1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,520
Speaker 1: Have you noticed how wonderful it is that the way

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: they designed the car, that the driver's door is right

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: out in the middle of transic Ronan. You know, I

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: love programming or cards. Just the challenge is just it's

5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: like sometimes it's like snowflakes. There's just no two programming

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: events that are life the Car Doctor. So this young girl, Kim,

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: she comes to the shop. She she says, I think

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: I have a flat can you fix it? Now? I

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: look at the I think I have a flat can

10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: you fix it? Tire? And there's a chunk missing about

11
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: four inches square because she hit the curb. She couldn't

12
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: comprehend how that needed a tire. My car has one

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: of those door handles A lot of people have. My

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: think now, the kind of door handles which is recessed

15
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: a little bit into the door, and you think it's

16
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: actually going a little before they grab it. Don't you

17
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: like that? I like that. That's why they're not going

18
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: to make it anymore. Welcome to the radio home of

Speaker 1: show Wow, what do you want to talk about today?

45
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: I guess we'll talk about cars. Well, I want to

46
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: talk about this. I had this revelation. You know, as

47
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: I drive, I I think when I drive, like everybody else,

48
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: but I kind of think about five things at once.

49
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: It's a you know, you run things around in your head,

50
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: and I have to believe that one of the most well,

51
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: I guess one of the most common questions are one

52
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: of the biggest questions I get is how do I diagnose?

53
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: Where do I begin? And how do I just how

54
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: do I attack it? And I thought about that, and

55
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: I take all the questions that you guys give me

56
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: the heart, and I try to come up with the

57
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: best answers I can. And I think, you know, the

58
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: best example I can give is like this here, I'm

59
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: gonna take my first yellow note off the board today.

60
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: I think it's in the pre flight interview, as I

61
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: like to call it. You know, there's an awful lot

62
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: of information in the interview when you when the customer

63
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: brings their car. And Lincoln Navigator came into the shop

64
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: just this week and the problem was the power mirrors

65
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: were both acting up. The power mirror on the driver's

66
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: side didn't have up and down tilt, and the power

67
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: mirror on the right side didn't fold. You know, they

68
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: have their power folding mirrors. You can hit the button

69
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: and you know, in and out. And in the course

70
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: of the conversation with Joe, he said, yeah, they worked

71
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: good up until the snowstorm. And he said then after

72
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: the snowstorm they started acting up. And then he thought

73
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: about it. He said, well, actually, the driver's side mirror

74
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: started acting up about three weeks ago when the rock

75
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: hit it, which was the first clue. And the passenger

76
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: side mirror started acting up after the snowstorm. As I said, well, okay,

77
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: I wrote it up. I got some time on a ticket,

78
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: put the ticket in my rack, and you know, that

79
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: was a born in the next day and we I

80
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: looked at it, got into the car eight o'clock in

81
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: the morning. You walk out to the car, Lincoln Navigator,

82
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: and you say to yourself, all right, let's see what

83
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: are the mirrors do. And the driver's side mirror, sure enough, yeah,

84
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: and it hit by It had been hit by a rock.

85
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: There was a bull's eye, you know, the glass was

86
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: sort of shattered under the milar, under the protective cover

87
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: that they put over the top of the glass because

88
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: this had um. I forget the exact term photo photo

89
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: refractometer or something. It's some special option with Ford where

90
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: the the you know, it's not the objects that a

91
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: pure smaller than they are, but it's a it's a

92
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: super fancy day night. You know. It's nine seventy five

93
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: dollars worth a plastic and glass, which is what it

94
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: came down though. That's how much the mirror was. It

95
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: was the most absurd thing I ever saw. One mirror

96
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: N seventy bucks left side alright. Believe me, I thought

97
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: this thing could. I was really ready, you know, like

98
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: I thought this mirror would be able to talk to

99
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: the probe on Mars because this thing just had everything

100
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: in it, okay, and it was broken. It at physical

101
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: damage That made sense to me. The rock came up

102
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: and hit the glass, that damage the motor, I get it.

103
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: That one made sense. The passenger side mirror, I couldn't

104
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: get the fold. The power fold didn't work, and I checked.

105
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: I checked for voltage. There's eight wires. I checked for

106
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: power and ground going up to the mirror, and I

107
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: didn't have it. And I said, well, maybe I'm not

108
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: testing this properly. So I said, let me take the

109
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: left side apart, because I have to take the left

110
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: side apart anyway to do the mirror, and let me

111
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: see what the left side looks like. The left side

112
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: had power and ground, everything was where it was supposed

113
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: to be, but the right side wasn't working well. It

114
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: would be easy to say, all right, let's start chasing signal.

115
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: But something kept nagging me about the way the failure happened.

116
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: The turning point in the repair was. I ran that

117
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: phrase around in my head. It worked great until the

118
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: snow storm. It kept going around in my mind, and

119
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, that's the turning point, that's the pivotal moment.

120
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: That's when it broke. And then it came to me.

121
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: I went and I read the procedure, and according to

122
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: all of that, and the procedure is that you can

123
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: power fold the mirrors four to six times in a

124
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: seven minute time period, after which the system shuts down.

125
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: They don't want to damage the motors. So if the

126
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: mirror motor is stuck or somehow obstructed, the mirrors obstructed,

127
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: you're up against the wall, you're up against the garage,

128
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: you're a little bit close to the side of the house.

129
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: You can't damage the mirror trying to fold or unfolded.

130
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: I plugged everything back together and I tried folding the

131
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: mirrors again, but this time I did it repeatedly. I

132
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: went into what we call programming mode. Turn the knob center.

133
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: It pulled the knob back once, count to two, pulled

134
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: the knob back twice, count the two, pulled it on

135
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: back a third time, and all of a sudden, the

136
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: motor goes kicks the mirror out. Made a heck of

137
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: a racket though, because inside the plastic ratchet was broken.

138
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: It was damaged. And the point is in the interview

139
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: when he said to me Ron, it worked good until

140
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: the snowstorm. And I called him up and I said, Joe,

141
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: you said it worked good in the snowstorm. What happened

142
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: that you were playing with the mirror? And he said, well,

143
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: it was frozen and I couldn't get it to budge. Okay, bam, Right.

144
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: He tried to get it to move. Guess what, Just

145
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: because it moves doesn't mean it's good for it all right,

146
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: simple case said, we had to put two mirrors on

147
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: the car, but we had reason because the right side

148
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: mirror when he when he when he smacked it with

149
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: his palm, he physically damaged the ratchet inside. And every

150
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: I could get it to now, I could get it

151
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: to program. Once I put into program mode, I could

152
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: get the mirror to move, but not on a consistent

153
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: Bay says every third or fourth folding event, the mirror

154
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: would skip a tooth and get stuck halfway out, and

155
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: I have to go into program again. So the point

156
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: of this is the turning point. Here was the pre

157
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: flight interview. That pre repair interview is so darn critical,

158
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: and you have to listen to everything the person says,

159
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: and you, as the person saying it, I have to

160
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: tell us the truth. You have to tell us what

161
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: really happened. Don't wait till after the fact to go

162
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: by the way, the mirror was frozen and I hit

163
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: it with the palm of my hand, all right, because

164
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: it actually saved Joe money. It saved Joe some time

165
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: diagnostic wise, and I was able to get to the

166
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: heart of the matter very quickly rather than have to

167
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: go through this whole routine. Why wasn't there voltage? Why

168
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: was there no signal coming out to the mirror? I

169
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: can't prove it. But after I programmed that, I had

170
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: signal again. I believe the modules shut down power because

171
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: it lost its calibration. So the electronics are smart enough

172
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: now that they'll shut down circuits that aren't working or

173
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: working properly in order to avoid further damage. Because let's

174
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: face it, the car companies are building cars that cost

175
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: them money. If they can save money by shutting something

176
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: down before it damages it more while it's under warranty,

177
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: all the more power to him. The turning point that

178
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: preflight interview. Listen to what they have to say. By

179
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: the way, the the one side mirror was nine seventy

180
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: five bucks. The other side mirror was seven dty dollars.

181
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,599
Speaker 1: A two thousand dollar mirror repair. I just and he

182
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: was happy to pay it. He just wrote the check.

183
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: Said hey, you know, he said, listen, it's a it's

184
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: a Lincoln Navigator. He goes, it's a seventy eight thousand

185
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: dollar vehicle. What's too grand? At least I got my

186
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: mirrors working, and and and that is that is the

187
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: God's honest truth, And that is I have to look

188
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: at it. It's boy, where we come from, right sixty Ford,

189
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: fair Land, big chrome, mirror over and the rest of

190
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: you stick your heart and adjusted. Boom. Now we have

191
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: a knob that you know, for two thousand dollars, we

192
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: can tilt the mirrors in, tilt the mirrors out, put

193
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: him up, put him down, left, right, sideways. Oh my god,

194
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. It's just what technology we're into. Eight five

195
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: five zero nine nine zero zero. I'm running any of

196
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: the car doctor, come on back, join me and let

197
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: me find the turning point your repair. Let's talk about

198
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: whatever is bothering you in your car right after this

199
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: need advice on how to maintain that classic g t O.

200
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: Ron is the guy eight five five five zero nine

201
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: nine zero zero. Here's Ron. Let's get over the line

202
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: to talk to Dennis Wisconsin. Dennis, you around with the

203
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: car doctors. Sure, how can I help? Yeah? I got

204
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: a four? Or yeah, don't at all? Is it cold air, Dennis?

205
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: Or is it just lukewarm? Very very very cold, very cold?

206
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: So it's just like you don't have the water add float. Okay,

207
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: is it is it? But it's and it's stone cold.

208
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: It's not even lukewarm. Yeah, all right, So you know,

209
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: if we assume that all your parts you're put in,

210
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: are good thermostat's good radiator, water pump, etcetera. You're you're

211
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: down to one of two things. You're down to either

212
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: a clogged heater core, restricted heater core, which it doesn't

213
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: sound like because you're saying it's stone cold, are all right?

214
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: The heater cores and those do have a tendency to clog,

215
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: and back flushing the cord directly would be the way

216
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: to do it. Not the system, but disconnecting the two

217
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: heater hoses, figuring out which one is the inlet, and

218
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: back flush. Take the water and push it through the

219
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: outlet into the inlet so that you get the crud

220
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: out before you embedded further into the core. He did, okay, okay,

221
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: heats the core. Okay, So then you're down to you know,

222
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: are the hoses hot or cold? When the engines running

223
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: up to temperature? That I couldn't really tell you, all right,

224
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be let's bring the engine up to

225
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: operating temperature, all right. And here's where a scan here's

226
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: where a scan tool will come handy. You can watch

227
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: it by the temperature, see what the computer seeing as

228
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: far as temper doesn't anything fancy a plain old basic

229
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: O B D two scanner will tell you temperature, especially

230
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: on a Ford. A lot of the Fords don't have

231
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: cooling tempt sensors in the factory information. You have to

232
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: use cylinder head temp, which is kind of it's goofy

233
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: on their part. We use O B D two. It's

234
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: a conversion into cooling tempt so you can watch cooling temp.

235
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: You should expect to see that thermostat open somewhere around

236
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: a D eighty six degrees come up to temperature around

237
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: an You know, once you get through degrees out of

238
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: that thermostat, out of that out of that engine itself

239
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: by scan tool, those heater hoses, one of them is

240
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: gonna be real hot and the other one's gonna be cooler. Alright,

241
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: one's the inlet ones the outlet. If if that's the case,

242
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 1: if those hoses are within forty degrees of engine temps,

243
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 1: So if engine tempts a hundred and you've got a

244
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: hundred forty five to a hundred and fifty five degrees

245
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: of heater temp going in through the hoses, and you

246
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: can measure that with a with a heat gun, with

247
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: a thermal imager. I mean there's a host of ways

248
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: to do it. Um, touch it to your hand. You

249
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: know it's feel the upper radiator hoses, the upper radiat

250
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: hose uncomfortable to hold? Is the is the heater or

251
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: hose inlet uncomfortable to hold? If they are, then then

252
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: they're pretty much, you know, within the same range. Then

253
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: you're down to you've got a hot heat or core,

254
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: you've got flow. You're down to the blend door, actual

255
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: etor or the blend door itself. Look at the front

256
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: door of your house, Dennis. It's it's. The front door

257
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: of your house is hinged, right, there's hinges on it

258
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: to open it. Underneath the dashboard is the same thing.

259
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: There's a plastic door on a metal rod that goes

260
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: through the heater case. That's the hinge. Either the hinge

261
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: is broken such that the doors being commanded open. You know,

262
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: you're wife's telling you open the front door, Dennis, get

263
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: some fresh air in the house, and you can't because

264
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: the hinges are stuck. Same thing, right, Uh, it's it's it's.

265
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: It's it's either the hinges are stuck or broken or

266
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: on top of the heater case for the blend door

267
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: is what we call a b d a blend door actuator.

268
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: It's a little electric motor probably two and a half

269
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: by two and a half inches square, all right, and

270
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: they're known to break. And if it is the blend

271
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: or actuator, and you get one apart, have your mechanic

272
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: taken apart. You'll laugh it when you look at how

273
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: cheesy it is. It's just a bunch of plastic gears

274
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: and a little circuit board and you say, my god,

275
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: this thing actually runs the car for the heat. Uh.

276
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: It's it's mind boggling how cheesy it is. But you

277
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: know you're down to either the blend door stuck um

278
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: blend or stuck or the actuator. Now, if you find

279
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: if you find that you go through this and the

280
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: heater hose inlet is scolding hot to the touch and

281
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: the outlet hose is cool or cold, you know it's

282
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: there should be a thirty or forty degree difference. If

283
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: you find there's a hundred degree difference, you know, a

284
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: major difference, then you've got to then you've got to

285
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: address maybe you still have a restricted heater corps. All right,

286
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: So but that's that's generally where you are, all right,

287
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: It would not it would not be uncommon. If memory

288
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: serves me right, your mechanics should do a little research.

289
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: But I think he's gonna find that if he pulls

290
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: the glove box out, if he takes the glove compartment out,

291
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: pull the door down, take the box out, you'll see

292
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: the blend or actuate or the b d A sitting

293
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: right to the left of the glove box. If you're

294
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: sitting in the car on the passenger side, just to

295
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: the left of the top of that glove box opening,

296
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: I believe the b d A is sitting right there

297
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: on an O four. They're not They're not terrible to

298
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: get to if I recall correctly. Alright, alright, so do

299
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: a couple of those things. And if you want to

300
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: hear this again, if you've got the ability to a

301
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: podcast the first hour down around the I mean, you

302
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: can hear this diagnosis all over again. All right, all right, sir,

303
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: thank you very much, You're very welcome. You take good care.

304
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: But he needs heat though, huh, how cold could it

305
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: be in Wisconsin this time of year? Ten degrees? You know,

306
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: if it's if it's fifteen, I understand they all get

307
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: out there with their lawn chairs and suntown motion and

308
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: they you know, they like they're warming up. But of

309
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: course they have not much else to do Green Bay

310
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: and get to the super Bowl this year, so they're

311
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: all disappointed. Barbecue, don't forget. They get the barbecue out,

312
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: and they all get the barbecue out. It's um. We'll

313
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: tell you what it was. It was amazing how the

314
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: cold snap here in the Northeast on Monday. I mean

315
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: we were running through batteries. We were selling to three

316
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: batteries an hour on Monday. I mean it was just

317
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: like this revolving door. We were calling up for batteries

318
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: and wiper blades on Monday. It was if And I

319
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: was shocked. You know, new people. They opened up a

320
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: new building down the street from the shop. Lucky me.

321
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: They knocked down this big, giant lumber yard and they

322
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: built this housing complex with three homes. Perfect. That's what

323
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: I need, six hundred more cars. You know, it's I

324
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: got nothing to do. Um. We were just doing you know,

325
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: first time customers. Everybody was getting a battery. It was

326
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: just amazing how people kind of let things let things slide.

327
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: So it uh, it was. It was just brutally cold,

328
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: and I guess that shows that I don't know. We're

329
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: just not We're just not ready for the bad weather.

330
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: But I will tell you this. We are here. Here,

331
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: we are at the end of January. I was thinking

332
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: about this. It's January, by the way, Tom, happy anniversary. Um,

333
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: you know what you know today? You know it was

334
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: funny because when I was putting the opens together for

335
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: the show, uh last night, I was taking the look

336
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: and I accidentally stuck them in the wrong folder because

337
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: January was the first show, and that's the folder that's

338
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: on my computer. That's our first um, first self syndication marking.

339
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 1: So we're now how many years we uh six? We're

340
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: into the sixth year. I've been doing this since and

341
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: now we're into the sixth year of this evolution. Uh,

342
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: we're will the next evolution take us? I can't wait

343
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: to see. It's been a heck of a ride. And

344
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: I've been blessed to have Tom and now Mike with

345
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: me and Tony wherever Tony might be. And uh, we're

346
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,439

357
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: eight Nissan rogue and a mouse problem. Mickey's coming to

358
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: visit your hell, Lewis, what's going on in the fall

359
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: of Lord Mortar? Cartner makers make an annoying to have

360
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: her mechanic which was not easy to do under the

361
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: dash the terminal mouse mash here two weeks ago it

362
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: happened again. Also, a mouth mask got into that campin

363
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: airfield or to where are they getting in the car? Yeah, yeah, over, Well,

364
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: you know, Louis, they're they're squeezing in and I mean

365
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: they can. A mouse can get under a garage door

366
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: a third the height of the thickness of its body.

367
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: It's amazing how they squeeze into tight places. Uh. The

368
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: key here is how he deter them. Has your mechanics suggested,

369
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: or has anybody suggested to you possibly taking a plastic

370
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: bag with some moth balls, punch a hole in it

371
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: and put it around the car under the hood to

372
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: keep him out away from the vehicle. We have tried

373
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: fresh camp in the cabin, you might say, and also

374
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: dryer sheets. You're supposed to help, but you know they're

375
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: they're not. They're not from the inside or from the

376
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: outsider getting in that, right. You know, a couple of things,

377
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: a couple of things outside, and it's in other wise

378
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: it's on the open front shed. That's where stored, which

379
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: probably is the bad right. Um, so it's the vehicles outside.

380
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: I got to say, we got a little bit a

381
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: bad phone connection. You're saying the vehicles stored are kept outside, Lewis,

382
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: it's outside part of the time and otherwise it's in

383
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: on open the front shed. And our dogs do not

384
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: allow cats, right yeah, um yeah. Listen, I had cats

385
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: and I still had mouse problems. The cats would look

386
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: at me and go, yeah, what do you want me

387
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: to do? Um? So yeah, yeah, I don't think the

388
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: cats well you know what it is. We'd feed the cats.

389
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: The cat will go hey, I'm getting fed. Either way,

390
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: I need to chase anything. Uh you know, you know,

391
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: I don't really think we own cats. I think cats

392
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: on us. I think it goes the other way, you know,

393
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: and they know it too. I think cats were the

394
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: first real aliens. They uh you know, cats know that

395
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: they were here for Um. What I would try is

396
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: I try a plastic zip blocked bag, fill it with

397
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: some morthballs and stick it in the front corner of

398
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: the car under the hood in each corner, uh, you know,

399
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: just just as enough of a deterrent. The other thing

400
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: you could try is in the area around the cabin

401
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: filter where you think they're coming across. Honda Honda Corporation

402
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: makes something called rodent tape, all right. You can actually

403
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: get it out on Amazon part numbers four oh one,

404
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 1: nine seventeen, or you can just search for Honda rodent tape.

405
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: And you know, Honda had such a problem with their cars.

406
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: They were actually wrapping this tape around the wiring harnesses

407
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,239
Speaker 1: and some of the other components trying to deter them.

408
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: You know, you could put this around the area leading

409
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: up to the cabin filter perhaps, or just to get

410
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: them to nibble on it, and it gives them enough

411
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: of a kick that it sends them scurrying in the

412
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: other direction. Uh, you know, just just just just try

413
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: that and that, you know, it depends on if they're

414
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: they've got to be nibbling on something, you know, either

415
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: the rubber insulation or you know, anything that looks like

416
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: they're fascinated buying. I probably wrap the wiring harness or

417
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: some of the underhood wiring harness, even the wiring harness

418
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: you know in the cowl area there. Whatever, you can find,

419
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: just anything that would attract them to it that if

420
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: they nibbled on it, they learned to stay away, you know,

421
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, and that you can find that you can

422
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: find out on Amazon. It's a pretty decent sized role.

423
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: It's not cheap, it's like bucks, but it's a decent

424
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: length role. And that might be the ticket for you

425
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: because it's got to be cheaper doing that than taking

426
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: the car to the mechanic every two years to have

427
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: them up to clean out the mouth. With that number

428
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: again in four oh one nine dash seventeen. And if

429
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: the number has changed, it's easy enough to find. Just

430
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: Google search. Just Google search Honda Rodent ape and it'll

431
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: come up. You'll good old kinds of sources. Al right, well,

432
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: all right one, thank you for being on k m

Speaker 1: A radio. Thank you, sir. We're happy to be there.

434
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: If everybody cam hey, we appreciate them supporting us over

435
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: the years. You take good care. Thank you. You're very welcome.

436
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: With Tom you had to. I was gonna say, allow

437
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: me to tell you my mothball story. Go ahead, tell

438
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: us your mouthball story. I had a transmitter that I

439
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: was rebuilding, and I couldn't get this one mouse out

440
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: of the building. He wouldn't leave, I couldn't chase him out,

441
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: and finally he settled up in what's called the meter

442
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: bridge and the transmitter. So I took a bag of

443
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: mothballs and threw it up in the meter bridge and

444
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: closed the meter bridge for the night. Came back the

445
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: next day, opened up the meter bridge and there was

446
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: Mr Mouse with a nest built on top of the

447
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: moth balls. So he was he was a Southern mouse

448
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: and he just he just didn't care where he was.

449
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: Either that or he had bad sinuses, because man, he

450
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: was sitting there mocking me. Was it was it making gestures? Yes,

451
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: and I won't tell you what kind down the air.

452
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: So it was a new York mouse. You bet you

453
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: bet it was, and I bet it was, so I

454
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 1: can imagine. Let's go and talk to Jim and Missouri

455
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: oh five Ford Ranger and some few all economy issues. Jim,

456
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: welcome to the car doctor, Sir, Hi, how are you good? Sir?

458
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: it's a it's an old five forward Ranger. And um,

459
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: I bought it a year ago, and I've done all

460
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: kinds of work to it, and I've had the same

461
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: problem from the beginning. If the mileage isn't too good

462
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: and um, and it thinks and a long story sharks

463
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: I ended. Um, the engine was wor out when I

464
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: brought it. I didn't realize that and actually took it

465
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: out as a kind of rebuilt put it back together.

466
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: They said it's gonna fix it because it was using

467
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: in a quarter oil every three and that oil was

468
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: causing all the problems. Which which is which? Which engine

469
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: is this? Jim? It's it's the two point three, Okay,

470
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: it's it's the fourth cylinder. Okay, yeah, so it's a

471
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: brand new engines, all rebuilt doesn't use oil anymore. But

472
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: you know, I got twenty one miles ago on my

473
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: last Hank and I drive an hour and a half

474
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: one way to work each day, so three hours you know,

475
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: round trip, all interstate and uh opposite of rush hour.

476
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: And I'm getting t you one in twenty two miles

477
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: down with it. And the pinging is tamperature sensitive. If

478
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: the hotter it is outside the worst of gifts and

479
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: we're over stevy degree. It just sounds like it's gonna

480
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: tear us off apart right now. We've been down into

481
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: ten and twelve degrees and doesn't pain. So obviously it's

482
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: heat related. Uh the engine when when you when you

483
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: replace the engine, was it was it a new engine

484
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: or a used engine? No? No, we rebuilt the engine.

485
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: So to a machine shop and they rebuilt it. Okay,

486
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: so let me ask you this question. The machine shop

487
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: has got a lot invested in this simply because if

488
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 1: the engine were to fail as a result of the pinging, Um,

489
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna lose the engine. What do they have?

490
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: Have you gone and talk to them? I have, and

491
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: they don't have any ideas. And I took it to

492
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 1: I took it to the Ford dealership and had them

493
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: check it out. And they said it's running perfect. They

494
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: can't even knitpick it and I said, but it's pinging. Well,

495
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: we don't know. That's what Ford told me. Um, and

496
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: I don't think there was an each R valve on

497
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: this particular UH generation ranger. So um, it does have

498
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: a n e g R valve that I replaced. I

499
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: replaced both oxygen sensors, the ketatic converter, the mass airflow sensor,

500
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: the map and anti knock sensor, and there's a temperature

501
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: sensor in the head. I've changed all of it. Okay,

502
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. If you if you manually

503
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: open the e g R valve sitting at idle, does

504
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: the engine stall. I've not tried that, all right, Why

505
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: don't we try that? Because if it does install, that

506
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: shows us that the e g R is opening, but

507
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: either the passageway is restricted. I'm just trying to get

508
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: back to basics, you know. E g R. The main

509
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: purpose of the n g R valve xost gas recirculation

510
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: is to induce exhaust back through the air fuel charge

511
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: to lower cylinder temperature. All right, it's not to be reverned.

512
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: It's the lower cylinder temperature. The idea being that it

513
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: quenches down or cools down the incoming charge. It changes

514
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: cylinder temperature to lower it down to help prevent pinging

515
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: and detonation along with the formation of knox oxides of

516
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: nitrogen UM. Not to get technical, but that's what it is.

517
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: If that valve when you hand pump it open with

518
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: vacuum or whatever means you can find to open it

519
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: and it doesn't start to run rough at the very

520
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: least and or stall, which it should, tells me we've

521
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: got an e g R circulation issue. First place, I look.

522
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: First place, I look. Oh yeah, I you know. Um,

523
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: if you can get your hands on a scan tool,

524
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: if you look at the e g R valve, is

525
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: there a three wire sensor sitting on top of it? Um,

526
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: it does have electrical plug going to it. Okay, so

527
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: that I bet you that's a three wire sensor, and

528
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: one of those, I bet you it's gonna be a

529
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: brown Let me think a brown wire with a green trace,

530
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: a black which will be ground, the brown with the

531
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: green will be the signal return. And then it's gonna

532
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: have a red or some form of a red wire,

533
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: which will be a five vault reference. And you can

534
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: actually watch on a scan tool to see what that

535
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: e g R valve opens up to. Um looking to

536
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: see voltage as well as does it open. So focus

537
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: on the e g R valve this week. Call me

538
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: back next week. Let me know what you find out. Okay?

539
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: Will all right? Sir, you're keep me posted. You're very welcome.

540
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: Eight five five five six zero nine zero zero. Car

541
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: doctors got a prescription for you. Well you gotta do

542
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: is pick up the phone. I'm ronning any in the

543
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 1: car doctor. I'll be back right after this. Hey, welcome back,

544
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: rightn't any of the car doctor? I know Michael was

545
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: pointing at me and I was kind of eight five

546
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: zero nine nine zero zero? How do I get myself

547
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: into these messes? Geez, what a coincidence. Let's go and

548
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: talk to Robert in New York. Robert Harding any of

549
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: the car doctor, sir? How can I help? Hey? Run um?

550
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: I was just wondering last weekend with the weather really

551
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: dipping cold up here my old diesels, I used to

552
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: run a couple of gallons of kerosene in the full

553
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: tank to sit it out. It's the easiest study and

554
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: running right. Um, Now I've got a two thou eighteen

555
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: Silverado Dermax and that's a completely different animal than I'm oh, yeah,

556
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: that's it. Is there any harm in running some kerosene

557
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: in that? Because I know I got a two thousand

558
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: thirteen Votswagon and they tell you right in the owners

559
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: manual not to put diesel, not to put gasoline in

560
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: your diesel. Well, and I have to agree with that,

561
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: and I believe that you're gonna find that's the same

562
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: with the een. The problem is, you know, if if

563
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: it's a diesel from twenty years ago, there's no filters

564
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: and no electronic controls, there's you know, there's minimal um

565
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: uh computerization so to speak. Once once the diesel became computerized,

566
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: if I can use that term, you know, all bets

567
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: are off. A lot of things changed. In the case

568
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: of a eighteen. You know, the particular filter, I would

569
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: be worried about, the you know, the exhaust after treatment systems.

570
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: I would be worried about an awful lot that. Yeah,

571
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to run carosene through it.

572
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: If you're having an issue and cold weather. The only

573
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: thing I would tell you to add to that tank

574
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: is whatever flavor of you know, aftermarket diesel treatment, whether

575
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: it be something from GM. I know GM has got

576
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: a couple of diesel treatment fuel system treatments that they

577
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: market through a c delco um or you know, one

578
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: of the aftermarket ones from either uh you know, CRC

579
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: or Berryman or whoever it might uh you know, actually

580
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: have something, but you know, to put something in that's

581
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: not really approved. Believe me, there's a lot of thought

582
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: that goes into what what they allowed to burn through

583
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: the engines today because they're worried about what goes in,

584
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: what comes out, and what it does to the environment

585
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: as well as the vehicle. All Right, So I'm gonna say,

586
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, no, it's uh, it's it's not worth

587
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: the effort. But on a positive side, that is a

588
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: very nice truck, right, I mean, it's it's stolen quiet.

589
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: That's that's that's one of the it's it's can you

590
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: tell you can't even tell it's a diesel right the

591
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: way it runs it so quiet. It is very quiet. Yeah,

592
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: it is very quiet. They've really improved diesel technology a lot,

593
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what we're talking about in terms of,

594
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, the difference. You know, it's um, it's just

595
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: it's just a vastly different vehicle than what it once was.

596
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say no, don't do it. All right,

597
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: thank you very much, You're very welcome. Um, yeah, everything

598
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,239
Speaker 1: is you know, nothing is is what it once was. Uh,

599
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: there isn't. There's there's very little. And you know it's funny,

600
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: it's very There's very little you do today that you

601
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: did the same as what you did five years ago,

602
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: ten years ago, fifteen years ago. I came across my

603
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: Diesel Volkswagen Rabbit as we used to say in the day, wabbit,

604
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: my wabbit Diesel t D I engine rebuilding tools in

605
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: the corner of my toolbox and they've been there all along.

606
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: I just you know, I don't I don't open that

607
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: draw that much. And you know I was, I wasn't

608
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: down in that quadrant of the toolbox that much in

609
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: the past couple of years. You know, I think it

610
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: permission because it's a long way down the wall. But

611
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, I opened up that draw and I looked

612
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: in there and I went, wow, look at that cam, timing, bar, dial, indicator,

613
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: all the mechanical things we used to say, pump timing,

614
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: you know, from the seventies and the eighties, and you

615
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: just you think about it. We don't do that anymore,

616
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: all right, We just you know, the computer does all

617
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: this now, all the technology, all the timing, all the adjustments,

618
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: and it's um, you know, it's you just look at

619
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: all the tools you're gonna throw out someday because there's

620
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: just no I was looking at the wall of polyst

621
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: and I could go on for I was looking at

622
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: the wall of books in the shop. You walk into

623
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: the front of the shop and there's a wall of

624
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: books all right, you know, Mitchell and Chiltern and Motorate

625
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: remember children manuals back when Chilton was actually a book company.

626
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: And there's like a wall of books, And I'm saying,

627
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: what am I doing with all this stuff? Like, you know,

628
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: I never opened these books anymore. I've got I've got

629
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: a parts in labor guy from three eight three thousand,

630
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: three thirteen. It's thirty five years old. When's the next

631
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: time you think I'm gonna open that up? Right? Like?

632
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: What am I doing with it? And you know, but

633
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: you just collect things. It's I think. I think when

634
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: you're retired, it depends on how much you have your

635
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: your game more in retirement by what you can throw

636
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: out in terms of ton of how much everything weighs.

637
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: But a lot of technology is changing down under the bridge.

638
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: All that information in those books and then some are

639
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: on online on a computer that we get fed to

640
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: the computers in the shop every day. We don't even

641
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: use C D s anymore. That's all gone. Eight five

642
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: zero nine zero zero. I'll run any of the car doctor,

643
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: gonna pull over, take the pause. I'll be back right

644
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: after this. Let's squeeze a few more in. Run on

Speaker 1: I was three years out of high school, so you know,

655
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: in the forties something years since this vehicle actually came

656
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: out on the road. This is a good vehicle. What

657
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: else can I tell you? It's it's a nineteen seventy seven,

658
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: is it original? How many miles around it? What does

659
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: it look like? Um? You know it's please but I

661
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: this one comes to us. I love this guy. He

662
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: always writes me such great email. Not that that was

663
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: a bad one, but that would just kind of let

664
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: me scratch in my head. I won't have time to

665
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: do all of this. We'll have to say this, but

666
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: just to get started on at Michael from down Texas

667
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: Way Renne that was only retired after a collision rendered

668
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: it irreparable, and he was referencing a caller we had

669
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: gotten this week when he sent that. He says, Gary

670
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: needs shocks and struts. What struck me was the very

671
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: low mileage of his car for a Toyota. The model

672
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: was the last of the original Ciena was the best built.

673
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: Mine had three hundred and fifty seven and thousand miles

674
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: on it, and I've seen him hit a hundred thousand

675
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: miles or more. Um, he just talks about things that

676
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna have to save this email for another

677
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: time because it's just really amazing what goes on in

678
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,959
Speaker 1: Texas with their cars. It's uh, it's just a great state,

679
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: it really is. I'm running any in the car, doctor,

680
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
