1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: For most people, they don't want to hear it. They

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: don't want to hear it. They don't want to pay

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: seventy five for tires, so they hear they're only then

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: you gotta buy all them extras, like do you want

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: them on the car? Roan breaks kind of concerned me. Listen,

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: unless you're gonna lay in a large supply of shoes

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: or drag your feet, you know, there's not much else

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: that's gonna really stop the vehicle until you hit whatever

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: it is your aimed at. And dodge is the perfect

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: word to put on the front of a van coming

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: at you days the car Doctor. I understand that it's

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: not cheap to repair a car, but I also understand

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: the potential of the fatality, and it's it's breaks. It's

14
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: not like we're talking about air conditioning that could fail.

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: We're talking about breaks. Welcome to the radio home of

00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: do a quick opening some quick opening thoughts about fixing cars.

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: I've decided that to properly diagnosed cars, you've got to

34
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: be out of your mind, you really do. Because well,

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: let me tell you the story like this, So seven

36
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: Ford Ranger. Does this sound familiar? Listeners right? For a ranger?

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: Now he's got about two hundred and eleven thousand miles

38
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: on it, two or twelve something like that. You know

39
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: whose truck this? This is my truck. This is our

40
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: little shop truck. I mean you I've been talking about this.

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: Let's see, we're on radio twenty six or seven years.

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: I've had the truck since two thousand four, So I've

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: had this truck, you know, two thirds of the life.

44
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: I'm on radio. I've been talking about this truck. It

45
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: developed a problem about a month ago where it was

46
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: a long crank time da da da da da da

47
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: da da da da da da da, And it wouldn't fire,

48
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: and it was it would it would start okay cold,

49
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: but when it got hot, it was really just really

50
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: hard to get it to start. You would kind of

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: bringing a prayer and you know, poking a hope and

52
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 1: and rub your belly and and and turn over three

53
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: times and you just hope it would catch. Well, it

54
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: can't be the fuel pump, I said, because I was

55
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: thinking about it in my mind. See there's that word

56
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: in my mind. I said, well, the fuel pumps. No,

57
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: I put a fuel pump in it when I got it,

58
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: because I got it in two thousand four. It had

59
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: a blown rear and the customer didn't want to fix it.

60
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: And if you remember the story from way back when,

61
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: and maybe I should make that a contest, see if

62
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: anybody remembers the story. See how good? Hey, everybody's memories

63
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: and see who's the longest car doctor listener but we

64
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: we we picked it up two thousand four because the

65
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: customer blew the rear and they didn't want to fix

66
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: the rear, and I said, go home, go talk to her,

67
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: your aunt's, uncle's brothers, mothers, sister's cousin kids, and tell

68
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: everybody that I'll give you three hundred dollars for the truck.

69
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: It's got a hundred and sixty tho miles on it,

70
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: and I'll fix the rear and I'll drive it and

71
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: do what I want with it. And I always do

72
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: that because I don't anybody coming back and saying, well,

73
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: you stole it from you. Nope, we're all big boys

74
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: and girls. We all make adult decisions. You know. This

75
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: is what it's worth to me if you can get

76
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: more for it, you know. See, you came back and

77
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: not to make this a story about how I bought

78
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: the truck, but he said, yeah, you're right, it's worth

79
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: three under bucks. Was three hundred bucks and I've had

80
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: since two thousand four, to which I ended it up

81
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: the other day. I put about eleven thousand dollars in

82
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: it in the past fourteen years, just in parts. And

83
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: that's you know, but that's what it takes. I mean, chief,

84
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: I went out and bought a new truck, what would

85
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: it have cost? So you know, everything's relative and everybody's

86
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: got to get paid, right, Everything has value, Everything costs something.

87
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: It's so back to being out of my mind. I said, well,

88
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: this truck can't be a fuel pump. It sure acts

89
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: like a fuel pump, but it can't be a fuel

90
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: pump because the fuel pumps. No, I only put one

91
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: in when I got it. And how long ago was that?

92
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, now I'm adding it up. This is eighteen.

93
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: It's two thousand for me. Yeah, so the fuel pumps

94
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: fourteen years old. But I've only gone fifty or sixty

95
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: thousand miles. Well, let's see I did. So I've got

96
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: about fifty thousand miles on this fuel pump, gee motocraft

97
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: fuel pump right from four. That can't be a fifty

98
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 1: thousand mile pump. That there's no way it's the pump.

99
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: Let's go look at everything else. And that's just exactly

100
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: what I did, all right. I looked at everything cool intemp.

101
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: When I started at air fuel tempt sensor mass airflow volume.

102
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: I tested everything I could think of, and I guess

103
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: what it was? Still broken. I couldn't find anything wrong,

104
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: and that's when it hurt me. I said, you know,

105
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: I must be out of my mind, or maybe I

106
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: should be out of my mind because I was out

107
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: of my mind and not trying to think about well,

108
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: can't be. I have to practice what I preach, and

109
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: you know, tell you what's good, find out what's good,

110
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: fixed bad. I mean, that's the rule, right, We've always

111
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: said that, said that for the longest time. So I said, man,

112
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: but it still can't be a fuel pump. My gosh,

113
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean a fuel pump only less than miles. That's

114
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: just you know. Though I was starting a weekend. It

115
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: was a Monday, and I said, maybe I should screw

116
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: a fuel pressure gauge on it. All right, I'll get

117
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: to it by Tuesday. Well, Wednesday came around and I

118
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: kind of parked it over there at the end of

119
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: third band. I put the fuel pressure gauge on it

120
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: and started up and I had thirty three pounds, Well,

121
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: speck is forty two. Well that's not good. And then

122
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: I shut it off and it should hold residual pressure

123
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: for twenty minutes to a half hour. Fuel pressure dropped

124
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: like a stone. Guess what needs a fuel pump. The

125
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: fuel pump is bad. And that's when I realized that

126
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: if I had been more logical about it and less

127
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: in my mind, you've got to be out of your

128
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: mind to fix cars. And I say that in more

129
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: ways than one, because it just would have been so

130
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: much easier put a new fuel pump. And by the way,

131
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: we found that, we found the method for putting a

132
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: fuel pump in a little forward ranger. So when you

133
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: don't want to take down the tank because it's you know,

134
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: it's just a big pain in the neck, you gotta

135
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: drop the tank. We took the bed off. Yeah, there's

136
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: six bolts Torqu's head, uh t thirties I think they were.

137
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: And we took the engine hoist in the shop, which

138
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: we don't use any worre because we don't do engines

139
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: anymore because one engines go bad, ha ha. And we

140
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: had the bed off in twenty minutes and swapped out

141
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: the fuel pump the whole truck. Took us an hour

142
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: to do the whole job, and the bangs doom. It

143
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: fired right up forty two pounds help residual pressure. Look

144
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: at its fixed. Hey, I fixed something. I went home

145
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: feeling good that I decided, you know what, you really

146
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: gotta be out of your mind to fix cars. Eight

147
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: five five zero nine nine zero zero. I'm running eating

148

Speaker 1: the car Doctor. Let's kick the garage doors open real quick, Anthony.

149
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: Can we do that? And then let's go and talk

150
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: to Beverly and Harrisonburg, Virginia. Beverly, Welcome to the Car Doctor.

151
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: How can I help? Thank you? Well, I'm interested in

152
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: buying a used car. I'm interested in the Nissan Ultimates.

153
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: But the one that I um. I was looking at

154
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: isleven and it has a hundred and seven thousand miles

155
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: on it, and when I did a Google search on it,

156
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: it see it appears that eleven have major transmission problems.

157
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: So I didn't want I didn't want to purchase it

158
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: if I have to turn around with another three or

159
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: four thousand dollars into it another twenty thousand miles down

160
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: the road. So I was wondering what you knew about that? Well,

161
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: the good news is yeah, it's and the good news

162
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: is it's not three four thousand dollars. It's it's probably

163
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: five six thousand dollars. So just just yeah, it's not cheap.

164
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: It's a c VT out of Nissan. It's gonna be

165
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: a Nissan Reman and they do warrantee them up to

166
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: one twenty. So there is a there is a campaign,

167
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: and there is a recall going on. Uh, you know,

168
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: it's easy enough to find. I would take the vin

169
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: and run it through the local Nissan dealer and say,

170
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, is the recall and the issues with the

171
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: CVT transmission applicable to this car? And you may find

172
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: that the chance has already been done. Now the bad

173
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: news is my understanding. Once it's been done, now you're

174
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: on your own nickel. So you know it's they won't

175
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: they won't redo it twice. So what it really kind

176
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: of comes back to, is you ever buy a pig

177
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: in a poke because you're about to you know, it's

178
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: it's unless unless you're emotionally attached to this car, uh,

179
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, unless you had one in college, unless you

180
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: met your you know, unless you met the love of

181
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: your life in the first one way back when you know,

182
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: it's there's there's so many other cars to choose and

183
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: pick from. Why why buy a problem cars? Are cars

184
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: are tough enough Beverley? You know to buy the ones?

185
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: You know, I read an article. Um, well, is my

186
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: friend Tim, who is the shop foreman for the local

187
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: Niecean dealership, says he's not quite sure why anybody buys

188
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: a Nissan. Um, you know, you know it's it's he says.

189
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: He said, you know, he said, the good news is

190
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,359
Speaker 1: with a Nissan. I'm quoting Tim. We talk every day

191
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: and he said the good news is with a Nissan

192
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: is not a lot goes wrong with him. He says.

193
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: The bad news is when something does goes wrong, it's

194
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: either the engine or the trance. It's pretty easy to diagnose.

195
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: So it's either something minor or major. There's no in between. Um,

196
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's is it a Nissan connection in the family.

197
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: You're just happen to find a Nissan dealer. That's something.

198
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: The cell car is cheap. It just happen to like

199
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: the car. Yeah, I just like the way the car

200
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: looks and drives, and you know it's just just like

201
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: I just like the features of it. But you'll steer

202
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: away from it if it's if it's a problem, well

203
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: let me let me ask you this. Or you're gonna

204
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: buy it from a dealer? Do you do? Do you

205
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: you know? Because here's the deal if if if if

206
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: you were five minutes away and you were here in

207
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: New Jersey, I tell you I go buy a Nissan

208
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: because I have I have the utmost confidence in the

209
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: dealership where Tim works. Example, if something was under recall

210
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: that I know it would get done and it would

211
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: get done properly. All right, Um, The problem is a

212
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: the car is gonna break be The second problem is

213
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: who's gonna fix it? And how well are and how

214
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: good are they at it? And and and then that

215
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: and that's always the concern. So you know, it's you

216
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: want to look at something in that science, Go look

217
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: at a Ford Focus. Go look at a Ford Fusion.

218
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: If you want something a little bigger, go look at

219
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: some of the Toyotas. All right, um, go look at

220
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: some of the Honda's. You know, see where the price Yeah,

221
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: see where the price point is. The thing I don't

222
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: like about Honda's. The thing I like about Honda's is

223
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: they're reliable. The thing I don't like about Honda's is

224
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: they're reliable and they know it and they have an

225
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: attitude and you know it's it's it's tough getting anybody

226
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: at a Honda dealership to talk to you like a

227
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: human being. I find that's my experience. It's just just

228
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: what I said. Um, suber Brus are nice cars. They

229
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: get a little price you to maintain. Um, you know,

230
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: but there they listen. I'm I'm I'm waiting for the

231
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're picking them all, Beverly. I've got

232
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: a I've got a customer with a twenty let me

233
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: think what years his car. It's a Subaru Legacy with

234
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand miles on it that has a torque

235
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: converter problem. That we're waiting for the transmission to come in.

236
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: The trans is and it's about thirty to forty five

237
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: days to get the trans It'll be about eight grand

238
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: by the time we put a trans in the car.

239
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, Um and Super was another funny company, all right.

240
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: Their their attitude about fluid services never changed the fluid

241
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: like Nissans. Nissan's attitude is never changed the fluid. Um.

242
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: But yet they've got problems. Uh you know, yet they've

243
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: got problems. Yeah. I read an article the other day

244
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: this this week, somewhere along the way this week I

245
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: read an article that it really got me thinking, I'm

246
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: gonna see if I can find it. If not, I'll

247
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: comment comment on it later this hour that the car companies.

248
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: It was written by Blue It was in Bloomberg and

249
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: they talked about how car companies are realizing that it

250
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: is so difficult to build a car today that it's

251
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: almost not economical, it's not worth the effort. That the

252
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: day of the disposable car is gonna make life so

253
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: much easier because we'll just build a cheaper car with

254
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: less options. That literally, it's what I've been it's what

255
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about, that we're gonna get to the point,

256
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: maybe someday in the future where the car is gonna break,

257
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna pull the plate off it, You're gonna call

258
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: for an uber. The uber will take you home, and

259
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: the recycling truck is gonna come around, chew it up

260
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: back into plastic scrap and melt another one and put

261
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: it together somewhere else. Um. Just just the way of

262
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: the future, just the way of thinking. So but yes,

263
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: stair away from the Nissan. You know, remember, whatever you buy,

264
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: whatever you buy, it's just important that you've got a

265
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: good certified technician, whether it's a dealer or independent, working

266
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: on it, and you're comfortable with them, and you've got

267
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: that relationship, because the relationship with the mechanic going forward

268
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: is gonna be just as important as the relationship with

269
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: the doctor, the lawyer and everybody and the other professional

270
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: in your life. All right, absolutely, absolutely great, Thank you

271
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: so much. Ron, You're very welcome, Beverly. You have a

272
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: good rest of the day. Zero nine zero zero. Run

273
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: on any of the Car Doctor coming back right after this, Hey,

274
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: welcome back. Aren't any of the Car Doctor. By the way,

275
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: you want to let you know that today's Car Doctor

276
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: radio broadcast is brought to you by the nice folks

277
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: at JENNERAC. And the reason I say that is, and

278
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: that's kind of an odd statement, is because of the

279
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: fact that we're running on generator. So if all of

280
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: a sudden I'm doing the show and I'm plucking and

281
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you hear this, that means the

282
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: generator died. And you can call JENNERAC at their eight

283
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 1: hundred number and say, hey, what happened? I thought you

284
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: guys were the best. Actually I was gonna say I

285
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: thought that man Tony had decided to take a break

286
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: and stop Pedali. Well, I you know, we we we've

287
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: got to get somebody out there. And I actually have

288
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: given Tom and Tony the instructions on how to restart

289
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: the generator. It's off enter enter auto. UM. In that

290
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: sequence you have to hit the buttons. And I'm not kidding,

291
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: We're serious. The northeast really got walloped. You gotta see

292
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: the snow around the studio. We had to, uh, we

293
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: had to go get Tony today. Tony's trained from New

294
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: York out to Jersey today was actually twenty minutes early.

295
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: If you can believe that, that just goes to show

296
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: you how screwed up New Jersey Transit is. They're actually

297
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule. So even when they do something wrong,

298
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: they can't do something right. They can't get it right.

299
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: It's it's just beyond comprehension. But I'm not kidding. We're

300
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: on generator today and so far it's working, which is

301
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: what we kind of plan for. UM. You know, I

302
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: hate it when Tom Ray planned something and it actually

303
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: works like that that you know, he said, if you

304
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: get a generator that does this, and we spec out

305
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: the studio and um. The only fatality we suffered in

306
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: the storm was one of the ups is on the

307
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: streaming machine died and we had to bypass a temporarily

308
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: order a new one. So, by the way, the streaming

309
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: machine will probably be down on Tuesday when we swamp

310
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: out the ups. We have to do that. Um, but

311
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: not killing around. We're on generator so uh and I

312
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: understand the show still sounds good. We're up in the

313
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: year here. Let me test. Let me test the generator. Yep,

314
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: the light works. Okay, we're on. So let's go over

315
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: and talk to Bill and Lisbon Maine. Bill, we'll come

316
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: to the car doctor. How can I help while I can?

317
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: Good sir, how did you make out with the storm?

318
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: You're up there in Maine. You guys, you guys got

319
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: you guys had to get hit too, right, Yeah? Yeah

320
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: we got yeah, yeah we got. Um we literally had

321
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: two ft of snow here at the studio. It you know,

322
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: when you looked at that on the on the news,

323
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: when you looked at that section where it said this

324
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: is gonna be the hardest hit part of New Jersey,

325
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: that was us. Uh yeah, that was us. I mean

326
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: trees down and uh. Driving home, driving home Wednesday night

327
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: with the plow truck, it was like driving through a

328
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: combat zone. I can't tell you how many trees. I

329
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: ran over on the road and I actually had to

330
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: put the PLoud down to move things out of the

331
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: way to clear the road so I could get get

332
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: to where I had to go. Um, yeah, it was

333
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: it was really hairy there for a while. So but um, anyway,

334
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: how can I help you, sir? Yeah, I got a

335
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: two thousand seven and uh, it throws heat really good

336
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: while you're driving down the road right as soon as

337
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: you get to a light, no heat, Okay. Um. I

338
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: want to preface this conversation, that's by saying that I

339
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: always like to measure heat with a thermometer. I don't.

340
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: I don't like to hold my hand up to it

341
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: and go that's hot, that's cool, all right. I'm a

342
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: numbers guy, but I get it. Not everybody's got one,

343
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: but it's you know what, they're ten bucks. Get out

344
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: to an Orallyoto parts and and just grab it an

345
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: indoor temperature thermometer, and it's it's nice to know. I

346
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: like it because in the summer, when I'm using the

347
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: air conditioning, gee, it feels hot in here, like the

348
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: air conditioning is not working. But the duck temperature is

349
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: forty two degrees. You know, that's about as cold as

350
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna get. It's just that hot. It's July and

351
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: August though. Um, just just something where I mean if

352
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: you if you had to stay through a long light

353
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: and it was tend of gleese out, you be cold.

354
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: So you know we've got we've got a couple of

355
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: potential probabilities here. Check engine light on it all No,

356
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: because usually you would say that. Okay, so how long

357
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: has it been doing this? A while? Yeah, it's been well.

358
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: Actually I parked it for the winner. Okay, Um, you

359
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: parked it for the winter, and now you just started

360
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: driving it again. No, I haven't started driving it again.

361
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean I move it every time it snows, and

362
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: it won't if you just let it I don't. It

363
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: won't melt the snow off. You know what I mean? Okay,

364
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: how long are you letting it run for? Oh? Sometimes

365
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes? So you get in it. You get

366
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: in it and step on the gas and rab it

367
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: to like it throws heat like a son of young.

368
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: All right. So the concern here is do we have

369
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: good engine temperature? Um, I'm gonna tell you to go

370
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: through the routine, all right. I'd love to see somebody

371
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: scanning for codes. Do we have a P zero zero

372
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: one low thermostat or low coal intempt codes or insufficient

373
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: warm up? As long as those aren't there, then it

374
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: sounds like we've got something mechanical going on, whether be

375
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: in the heater core and the electronic controls. And I'll

376
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: tell you what, Bill, stay right where you are. Let

377
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: me pull over and take this pause one number right

378
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: it on the wall, so you don't forget to call

379
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: for car advice. Done right? Eight five five five zero

380
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: zero zero. Now back to Rod and here we are.

381
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: By the way, I should apologize for that last break.

382
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: So all the clocks in the studio are off except

383
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: for Tom and Tony, so I have to actually look

384
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: at them to know my timing because you have to

385
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: pay attention to tell your listeners you finally have to

386
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: pay to Tony and I want to see it. I

387
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: want to look at the clock to say that you

388
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: finally have to pay attention to Tony and Tom, and

389
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: I have to pay attention to T and Tan they

390
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: actually mean something for once. It only took seven years.

391
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: But um, here we go. But it's the truth because

392
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: the generator um. Tom explained that the generator changes the

393
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: way the clocks are working because of the way it's

394
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: it's frequency resonates with the cycle of the electricity. U. No,

395
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, no no. The generator itself is supposed

396
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: to be sixty hurts, which is what comes out of

397
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: the power company, and the clock synchronizes to that and

398
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: that's what keeps the time steady on the clocks. But

399
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: the generator is not a what's called a prime source,

400
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: so it wanders just a little bit. And that clock

401
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: does get off every so often, just because it does.

402
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: Because it's off right now, it's um, we're we're we're

403
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: I've six second now, we're we're right, We're right now,

404
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: we're right on because I just reset it. But the

405
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: clock we have is locked to the internet and it's

406
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: pining the the US master clock every ten minutes, So

407
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: we're money. This used to be a lot simpler when

408
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: it didn't matter what we did. Uh, I just know

409
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: not if we weren't a network show would be real

410
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: simple because who cares if our timing is a little

411
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: bit off? Did ever before we go back to Bill

412
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: at Maine, did I ever tell you the truth story?

413
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: Do you know why there's a there's a national Observatory

414
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: of time. I forget the exact terminology, but do you

415
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: know because I have to do with the train schedules. Yeah, yeah,

416
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: because and the true story the ones that New Jersey

417
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: Transit doesn't follow. Well, that's beside the point. But they

418
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: actually the reason they synchronized the clock so many years

419
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: ago was because the number of trains and I guess

420
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 1: this is in the eighteen seventies and the eighteen eighties, um,

421
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: the number of trains that were on the wrong track

422
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: at the wrong time and all the head on collisions

423
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: they had in the middle of the night and under

424
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: poor visibility because you know, three minutes time difference coast

425
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: to coast, all of a sudden, men for trained calamities everywhere.

426
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: So to get everything locked into time, you know, explained

427
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: that to me is the man scientist uh Dr Jeff Um.

428
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: Really it really is interesting that But that's got nothing

429
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,239
Speaker 1: to do with cars. But you know, you look at

430
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: the mechanization of the country and the evolution of how

431
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: things occur, and that's that's a true story that the

432
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: reason they synchronized time was do with the train schedule

433
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,959
Speaker 1: going close to coast. Anyway, Bill from Lisbon, Maine. You're

434
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: still there, sir, I put you to sleep. Yeah, alright.

435
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: So you know you've got low heat low heat output,

436
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: it idle. Let's assume it's mechanical, all right. So you

437
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: know we want to check engine temperature. I don't care

438
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: how you do it. Bring the engine up to temp,

439
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, take it for a rode, come back after

440
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. Feel the upper radiator hose. It should be

441
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: uncomfortable to the touch, all right. If you've got a

442
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: scan tool and you can do it by scan tool,

443
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: we should see a minimum of a hundred and eight,

444
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: probably close to five degrees if the hose is comfortable

445
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: to touch. If by scan tool it's low, it's in

446
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: the one seventies or less. You've probably got a thermostat

447
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: that's either stuck open or it's bypassing allowing cooling to

448
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: leak where its supposed to leak and not do its thing.

449
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: So we got a thermistat issue. If the thermistat's okay,

450
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: then we want to feel the two heater hoses going

451
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: down to the core. All right. We should have both

452
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: hoses should be hot. Now, one hose is gonna be

453
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: slightly hotter than the other, because one is going to

454
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: be the end and one is going to be the

455
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: app The hose going in is gonna be hotter, the

456
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: host coming out is gonna be a little cooler because

457
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: as we all know, is that lesson we learned in

458
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: junior high about um, you know, convection, and you know

459
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: how heat is dissipated and the heat blowing through the

460
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: heat of fan blowing through the heater core gives us

461
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: some of the heat and it's gonna take the heat

462
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: away and the other side is gonna be a little

463
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: bit cooler. Not by much though, So you know that's

464
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: that if if if we've got good flow to the core,

465
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: but it's cold coming out, we've probably got a restricted core. Now,

466
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:43,239
Speaker 1: like I I flushed, I had it flushed. How did

467
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: you flush? And I flushed it with a garden hose? Okay?

468
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: But but how did you hook the hose to the

469
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: core or to the radiator right to the core? Okay?

470
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: Took another hose and put it in it out from

471
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: the other side of the core, right and put it

472
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: in a bucket to see if things then came out perfect.

473
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: That's the way crank, you know, like crank, you know

474
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: the hose wide open. I mean it was coming out

475
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: of the other side just like it was going in.

476
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: All right, good, all right. Now, Now the other thing is,

477
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: did you happen to do it in the other direction too? No,

478
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: finally did it in one direction to it in both directions?

479
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: Now the other thing is is that where you put

480
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: the hand freeze in, it's got that little tank that

481
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: has like black slime. Minute. Yeah, it's not oil, right,

482
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: it's I've had two people look at two garages, looked

483
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: at it, and they both said, it's the hoses deteriorating. Okay,

484
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: have you ever seen that. I've never seen the hose deteriorate.

485
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: I have seen the black slime. I've attributed it to

486
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: any freeze breaking down back into its a citic base.

487
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: And if I change the container, it doesn't come back,

488
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: is the way I judge it, you know, because it

489
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: took it's a it's a two thousand seven. It took

490
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: eleven years to get there, right, yeah, and I put

491
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: it's got all newly inter freeze in it. Um well,

492
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: And just just as a point of caution for you

493
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: and anybody else thinking about doing this, if you go

494
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: through the pain of changing all the cooling. Change the

495
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: bottles if the bottle is you know, if you've got

496
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: issues with the cooling system, um, you know, change the bottle.

497
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: The bottles a hundred bucks or less. And it's I

498
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: just put a brand new transmission in this this fall.

499
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: I mean, so now I'm so stubborn that I'm going

500
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: to drive this car? Yeah why not? Yeah? Absolutely, listen,

501
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: it only has a yea, but that's really good shape.

502
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: How about how about taking the heater or hoses off

503
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: at the core, starting it up, and seeing what kind

504
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: of flow you get out of the core, you know,

505
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: to the core rather, I'm sorry, you know, if you

506
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: take that, if you take the inlet to the core

507
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: and and put a hose extension on that and dump

508
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: that into a bucket, how fast does it flow? Does

509
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: it flow like a garden hose? All right? If it flows,

510
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: If it flows like a garden hose, you know, then okay,

511
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: we're good. So we've got good flow to the pump.

512
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: We've got good or to the core. If we've got

513
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: good flow out of the core again, because you're gonna

514
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: go back and back flush in the other direction, then

515
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 1: we know it's not the core. So then well, if

516
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: the thermostat stuck open. You know we got an issue?

517
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: All right, um, But the thing I want to get

518
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: across to you is if the flow to the core

519
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: is low at this mileage, you might have a bad

520
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: water pump. The veins could be worn, creating a circulation issue.

521
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all right, And then and then last you know,

522
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: why can't this just be low on cooling? Could we

523
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: have an air bubble somewhere? Well, I've done that, like

524
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: the cover off and idle the cover off this too.

525
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: When I do that, it will throw heat at an idle. Okay,

526
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: when you do what when I pulled the cover off,

527
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: will you put it in the tank? Throw heat an idol?

528
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 1: When you pull the cover off? Where you throw that cover?

529
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: Oh you mean the radiator cap right? Well it's that

530
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: tank did the expansion tank? Right, that's the only place

531
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: you can play, right, Well, that is the that is

532
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: the radiator cap on this believe that's that's that's leave that.

533
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: If I started up and I pull that off, it

534
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 1: always has pressure in it. You know what? Right have

535
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: you have you off? It will throw heat on idol? Okay,

536
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: Well I don't see where that's going to affect it. Um,

537
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: But just for giggles, have you tested the cap and

538
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: or replaced it? Nope? Okay, so let's look at that.

539
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: At this point, I'd probably start this. I'd probably start fresh.

540
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: I'd go through the tests I gave you. I would

541
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: I would definitely replace the tank. I would definitely replace

542
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: the cap. All right. If you think the thermostat is

543
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: marginal at all, put a thermostat in it, all right.

544
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: And and last, you know, let's now let's talk about

545
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: it electronically real quick. All right, let's go look at

546
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: the electronic settings. You know, if you put the temperature

547
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: on cold, you'll probably hear the tempt or hit on

548
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: one side. Then bring it up to hount and you

549
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: should hear it hit or you should hear it change

550
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: in the air flow through the ducks while you're sitting there.

551
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: And if you don't, if you don't hear that swing,

552
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: and if you do it, you'll know what I'm talking about.

553
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: If you do it on a car, right, you don't

554
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: need special tools to do it. Um, maybe you've got

555
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: an actuator issue, alright. An actuator is the electronic control

556
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: motor that's spinning the blend or on top of the

557
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: heater core. To determine how hot or cold it should

558
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: be coming out of the at the ducks of the

559
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: defroster and so on. So so let's let's let's summarize.

560
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: You need to find that O'Riley Oto parts. You need

561
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: to go in and ask them in motor Rad. Motor

562
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: Rad makes a very good line of thermostats and caps.

563
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's put a motor Rat thermostat in it,

564
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: Let's get a motor Rat radiator cap for it. Let's

565
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: replace the expansion tank, and then let's go test the

566
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: rest of the cooling system and we'll know exactly where

567
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: we are. All right. Um, you can obviously go online

568
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: to O'Riley ODO dot com. You can also go out there.

569
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: I believe it's motor Rad. It might be motor red

570
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: USA dot com or motor rad uh dot com and um,

571
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: you know you can get more information about their stuff too.

572
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: They're all oequality O E level components. That's yeah, that's

573
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: where you're going though. All right, Bill, do that call

574
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: me back next week. Let me know, Hey, make out

575
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 1: enjoy the next snow storm. Alright, alright, so you're very welcome.

576
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: Zero zero running in the car. Doctor. We're coming back

577
00:28:54,760 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: right after this. Hey, hey, hey, it's Tony gonna get

578
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: up and start dancing again. Can't be? Please stay seated, Tony,

579
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: no more of that ronading. The car Doctor here at

580
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: five zero nine zero zero. Let's up put that bottle

581
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: of round. We can get him dancing. Yeah we could

582
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: probably could you know? I listen to understand. We've got

583
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: a new affiliate coming up. I won't say where, but

584
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: down by the shore somewhere in Delaware. Um, they wanted

585
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: to saw your note to me the other day. We

586
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: don't need to see that. Well, what about if we

587
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: put Tony in a bathing suit for the marketing department.

588
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: I think that would be great. Get him a little speedo. Uh,

589
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: he's only only if only if you said, did I

590
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: bleach with it? He's like a chick magnet. So but um,

591
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: you know our man, Tony, our man and our man

592
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. Let's go and talk to Lisa and Minnesota. Lisa,

593
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Car Doctor. How can I help HII? Well,

594
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: I was recently in my O'Reilly's autoparts store and I

595
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: was looking for the burying and be twelve camp tool

596
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: that you recommend. And the young man that was in

597
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: there was trying to sell me on sea foam, trying

598
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: to tell me this is a better product. I'd like

599
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: to know if what the difference is between the two,

600
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: and if there's a situation maybe where one is better

601
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: than the other. And then I have another quick question

602
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: after you answer that one fair question. There are a

603
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: lot of fuel system cleaners on the market today, and

604
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: when I start talking about all the different ones, it's

605
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: based on real world application things I've used in the shop.

606
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: I've used c Foam, I've used Barrenman, I've used tech Iron,

607
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: I've used run Right, I've used I think I've used

608
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: just about everybody, but I'm sure there's some out there

609
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: that I haven't used. The thing I like about Berryman

610
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: and I always say this fuel is always changing, and

611
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: fuel system editives are always changing. The thing I like

612
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: about Berryman is when they talk about HESS, their high

613
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: energy solving technology. That's an engineering term and I realized

614
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: some of that's marketing, but that's an engineering term for

615
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 1: something that they've taken and broken apart how it reacts

616
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: and works on carbon. That HESS, that that high energy

617
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: solvent that is a red that is a residual action

618
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: that it's working after the fluid has passed through the vehicle.

619
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: Um sometime later they say it's a twenty four hour

620
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: clean up after the fact. And I don't know of

621
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: any other fuel system cleaner on the market that does that.

622
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: So I've got to give the edge to Berryman. Is

623
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: c foam bad? Now? Is? Do I think Berryman is better? Yes?

624
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: Reason for what I just talked about. All right? Um,

625
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the kid and O'Reilly didn't realize it,

626
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: and that's why he was talking about one. Maybe all

627
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: they had in stock was the c foam. I don't know.

628
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: Maybe it was you told me. He told me he'd

629
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: used both, and in his opinion, he thought the c

630
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: foam worked better. I went with you because I've been

631
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: listening to you long enough. I trust your experience over

632
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: someone who doesn't even look like he's older than my kids. Well, so, yeah,

633
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, it worked perfect. And here's the and here's

634
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: the other catch. Okay, when when we talk about fuel

635
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: system cleaners like that, it's you know, we won't just

636
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: pour it in the tank and go Okay, it runs better. Um,

637
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: I'll pour it in the tank, we'll come back, we'll

638
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: look at the vehicle you know, the day later, two

639
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: weeks later, um, over a time period on some vehicles

640
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: will actually take a board scope, which is a you know,

641
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: it's an automotive stethoscope up and we'll go down inside

642
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: and look at the back of the intake valves before

643
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,239
Speaker 1: and after, and we'll see quite a remarkable clean up.

644
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: Some work well, some not so well. Berriman works real well. UM.

645
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: So that's why that's one of the reasons why we

646
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: stay with Barriman, and that's why we like it so much.

647
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what at Lisa, stay right where you are.

648
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: Let me pull over and take this pause, and when

649
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: I come back, we'll finish up with your questions. I'm

650
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: ron Aading in the car. Doctor. We'll return right after

651
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: this second. Oh. I love that kind of music that

652
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: means summers coming, cruising hot rod. Oh, come on spring, Lisa,

653
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: we're back. As if you couldn't tell um second question,

654
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: my second question is probably pretty easy. I got an

655
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: impression the guy who answered the phone had no idea

656
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: what I was talking about. Uh, your truck reminded me

657
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: of this question because I have a nineties sevendu alu sabor.

658
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: You've helped me with it before and thank you, and uh,

659
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: it's more of a mechanical question. It has uh something

660
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: in it called Dina ride that makes it drive like

661
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: my daughter's old air ride linkol gone and nal and

662
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you could explain what Dina ride

663
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: is marketing, because it makes a smooth ride even when

664
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: the suspension is gone. In the vehicle marketing, it's it's

665
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: what it is, diner Dino ride or Dinoh ride was

666
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: that they Dinoh tune the suspension for harmonics and vibration,

667
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: and they gave it level ride in the back, air

668
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: shocks in the back and special VALVNG suspension upfront to

669
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: give it that ride on a cloud feeling. Um, It's

670
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: exactly what it was. It was tune suspension. UM gets

671
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: to be expensive to fix when it breaks. A lot

672
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: of people didn't fix it, and you know, it's just

673
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: it's the way those cars rode. I mean that wasn

674
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: Today twenty years later, everything is tight sharp, you feel

675
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 1: every bump um, and that the dynamics of the vehicle

676
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: are completely and totally different. Um. A lot of the

677
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: factors that I think of chains and suspension and tires

678
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: and handling is look at the size of tires in

679
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: the last twenty years and look at what they've overcome.

680
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: Um in terms of side wall, look at how thin

681
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: the sidewall of attire is versus what it was twenty

682
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: years ago. And um, I guess it's the demand of

683
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: the public and what people are looking for in terms

684
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: of ride and how they want the vehicle to ride.

685
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: But that's what Dino ride was. It was Dino tuned

686
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: suspension for a specific handling effect, which personally I like

687
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: the way the the Barons Road. I'm sorry, Les Sabers rode. Um.

688
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: I thought they rode really well. They rode like they

689
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: were on a cloud. So anyway, at least I appreciate

690
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 1: the call, thank you, and enjoy your buick until the

691
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: next time I'm runing any of the car. Doctor good

692
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: mechanics aren't expensive, They're priceless. See you
