Speaker 1: where the flag o wamp wamp womp out in front

53
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: of the house. I'm up and I'm out changing anyway,

54
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: let's let's go to Ian in Montreal. Ian. Welcome back

55
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: to the car. Doctor, sir, how can I help you today?

56
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, hi, Ron, thanks for taking my call. So the

57
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: car is a two thousand and seven Pontiac Torrents about

58
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 4: eighty five thousand miles. We've had it since New Okay

59
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 4: last month. Last month I changed the wheel bearings and

60
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 4: breaks on all four quarters, discs, pads, Mevo tech bearings.

61
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 4: You know, I didn't get done nothing offshore. Everything was

62
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 4: name brand car for about three weeks. We drove quiet

63
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 4: and smooth. Last couple of weeks and we took a

64
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 4: trip to Toronto two weeks ago, which was about eight

65
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 4: hundred miles back and forth, and started to get a

66
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: loud wheel bearing sounding noise coming into the cabin. But

67
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 4: we could feel it on our feet, we could feel

68
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: it in the floorboards. So carran okay, we got home fine.

69
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 4: I checked it out the next day doing the lift,

70
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 4: one wheel, one wheel on the ground, thing, listening for noise.

71
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 4: Maybe I had a bad bearing like you said, yeah,

72
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: never ever worked. And the wheel bearings were fine, the

73
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: brakes were fine. Now there's a bearing on the right

74
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 4: right side axle is a support bearing. It's called the

75
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: intermediate shaft. Now that's about the only thing that I

76
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 4: could see that could be going bad.

77
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: Isn't this isn't this? Is this an all wheel drive.

78
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 4: In it's no, sir, front wheel drive?

79
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: Oh, front wheel drive? Okay, okay, yeah, because if this

80
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: was all we'll drive, I would think more in terms

81
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: of do we have a bed center support bearing? So okay, well,

82
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. Do you have the option

83
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: of putting this up in the air and letting letting? Well,

84
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: you can't, right, you can't spend Now did you change

85
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: the rear bearings?

86
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 4: No?

87
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: You did not? Or you did?

88
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: Yes? I did. I changed all four bearings. The noises

89
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 4: from the front, we're feeling it in the floor in

90
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 4: the front under our feet.

91
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: Okay, if you if you drive this on the lift,

92
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: do you still hear the noise? I?

93
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 4: Yes, we had it in the air. The noise is

94
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: not coming from the outboard side of the car. It's

95
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 4: coming from the center of the car.

96
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: All right.

97
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 4: Now the transmission, the transmission is basically right in front

98
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 4: of the driver. That's why you have this interm. Get

99
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 4: one foot shaft with a bearing on it, and there's

100
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 4: a support bracket and then it goes to the CV axle.

101
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: If you hold, if you had on the right front

102
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: wheel so it doesn't turn, do you still get the noise?

103
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 4: Right?

104
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: No?

105
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 4: No, because when I had the left wheel up and

106
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 4: the right wheel on the floor, so now the left

107
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 4: wheel is turning free, no noise.

108
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So right then your theory, you know, could

109
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: it be that? Right now? Can you listen? Can you

110
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: let that right front spin get under the car safely,

111
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: jack stand, support something, et cetera, and listen to that

112
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: bearing with a mechanic stethoscope.

113
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: I haven't done that yet. However, going slow, you're under

114
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 4: twenty miles an hour, it doesn't really do very much.

115
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: When you get up around twenty five thirty miles an hour,

116
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 4: then that noise gets bad. It's like the whole cars resonating.

117
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: And then if you go faster than that it actually

118
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: quiets down a bit, but it's still there.

119
00:05:59,680 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: Right.

120
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to you've got to listen to that

121
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: bearing or as much as you know, it sounds like

122
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: it's in the center. Do you have a bad new

123
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: right front wheel bearing? You could?

124
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 4: It's that's that's what I That's what I thought. But

125
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 4: when I when I had the when I had the

126
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 4: right side up, I took the tire off. So now

127
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: I'm just looking at brakes and bearings and listening, and

128
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 4: there was no noise coming from that area.

129
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: How did you listen to it? How did you listen

130
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: to it?

131
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 4: In just with my ear right next to it.

132
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: Nah, got to put a stethoscope on it. Do you

133
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: own a mechanic stuff? Do you own a mechanic stethoscope?

134
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: Uh? No, but I could get on here's the old

135
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 4: trick with a piece of hose.

136
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, twenty bucks AutoZone all right, easy? You know,

137
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: mechanic stethoscopes are cheap. And you look right this way,

138
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: you look professional. It impresses all the girls, you know,

139
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: look at that. He's a doctor.

140
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 4: I married thirty one years.

141
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: My son the doctor. Your wife will go my husband

142
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: the so you know, and it's just it's it's great.

143
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: It's got a little you know, metal tube bone. It

144
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: lets you pinpoint and you know, you can get very

145
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: precise because then the other thing you can just kind

146
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: of work your way out. This is the you know,

147
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: and I realized we're working without a lift, so we're

148
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: trying to accommodate. But the beauty part is with mechanic stethoscope,

149
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: you don't have to be right on top of it.

150
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: The probe is about ten inches twelve inches long, and

151
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: you can be a little bit fur away. But you

152
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: can start at the final drive of the trans and

153
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: work your way over that right side. Listen to the bearing,

154
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: listen to the final drive, listen to that center support. Uh,

155
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, make a determination from there, and you know

156
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: it's it's it's really the best way to go. And listen.

157
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: You're a car guy. This is the second or third

158
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: time you and I have talked. You're gonna be working

159
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: on cars a long time because either you haven't found

160
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: the mechanic, don't trust the mechanic, or you just enjoy

161
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: working on cars. So to add one more tool to

162
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: the toolbox, why not, you.

163
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 4: Know, yeah, I d don't. I have no problem in

164
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: either there's the wife. We have no problem buying tools.

165
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: Tools are always used, yep. But it's just hard, hard

166
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: to pin this noise down when you you know, you

167
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 4: really can't see a failure. I crawled underneath it today

168
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 4: this morning, and there's like there's no play in the axle.

169
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: The axle boots are good on both sides. That center bearing,

170
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 4: it's a support bearing and it's not very big, so

171
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 4: it almost when when you're running down the road slowly,

172
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: it almost feels it's almost got the same feeling as

173
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 4: if you were peddling a bike and you can feel

174
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: the individual chain and spra get engaging, you know what

175
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 4: I mean, it's there.

176
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: It's it feels chunky, so to.

177
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: Speak, exactly exactly exactly.

178
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: You know.

179
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: The other thing if you want to buy something, and

180
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they're very expensive nowadays. I think there

181
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: are one hundred, one hundred and fifty bucks. Is something

182
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: called a thermal imager. It's kind of like it's it's

183
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: a temp gun and you can you can fix things automotive.

184
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: I listen, I fixed my dryer at home with it

185
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: because I found the leaking door gasket and it's just

186
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: it'll take a thermal image and show you different temperatures.

187
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: It would be interesting to see how much that center

188
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: support bearing heats up as you're as you're running the car,

189
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: and does it get true, does it get too hot?

190
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: And sometimes that, you know, I find temperature shows me

191
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: the problem before the problem actually surfaces. You know, we

192
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: can actually have certain engines when we can get clear

193
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: cut pictures of exhaust manifolds, we'll see a different difference

194
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: in temperature of the exhaust runner for that manifold, and

195
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: we'll know that cylinder's misfiring before the computer tells us,

196
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: because that sounds watching that cylinder runs.

197
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 4: I was watching one of the Saturday morning shows, maybe

198
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 4: it was Phantom Works from a number of years ago,

199
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 4: and they were diagnosing a modern engine, and that's what

200
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 4: he brought out. He brought out an I R gun,

201
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 4: a heat gun, and they were they were finding that

202
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 4: They found that there were two cylinders that were completely

203
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 4: dead because the header was cold on that's the idea too.

204
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 4: We'll see if I can pick one up on Amazon.

205
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 4: Not too expensive, Yeah, they're not.

206
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: They've come way down in price. You know. We've got

207
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: some fancy Schmancy five six hundred dollars thing from snap

208
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: on it. I've got two. I've got three in the shop.

209
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: I still like the simple one. The snap on one

210
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: was kind of you know, after a while you start

211
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: buying toys. You know it'll it'll do everything but actually

212
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: help you fix the car. But it looks cool. Uh,

213
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: but you know, a thermal gun may help you in

214
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: this situation too, So all right, kiddo.

215
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: Okay, very good, very good. I'll get I'll get a

216
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 4: hold of one of those mechanic steps of sculpts and

217
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 4: then we'll give it another try.

218
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: All right, you need me, I'm here, Ian be well,

219
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, You're very welcome. You're very welcome. Bye bye.

220

Speaker 1: Eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero.

221
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't get the phone number out enough, but I'm

222
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: always busy. Eight five to five five six zero nine

223
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: nine zero zero. The car Doctor's twenty four seven phone number.

224
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: And by the way, we're up on Instagram at at

225
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: ron and Enian is my official Instagram title. And no,

226
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: we didn't do the camera yet, so I we're working

227
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: on it. There's some technical difficulties. Actually, Tom won't give

228
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: me access to the studio. He's got me locked up

229
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: because he's afraid of my picture being everywhere. I know

230
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: what the problem is. We couldn't get the bag for

231
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: your head. Well, that's exactly right. We'll be back after this.

232
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: Don't go away where vehicle not taking you where you

233

236
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: now back to Ron. Hey, let's wander over and talk

237
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: to Fred and Virginia. Fred, welcome to the car doctor, Sir,

238
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: how can I help?

239
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

240
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 6: Hi, Ron, thanks for taking my call. We talked a

241
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 6: long time ago. Last year you were giving away tickets

242
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 6: to Pocono. Sure, I was dating about go and we

243
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 6: chatted for a little bit. Out at any rate, here's

244
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 6: my problem. A friend of mine I know real well,

245
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 6: he's got a twenty ten Ford expedition with the big

246
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 6: V eight motor and coming home the other night just

247
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 6: slowly stop going and lost everything, lost power, motor won't

248
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 6: turn over. So he figured it's probably a oil pump

249
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 6: that killed oil pressure and ruin the bearing. So he's

250
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 6: got the oil panned down. Took quite a bit. But

251
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 6: when you go to take off the bearing, caps. There's

252
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 6: two bolts. I think they're thirteen milimeters.

253
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: Well, but then hang on a second freight way. So

254
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: when you say it won't turn over, when when he

255
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: turns the key, what happens?

256
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 6: Clank? You here, you're here the starter engage and you

257
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 6: hear clank. Then he had a denny had a half

258
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 6: inch the longest sock drive. He could get on the

259
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 6: front pulley yanking on it and it wouldn't turn over.

260
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So so we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna agree

261
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: that this is probably a seized engine. Is where is

262
00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: where we're gonna go here?

263
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 6: Okay, that we're going And we did. We did see

264
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 6: some pieces of crinkled up brass down in the oil pan. Okay,

265
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 6: you got that?

266
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: Okay, how many mileage? How many high mileage on this thread?

267
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: Out of curiosity?

268
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 6: I think it's like one fifty seven something like that.

269
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 6: All right, But here's the thing. You take down the

270
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 6: two bolts. He started with the rear main, but right

271
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 6: alongside of them, on the outer edge, there's some kind

272
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 6: of oblong pieces that they're not bolt heads, but they

273
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 6: have to come out or down in order to get

274
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 6: the cap down and we have no idea if it's

275
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 6: a special tool. If they if they're pressed.

276
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: In, why are we trying to take this apart? He's

277
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: not expecting to rebuild it, is he?

278
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, he thought he could. He thought he could

279
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 6: put in new bearings if it's not spoiled too badly.

280
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: Well, let's think of it like this at well, regardless

281
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: of mileage, there's metal everywhere in that engine, everywhere, all right,

282
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: So let's see, let's say he went through. Let me

283
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: talk you out of this and save save, save you

284
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: guys a Saturday and Sunday and a couple of weekends

285
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: on your back in the garage, all right. If let's

286
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: let's assume it wiped out bearings and wiped out the crank, right,

287
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: because because you said it to me, you said, you

288
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: guys think it's oil starvation. Right, So you know, somebody

289
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: came along and stopped your heart, no blood flow. What's

290
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: affected everything. Somebody came along and stopped your oil pump.

291
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: What's affected everything? So what's worn everything? Main bearings are scored,

292
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: cylinder walls are scored, valve trained, cam lobe lifters, et cetera.

293
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: Why are we worried about main bearings? Aren't. We shouldn't

294
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: be thinking about an engine.

295
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I hear what you're saying. But this was the thing.

296
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 6: It was running fine and.

297
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: Then till it wasn't. It was running fine till it wasn't,

298
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: and now it's not.

299
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 4: Well.

300
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, but what I'm saying is he was coming home,

301
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 6: he was doing about forty five miles an hour. Everything

302
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 6: was fine, and then it just slowed down. Motor turned off.

303
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 6: I don't know how that long it ran without oil,

304
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 6: you know, I don't think it. I don't think it ran.

305
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 6: You know, usually you start to hear banging and booming

306
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 6: if bearings start to go or something. Okay, and he

307
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 6: didn't hear any of that.

308
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: So it ran long enough to the point where the

309
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: engine locked up and stopped turning. Right, Yeah, okay, So

310
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: if it ran long enough to the point where the

311
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: engine stopped turning, what do you think What kind of

312
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: damage do you think it did?

313
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 6: Well, obviously, I'm thinking that it probably scored a bearing

314
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 6: enough that has seized it up.

315
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: But only a bearing, well, I don't.

316
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 6: Know we'd have He wanted to try and figure out,

317
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 6: you know, what it looked like. But I hear what

318
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 6: you're saying, and I can. It's not my car. If

319
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 6: it were my car, i'd probably do something different. But

320
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 6: my reason for calling mainly was just to find out

321
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 6: what are those two.

322
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: I'd have to wait, I'd have to see a picture

323
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: because I can't picture it in my head.

324
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 6: Oh all right, okay, because it's weird. It's weird whatever

325
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 6: it is that they're right alongside. They go right out

326
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 6: to the outer end of the bearing cap and you

327
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 6: can look up in there in the casting of the

328
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 6: block and you can see a groove. Right, you can

329
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 6: see that whatever it is, it doesn't look like it's threaded.

330
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 6: It almost looks like it's tapered or something.

331
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: He is he ready to put a crank shift in

332
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: this thread?

333
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 6: Well he could be, yeah, if he if he can

334
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 6: get one at the right place right, and is.

335
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: He ready to do the rest of it?

336
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 6: Yeah? I mean he's worked on cars all his life.

337
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: I mean no, no, yeah, listen, no, no, not a

338
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: disparaging word. I'm not saying he can't work on cars.

339
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: I just you know, if we were at the shop,

340
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: I would pay to watch this because it's going to

341
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: be great entertainment. I've never I've never seen or heard

342
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: anything good come out of my engine stopped from lack

343
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: of oil pressure. And all I wanted to do is

344
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: change the main bearings, because it becomes mains rods, crank, cam, lifters,

345
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: valve train, one hundred and eighty five thousand miles. I

346
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: get it. I you know what, I'm not trying to

347
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: be a jerk. I'm just I just I'm floored. But

348
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: I guess this still goes on. I you know, I

349
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: think his I think his efforts, frankly, would be better

350
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: spent trying to find a replacement engine and doing that

351
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: than the time he's spending just trying to patch it together.

352
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: Somehow this never works. So but all right, carry on, Fred,

353
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: good luck. I wish you guys all the best. Let

354
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: me know how it turns out. But I'll be kind

355
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: of surprised, and I hope I'm wrong, but just be

356
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: aware oil pressure. Loss of oil pressure affects everything. I'm

357
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: running any in the car, doctor, I'll be back right

358
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: after this run back running in the car, doctor. I

359
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: wonder if Fred was talking about crossbolts on that five

360
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: point four Leader Expedition motor. There are crossbolts that come

361
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: in through the signs. I wonder if he was seeing that.

362
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: But still, I just I can't see taking a part

363
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: in any with that many miles on it that suffered

364
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: an oil pressure problem. I'd actually be taking apart the

365
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: top of the motor if find do I find metal

366
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: up in the valve cover area. If I find metal

367
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: up in the valve cover area, then I know it traveled.

368
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: Getting metal in the oil pan is easy. Is there

369
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: metal in the top of it? Up around the valve cover? Fred,

370
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: if you're still listening, everybody pull a valve cover if

371
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: there's oil. If there's metal up top, that means metal

372
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: went everywhere, which I kind of suspect it did. And

373
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: I think he's on a I think he's on a

374
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: folly that's going to end in frustration. So but you

375
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: could try that. You know, is there metal up top?

376
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: But I know where it's going to end. Yeah, good luck,

377
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: Billy and Denver. Next up, five SUPERU Legacy Billy, Welcome

378
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: to the car doctor. How can it helps her?

379
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 4: Hi? Ron?

380
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 5: Yes, I had an five Legacy GT with a one

381
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 5: seventy four on the clock. Okay, last year I lost

382
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 5: radio reception and keyless entry at the same time, so

383
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 5: I assume they're related. I replaced the power supply wire

384
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 5: to the radio, amplify the antenna apple fire and that

385
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 5: fixed the radio, but didn't help the keyless entry. Okay,

386
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 5: so I went to the basics, replace the batteries and

387
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 5: the fobs. Replace the fobs. I've got a couple of

388
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 5: low end your Make model scanners that will pull B

389
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 5: codes and U codes, and they didn't pull anything of notes,

390
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 5: So then I started throwing parts. I tried a keyless

391
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 5: entry module after verifying a power ground to that, and

392
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 5: that didn't make any difference. At this point, I'm kind

393
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 5: of at a loss as to what to do other

394
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 5: than to condemn the body module when I tryd programs

395
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 5: into it.

396
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: If sorry, go ahead, Yeah, I was gonna say no,

397
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: I listen. I love your approach. I think you're I

398
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: think you're spot on. It's it's kind of the way

399
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: I would have done it. One of my questions would

400
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: have been, you know, will your scan tools you know,

401
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: can you go into different modules? Is it all BED

402
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: do you have ob D two stuff or is it

403
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: your Make model.

404
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 5: All the above. I can use my scanning tool to

405
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 5: act rate the door locks, it'll actuate the keyless beep.

406
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 5: So it seems to talk to everything related but get anywhere.

407
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: So the so the keyless entry module is awake.

408
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 5: I'm not sure about that. I don't know whether that

409
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 5: keyless entry beep is coming out of the keyless entry

410
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 5: module or out of the body module.

411
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: Okay, what if we disconnect the keyless entry module and

412
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: try and make it beep?

413
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 5: I think I might have tried that. I don't remember

414
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 5: what the results were ago.

415
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: Now you know, is it?

416
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: Yeah?

417
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: No, I get it? Is it? You know? I'm just

418
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: wondering if it lost programming? Does something need to be

419
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: programmed here?

420
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 4: Uh?

421
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: You know the fact that you have to you have

422
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: two remotes tells me, you know, the odds of both

423
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: remotes being bad all of a sudden ever since the

424
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: radio repair that doesn't I don't buy that. And this

425
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: is all I agree factory stuff. Right, there's no aftermark

426
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: at anything here.

427
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: Right.

428
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 5: I did try aftermarket Bob's. It didn't make any difference.

429
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Uh you can uh you know, if you

430
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: have a mechanic that you use and he has a

431
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: tire pressure monitoring tool. Most of the TPM TPMs tools

432
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: in the aftermarket have the ability to read key fobs,

433
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: so you can you know, because all it is, well

434
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: it is a transmitter and it'll just you walk up

435
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: to him a boop, but it'll show you the you know,

436
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: at least if you want to erase that one hundred

437
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: percent because what are the op But I mean, what

438
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: are the odds you've got too bad fobs? It doesn't

439
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: lucky you.

440
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna I'll get a TTMS answer done

441
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 5: next week, so I'll have him check the possib.

442
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: All right, you know they should be able to do that.

443
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: But I wonder if you know, and before you condemn

444
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: the body module, uh, you know, or anything, if we

445
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: unplug the keyless entry module, I just want to see

446
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: the keyless entry modules online, you know, is the keyless

447
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: entry online? And then and then okay, how does it?

448
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: How does its antenna work? So how is it? How

449
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,719
Speaker 1: does it communicate with the key fobs? And I believe

450
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: that integration is done through the body module. But what's

451
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: kind of got me, you know, curious, is why radio

452
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: and key fob together. Because I believe in looking at wiring,

453
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to find the tour related

454
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: except for the fact that the radio I believe reports

455
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: the body and the keyless entry reports the body. Maybe

456
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: that's the clue.

457
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, circuit diagrams for the less entry system don't show

458
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 5: anything about an antenna. That don't show wiring into the

459
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 5: main antenna or anything else, So.

460
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: Then that's got to be So then that has to

461
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: be through the keyless entry module itself. That has to

462
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: be where the antenna is located or its reception device. Right,

463
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. So let's do this.

464
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 5: But it's inside the dashboard, so it's basically inside the car,

465
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 5: which is a fairy cage. So right, and I didn't

466
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 5: seem like a receptive.

467
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: Let's do Let's verify the fobs are both good. Okay,

468
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: process of elimination. Verify the fobs are both good. If

469
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: you disconnect the keyless entry module, does the beep go away?

470
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: Does it still lock the doors because you said you

471
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: could lock the doors by scan tool? Yes, okay, So

472
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: if we take the keyless entry module out of the

473
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: equation and we can still lock the doors and still

474
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: get the fob to work, or still get the beep

475
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: to work, then I've got to believe the body module

476
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: is good, and I would focus more on the keyless

477
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: entry module. But you said you change that correct, I did, well,

478
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: But does that have to be programmed?

479
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 5: That's where I'm not clear.

480
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: I would I would think I would think it would

481
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: have to learn the system because otherwise, you know what,

482
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: every fob has to be unique, right, You just can't

483
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: walk up and I'll take this one and open the door.

484
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: Right.

485
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's got to be unique to your vehicle.

486
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: So somehow they're learning that there's got to be a learned.

487
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 7: Procedure, registration procedure that you do using the UH the

488
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 7: door lock switch, and it responds and acknowledges the beefs

489
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 7: and all that sounds normal.

490
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 5: It's it's acting like it's taking them. But I still

491
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 5: don't know if those ideas are stored in the body

492
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 5: module or in the keyless module.

493
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: So is there a reason? See? And why did why

494
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: did replacing the wire for the radio? Why did the

495
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: radio wire go bad?

496
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 5: Uh?

497
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 7: It goes through the lift gate patch boot.

498
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it broke and there's nothing else, but there's.

499
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 5: Two you got, Yeah, you got the UH the antenna.

500
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 5: The antenna amplifier is in the lift gate. So it's

501
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 5: got UH signal wire and power wire going through the

502
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 5: boot okay, Yeah, the signal wire doesn't generally go bad.

503
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 5: It's a it's a flexible coax. It's the power wire.

504
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 4: That goes bad.

505
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 5: And I replaced that and that fixed the radio.

506
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I'd be curious. I don't buy the antenna wire

507
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 1: breaking either. I've never seen it. I've never seen it.

508
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: Let's process of elimination, Billy, and you call me back

509
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: and I'll have more intro for you. Let me do

510
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: a little research. Send me the VIN on this vehicle,

511
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: all right, Ron at cardoctorshow dot com. Give me the

512
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: seventeen digit VIN and let me run down some wiring

513
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: and look at some wiring during the week and then

514
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: we can talk next weekend or you know, whenever you

515
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: get a chance to go through and do the things

516
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: that good things we're doing. So yeah, all right, kiddo,

517
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out. No worries. Always like a challenge,

518
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Always like a challenge, always like something good.

519
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: If not, I think I know this communications guy, he

520
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: works with me. He'll explain it to me. So I

521
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: don't want to talk to him. A five five, five

522

Speaker 1: thing and Ronananie and the Card Doctor obviously on Facebook.

532
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: Let's get over to Fred and Virginia eleven Toyota Camri

533
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: with a noise at Idol. Fred. Welcome to the Car Doctor, sir,

534
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: How can I help?

535
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 2: Thanks for taking the call Ron your show.

536
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: Thank you, sirmuch on.

537
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 2: Twenty eleven Camri, two point five one hundred and fifty

538
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 2: two thousand miles. When it's hot hiding in gear and

539
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: you engage compressor, it just makes this horrible rattling noise,

540
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: went on to describe it, and you could kick it

541
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 2: out of gear. It's it goes okay. Everything else is fine.

542
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: Air conditioning works good, you know, I know they used to.

543
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: There was a provision from when you turn the air

544
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: condition on, it would kick the RPMs up a couple

545
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 2: hundred or so, but I never see a tack move

546
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: when I turned the air conditioner on. So I had

547
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 2: a shop look at it, and they really couldn't figure

548
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 2: it out. But they service to air condition and the

549
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: place to refrigerate. And what do you think?

550
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: So well, I think i'd be curious why the ac

551
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: idol up doesn't work? All right? You know, does does it?

552
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: Or does it? You just can't tell? Well, it should

553
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: bump up something. It's got to compensate something for the load.

554
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: You know.

555
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: The rule of thumbos used to be six by two.

556
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: You'd see its six hundred. You'd see it go up

557
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: two hundred with the AC on and gear, you know,

558
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: just something to compensate for the loads. So i'd want

559
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: to measure that. I'd want to look at that by

560
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: scan tool, all right, if I turned if I turned

561
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: the AC on, Let's be scientific about it. Science never

562
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: hurts and math never was. So you know, do we

563
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: see the AC go up? If not, let's let's just

564
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, think about that. Do we have a problem

565
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: with something as simple and basic as a dirty throttle plate?

566
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: Has the throttle plate ever been cleaned? You know, has

567
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: anybody ever done a throttle body service, you know, and

568
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to start, you know, throwing things out

569
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,479
Speaker 1: and talking about maintenance, Fred. But you know, maintenance as

570
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: as they age, like human beings, as we age, things

571
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: come into play. You know, the perils of youth catch

572
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: up to us as we age, and the lack of

573
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: maintenance catch up to the cars as they age. So

574
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: clean throttle body, all right, just go through that, and

575
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: then you know, afterwards, let's relearn the idle speed. Let's

576
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: disconnect both battery cables if we can tie them together

577
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: with a jumper wire and bleed the pcum down for

578
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: five or ten minutes and then hook it back up.

579
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: It will stall on first startup. That's normal, that's what

580
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: toyotas do. And then it'll learn, and you know, just

581
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: kind of sit there, let it idle, put it in gear,

582
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: turn the AC on, let it, you know, let it learn.

583
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: It'll take about fifteen twenty minutes. Let it figure out

584
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: who it is and where it is. It lost its identity.

585
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: When that when that's correct, and then you see a

586
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: little bit of an idol surge, you know, fifty seventy

587
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: five one hundred. I don't think it'll be two hundred

588
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: on this car, but it might but six by two

589
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: is always my rule of thumbs as a as something

590
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: to look for. Then if we still have the noise

591
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: and we seem like we're idling at the correct rpm,

592
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: then what if we you know, what does the belt

593
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: tensioner look like? Is it rattling and banging around?

594
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: You have the tentioners and the and the idlers are.

595
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: Good, well good? How how do you know they're good?

596
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: Well, they were replaced with a belt change about thirty

597
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 2: thousand miles ago.

598
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: Okay, so thirty thousand miles ago was thirty thousand miles ago.

599
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: You know, let's never assume we both know what a

600
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: dangerous word that is, right, And it would literally take

601
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: a mechanic all of about three and a half minutes

602
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: to find the wrench that fits the end of the

603
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: bolt on the idler pulley or the tension or pulley.

604
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: And what if we just applied a little bit of

605
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: tension to it? You know, what if what if we

606
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: kind of what if we kind of help the tensioner,

607
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: because when you find out they changed the pulley and

608
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: not the physical tensioner or the bracket and not the

609
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: physical tension or won't we feel silly? Right? You know,

610
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: tensioners wear out, So if we just give it a

611
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: little bit of tweak, all right, let's let's do that,

612
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, why not? Uh? Then the then the next

613
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: thing I want to try is, if we're in gear,

614
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: what if I power break it? What if I bump

615
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: the idol speed up just to touch with my foot

616
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: one foot on the brake, one foot on the gas

617
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: and just kind of sneak it up just a hair, right,

618
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: if the problem goes away, do I possibly have an

619
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: engine mount issue? Mounts dried out hard rubber, right, you know? So,

620
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: so a couple of things to think about. Is this

621
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: a noise or a sensation or a combination of both.

622
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 2: It's definitely loud. So yeah, that's good point. Right, Well,

623
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 2: you give me some things to check.

624
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the game. That's how we do this. So

625
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: but that's that's what we'd be looking for if we

626
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: were talking about it at the shop.

627
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,600

00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: see people going, do you remember that car? Probably not

654
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: in a good way, but that's kind of funny stuff.

655
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: Thoughts about dad. You know, it's Father's Day. It's no

656
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 1: secret you guys know this. You know, my dad's been

657
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: down a long time. I was twelve. I was eleven

658
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: going on twelve when my dad passed. And I've got

659
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: to say my dad was probably the biggest influence in

660
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: me becoming a mechanic out of anything else in my life.

661
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 1: He was lead mechanic for American Airlines during the Second

662
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: World War. He worked on Roosevelt's DC three. He was

663
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: superintendent of maintenance for American Airlines. You know, I still

664
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: have a toolbox in the basement at the house with

665
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: these gigundis wrenches, you know, and every once in a

666
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: while I kind of go down there and look at

667
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: him and go, you know, did this touch the President's plane?

668
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: Did that touched the President's plane? You know, you have

669
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: these crazy thoughts, but I think one of the most

670
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: important things my dad ever taught me, and I can

671
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: still you know, you still think about that, right it's

672
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: Father's Day. You think about what did they leave you,

673
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: what do they do for you? I was fortunate because

674
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: I had a good one while I had them. He said,

675
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: you're always going to find yourself in a spot, sooner

676
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: or later. Life just sort of sneaks up by me.

677
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: And he said, when you're in that spot, you have

678
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: to think your way through and keep a level head,

679
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: and that's how you get out of it until you

680
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: find the next one. So you know what, I've always

681
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: tried to do that, And I'm grateful to him to

682
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: have said that, and I'm grateful to be here for

683
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: you guys till the next time I'm running aiding the

684
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,400
