1 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Ron and Anian. You know I come home at the 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: end of the day and I always talk to my family. 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: You know, how is your day, And you know we 4 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: always have that conversation. That's really what I try to 5 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,239 Speaker 1: convey to you here. You know, we always get these 6 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 1: couple of minutes in the beginning of the show to 7 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: talk and just kind of warm up the base, so 8 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: to speak. The Car Doctor. If you're towing in fifth gear, 9 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: like towing two thousand pounds and my prematurely wearing out 10 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: the clutch on that vehicle, I think it depends on 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: where and when. First of all, is the vehicle as 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: it's set up radio to tow that two thousand pounds. 13 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of Ron and Anian the 14 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: Car Doctor, since this is where car owners the world 15 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

Uh. You know, it might be 35 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: an affiliate that takes a delayed broadcast. Maybe you're a 36 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: podcast or maybe you're a streamer. I mean, good gosh, 37 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: there's so many ways for everybody to take calls now, Um, 38 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: to call in and do this that you know, that's 39 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: the way you can do it, and to be part 40 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: of the Car Doctor Show as well as you know, 41 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: get out to the website Car Doctor Show dot com, 42 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: podcast that tune in my heart iTunes dot com. I 43 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: want to talk real quick, um about t p M 44 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: S Lights because this is a phenomenon that I'm seeing, 45 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: that's that's going on. That's kind of driving me crazy, 46 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: and I think it's real. Tpm S lights are starting 47 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: to come on and become more of an issue. We're 48 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: getting a lot of people passing, Hey, the lights on, Now, 49 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: what do I do? So on and so forth. When 50 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: I look back, you know, traditionally tires are checked because 51 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: nobody checks tires once a month, like you're still required 52 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: or still thought of as being necessary to do. When 53 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: I look back, it's to me, it's because of the 54 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: longer oil change intervals and and and this is an issue. 55 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: So you know, gone or the days when the majority 56 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: of cars were three to four months, three to four 57 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: thousand miles and you could cycle things and and and 58 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: stay on top of tire pressure and not get caught 59 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: in the seasonal change. Because keep in mind, when a 60 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: door placard, as you know, tire pressure is supposed to 61 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: be thirty four pounds. They're talking about thirty four pounds 62 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: on a sixty eight degree day. So when you put 63 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: air in the tires on a in a eighty eight 64 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: degree day, um, you've got to compensate and adjust for it. 65 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: And and that becomes an issue. So let's just suffice 66 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: it to say that if you don't want to, if 67 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: you want to avoid being quoted in between, and you 68 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: want to avoid t p m S lights, just start 69 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: thinking about you know how one pound of pressure is 70 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: changed for every ten degree of up and down. Um, 71 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: So you want to stay on top of that and 72 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: maybe check your tires on a regular basis, because we're 73 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of tpm S lights uh um, really 74 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: becoming an issue. So let's uh, let's real quick. Let's 75 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: open the garage doors and welcome Steve from Maya with 76 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: some questions about a catalytic converter issue on A two 77 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: thousand six on to CRV. Steve. Welcome to the car doctor, sir, 78 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: how can I help? Hello? Okay, I've been I've been 79 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,839 Speaker 1: told a lot of things. My initious catillic converta. I've 80 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: been told it was bad. Okay. They printed it out 81 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: to get the machine. They checked out what the computer 82 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: said in it, and I said to the cattic converter 83 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: is bad. Now, Honda, one place once nineteen hundred dollars. 84 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: Another place wants a thousand dollars for the fourth thing, okay, 85 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: and then at order something that's got what it was cold? 86 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: They said a hundred thirty one dollars. My question is that, Okay, 87 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: why the price difference? Right? You ever you ever let 88 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: me let me explain it like this, Steve, do you 89 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: ever you ever buy a hot dog? Do you like 90 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: hot dogs? Okay? So you ever buy a foot long 91 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: a long time ago? A foot long hot dog is 92 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: a good hot dog, right and it lasts a long time. Yeah, 93 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: And then you get you get a shorter hot dog 94 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: and it doesn't last as long. All right, It's still 95 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: the same thing. It's still a hot dog, okay. Catalytic 96 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: converters are the same way. The difference is how long 97 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: it will last? All right. And even though you know, 98 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: the auto zones and the cheap white box auto parts 99 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: are being touted as you know, lifetime warranty, how many 100 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: times do you want to go through it? The facts 101 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: are still the facts. The laws of physics are still 102 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: the laws of physics, in that the bigger catalytic converter 103 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: has more material in it so that it will last 104 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: longer and give you, you know, the most durability reliability. 105 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: The real question is on a two thousand six, on 106 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: a ten year old car, how many miles are on 107 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: this now? Right? You know, how long are you planning 108 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: on getting out of it? Another fifty thousand miles? Would 109 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: you be happy with another fifty thousand miles out of 110 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: this car? I figured off for about three years, Okay, 111 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: So let's say you do twenty tho miles year another 112 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: fifty thousand You're in good shape. You're probably okay with 113 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: that thousand dollar catalytic converter, al right. Difference being as 114 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: long as it's a good quality piece, like, for example, 115 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: if it's a Walker. Walker makes a great aftermarket replacement cat, 116 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: will it last as long as the Honda piece? Generally not? Alright, 117 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: but look at the price difference. It's half the price 118 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: of that O E cat. Okay, So as well as 119 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: long as this has been diagnosed properly, because there are 120 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: a lot of there are a lot of reasons why 121 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: a P zero four twenty or P zero four thirty 122 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: catalytic converter efficiency code can come on and they're not 123 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: catalytic converters. It can be a thermostatic, can be a 124 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: fuel trim isssue, It can be an oxygen sensor problem. 125 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: It can be a bolton and a reflash there's a 126 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: bunch of reasons. So on the assumption, which is a 127 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: dangerous word on family radio, that this really does need 128 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: a catalytic converter, and I'm not saying it does or doesn't. 129 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: I'm just going with what they diagnosed for you. Then 130 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: the nuts and bolts economic decision. If we were standing 131 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: at the counter and the shop comes down to I 132 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: would sit there and say, Steve, if you're trying to 133 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: get another two years out of it, I think the 134 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: thousand dollar cat is going to do you well. Chances 135 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: are you'll get three years out of that catalytic converter 136 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: before the law of averages says there may be a problem. 137 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: But the fact is that cat from Walker is warrantied 138 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: somewhere between three and five years, depending upon which one 139 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: of their which one of the Walker line it is, 140 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: So you know, as long as it's a good name 141 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,559 Speaker 1: brand cat like that, you're under warranty. Anyway, the hundred 142 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: and thirty one dollar cat, the only thing I would 143 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: use that for is a doorstop, all right, you know, 144 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't trust that to do anything unless 145 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: I'm planning to drive the car for two more weeks, 146 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: in which case, I'll just turn off the light and 147 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: drive it and get rid of it. And who cares. Um, 148 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: cheap parts or cheap parts, I don't find. I don't 149 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: find that the cheap parts really work and do what 150 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: they're supposed to do, and that becomes an issue one 151 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: to itself. Um, So just be mindful when you when 152 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: you do replace this that you want to be sure 153 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: that you know you're doing a cat and you're doing 154 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: sensors to go with it. All right. The only other 155 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: question I could have here is does this vehicle have 156 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: an oil consumption issue? And if it does, then you've 157 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: got to address that before you put a catalytic converter 158 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: on it, because oil consumption can damage a cat and 159 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: obviously coat the cat and shorten the lifespan of it. 160 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of factors to to take a 161 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: look at here. Um, will that cheap cat work? Yeah, 162 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: the question is for how long? Will it work as 163 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: long as that thousand dollar cat? No? Well, the thousand 164 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: dollar cat work as long as the cat maybe, And 165 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: that's the difference. And the reason for the hot dog 166 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: conversation is because an OE cat is let's say the 167 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: o E cats the foot long and the thousand dollar 168 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: cat is ten inches long, and that hundred and thirty 169 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: one dollar cat is is roughly for inches long. It's 170 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: it's half the length of the OE cat. It's less 171 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: than half the length of the OE cat. And um, 172 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: it's definitely smaller than ther replacement thousand dollar cats. So 173 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: all that it's the size of the cat, it's the 174 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 1: size of the material in the cat. That the term 175 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,719 Speaker 1: is just what's going on. I hope I didn't confuse you. 176 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: I hope that cleared it up for you. I'd go 177 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: with the thousand dollar cat if that's gonna be the case, 178 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: as long as they can tell you, yes, that will 179 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: fix the car.

Jim, welcome 210 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: to the car doctor. Sir, Hey, how are you? Thanks 211 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: for having me all? You're very welcome. UM happy. How 212 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: would you answer Phil's question in terms of SS what 213 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: can we do for him? Sure? So at the OUTBLOWTS four, 214 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: we have one of our flagship products. It's called our 215 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: I two. Uh. It's a handheld performance programmer and we 216 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: sell those by O E M. So we do have 217 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: a GM skew there for the s S and I 218 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: believe you said it was so typically what you have. Uh. 219 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: When you know, if you get the box in front 220 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: of you're pulling it out, you're gonna pull out a 221 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: handheld performance programmer and you'll have an O B D 222 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: two port that connects directly to your device and your vehicle. 223 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: It's how we communicate and essentially rewrite and flash your 224 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: computer for optimized performance and also some other custom settings 225 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: that you may want set in that vehicle. But you know, 226 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: bottom line for your for your customer to call it 227 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: in here is that you're looking at up to and 228 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: twenty five ft pounds of torque on the performance tune. 229 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: We also have the ability to calibrate for gear entire 230 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: sizes there if any of that has been done, and 231 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: we can also do some adjustments for spark timing and 232 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: advance and retard. Have have have performance programmers evolved in 233 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: in the list, I don't know five ten years. I mean, 234 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: it's it seems like it's gotten very very high tech 235 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: now it has it. It really has kind of followed 236 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: the trend that we've seen in the automotive space as 237 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: a whole. As far as you know, cars seem to 238 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: be computers on wheels now, um, you know the form 239 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: factors for us at the OBLO, Like a lot of 240 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: things with smartphones and other pieces of technology, it has 241 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: shrunk so that you know the size now you're looking 242 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 1: at you know, the equivalent of holding a smartphone in 243 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: your hand as before you were. You know, some of 244 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: these things used to come in and shoe boxes almost 245 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: they were so big. So you know, you're not popping 246 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: the hood and you're connecting directly to the vehicle. Three 247 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: R O B D two. It's what we call white 248 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: glove technology. And so it really has made it from 249 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: a user standpoint, quicker and easier, uh than ever to 250 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: tune your vehicle. If if Phil you know, goes through 251 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: with this and he's and he and he's playing with 252 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: different tunes, he can get really deep into a custom tune. Correct, 253 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: I mean, how how how far will the programmer or 254 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: willing into an IT too take them? Sure, So all 255 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: of our IT two programmers also are compatible with what 256 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: we call CMR and that's a that's custom tuning software 257 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: that we've developed at Diablo, and we have dealers across 258 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: the country that carry this software. And so typically what 259 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: someone will do if they're going to start going into 260 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: what we would call more stage two or three modifications, 261 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: is they go to our website, they look for a 262 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,839 Speaker 1: CMR dealer, and then these dealers would be able to 263 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: work with you based on reading your VIN to customize 264 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: a custom tune for things such as you know, injectors, headers, cams, 265 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. If if, if, and when that 266 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: customer is ready to kind of take their bill to 267 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: the next level. And so that really um adds some 268 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: detailed customization to the product line if and when the 269 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: customer wants to take it there. Um, you know, out 270 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: of the box, it's going to come pre loaded with 271 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: with three to four tunes depending on the vehicle at 272 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: different octane ratings and also different settings that are available. 273 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: Just you're you're covering the gamut. You're doing what I 274 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: did as a kid in terms of custom tuning and modification, 275 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: and you're doing it through the as you say, white 276 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: glove technology. U seems coming up, Jim, you guys gonna 277 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: be there? I'm sure what's uh? What new product? Any 278 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: new product coming up for the SEMA trade show, for 279 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: the announcement for the release. Sure, yeah, we will most 280 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: certainly be there. Um, we will be right across from 281 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: our colleagues at Holly and MSD. We were purchased by 282 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: them almost a year ago now, so we'll be in 283 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: the central hall, real close to the Ford booth, which 284 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: we're excited about because we expect pretty good traffic. But 285 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: this year, you know what, I too will certainly be showcase. 286 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: We also for people that may no Diablo, they may 287 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: be fafailiar familiar with the Predator, and that was a 288 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: programmer that really put Diablo on the map when it 289 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: comes to performance technology and custom tuning for vehicles. So, um, 290 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: we will be reintroducing the Predator at the SEMA Show, 291 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: which we're really excited about. I think people will be 292 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: impressed when they see not only how it looks, but 293 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: what is capable of doing UH in comparison to its 294 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: UH its predecessor in the marketplace. So, you know, we'll 295 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: have some other announcements that we plan to make their 296 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: but Predator will certainly be in the spotlight as a 297 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: as a new version of the product that really caught 298 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: people's attention in the marketplace for you know, ten fifteen 299 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: years the Predator was the bolt On fuel injection unit. Correct. Well, 300 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: the Predator originally came on as a as a handheld programmer. 301 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: It did work, as I mentioned previously with with some 302 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: of the custom tuning features. So if people were doing 303 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: you know, bolt on cams or headers, it did accommodate 304 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: UH to allow you to tune for those settings. But 305 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: I think what you'll see now with with the Predator, 306 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: before it was a larger device that still connected through 307 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: the obed to this one will UH. You know, you know, 308 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: it'll follow the trend that you've seen with Diablo and 309 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: lots of technology as a smaller form factor quicker when 310 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: it comes to updating and right times and and software updates. 311 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: So if Philany Stroudsburg wanted to go one step better. 312 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: Would a Predator be something that he would look at. 313 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: It will really depend on the feature set that the 314 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: consumer is looking for. The I two is certainly considered 315 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: the flagship product for Diablo. UM. We're also you know, 316 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: capable on the I two of adding multiple vehicle licenses, 317 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: which is pretty unique feature, particularly if someone has multiple vehicles. UM. 318 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: So rather than going out and buying a tuner for 319 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: each of your cars or your trucks or whatever it 320 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: may be, with the in tune, you know, you can 321 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: actually add a vehicle license, uh, directly through Diablo Sports. 322 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: So it's what we kind of call powering up your driveway. Now. 323 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: The Predator UM, as far as a value oriented product, 324 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: is quick, easy to use, and I really think you know, 325 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: the group here believes that the Predator had a very 326 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: strong name in the market, and so we're really excited 327 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: to bring that back and really cater to the late 328 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: model muscle car crowd that that kind of came to 329 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: love that product. So it'll evolve over time as far 330 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: as what it offers and what it can do for 331 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: the consumers. But off the bat, I think it's going 332 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: to turn heads and at a minimum, it'll be something 333 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: that is welcomed back into the industry. That's kind of 334 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: neat that Phil, could you know, get an eye too 335 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: for his SS and if his wife has you know, 336 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 1: the mom mobile, Um, theoretically he could tune that as well, 337 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: just by buying an additional license. Yeah. And you know 338 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: it goes to show that you know you mentioned earlier 339 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: about technology. I mean that that is an area in 340 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: which you know, really we we hadn't explored that it 341 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily feasible previously, but now over the past couple 342 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: of years, Um, based on some feedback we get from 343 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 1: consumers and and the technology that that it's available to us, 344 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: we can we can keep the product relevant without necessarily 345 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 1: having you go out and buy another one. It's excited 346 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: about that. It's it's it's software updates and changes like that. 347 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: Got it? Yeah? Crazy stuff, Jim, listen. I appreciate you 348 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: taking the time and answering Phil's question like that. Force. 349 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: I know I pulled you out of a meeting to 350 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: do this today.

Now we're gonna shift gears and go 367 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: to the other side of the equation and and talk 368 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: to a gentleman we've had on the show many many 369 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: times before and it's always a pleasure to talk to him. 370 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: Tim McDonald from Mitchell One Attend's gonna stop by right 371 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: now and talk to us about well, I've got a 372 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: quick question for him about something I saw in the shop, 373 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 1: and then he's gonna tell us a little bit about Vegas. 374 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: Tim boy, this time of year comes up fast. Huh, hey, run, 375 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, it's really glad to be with you today. 376 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: It seems like it comes up about every six months now, right, Yeah, 377 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: it's it's it's either that or we're getting older and 378 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: the time is compressing. Yeah, it's it's just I don't 379 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: want to you're right. Um what started this for the 380 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: listeners this year? And um I brought it up first, 381 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: and and Tim stop to take a look at it 382 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: from his busy schedule. Mitchell sends out what we call 383 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: what do they tend their their sure track repair fixes, 384 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: the real fixes from sure Track, And and this one 385 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: kind of got me. It was a two thousand four 386 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: Chevy Impala with a battery going dead. That turned out 387 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: that the cause of the battery going dead was an 388 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: intermittent failure on one of the A C blend or 389 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: actuators where the actuator where it would would activate itself 390 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: and get stuck in a wrong position and drain the 391 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: battery down on an intermittent basis. And I read it 392 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: and I couldn't help but wonder to myself. My gosh, 393 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: who comes up with these things? And how do they 394 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: keep track of it? And I said, you know what, 395 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,959 Speaker 1: that's an interview. That's that's a story Tim tell us 396 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: about it. I'd have to agree, if I might, I'd 397 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: like to back up just for a moment and explain 398 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: what sure track is. Sure Uh, Once upon a time, 399 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: in a galaxy far far away, there was something called ascotec, 400 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: which was basically information to come compiled and input by 401 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: UM technicians for snap on for scan tools and such, 402 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: and that was just kind of the genesis of it. 403 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: But sure Track today is where we actually you've heard 404 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,239 Speaker 1: the term big data. What we do is we look 405 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: at all of repair orders. We're looking for trends, predictive 406 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: part failures, things like that. So when you analyze millions 407 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: of repair lines, you're gonna see obvious starter, alternator break, 408 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: typical stuff. But what sure track is, it's that crucial 409 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 1: beyond information that you just couldn't come up with otherwise. 410 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: And what happened in this particular case was there was 411 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: there was three body codes that would be triggered off 412 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: the system of the temperature control doors. And this is 413 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: such an obscure thing that as part of the extra 414 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: prety technicians that are in sure Track. Some of those 415 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: people are many of the people are designated experts on 416 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: GM or Volkswagen or whatever it may be. So this 417 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: was posted to sure Track and sure and with collaborating 418 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: with a couple other people who were GM experts, UH, 419 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: they got down to this the there was the the 420 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: audible symptom, which was the clicking, and they actually came 421 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: up with the testing routine and found out that because 422 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: a nylon or plastic worm gear was warned that these 423 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: motors were supposed to cycle off at a point and 424 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: they were not doing that and that was creating this 425 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: mysterious battery dream. And so by having the experts in 426 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: this community collaborate and come up with these it's like 427 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: a detective story. And they come up with these answers 428 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: and then they are posted and visible to someone using 429 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: our information system. And it's ironic that we're talking about 430 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: this today because this is actually a click on the 431 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: note I gut yesterday. This is actually sure Track migration day. 432 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: That sure Track was a separate place, a separate tab, 433 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: a separate destination, and today is the data is moving 434 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: inside pro demand for a more integrated experience. Now, when 435 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: you say moving inside pro demand being the repair shop program, 436 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: the not the repair shop the information. So I have 437 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: it right that that's actually going to be contained within 438 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: the repair shop program itself, so that it's it's easier 439 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: for text to find this information. Yes, what I should 440 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: let me qualify that just a little bit. We've had 441 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: something for going on a couple of years now called 442 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: one Search and the idea is to deliver that which 443 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: the o E or factory says about the vehicle and 444 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: the repair procedure, but also the expert community, meaning the 445 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: sure track content. Now what happens is that the tips 446 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: are collaboration is easier, it's more accessible, it's more visible. 447 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: I don't have to go to a separate place to 448 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: check my dashboarder post to the community. I'm going to 449 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: do it from inside Demand. Interesting, Well, I'll tell you 450 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: what you guys do a heck of a job. And 451 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: I I read each and every one of these and 452 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: and I think some of these are the are the 453 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: precursor to If enough of these happen, if they get 454 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: enough experiences of this, then I think it becomes a TSP. 455 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: Do you think that's a fair statement? Do you think 456 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: that's a possibility. Well, now you're you're talking about the 457 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: latitude of the of the OE. How they're going to 458 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: address it. Of course, there are tech service bulletins, there 459 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: are uh public recalls, there are silent recalls, so that 460 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: it really would be up to the to the O 461 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: E M to do that. But what it does do, 462 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: uh is that it increases the value of what we 463 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: offer in that Here's what the factory says, here's what 464 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: the technician says, and here's some additional mysteries that have 465 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 1: been solved that you couldn't. There's no way you could 466 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: solve it otherwise you're selling it short time. I like 467 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: to think of it as here's the factory offers, here's 468 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: what the tech say, here's real world, real world exactly. 469 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: That's exactly what you guys offers, real real tips um, 470 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: and it really is true. Hey speak in a real world. 471 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: I've got I've got three minutes. What's coming up? What's 472 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: coming UPEX? You've got an awful lot to talk about. Well, 473 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, we we try to have something new every 474 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: year and and this year is no exception. We're really 475 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: hitting on all cylinders this year. If you want to. 476 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: I'll just give you a quick recap here. We'll be 477 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: previewing the newest version of our shop management software, which 478 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: will be Manager SE seven point one, which will be 479 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: include the first time opportunity to add a special code 480 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: or plug in that will actually allow you to look 481 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: up medium and heavy duty trucks on the same platform 482 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: and integrate tow truck series repair and diagnostics and truck 483 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: labor to create real, big time estimates and repair orders. 484 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: We're continuing to improve the schedule er when you put 485 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: in a new vehicle. Now, I think you will personally 486 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: appreciate this that when you're a new vehicle that you 487 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 1: have the plate look up and vindercode right there. Um 488 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: something that will be of interest to your your listeners 489 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: out there on just as consumers. We have a new 490 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: feature that speaks very well of our relationship with the 491 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: O E. M S and that is a new button 492 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: will be visible in the program called open Recalls and 493 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: primarily UH that's a relationship with Toyota. So if the 494 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: customers vehicle is a Toyota Lexus or Scion and there 495 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: are recalls that are still open not closed for their vehicle, 496 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: that button will light up and it actually goes out 497 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: and bounce is off a Toyota server and comes back 498 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: with the updated information. And I've got to tell you, Tim, 499 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: because I was looking at the program this week I 500 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: did my update. That is that is stunning. I had 501 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: I had three Toyotas in this week that all had 502 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: open recalls on them and the look on the customer's 503 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 1: face when I was able to give them the recall 504 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: and they said, but but but Toyota hasn't told me 505 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: about this yet. Well, what can I tell you. I'm 506 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: ahead of the curve, you know, but like it's real, 507 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: it does words, it's you know what that And I 508 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: think the catch with that is that generates customer loyalty 509 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: and trust because now they go, hey, here's somebody telling 510 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: me what's wrong with my car from a safety perspective 511 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: from the manufacturer before the manufacturer told me, and they 512 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: really enjoyed hearing it. Huge boost of credibility. Yeah. Absolutely. 513 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: One other that that might relate to the consumers, and 514 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: that is we have added first mild credit card processing, 515 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: which means that customers that use our shop management will 516 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: be able to accept fleet cards, gift cards, additional financing 517 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: options which are helpful to the consumer in the end. Yeah, 518 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: and and the improvements. Also, I know you're working with 519 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: UM the update process. You're gonna be doing things with 520 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: the accounting link as well. Correct. Yeah, we're very much 521 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: excited about that. Because this new accounting link works with 522 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: quick Books Online, which the previous product did not do, 523 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: and also Peachtree, Sage or any other major accounting package 524 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: the shop wants to use, we can now accommodate that. Yeah, 525 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, you guys are just light years 526 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: ahead of everybody else. I'm stunned every time I open 527 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: up the program and see the improvements. I I think 528 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: you're at my dentist office, because I watched their scheduler 529 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: and I watched your scheduler, and I'm thinking, you know, 530 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: they're doing the same thing as my dentist, and it's 531 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: it's not as painful because my teeth don't hurt when 532 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: I come out of the place exactly, you know. Just 533 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: to tie that thought there, Uh, Actually, there is, of 534 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: course the setting in the program that says, hey, before 535 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: you leave, we want to set your next deployment, and 536 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: you can set it up to be prompted or just 537 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: automatically kicked the appointment editor open with that customer's name 538 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: and vehicle and everything all looked at. Makes it very easy. Well, 539 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what. I've started doing that since 540 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: you and I had that conversation. And it takes a 541 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: little bit of reprogramming your mind on how to do it. 542 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: But once you once you get into that habit and 543 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: it becomes familiar pattern, it actually works very well. And um, 544 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: I just spoke to tech support. By the way, your 545 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: tech support is still second to none. I just spoke 546 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: the tech support this week about it. I made a 547 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: couple of suggestions and the guy took down all my 548 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: notes and he asked me for my name, and I said, 549 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: just put round the car doctor, I said, when tim 550 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: SS's gonna go Oh no, he's at it again. So 551 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: when when that note comes across your desk, that was 552 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: from me. All right, um, listen, you're gonna be at Vegas. 553 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: We want to wish you a good trip. If the 554 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: listeners are looking for more information, where can they go 555 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: get it? You can go to our website.

We are back right after this. Hey, 561 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: run the car doctor here with a new attitude. Let's 562 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: fix your car. Let's go over and talk to Mike 563 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. Mike, you'r own with the car doctor at 564 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: zero nine nine zero zero. How can it helps her? Hi, 565 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: I have an interesting question for you. I have inherited 566 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 1: just recently a Chevrolet truck just broken in. Yeah, I'm 567 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: wondering what oil should I be using to do oil 568 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: changes on a vehicle that old. Do you think it's 569 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: the original engine? Mike? It is the original engine. The 570 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 1: truck only has seventy four thousand miles on it. Um. 571 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: It was a collector's item that my dad had and 572 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: he's never done anything to it, rebuilt or anything. It's 573 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: just in as is condition. This is like a perpetual 574 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: argument among car guys, the chicken or the egg which 575 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: comes first. Back in they didn't have the turgent motor 576 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: oil like they have today. And one of the things 577 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: that the turgent motor oil of today does is it 578 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: helps keep the engine clean and remove sludge and varnish 579 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: and things like that. So part of the argument. You 580 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: you talk to an engine builder or some of the 581 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 1: engine builders and they'll say that you're using a detergent 582 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: oil on an engine like this can help clean up 583 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: all the varnish and sludge, and it's a good thing, 584 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: but it can also be a bad thing depending upon 585 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: how much is in there, and that it can loosen 586 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: it up from wherever it's hiding and do damage to 587 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: the engine by clogging the oil screen and starving it 588 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: for oil. So you know, my thought process as is, 589 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm kind of agreeing with them. My thought 590 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: process is that the truck is eighty years old. I mean, 591 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: it's almost ninety years old here. Um, it's gotten to 592 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: this point based on what it is, how much are 593 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: you're really going to drive it? I would be more 594 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: concerned with proper viscosity than detergent or non detergent, and 595 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: I would I would me myself, my mechanical mind, I 596 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: would prefer a non detergent oil. Change it on a 597 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: regular basis, kind of a gentle touch, all right. You 598 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: don't want to disturb baby too much, and you know 599 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: you want to avoid having to rebuild that engine because 600 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: somebody just rebuild the engine. Yeah, with what parts? We 601 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: can't get things to work right for a Chevallet. You 602 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: think we're gonna find parts for Chevrolet. Um. You know, 603 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, rebuilding that engine is not as 604 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: easy a task as it once was. So that being said, 605 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: what I would like you to do is contact the 606 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: folks at Ends Oil. I'd like to get an expert 607 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: opinion and on this also from the guys making the oil. 608 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: Explain it to them and see what they have to say. 609 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: All right, I think the answer is gonna come back 610 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: to the same thing regarding viscosity. They may say, hey, 611 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: Penn's Oil may or may not make an oil for 612 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: that for that particular truck, in which case I would 613 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: find something in their line of a non detergent correct viscosity. 614 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna guess a thirty weight is probably more 615 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: than adequate for this particular vehicle. But I wouldn't try 616 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: to get too fancy trying to run. You know, everybody 617 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: wants to run sludge cleaners through, and detergent this and 618 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: detergent that. Leave it alone. It got seventy five thousand 619 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: miles eighty years later, just like it was. It'll probably 620 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: go another thirty years just like this if we put 621 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: a gentle touch to it and um, just baby it 622 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: alone and you'll be just fun. Makes makes sense? Makes sense? Yeah, 623 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: And I know the other suggestion had been as a 624 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: possible additive. Well yeah, you know, and then we gotta 625 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: start to think about the gasket and what the gasket 626 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: materials you're like, I mean, was an awful long time ago, 627 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: and you know, half the chemicals in the marketplace today 628 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: we're in even a pipe dream back then. And you 629 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: know it's working now unless you're having oil leaks, engine performance, 630 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 1: running issues, even if it smokes a little, Who cares 631 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: taking this apart disturbing it? You know, unless you said 632 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: to me, Hey, Ron, I want to start taking this 633 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: truck on a cross country race. Yeah I don't think so, 634 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: I don't. I would be preferred to just nice, gentle, 635 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: little thirty weight viscosity, nondetergent motor oil and kind of 636 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: go from there. But get out de Pens Oil Synthetics 637 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: dot Com. They'll they're eight hundred hot line number will 638 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: be there and you can talk to them and see 639 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: what sort of answer they give you. All Right, sorry 640 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: very much. You're very welcome, Mike, and glad to count 641 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: you among the listenership. Eight five zero nine zero zero. 642 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,719 Speaker 1: I'm ron ading the car doctor. We are back right 643 00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: after this, Hey ranted any of the car doctor. We 644 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: are back, UM real quick to comments. We have the 645 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 1: gentleman before a call up about the catalytic converter. UM 646 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 1: wanted to know if he could drive his car back 647 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,959 Speaker 1: from wherever he is back home to get a fixed. 648 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 1: He's out in Vegas and he wants to go home. 649 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: I think it was to Ohio. The answer to that 650 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: question is, if this is a catalytic converter efficiency fault 651 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: P zero four, Yeah, reasonable chance you can make it 652 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: back home without having to get it repaired out there. 653 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: And I understand that because you want to get home fixed, 654 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: repaired in familiar surroundings people you trust, people you know, 655 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: et cetera, and so on. So as long as that's 656 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: the case, as long as it runs all right, you know, 657 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,479 Speaker 1: my concern is if the cat has mel the down 658 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: and it's creating back pressure, that's going to be a 659 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: performance issue. You don't want to drive a long distance 660 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: like that, so you've got to ask the mechanic what 661 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: failed and how did it failed? Before you make that decision. 662 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: Real quick, let's get to Richard in Middletown, Connecticut, some 663 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: comments on common sense. This ought to be great. Richard, 664 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to the car Doctor, sir, hey Ron, thanks for 665 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: taking my call. Man. This is this is neat because 666 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: last week I tune in in on my radio. It 667 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: happened to come across your show. I came in the 668 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: part where you're talking about common sense with the wheel. 669 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: But shortly thereafter he started talking about a child who 670 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: um the tractor trailer that got stuck under a bridge 671 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: and right lower let the air out of the tires right. Well, 672 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: did you know that that child's father was mechanic? No? 673 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: I did not, and that child is really are you 674 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: kidding me? No? I couldn't believe it when I heard 675 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: on the radio all these years, this is like fifty 676 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: seven years ago. I couldn't believe it. When I heard that, 677 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 1: I thought that was just a foregoing incident. And when 678 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: I heard it, and you brought back so many memories 679 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: to me because I can remember the truck driver, you know, 680 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: I mean, what had happened is he had driven under 681 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: that railroad bridge. I guess a number of times, but 682 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: he didn't realize. I guess that that that they had 683 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,879 Speaker 1: gone and repaved over the road didn't change the height. 684 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: Probably that was posted on the sign back then, and 685 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: that's how he got stuck. Do you remember what year 686 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: that was, Richard? Before the takes us, I tried to 687 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 1: figure it out. I'm still working on it because I 688 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 1: you know, I had blonde hair and blue eyes. Well, listen, 689 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: let's do this. It's gonna take me. When you figure 690 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: it out, you call us back and let us know. 691 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: The listeners want to know, and thanks thanks for being 692 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: part of the car doctor Nation.
