gallon. That extra fifty

594
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: cents on the both ways, right, So I think what

595
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: will happen is, you know, premium will be the new regular,

596
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: and it'll be they'll figure out a way to you know,

597
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: make it mandatory where that car requiring gets listen. I'm sure,

598
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure they could come up with a sensor, a

599
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: no sense or something that the slightest bit of detonation

600
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: would turn on the check in in light and maybe

601
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: put it in a limited mode of operation that would

602
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: possibly reset with correct fuel, different octane reading, that type

603
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: of thing. You know what they're talking about. It they

604
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: haven't done it, uh do? I think they can depend

605
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: on how much money there is at the end of

606
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: the rainbow, because it's all about money. It's Mike, It's

607
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: all about money and emissions. That's all cars about. Because

608
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: I I read it this week and I said, I

609
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: gotta get to run and see what you think. Yeah,

610
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's all about money. Brother. They do

611
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: these things. You're very welcome, Mike. You take good care.

612
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: They do these things, folks, because it's about money and emissions.

613
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: It's it's you know, believe me, that's the underlying cause

614
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: they might make it pretty and they might make it faster,

615
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: but they're trying to also make money at it, and

616
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: that's why they do what they do. Zo N zero

627
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: spot where you put it. Um. I thought that was

628
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: well played. H just a little open critique on aarthought

629
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,239
Speaker 1: you know what, it sounded different? Why can't we do

630
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: that more often? So we can do anything we want.

631
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: We own the thing. So, um, listen, I want to

632
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,239
Speaker 1: talk about the real fix from the folks over at

633
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: Mitchell One, Real Fixed sure Tracks, the fastest path the fixed.

634
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: And I've been reading these of late. I've been reading

635
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: them for a while and and Real Fixed Sure Tracks

636
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: comes to us from the folks at Mitchell one, and

637
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: they're available out there on the web for mechanics and

638
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: everyone alike. It's basically real world scenarios of failures and

639
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: repairs involving the mitchell community. In other words, there's a

640
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: an online presence of mechanics that will contribute and help

641
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: out this guy in Florida, and that guy in Florida

642
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: then helps out the guy in Texas and so on

643
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: around the country. And um, they put these up on

644
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: the web. There's you know, I think we've given the

645
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: website before. It's uh, we'll get it out there Mitchell One.

646
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: We'll put up on the Facebook page. But the idea

647
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: is that they're there. Today's talks about It talks about panic.

648
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: Panic works for Once, is the title of this short

649
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: track fix. Sometimes it takes an unusual procedure to get

650
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 1: the job done even when you can't find especially when

651
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: you can't find any other solution. Shirt Track community member

652
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: Erico one had a Chevrolet S ten in the shop

653
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: of the soft break pedal and if there's several bleedings,

654
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: the pedal would go to the floor. He put the

655
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: question out to the Mitchell One community and with the

656
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: help of fellow community member Iron Nuts and others, they

657
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: were able to resolve the issue very quickly. The following

658
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: fix summarizes the interaction Vehicle ten Chevy soft break pedal

659
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 1: with engine running, repeat the bleed procedure, firm brake pedal,

660
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: engine off. Pedal drifts to the floor with engine running.

661
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: With engine running, the rear chamber of the master bubbles

662
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: constantly where brake pedal is being pushed. This is where

663
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: I thought it got very creative, even very interesting. They

664
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: installed to master cylinders. I get that that's that's the

665
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: doubt that mechanics carry with them all the time, at

666
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: least the good ones, because they're always concerned that they're

667
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: doing the job right. The break booster check fine. They

668
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: blocked off the lines after the equalizer and before the

669
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: A B S unit. The brake pedal stayed firm. There

670
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: was no way to energize the A B S hydraulic

671
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 1: unit with a SCANTL because it's an early production vehicle.

672
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: So what do they do? They asked around the community.

673
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: The community said, Hey, go out in the driveway where

674
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: there's gravel, do some panic stops, activate the A B S,

675
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: get that verb pedal vibration down at the bottom of

676
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: the pedal, and try bleeding it again. The air in

677
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: the system was released, the pedal got hard. All because

678
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: of asking the community. From the folks at Mitchell One,

679
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm not an any in the car doctor. The mechanics

680
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
