Yukon's sort of like a Chevy suburban, 41 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: that type of thing, and the complaint was when you 42 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: hit a bump, the vehicle's door locks would cycle. Sometimes 43 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: the dashboard lights would flicker on and off various ones, 44 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: and sometimes, in worst case scenario, the vehicle would shut off, 45 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: but always restart. Welcome to the repair of the week. 46 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: When the car showed up, naturally, the first thing I 47 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: always do is, you know, visual once over a trip around, 48 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: it scanned it for codes, multiple codes, different areas, things 49 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: that made sense but didn't make ends, but some things 50 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: that really stood out, one of which was a communication fault. 51 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: It had a you thirteen sixty I believe it was, 52 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: which is a communication fault code. Somewhere inside the vehicle. 53 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: It's it's data bus was being interrupted for some reason, 54 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: but nothing that pointed me towards this or that it 55 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: was just I knew it had a communication fault, which 56 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: I could have told you. If it was cycling and 57 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: shutting things off, it would make sense to me that 58 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: we had a wire bouncing around, or a module bouncing around, 59 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: or something going into failure and shutdown mode. The hard 60 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: part was I couldn't duplicate the problem, couldn't get the vehicle. 61 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: And to this day, and naturally you know it's fixed 62 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: because it's the repair of the week. But to this 63 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: day I never saw the car do with the vehicle 64 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: owner said it did and I and I believe Myron, 65 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: I really do. I'm sure you didn't stop by to 66 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: have me repair something that wasn't broken, But it was 67 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: just frustration on a lot of people's parts that I 68 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: can't duplicate the condition. But I have to fix it 69 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: because you have to fix the car that in front 70 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: of you. That's part of what a mechanic is supposed 71 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: to do, So you have to think outside the box. 72 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: One of my daughters tells me all the time that 73 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: you're one of the best that thinking outside the box. 74 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: I'm always amazed and you inspire me as I go 75 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: forward in life. I just can't figure out how you 76 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: do it. Sometimes, you know what rage Sometimes I can't 77 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: figure out how I do it either, But do it? 78 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,119 Speaker 1: I try. I sat down and did some research, I said, 79 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: because I always believe that in a lot of cases, 80 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: you can't be the first one to be seeing this problem, 81 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: and somebody else must have run into it somewhere. I 82 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: knew I was having a communication fault, so I knew 83 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: the vehicle was shutting down, and after a look around 84 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: to make sure because my number one concern when I'm 85 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: dealing with something like this, is are there any aftermarket 86 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: components in the vehicle? The non general motors, radio and 87 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: the dashboards stuck out in my mind, and I tucked 88 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: that in the back of my mind's eye for possible 89 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: future reference. But I knew I was looking at something 90 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: more than that. A quick scan under the dashboard, A 91 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: quick look under the dashboard, if you will, showed me 92 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: nothing looked like a wiring harness that as it was 93 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: in installed in two thousand and three, back when this 94 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: vehicle was young. So I knew I had to look 95 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: somewhere else. Did some reference database searching through some of 96 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: the databases we subscribe to at the shop and the 97 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: ones that we know that we can count on. And 98 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: that's important to note because you, as an Internet repair person, 99 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: maybe you're that Internet repair guy that uses the Internet 100 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: and please everything you read and see there. I knew 101 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: that the Internet isn't always reliable, so way back when 102 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: we subscribe to some databases that are confirmed. Once that 103 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: vehicle gets fixed and it's logged into as hey, this 104 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: is what fixed it, it's reviewed by a panel board 105 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: of mechanics to decide is that really going to do 106 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: the job? Well? I found more than a few that 107 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: talked about various ground problems on this particular generation GM vehicle, 108 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: two of which are at the back of the intake 109 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 1: manifold and exactly the one spot that you can never 110 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: really see them, sort of thinking in the back of 111 00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: my mind, if it's hard to get to, and if 112 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: it's in the as possible place to be repaired, that's 113 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: probably what's wrong, because that's how Murphy's law always works, 114 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: and something I'm gonna catch up to Murphy. I keep 115 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: saying that, And I started looking and testing grounds as 116 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: best I could, even the ones I couldn't see Ground 117 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: one oh three, G one oh three. I shall forever 118 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: remember that in my mind's eye. Because I couldn't physically 119 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: see G one oh three, I could touch it, and 120 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: touch it I did. I laid across the top of 121 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: the motor and reached way down on the back of 122 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: the bell housing area at the top of the intake 123 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: and just found the wire that came down from the 124 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: wiring harness. And when I tell you it was an 125 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: easy tug, you would have to pull harder to pull 126 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: hair out of your head, which I won't say I 127 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: was close to doing, but I was considering it because 128 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: it was getting frustrating, and I just gave a little 129 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: to the wire came off in my hand and I said, wow, 130 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: look at that. This wire is one strand. And when 131 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: I looked at it, when I cut it away for 132 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: a cross section, I counted there are ten strands of 133 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: wire in that wire that make it up. It was 134 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: down to one one strand of wire. But did I 135 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: find a fluke? Did I find something that was well, 136 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: A lot of things get frayed wires over time. How 137 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: important was ground one oh three? Let me tell you 138 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: how important ground one oh three is because the bottom 139 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: line becomes ground one oh three was the fault G 140 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: one oh three on a General Motors truck of that 141 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: vintage is the main ground for the vehicle computer, for 142 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: the PCM YEP. And every time that PCM would turn 143 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: on and off because when it loss G one oh 144 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: three on a bumpy road and that wire flexed enough 145 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: that it was working itself back and forth and the 146 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: electronics couldn't carry the load on one strand of wire, 147 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: that PCM would shut down. It would cycle the door 148 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: locks because it thought it was key on, key off, 149 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: key on, and it would do all all sorts of 150 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: crazy things that you can't predict with the electronics on 151 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: the dashboard because fixing ground one oh three fix the problem, which, 152 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: by the way, I have to point out um to 153 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: the General Motors engineer that wanted to save the two 154 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: cents on the I don't know, extra quarter of an 155 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: inch of wiring loop because they don't think about things 156 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: moving and sagging and changing his vehicles ages. Roll on. 157 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: I put a loop of wire in it so there's 158 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: the engine was going, you know, down the road with 159 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: the vehicle, and that the engine would kind of shift 160 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: and move and twist. It's not pulling on the harness 161 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: all the time, and it won't break the new wire. 162 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: And that really is the repair of the week.

Charles 187 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: around with the car doctor, Sir, how can I help? 188 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: H Well, I've got a RAP four V six two 189 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: thousand and eleven. Great car. Oh yeah, nice car. I 190 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: do a lot of maintenance on it. I keep it 191 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: up because I like it. What I'm wondering is they 192 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: gott n anty five on it? Ah use the oil 193 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: chains all the time mobile one all that. Uh, I'm 194 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: thinking about changing the the cooling on it. What do 195 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: you think and and cleaning the h the injectives and 196 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: all that. I saw you your online this morning, so 197 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: they prompted me to oh yeah, got you listen, I'll 198 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: tell you what I think. I think you're right. At 199 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: the time frame. We're on a two thousand eleven Toyota. 200 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: You should be replacing cooling that has super long life 201 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: pink Toyota cooling in it, which is considered five year coolant. 202 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: So two thousand eleven through two thousand sixteen model year. 203 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: Because I always look at model years depending upon when 204 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: the vehicle was made, you know you're right on that 205 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: four or five year window of replacement interval. So yeah, 206 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: by all means, it's a UM. It would be ideal 207 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: if you could find a repair shop that has an exchanger. 208 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: But if you're gonna do this yourself, it's gonna be drained, 209 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: the radiator pole, hoses off of it. Try and get 210 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: as much cooling out of it as possible. But keep 211 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: in mind, without a coolant exchanger, you're never gonna get 212 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: everything out of the engine block. So an exchanger is 213 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: in your best benefit, so that that may cost you 214 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: a little bit of money to have a shop do it. 215 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: But the other half of the question, I can save 216 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: you some money, all right, because if if you're do 217 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: it yourself or you want to do it yourself, I 218 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: can tell you about motor Medic, which is a new 219 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: carbon cleaning product out on the market in the last 220 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: couple of months. It's available at all Riley Oto Parts 221 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: and it flat out works. It's a professional fuel gray 222 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: or it's a professional grade fuel system cleaning kit that 223 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: you to do it yourself or can use. UM. The 224 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: neat thing about it is it cleans both the fuel 225 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: and the intake side of the system. It will work 226 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: its way right through the intake PLANUM, go down, clean 227 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: the valves, clean the carbon off the top of the pistons, 228 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: and it doesn't excellent jump. So you want to look 229 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: for that motor Medic. You'll find it in any O'reillyoto Parts. 230 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: We've actually started using it in the shop in the 231 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks and we're finding very good results 232 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: with it. I'll get some this week, all right, sir. 233 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: One other question, Can I get one more? Yeah? I 234 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 1: have a two thousand nine Toyota Corolla regular motor at 235 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: Mota and have never changed the training fluid in it's 236 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: kind of out in twenty on. It runs great, uh, 237 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: but it new Uh. On the stick when you check 238 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: the fluid, it says do not change I don't know 239 00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: what that means, do not change the viscosity or well, 240 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: the problem is that's probably Toyota w WS World Service fluid. 241 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: And you know, they kind of let everybody buying into 242 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: the fact that you never have to change fluid. Uh. 243 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: You know, here you are at a buck twenty and 244 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: the trans is still working, which is a credit to 245 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: the technology. But in reality, it's a simple drain and fill. 246 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: And even on the ones where it's a dip stick 247 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: less vehicle, yours is not. You said you had a dipstick. 248 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: It's still easy enough to do. So I would change 249 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,079 Speaker 1: the fluid and make sure you're using original equipment Toyota 250 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: or when you're out at your local O'Reilly see what 251 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: they have as the equivalent to the Toyota WS fluid, 252 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: and um, you know that'll work just fine, But I 253 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: would change the fluid and that and by the way, 254 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: as long as we're talking about it going back to 255 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: the raft four if you haven't changed the fluid, and 256 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: that I would consider replacing that as well, simply because 257 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: all fluids do have a finite life. Nothing lasts forever, 258 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: much as marketing departments and car manufacture want you to believe. 259 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: All Right, sir, great, thank you very much. You're very welcome, Charles. 260 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: You have a good rest of the weekend. Thank you 261 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: very good. Yep, you to take good care of bye bye. 262 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: Let's get on over to j R, Westchester, New York 263 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: on line one. Some questions about a two thousand and 264 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: eight Toyota FJ j R. Welcome to the car doctor, sir. 265 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: How can I help? Thank you? How are you all right? Sir? Good? 266 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: What's going on? Um? As I have a two thousand 267 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: eight FJ Cruiser with about a hundreds and thousand miles 268 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: on it automatic. UM, it's been modified quite a bit. UM. 269 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: But I noticed I bought it last year and I noticed, UM, 270 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: between thirty five and forty hour when I'm in drive, 271 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: it starts to shake like the car starts to take 272 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: almost like a stick shift. If it doesn't have enough 273 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: um tort like if you don't give it enough gas, 274 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: like it's like you're like you're in too high of 275 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,239 Speaker 1: a gear going too slow, it starts to chuggle exactly 276 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: exactly so so so I looked it up online on 277 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: the forum, and a lot of people seem to have 278 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: this problem, but no one seems to know what causes it. 279 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people bring it to the dealer, 280 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: and the dealer don't seem to really, you know, help 281 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: them too much. I'm trying to figure out what what 282 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: you know, what's causing it? There has to be you know, 283 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: the thing is when you when you move it into 284 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: the fourth gear or any other gear, it doesn't do that. 285 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't make the ship a car shake. So it's 286 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: just a drive. I don't think it's a transmission problem. No, 287 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a transmission problem either. I tell 288 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: you how I would approach it. But my first question 289 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: has to be you said it's modified. It's modified. How 290 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: is it lifted? Is it bigger tires? Is anything modified 291 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: suspension or drive train wise or the or the mod's 292 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: all body? Uh, it has been lifted and it does 293 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: have five done it, so it's the tires are a 294 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: little bigger. Um the one concerned about a lifted vehicle, 295 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: and it may or may not be the case with you, 296 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: but I just want to mention it is how did 297 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: they lifted Did they change opinion and go to the differentials? 298 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: Is it? And if they did, did they modify it 299 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: so that it's still a good, clean angle and then 300 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: it's not excessive to the point that that could be 301 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: a source of the vibration. Only you can tell by 302 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: looking at it or having your mechanic look at it. 303 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: You know. In other words, if if the rear end 304 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: is um the opinion of the rear end is is horizontal, 305 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: and they lifted it, they actually pushed the differential down 306 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: or pulled it up too far, and now the drive 307 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: shaft comes in at an odd angle. Everything everything I 308 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: tell you from this point is gonna be mute because 309 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: you're fighting something that's in the design change of the vehicle. 310 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: If you follow my drift, all right, So just just 311 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: keep just keep that in mind. First question I've got 312 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: is when this does this. Let's let's pick a number, 313 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: thirty five miles an hour. When this does this at 314 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: thirty five miles an hour, is it there only when 315 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: you're stepping on the gas, or will it do it 316 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: while you're coasting as well. If if I'm just kind 317 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: of proved, like keeping my foot on a gas but 318 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: not not pressing it harder or not coming off all 319 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: the way, it'll do it. But if I if I 320 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: come off or push it harder, it'll go away. Okay. 321 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: So if you can, you can either drive through it 322 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: or allow it to dissipate by not applying fuel. Right, 323 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: if I keep my foot stationary, it'll it'll continue, Okay. 324 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: You know, I gotta tell you. It almost sounds like 325 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: opinion angle problem. It almost it almost sounds like you're 326 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: you're pushing the rear one way or the other in 327 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: terms of where it's at position wise. Um, this is 328 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: a four wheel drive vehicle, obviously, correct, right right? Um? 329 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 1: I wonder that changed because in fourth gear it doesn't 330 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: do it at all. Well, and maybe in fourth gear 331 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't have the torque to do it at all. 332 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't, maybe it doesn't have the power to 333 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: do it at all. So let me let me ask you. 334 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this question. Is there a flange 335 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: on the output shaft of the transfer case. And what 336 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: I'm getting to is, I wonder if you could drive 337 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: this vehicle without the rear drive shaft in it. In 338 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: the words drive it off the front shift. I wonder 339 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: if you could, and I would, I would do some 340 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: research in that direction to see if you can. If 341 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: you can, if you pulled the drive shift out, does 342 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: that make a difference? All right? Because you know we 343 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: we could have the conversation about are the tires balanced? 344 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: Is there a bent drive shift in the truck? Is 345 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: there a rim bent? But I'm sure you know what 346 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: You're no dummy. I can tell by the conversation. You 347 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: know you've already researched, all that, you've already gone through, 348 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: all that you bought a lifted vehicle. You know you're 349 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: buying something that's a little bit off the beaten path. 350 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: So I would start to look for the irregular. And 351 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: my first thought is can I drive this thing without 352 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: that drive shift in it? And if I can, does 353 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: the problem go away and change? And if it does, 354 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: then I start looking at suspension and how that real 355 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: opinion is facing. Good luck to you j R. If 356 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: you need more help, you can give me a shout. 357 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: I'm running any in the car.

Maureene, you're out with the car doctor. 387 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: How can I help you? At zero zero? Yes, thank 388 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: you all for taking my call. The show once before 389 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: and I was very impressed with it. Thank you. Um, 390 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: you're welcome. I have a two thousand is three pan 391 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: at um. It's regarding a paint job for the back bumper. 392 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: I just wanted to paint it because it head scratches 393 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: and I thought it would look nice, so I went 394 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: ahead and did it um. When when I brought it, 395 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: what happened was I think it was eight months ago, 396 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: uh today, eight months ago, not quite a year. When 397 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: I it start, I noticed that they were like bubbles 398 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: coming up from underneath the paint um in sections. And 399 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: when I brought it back to the autobotted mechanic who 400 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: painted it, he says, well, that will happen if somebody 401 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: hid it, but there's no evidence of anyone hitting my car. Yeah, 402 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: I disagree. I think he's I think he's trying to 403 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: duck the bullet, Maureen. From my seat here and from 404 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: your description, I think that the surface wasn't prepped properly 405 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: and the paint is just lifting. Yeah, well, is there 406 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: anything that I could do to um keep the paint 407 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: from peeling off? Like? Do it? Anything I could do myself? Now? Unfortunately, No, 408 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: it's something. Now it's and now it's going to get 409 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: worse in time. I would back and talk to him 410 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: and say, listen, you know, if I want to try 411 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: and understand this, and this is you talking to him, 412 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: you know, I want to try and understand this that 413 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: you know you're saying this is an impact, but I 414 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: don't see a point of impact here there and there 415 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: has to be a mark. You know. This is no 416 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: different than when somebody has a bad tire. And in 417 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: my forty three years plus of doing this, you know, 418 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: somebody will bring the at tire that we sold them 419 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: a year ago and they'll say, gee, you know this 420 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: tire went bad. I don't understand why the belt shifted 421 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: and so on, and I will always find a point 422 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: of impact. You will see where the cord was damaged 423 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: from either a pothole or a curb or something. There's 424 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: always there's always could I have it corrected? Could I 425 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:51,239 Speaker 1: have it? Sure? Uh? The other auto body mechanics that 426 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: I asked if it could be repainted and spraped and 427 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: all that, he's going to charge me more money. But 428 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: as long as I know I could have it correct oh, absolutely. 429 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: And and for that matter, just for giggles, ask them, 430 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: what would you be better off replacing the bumper? If 431 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna go through this expense, if you replace the bumper, 432 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: would that give the body shop a better base to 433 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: work with? In other words, as the old bumper weathered 434 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: or damaged somehow that it's preventing or making it difficult 435 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: for the pain to adhere to, which is something I 436 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: would think the first body shop should have pointed out 437 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: if they saw that. And I'm not saying they did 438 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: or didn't, but it's just don't be afraid to say, hey, 439 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: can I get a replacement bumper? It may not be 440 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: all that expensive in comparison to having to do the 441 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: job twice and possibly a third time if somebody doesn't 442 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: stop to think about it. Now, that's my point. Oh, 443 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: I could get a part. They could get a part 444 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: for Casey Soul. Sure, absolutely absolutely. If they can't, I'll 445 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: tell you what I can. I can almost guarantee if 446 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: they can't get a new one out of General Motors 447 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: the aftermarket somewhere, we'll have one in terms of one 448 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: of the off off shoot UM body suppliers that are 449 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: out there. To be honest with you, people don't realize this. 450 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: More than a few repairs being done in body shops 451 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: right now as we speak are using non original equipment 452 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: parts because insurance companies like that. It saves them money 453 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: in the long run and helps them put cars back 454 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: on the road that they're required to repair. So don't 455 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: don't think that you can't find a bumper for a 456 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 1: two thousand three Pontiac. It's out there, Okay. I do 457 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: appreciate your helping me out, and I will try the 458 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: other alternatives which might be an option. Yeah, absolutely, all right, Maureen. Oh, yes, 459 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: thanks very much, Ron, Thank you, you're very welcome. Do 460 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: you have a good rest of the day. Bye bye, 461 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: um Yeah, listeners, don't um. If we're gonna go through 462 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: the pain. And you know, ort to repair is all 463 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: about pain sometimes, and it's it's degrees of pain. Sometimes 464 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: it's degrees of pain that really aren't painful. They kind 465 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 1: of make you laugh and giggle and say, gee, thank 466 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: gosh it turned out that way. And then again, sometimes 467 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: it's pain that just brings you to the boiling point. 468 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: You said, you know, so it's feeling the pain. Don't 469 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 1: be afraid to think that you can't get a bumper 470 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: for an older car. That car is twelve going on 471 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: thirteen years old. But by the same token, if there's 472 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: enough of them out there. I'll tell you a quick story. 473 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: I have a two thousand five dodged Durgo in the 474 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: shop right now. Sad story in a way. The engine 475 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: failed on it back in May, and there was a 476 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,400 Speaker 1: warranty on it because the person that owns it purchased 477 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: it from a used car lot and he had purchased 478 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: an extended warranty. But it had to go to the 479 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: used car lots mechanic and well, I won't I won't 480 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: say exactly where. Let's just say it was close to 481 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: New Jersey and Canel said park. So it ended up 482 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: they had to have an engine put in it, and 483 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: it took them on five They finally got the engine 484 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: the car back in the middle of September two weeks ago, 485 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: so it was it was like four and a half 486 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: five months. So now that they've got the engine repaired, 487 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: and I'm looking at to make sure that all the 488 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: parts are there. And most of the parts are there 489 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: except for the way they pinched the ground wire between 490 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: the engine and the transmission and the ground wire at 491 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: the back of the firewall sticking out through the hole 492 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: in the bellhousing. And I'm gonna fix that because we're 493 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: afraid to send it back to the engine shop because 494 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: they'll never see the car again. The car needs two 495 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: major parts in order to make it drive a bull again, 496 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: and neither one is related to the workmanship or the 497 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: lack of workmanship on the engine repair. One. It needs 498 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: to shift cable, the column shifter. The shift cable itself 499 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: is broken and the owner has been shifting it with 500 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: a pair of ice scripts, which is kind of neat. 501 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: When you get in the car, you got this pair 502 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: of ice cripts. You gotta grab and pull and hold 503 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: and anyway. The shift cable is on national back order 504 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: from Chrysler, there is demand for eighty three. I made 505 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: it eighty four because I ordered one, and we think 506 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: somewhere along the way when they get to a hundred, 507 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: Chrysler will start to manufacture them again. But my guys 508 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: at Christler tell me that there isn't a shift cable 509 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: in the country, in the pipeline anywhere for a No. 510 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: Five Dodge the angle. I just received word at the 511 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: end of this past week at the shop that the 512 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: shift cable is due to be released November four. And 513 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: as much as we don't like to talk about dates 514 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: on a radio show and you're trying to make generic bread, 515 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: let's just date ourselves here for a minute. That's over 516 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 1: a month away. Can you imagine your vehicles down because 517 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: you can't get the hundred dollar shift cable. Now on 518 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: the other side of it, trying to make the point 519 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: that you can get parts for anything within reason, the 520 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: gas tank has a leak in it. It has an 521 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: EVAP fault code diagnosed that. And when I looked at 522 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: it after finding it, which took a little bit, you 523 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: can see that the metal ring cast into the plastic 524 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: gas tank has rusted so badly it's pushing smoke out, 525 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: meaning that it's leaking because we're using a smoke machine. 526 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: The gas tank, which is n is available Tuesday, so 527 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: you know, and it only fits to model years of vehicles. 528 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: So auto parts is a funny thing. Sometimes you can 529 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: get what you think you can you can't, and sometimes 530 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: you can't get what you think you should. You would 531 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: think the gas tank would be harder to get in 532 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: the shift cable would be easier, but instead it's vice versa. 533 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,360 Speaker 1: So never be afraid to ask, hey, can I get 534 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: one of those? Because either from the manufacturer or an 535 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: aftermarket source, it's got to be out there, except in 536 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: the case of a shift cable, because I tried finding 537 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: that I haven't found when yet from anybody other than Chrysler. 538 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: So that's uh, That's gonna be vice gript city for 539 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: the next four weeks. After I fixed the gas tanking 540 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, eight zero nine zero zero, I'm run on 541 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: any of the Car Doctor and I'm back right after 542 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: this well day, Welcome back, run any of the car 543 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: docurate your service zero nine nine zero zero.

Let's get over and help where we can. 554 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: With Robin Seattle, Washington, two thousand three Honda pilot and 555 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: some questions about oil and two and fifty thou miles. Great, 556 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: this car is just broken in. Rob. Welcome to the 557 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: car doctor, sir. How can I help? Right? You're very welcome. 558 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: Let me explain, Mike, let me explain my situation. I'm 559 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: a baby boom or Nomad, Okay, and I've got three 560 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: I've got three vehicles, uh, DoD Ram pick up and 561 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: a motorcycle GS twelve. But then I've got my good 562 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: old Honda, which is actually in storage in Atlanta, Okay. 563 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: And so what I've been doing is taking my motor 564 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: cycle for the last almost two years now and my 565 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: pickup truck and just traveling around North America and occasionally 566 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: we'll go back to Atlanta for business or whatever and 567 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: drive my drive my pilot. But I'm concerned about how 568 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: frequently I should be changing the oil and the pilot. 569 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: I've had synthetic in it ever since it was new, 570 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: and it's just sitting. It's just it's I've driven a 571 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: probably five miles in the last eighteen months. What what 572 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: kind of synthetic oil? How often you change it? Well, 573 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: what kind of facility is it stored in? Rob what 574 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: kind of environment it's a it's a covered outdoor facility, 575 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: so it's accustomed to changes in temperature. But Atlanta doesn't 576 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: get snow, it doesn't get real cold. There, no, not 577 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: too bad, you know, so you know, is there there's 578 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: probably some room for condensation to form, and that's probably 579 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: your biggest downside here in that an engine sitting will 580 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: still have accumulation in it and you know, globs of water, 581 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: and that's a concern, you know. I think using synthetic 582 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: is absolutely positively the way to go. You know, if 583 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: if you're gonna go back now it's been sitting for 584 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: eighteen months, how often have you driven it in the 585 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: past eighteen months? Is it every three months, every four months. Yeah, 586 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: it's about about every well, it changes just kind of depends. 587 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's I'll be gone for a month and sometimes 588 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: I'm going for four months. Right, I'm just out of curiosity. 589 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: What are you doing with the fuel system? Are you 590 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: leaving it full? Are you leaving it empty? A good question. 591 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: I leave it half full and I put the fuel 592 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: treatment in it, and then when I get back into town, 593 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: I fill us up with premium and then usually drive 594 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: about half tank. Right. You know, keep in mind that 595 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: gasoline loses its pop and starts to um. I don't 596 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: the words not distillayed it. It starts to break down 597 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: and separate individual components. Where I'm told after thirty or 598 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: forty five days now they say selene is just really 599 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: horrible compared to what it used to be. So you 600 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: know that that may become an issue at some point 601 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: over time as well. But going back to the oil question, 602 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: moisture is going to be your culprit here. It's it's 603 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: that's gonna be your big enemy. You know, if you're 604 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: back there every three months and you're driving it. I'm 605 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: sort of a fanatic. As if you guys can't tell 606 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: that by now, I would, um, I would lean towards 607 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,479 Speaker 1: changing it every at least every six months eight at 608 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: the outside, just because of the mileage. And I would 609 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: just disregard the cleanliness of it. You know, if if 610 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: we're wasting one extra or two extra oil changes over 611 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: the next two years, so be it. It's the price 612 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: for being a nomad and able to cruise the country. 613 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: And at least you know that your car is in 614 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: as good a condition as you can possibly make it. 615 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: But you know, I wouldn't leave it in there longer 616 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: than that, simply because I have seen moisture build up 617 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: in engines. Heck, the hot rod goes through it. The 618 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: hot rod sat at the shop last winter because we 619 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,520 Speaker 1: were doing some things in the facility where it's being 620 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: kept on a normal basis, and it was kind of neat. 621 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: I got to watch the hot rod every day. But 622 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: I pulled the valve covers off to do something this spring, 623 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: and there was water laying up there that had just 624 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: condensed inside the covers. And that's a fairly heated, fairly 625 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: constant environment. And I was I was, really I was 626 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 1: impressed and depressed at the same time. So by all means, 627 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: I would consider changing it every six to eight months 628 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: good quality oil and um, think about that fuel system, 629 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: think about adding some good fuel system cleaner to that 630 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: while you drive it with the premium fuel in there. 631 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: And I think you'll be all right. Rob. I hope 632 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: I helped job. I appreciate your call and good luck 633 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: in your travels here. If you get up to New 634 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: Jersey stuff and we'll have lunch. I'm running any in 635 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: the car Toctor five zero nine zero zero. We're back 636 00:33:45,880 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: right after this. Hey, welcome back. We can thank Chris 637 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: from Staten Island for this email. Chris wrote me and 638 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: he said, Hey, Ron, I'm starting out as a young family. 639 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,800 Speaker 1: We just had a baby girl will actually not just 640 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: she's eight months old. Congratulations Chris and Mrs Chris um 641 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: out there on Staten Island. And he says, I'm getting 642 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: ready to put our family car, are four year old 643 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: Honda into condition for the winter, and I want to 644 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: know what your thoughts are on tires. I read a 645 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: lot about different models and makes, and I want to 646 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 1: know what some of the better technologies out there. Chris, 647 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,240 Speaker 1: Staten Island, New York. Chris will tell you what UM 648 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: not because they sponsor or one of the sponsors of 649 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: this radio show. But the stuff from General Tire is 650 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: getting flat out scary. It's so neat if you don't 651 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Uh, their technology is second to none. 652 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: They just came out with an HT S sixty, which 653 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: is an improvement. And this just goes to are you 654 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: the mindset of the folks at General Tire? They had 655 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: the grab R hts and now they've created the ht 656 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: S sixty which is an improvement on that tire. All right, 657 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: it's got better tread life, it's got a tread cushioning 658 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 1: system which provides a quieter ride, and it's just it's 659 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: made better. The construction of it is different. It was 660 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: geared towards light truck SUV's crossovers and it will fit 661 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: that Honda of your as you said, Honda Pilot, it 662 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,800 Speaker 1: will fit that Honda of yours, just flat out perfect. 663 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: So you know, that's part of the conversation today that 664 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: when you're buying a tire, you're buying the technology, you're 665 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: buying the company that goes with it. So you know 666 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: you've got to do some research and most important, where 667 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: you buy that tire, ask them, hey, um, you know 668 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,800 Speaker 1: if I buy four and I get a flat in 669 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: six months, am I gonna be able to get another one? 670 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: And and and that's part of my argument for you 671 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: never want to buy old tire technology. You always want 672 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: to buy the newest tire technology because studies show that, 673 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: you know, it seems to be the odds that you 674 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,399 Speaker 1: can get that flat tire a year and a half 675 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: from purchase, and chances are that newer tire technology is 676 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 1: going to be more readily available than the one that's 677 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: four years old coming to the end of its cycle. 678 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: Something to think about until the next time. I'm on 679 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: ending the car doctor. The mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. 680 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: See you
