55
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: this worth while. It really does. Tales from the Tales

56
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: from the from the floor of the shop. New does

57
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: not mean good. Two thousand four Chevy and Pallet came

58
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: into the shop this week at Area at a motive

59
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: first americanditioning work. The condenser was leaking and it needed

60
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: an oil change. Well, actually we didn't know the condenser

61
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: was leaking when it first came in. The A C

62
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,279
Speaker 1: didn't hold the charge and in the course of diagnosis

63
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: you could see it clear as the nose on your face,

64
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: the blue sky Congress is gonna fill a buster something

65
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: and not vote on something else. As much as you

66
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: know that's gonna happen. This A C condenser was leaking,

67
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: and you knew that's where the refrigerman was going. That's

68
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: why the system wouldn't turn on. In the process of

69
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: doing the condenser, it became obvious that you might as

70
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: well do the radiator because the two or sandwich together.

71
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: You've got to take one out to get to the

72
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: other on this particular car, and it just didn't make

73
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: any sense in any other which way, because at a

74
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand miles twelve years old, to do

75
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: a condenser and not a radiator meant that three months

76
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: from now the mediator was gonna go bed, and you

77
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: end up having to do it anyway and take most

78
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: of what you just took a part back apart. Again.

79
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: So I did a condenser, I did a radiator, put

80
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: some fresh coolant in it, put an accumulator on a dryer,

81
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: desiccan bag, whatever you want to call it. And you're

82
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: part of the country and you're in your wheelhouse, and

83
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: maybe it was a fatal error on my part. But

84
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: I sat and I looked at it. I was staring

85
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: at it right in the face. The pressure cycling switch,

86
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: the switch that commands the air conditionering on and off

87
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: based on system pressure to help maintain cool across the

88
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: evaporator core was staring me right in the face. You

89
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: know what, It's cheap enough, it's I'm looking right at it.

90
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: It's a little buried to get to. Not the easiest,

91
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: not the worst. Lety put a pressure cycling switching it,

92
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: del Go parts, del Go Cycling switched delC Dryer. Put

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: it in car bleue thirty eight degrees. Car was cold. Man,

94
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this car. You can hang meat in

95
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,679
Speaker 1: this thing down the road. Two days later, it shows

96
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: back up on my doorstep. Dan goes to get out

97
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: of the car, and I'm saying, oh, he wants to

98
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: tell me, how did the air condition? He's working, Well,

99
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: quite the opposite. It was. It was wrong. There was

100
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: something odd about it. It was quick cycling the compressor.

101
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: It was warm in the car and it was warm

102
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: outside too. And I knew Dan, and Dan's always been

103
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: a gentleman about it. But I just it just wasn't right,

104
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: Not after spending all that money and doing all that work.

105
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: The man was entitled to air conditioning. My first thought was,

106
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: you know what, give me some time on Monday, two

107
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: days away, let me diagnose it. He went home, he agreed,

108
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: he was fine. He went home. I thought about it

109
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: working on the car I was working on, and I said,

110
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: you know what, thinking about this, logically, the only thing

111
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: we changed was that cycling switch in terms of what

112
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: would keep that compressor from coming on or making its

113
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: short cycle. But it's new. See sometimes I fall into

114
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: the trap too. Isn't that funny? And I'm saying to myself,

115
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: but it's new, it's got to be good. What does

116
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: new mean? Ron never ever worked? Had Dan come in

117
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: the next day, I got another switch out of Delco,

118
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: screwed it in, fired right up degrees. So and I'll

119
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: follow up with you next week when I know more,

120
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: because it's gonna he's gonna stop by Monday or Tuesday

121
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: to tell me how it's working. But the point becomes

122
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: that new does not mean good. And in a day

123
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: and age when there seems to be a lack of

124
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: pride and workmanship and so many things. And I point

125
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: this out simply because I think about you each and

126
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: every one of you. You just had X work done

127
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: at a repair shop. Something went wrong, and right away

128
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: it becomes another story. Right away, it becomes another part.

129
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: This common sense exists, and I know the answer to that,

130
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: and I'll get all the emails that say no common

131
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: senses and so commony more. I get that, But doesn't

132
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: it also require the relationship to be there then? And

133
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: I have a good working relationship. He's been a customer

134
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: the better part of seven or eight years, and he's

135
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: a reasonable rational person. I've never seen the man get

136
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: upset once, and not because of that, but because he

137
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: thinks logically. He thinks clearly. He was a he was

138
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: he was a scientist of sorts in his working life,

139
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: and you can see that he approaches things with a

140
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: very clear and surgical manner. I had another customer this

141
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: week that I haven't seen in three years. The last

142
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: time I saw a Sean, his two thousand seven Toyota

143
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: camera had a check engine light on and it turns

144
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: out that it needed a PCM replacement and it was

145
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: done under warranty Manufacturer eight and I sent him on

146
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: his way. But I haven't seen him in three years,

147
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: and he showed up on my doorstep today. Had just

148
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: had his oil change and tires rotated a quick loop,

149
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: and he said, ever since the TPMs light came on

150
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: and he went back and he talked to him, and

151
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: they said there's really nothing they could do for him.

152
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: There wasn't any connection. He was on his own. And

153
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: I said to Sean after the repair, it was a

154
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: bad TPMs sensor. And I can't say that the quick

155
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: loop damage the TPMs sensor. I can't tell you that

156
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: they did not relearn the position of the t PMS sensors.

157
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: The car was all confused. It but the left rear

158
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: was the right front and the right front was the

159
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: left UH front and it just nobody had been learning

160
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: tire pressure sensor position what you have to do in

161
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: certain cars when you do a rotate. But I said

162
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: the show and after the fact, I said, there's value

163
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: in a relationship. Why weren't you here and let me

164
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: assure you like I assured Sean, I'm not going to

165
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: retire based on doing oil changes. There's not enough money

166
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: in it. Oil changes to me help keep me saying

167
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: they make my job easier because I know the patient,

168
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: I know the car, My guys know the car. We

169
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: know what we did the last time, we know what's

170
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: coming do, and we know what's down the road. But

171
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 1: dropping in something as complicated as the space shuttle on

172
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: a repair shop, any repair shop that they see once

173
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: every three years, and expecting definitive answers in a hurry

174
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: just doesn't work. And it's not going to work going

175
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: down the road even more. It's gonna become an even

176
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: bigger issue. Of course, Shoran's comment to me was, it's

177
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: only an oil change. There isn't any such thing as

178
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: only an oil change anymore. It's all about the relationship,

179
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: as Dan found out, because replacing that cycling switch being logical,

180
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: knowing the car, understanding the customer, and able to make

181
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: them happy. It was if it's not the cycling switch,

182
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: it's something else, completely different, But let me at least

183
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: prove to him why it can't be or it can be,

184
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: and make him happy in the long run. The relationship

185
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: comes to the surface once again in a repair shop,

186
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: just as new means never ever worked. Eight five zero

187
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: nine zero zero. I'm running any of the car doctor.

188
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: The phones are lit up. Let's pull over and take

189
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: a pause. When the car doctor returns, We're gonna kick

190
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: the garage doors open, stay tuned a little, char Hey,

191
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: welcome back. We're eating of the car doctor rolling along

192
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: this hour. We want to we want to introduce and

193
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: welcome our new producer this hour, Quick Caroline, who's out

194
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: there talking with Tom as she's uh chatting it up fast.

195
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: Harry is off today, so we welcome Quick Caroline to

196
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: the crew, and uh, welcome a board, kiddo, and have

197
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: a good run. Let's get over and talk to Joe

198
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: over on line one. Let's open up the owns and

199
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: see what's going on with Marylyn in Connecticut sixty must

200
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: thank Oh this is our Mustang that was overheating last week. Joe,

201
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: welcome back. How we make out? How you doing on OK?

202
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: I appreciate all the help you've given me, and uh,

203
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: what's your last suggestion? Was to back down on the

204
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: timing two to four degrees and change the go to

205
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: a cooler range heat eight plugs. Just drop it down

206
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: one heat range. See if that makes any difference. And

207
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: that's what I did. So I got it down right

208
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: now it's running at two degrees before top dead center

209
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: and the spark plugs. I had a Auto L forty

210
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: five in there, and I went to A one twenty

211
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: four and it ran at the hundred and eighty degrees

212
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: for about twenty five minutes. And when I got into

213
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: traffic a little bit, it kind of like went up

214
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: to and when I got on the Parkway and I

215
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: got up to speed round sixty five, so it's a

216
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: climbed a little bit into hundred. But when I got

217
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: off and started cruising in the neighborhood again, it came

218
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: down down to Okay, so we're in the we're in

219
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,599
Speaker 1: the ball game. We're better than it was. Oh yeah, definitely.

220
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: Now let me let me ask you. I don't remember

221
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: is this a stick or an automatic? It's an automatic

222
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: Sea four and it has a lex light fan. Right.

223
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: How how close is the fan to the radiator? About

224
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: an inch and a half or so. Is there a

225
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: way to get it any closer? I could probably, Yeah,

226
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: i'd be a little tough getting to get on and off.

227
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe, you know, because now we're down to listen,

228
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: you're in the neighborhood. Now you've got to dial it

229
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: in a little bit, So maybe move the fan, you know,

230
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: cut the distance in half. If it's an inch and

231
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: a half, and you can get a half inch space

232
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: or maybe at a half inch space or two it

233
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: and bring the fan a little closer. Don't rule out.

234
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: Don't rule out you know, a factory fans set up either,

235
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: all right? Okay, I took that out for the flex light. Okay,

236
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: did you how long ago did you take that out?

237
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: At what point in this process did you replace the

238
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: one for the other? Oh? No, I did that a

239
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: while back when I put the three row in. Okay,

240
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: So don't don't rule out. Listen, a lot of engineering

241
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: goes into production cars, and the engineer built that fan

242
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: the way he did for a lot of reasons. And

243
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying flex fans don't work, but you know,

244
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: there are some moments where that that fan clutch can

245
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: come in handy and it can help with parasitic drag

246
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: and can also help with you know, engine power and

247
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: um it can do a heck of a job cooling

248
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: the engine at the right moments. So it doesn't have

249
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: the the clutch in there. Okay. So the factory fan

250
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: was just a straight was it? But this was an

251
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: a C car originally, wasn't it. Uh? It was put

252
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: in Okay, Okay, Now I got you, all right, I

253
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: thought this was a factory air car, right, okay, okay,

254
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: Then then I would stay with the flex fan. I

255
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: would move in a touch closer. And then the last

256
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: thing I would think of is is it not to

257
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: make this a real project? But I wonder what would

258
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: happen if you took the automatic trans cooler out of

259
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: the radiator, in other words, just bypassed it, mounted a

260
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: cooler somewhere else. Now we're going to get into the

261
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: ugly factor. Where do you put it? And how do

262
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: you keep the car looking original? I don't have a

263
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: trans cooler, So there's no trans cooler in the bottom

264
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: of the radiator. Oh the radiator itself? Right? Yeah, there

265
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: there is one in the bottom of the radiator, correct, Yeah, No,

266
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: So what if you bypass that? What if you what

267
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: if you disconnected from the radio Because you've got to

268
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: remember that trans fluid is now heating the coolant. Yeah

269
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: all right, So if we eliminate that, what's that going

270
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: to do for you? Does that help the cause? All right?

271
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: And that's something to think about. Two now you think

272
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: about let's go back to the three row all right.

273
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: The reason I told you to take the three row

274
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: out is because a three row radiator. If you look

275
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: at it the way they're designed in a lot of

276
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: cases that that that last row, the back row doesn't

277
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: really get good airflow. By the time this is my theory,

278
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: by the time airflow gets to it that cool it's

279
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: already passed through the radiator and hasn't a chance to

280
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: dissipate enough heat. So you're returning you know, comes in

281
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: hot and it goes out lukewarm, whereas the stuff in

282
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: the front two rows is hot to cold because it

283
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: has the ability to pull air through it. So you know,

284
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: that's the conversation about sometimes slowing down cool and flow,

285
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: you're better off you're giving that radiator a chance to

286
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: radiate and and and give off heat. So what's the

287
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: what's the normal temperature range? Probably just about where you

288
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: are now. Two oh five is about tops of where

289
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: i'd like to see that I can I can tell

290
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: one five is a good range. To ten would be

291
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: the high end of where I'd start to be uncomfortably.

292
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: After to ten, I'm saying, uh, now, what sort of

293
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: radiator cap do you have on this took um? That's

294
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: what they call for, all right, and just make sure

295
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: the radiator caps working right. I won't bore everybody with

296
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: the conversation about what a radiator pressure caps supposed to

297
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: do in boiling point. Uh, you know, right, um, but

298
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: you may want to do that as well, just to

299
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: uh just just to try that. But you know, keep

300
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: in mind that you're you're in the dialing stage, all right. Listen.

301
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: It took me, it took me, oh two months of

302
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: playing to get the hot rod right. But the hot rod,

303
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: which is a black car, all right, flex fan because

304
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: that's the only thing I could find for it. And

305
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: I have a five or six blade fan. I think

306
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: it's a six blade flex and I have it. The

307
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: first time I put the flex fan on the car,

308
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: I had I had it so close to the radiator

309
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: when I stood, when I when when I when I, um,

310
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: let's see, how can I say this delicately? Out of

311
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: heck with it? When I hit it, I actually pulled

312
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: the fan right into the radiator and choot up the

313
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: bottom tank, all right. So you know, sometimes you want

314
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: it as close as you can without the chance of

315
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: it hitting, all right. And then you know, once you

316
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: decided to established where that's gonna be, and you can

317
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: only change one thing at a time, once you established

318
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: where that's gonna be, then you're gonna take a look

319
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: at moving the trans cooler out of the radiator, and

320
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: I mean just disconnecting it at the radiator and run

321
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: an auxiliary trans cooler. Does that make any difference? Okay? Yeah,

322
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: all right. And there's a lot of choices out there

323
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: in terms of what you can put on there, and

324
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: you know, hide and just you just need some airflow

325
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: for it, all right, all right? And you know then

326
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: at that point, maybe cut timing back just to touch

327
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, you've got two degrees before top. Can you

328
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: take some of the top end timing out of it?

329
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: Is there a way to control the total advanced down

330
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: from whatever you have? I think thirty eight? Can you

331
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: cut back to just to try it. You're in the

332
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: tuning stage, Joe. That's what this is all about now,

333
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: So play with it to your heart's content. At least

334
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: you've got a baseline to work from. I appreciate the call.

335
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm ron anating the card doctor. We'll be back right

336
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: after this. Hey, welcome back any of the car doctor here.

337
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: Let's get over and kick the garage doors open once

338
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: again and go over and talk to Chris who's wating

339
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: there very patiently with the team Ford and some problems

340
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: with his turbo and fuel injection. Chris, Welcome to the

341
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: car doctors, sir, How can I help good? What's going on? Um? Well,

342
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: I am, may you call it, a very maintenance minded person,

343
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: and I believe in maintaining relationship with my mechanic and

344
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: garages that are used. Both's going on in fifteen years?

345
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: Um So, I went, I just bought this new to

346
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: me uh Eco Boost F one fifty, which is the

347
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: first direct injection engine. I've had three sex right, and

348
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: I know about the carbon up issues on them U

349
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: versus the multiports. My multiport engine cars, they've had regular

350
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: fuel cleaning and no problems, regular transmission services, differential services,

351
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: radio cooling services, whatever they need. I wanted to establish

352
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: the same relationship with my new truck. Um So. One

353
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 1: of the questions was how often I asked them? How often?

354
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: Um and what kind of plan should I put in

355
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: my mind for induction system cleanings? They were basically telling

356
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: me that it's a no do on the Eco Boost

357
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: that's correct, yeah, yeah, and and here's and here's why.

358
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: Because it's it's funny, I just I just attended the

359
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: forward class on eco Boost and sat through two nights

360
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: and listened to the instructors, and this question came up

361
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: more than once, um, particularly from the guy in the

362
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: third row in the blue shirt that raises his hand

363
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: and went, hey, how can we can't do carbon cleaning

364
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: on eco Boost? And they looked at me and went

365
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: because they're tired of getting this question. Um, the problem

366
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: is that, well, somebody's got to say it. The problem

367
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: is the problem is Chris, that they're worried about the

368
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: aromatics and the solvents that are in the cleaners getting

369
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: to the seals on the turbo creating bigger issues. Yeah,

370
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: and like washing down the bearings, right, Yeah, so it's it.

371
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: It becomes an issue. So the only way you can

372
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: really effectively at this time clean that vehicle's fuel injection

373
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: system gasoline direct injection, is by using a tank cleaner,

374
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: and that's adding a cleaner to the tank. And I

375
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: would tell you at least every oil change, or at

376
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: least every quarter, um, if it's in the budget, do

377
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: it once a month, depending upon the product you're using,

378
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: and you'll end up saving yourself money in the long run. Yeah.

379
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: I use um pends oil, ultra oil synthetic every five

380
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: miles you're on trying to use mobile or a Tier

381
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: one fuel. UM, here's the project the best I can,

382
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, But it's not. Kind of

383
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 1: disturbed me about the whole thing. Was the only authorized

384
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: UM cleaning or repair for the KA boost engine is

385
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: either cleaning physically cleaning their head, removing and cleaning the head,

386
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: or replacing it under the warranties. You know, I was like,

387
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: you guys to me as a consumer, that disturbed me

388
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: and the fact that you know, I have a bump

389
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: of the bumper or extended on it for a hundred

390
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: and fifty but just people out there that don't do that,

391
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: I mean you're talking a lot of books. Well, you

392
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: basically clean an engine that has an inherent design flaw

393
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: in my opinion. And and remember this, Chris, you know,

394
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: extended warranties are great, but you never want to have

395
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: to use it because like assurance, right, it's it's you know,

396
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: it's just it just becomes another issue. So what I

397
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: would tell you to do is there's two products I'm

398
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: currently reviewing and I'm trying to decide because I see

399
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: good I see good in both of them ones b

400
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: G the folks over in b G products e G

401
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: prod dot com UM they talk about their intank cleaner

402
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: and their cleaning systems and Berryman Berryman Fuel System Cleaner UM.

403
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: Their name escapes me. At their website, just google Berryman

404
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: b E R R y M A n UM their

405
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: cleaning system as well. Both good in tank cleaners. UH.

406
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: They both claim to be safe for turbocharged engines. UM.

407
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 1: They're they're really under product review with me right now.

408
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: And I don't I mentioned this now because it's you know, listen,

409
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: you guys should know that I'm doing some research. I'm

410
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: always doing research. I'm always looking for the next better thing,

411
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: because it's it seems unfortunately, even when a company comes

412
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: out with a product that works, some manufacturer goes, ha ha,

413
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: we'll spring this on them, and then that product won't

414
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: work anymore. You'll have to create something else entirely. So

415
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: that's that's an issue. But some form of a fuel

416
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: system cleaner, because g d I engines do require it

417
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: on a regular basis, and it wouldn't hurt, you know,

418
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 1: depending on how any miles you go. I know some

419
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: people that do it once a month, And I know

420
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: people once a month that have got three hundred thousand

421
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: miles on g d I engines, that have done regular

422
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: oil changes, regular maintenance, regular fuel system cleaning, and they

423
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: laugh at you know, extended warranties because they don't need it.

424
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 1: And and that's that's you know, you get what you

425
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: pay for. You know, in a world, how can I

426
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: explain this, Chris, in a in a world that we

427
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: live in where it seems like nothing makes any sense.

428
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: We look at what our politicians and our leaders and

429
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: are alleged heroes tell us. Nothing they say makes any sense.

430
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: But yet in the world of automobiles, and maybe this

431
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: is why I still do this after forty three years.

432
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: It's always nuts and bolts. It always makes sense. If

433
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: you do this, you'll get that done. End of conversation.

434
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: And there's there's no other better way to say it. You, sir,

435
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: are a car guy. You're you're trying to do it.

436
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: You're changing the oil, right, You're using Pen's oil, good

437
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: quality oil. You're trying to put good quality gasoline in it. Uh,

438
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: you know, just just take a look at BP. BP

439
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: makes a good gasoline, all right, if it's a elbow

440
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: in your neck of the woods. The one problem I

441
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: see with gasoline. I'm trying to learn not to be

442
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: gasoline dependent because I still hear the stories about in

443
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: EP eight pulling de turgents out of the gasoline. And

444
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: if you think we've got problems now, it's gonna be

445
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: an even bigger pile of problems later on because carbon

446
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: issues are gonna come back again. Like it's four and

447
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: GM just brought out port fuel injected engines. So it's funny.

448
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: I just was talking to my buddy about the same thing.

449
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: It's like it seems like we're back in time, even

450
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: with the the salts and stuff to use it on

451
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: the roads. Yeah, that's why I kind of I have

452
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: fun when I get back on my I have a

453
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 1: ninety one less than you see that. I basically took

454
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: a part in re bolt and restored it and put

455
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: it all that together. It made you feel It's where

456
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable. You know what? It made you feel good? Right, Chris?

457
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think hot Roger therapy. You can go to

458
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: a therapist for two an hour. You can go take

459
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: something apart in your garage, clean and put it back together.

460
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: You know what makes you feel good? That's the other one.

461
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: The other one's got all the technology and IT and navigation,

462
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: and that this is just bare bones, raw manual transmission,

463
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: creaking moan car that you don't really have, a white

464
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: knuckle car that you drive, that doesn't drive you. You know,

465
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: we talked about this all the time as an a side.

466
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: And then then I'm gonna go, uh, you go down.

467
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with them, they're great cars. Go down. Buy

468
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: a new Camaro, a new Corvette, a new you know,

469
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: Shelby Mustang, whatever floats your boat right twenty years from now.

470
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: If they don't make a chip for that car, they

471
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: don't make an electronic shockups over for that car, they

472
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: don't make something electronic, that car is now a big

473
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: pile of plastic that you're gonna shred. But you take

474
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: that non computerized fifty five Chevy sixty nine, Camaro sixty

475
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: you know, sixty eight Mustang. Nuts and bolts, they're always

476
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: going to be there, and so much so they're stamping

477
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: those cars out still today they're they're reproducing a lot

478
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: of body pieces. So there's something to be said about

479
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: working with your hands and putting together nuts and bolts

480
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: at uh. It kind of touches a person's soul and

481
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: it helps keep them, helps keep them saying in a

482
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: lot of cases, Chris, I appreciate the conversation, Sir. You

483

492
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: Steve Cook is a recurring guest here on the Car

493
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: Doctor as a former teacher in auto mechanics, and I

494
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: suspect he's still a current teacher into mechanics somewhere somehow,

495
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: because that's what Steve loves to do. I wouldn't know,

496
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: Steve if you was standing next to me, but suffice

497
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: it to say, it's like being at the carnival somebody else, hey, Ruben.

498
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: Everybody shows up to help, and Steve is always welcome

499
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 1: here as he tries to help us educate you on

500
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: what's going on with automobiles in the world that we

501
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: live in. So Steve, once again, welcome back, sir, Thanks

502
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Um. What's the what's the news today, Stephen? Well, Um,

503
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: about two months ago, I was up in Michigan. I

504
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: was taking some classes up there, and I've learned about

505
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: this new registry through the National Automotive Service Task Force

506
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: and uh, apparently from what I've read and then I called,

507
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: I actually called him and talked to him. Apparently that

508
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: if you're going to do any work on cars, it

509
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: requires anything with the vehical security systems on them. Um,

510
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna have to get a special I D

511
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: and stuff in order to do that. They call it

512
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: an l S I D yes from the for the

513
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: locksmith licenses. We call it in the trade. Right. Yeah,

514
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: when I talked to the guy, he said, this all started.

515
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: I didn't notice this all started back in two thousand

516
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: and eight, but they are there now there. Um, they're

517
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: going to implement this across the board with with all

518
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: the car manufactors. So it's got some real implications for

519
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: anybody that's in the automotive industry. Well, and you know

520
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: what one of those implications. You know, first of all,

521
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: Stephen Steve, I think you know, because this is gonna

522
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: be retroactive, This is gonna go back to two thousand

523
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: to two thousand three, correct. You know, who in their

524
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: right mind wants to steal a fifteen year old Honda.

525
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: They're nice cars, They're not that nice, you know. It's

526
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: it's and sometimes we spend a good portion of the

527
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: day trying to cobble together junk on older cars that

528
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: if we could eliminate the system, we would save the

529
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: customer money in the long run. And you know, here's

530
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: let's let's let's make it a basic automobile again. We

531
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: don't need the electronics. You don't need anti theft on it.

532
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: How many GM products Steve uh, like ninety eight Buick UH,

533
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: the Sabers and you know that vintage with the UH

534
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: and you had a wire and a resistor at the

535
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: base of the steering column because the wire would break

536
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: up in the top and nobody wanted to pay for it,

537
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: and you would bypass the system. That way, you would

538
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: cheat the system. Or better yet, I had a Pontiac

539
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: Grand Prix back in the day that the anti theft

540
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: module was no longer available and we had to create

541
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: a bypass. Doesn't that make sense? Well, yeah it does.

542
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: But when I was talking to this guy, one of

543
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: the things he said, it was a big concern. As

544
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, there's been there's been a lot of going

545
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: back and forth, is to who owns the software in

546
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: these vehicles now and all the information obtained, And the

547
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: guys said, basically just comes down to as much of

548
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: a privacy issue as anything else, is what the guy

549
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: was telling me. And the manufacturers are trying to find

550
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: a way to protect themselves and I think eliminate independent

551
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: repair shops to a degree or at least controlling the market. Well, see,

552
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: here's the thing, and that's why I asked him. I

553
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: was talking maybe said he didn't really think so, and

554
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: he said here's why, said, because every technician, whether in

555
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: a deership or independent garage, is going to have to

556
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: go through this screening process and that in order to

557
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: get this license. This I d yeah, everyone. So, so

558
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: if if if you want to think about this for

559
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,719
Speaker 1: a minute, how many modules on a car interact with

560
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: the security systems, the interlocks and that on the vehicle.

561
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, in terms of percentage I've got to

562
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: say two thirds of whatever is on the vehicle has

563
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: to go through the security system. Okay, so right, so

564
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: so so so so figurious for a minute. You gotta

565
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: let's say, you gotta replace a BCM on the car. Okay.

566
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: And of course when you're replace that, you've got a

567
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: program and what have you, and you're gonna have to

568
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: get it to handshake with the immobilizer module. Okay, you

569
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: don't have that. You don't have this l S I D.

570
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: It ain't gonna happen, right, you can't program it. And

571
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: one of the things I asked him to I said,

572
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: what if what if the security module was part of

573
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: say the PCM. I says, are they going to restrict

574
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: your access to the PCM and to the data and

575
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: things of that nature? I don't know. I mean, you know.

576
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: So the thing of it is is what what what's

577
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: really scary about this is I talked a bunch of

578
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: people about this, and very few people even know this

579
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: thing's coming down the line. Well that's you know, Steve,

580
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: That's like I've talked to people cently and I think

581
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: Joel actually called you from the magazine with regards to

582
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: the Bluetooth scan tool technology. A lot of people aren't

583
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: aware of that in terms of the cars are gonna

584
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: beat now you're gonna be licensed to connect to the

585
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: car with a scan tool, Bluetooth technology, the hard wire

586
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: connector is going to be out the door in and

587
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 1: and how how are you going to work on the vehicle.

588
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: So there's there's clearly major changes coming. Listen, the clock

589
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: is gonna take us. But let's leave it here for now.

590

613
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: so long? What should I do before driving it? I

614
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: have a suggestion, maybe checking the gas pedal for free movement.

615
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: Maybe something to add keep with the good work in

619
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: started this was Bob Rotsey has a two thousand ranger.

620
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: Over the winter, he didn't really use it, didn't really run.

Speaker 1: He took it to my my place upstate about her to

622
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: Triple on the thru Way. Kept feeling like there was

623
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: a madame to the gas pedal. When I hit the

624
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: country roads going up to Steve Hill, I put my

625
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: foot in the top of the hill, the gas pedal

626
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: stuck to the floor and I was able to pull

627
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: over to the shoulder shut it off. Yup, the gas

628
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: pedal was stuck. So he makes a good point. If

629
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: the vehicle has been sitting for a long period of time,

630
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,960
