How can I help? Hello? Yes, man, 64 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: nice talking to you you too, How can I help you? Well? 65 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,679 Speaker 1: I have two thousand and four I Saturn Iron I 66 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: I O N yeah. And when I bought it, I 67 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: thought it was going to be a good car because 68 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: my insurance man introduced me to this man that sold 69 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: to me. It was gar a lot anyway, And so 70 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: I drove the car for about two weeks or a week, 71 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: a little bit more than a week, and I rot 72 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: into GM and Bwick dealer and they said that the 73 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: car had a recall and it was never never done 74 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: for the steering. Well, the whole car needed to be done. 75 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: I mean they never never brought the car written anyway. 76 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: GM did nine hundred on the wearing and steering and 77 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: lights and everything. I had to pay eight hundred and 78 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: other things that weren't covered. And I thought the car 79 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 1: was good then, And so I drove it for about 80 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: a month and two months and then started being hard 81 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: to steer lift And so I brought it in a 82 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: week ago and I had a steering They told me 83 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: it was a steering chief. So I got that done 84 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: and it was three three hundred dollars. Anyway, Marilyn, did 85 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: that make any difference in the way the car steered? No, No, 86 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: it wouldn't. Then I drive in again and I was 87 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: telling them and they said that it was the steering column. 88 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: I need a new steering column, and they want something 89 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: do so I said, I think about it. So I'm 90 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: thinking about it, but I don't want to put it 91 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: any more money in. And another thing I'd wrong is 92 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: the light comes on. Um they told me it was 93 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: a break lining light. It comes on after I go 94 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: twenty miles down the road. And that happens every time 95 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: I start my car, I mean every different day when 96 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: I'm going out after twenty miles a light comes on. 97 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: It just stays on, all right, So I don't know 98 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: what that is. Maryl let me ask you a question. 99 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: The Bubick, a GM dealer is working on this, right, okay. 100 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: Has anybody explained to you? And I'm sure you must 101 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: be aware If not, I just want to be sure. 102 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: You know Saturn is an obsolete car, correct, You know 103 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: that the company isn't around anymore and parts are getting 104 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: harder and harder to find for these, all right, So 105 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: you know, if nothing else comes up this phone call, 106 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: I just want to put it on your plate that 107 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: you know, every nickel you spend on this, you're you're 108 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: you're spending towards obsolescence, if you know what I'm saying. 109 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: And there are certain GM you know, products in the 110 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: line that will have you know, similar parts to Saturn, 111 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: But Saturn parts are you know, they're getting tough to locate. Well, 112 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: I think the issue is that the company has been gone. 113 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: I think it's ten years now. Yeah, it's I think 114 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: it was two thousand and eight, two thousand nine when 115 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: Saturn went away. Well, this is in my part of 116 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: the world, so I'm sitting that's ten years um that 117 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: that steering column. There was a campaign and actually a 118 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: recall if I recall as as as far ago as 119 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: May of if I remember right where they extended the 120 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: coverage and the warranty on those vehicles two and fifty 121 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: thousand miles and and I'm not sure if there was 122 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: a time limit, but I I remember the bulletin number. 123 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: If you have a pencil and a piece of paper, 124 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: take a look at GM technical bulletin one oh one 125 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: eighty seven as an apple as an apple, Yes, ma'am. 126 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: And there there could have been a B or a 127 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: C after that. I don't recall seeing one. I just 128 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: remember the bulletin when it came out, and this was 129 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: a very similar problem. The Malibu has had this, and 130 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: some other cars of the G six Pontiac had this problem. 131 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: A lot of the name plates and brands that are 132 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: along gone from General Motors lineup, and I remember them. 133 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: They extended the warranty coverage on the steering column up 134 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: two and fifty thousand miles. How many miles do you 135 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: have on the car? Okay? So I don't remember if 136 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: it mentioned anything about time, and I wouldn't take anybody's 137 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: word for it. I'd i'd ask for a copy of 138 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: that bulletin or recall notice, because I you know, before 139 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: they start changing parts, and let me just explain one 140 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: one thing to you. You know, they changed the bottom 141 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: of the steering column, that the coupling. All right, um, 142 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: take your arm and hold it straight out while you're 143 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: on the phone with me. Turn it to the left, 144 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: turn it to the right. You've got the same shift 145 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: turning in both directions. Why would it turn harder to 146 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: the left and not to the right. Right, Logically, there's there. 147 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: There's there's no mechanical reason your arm wouldn't necessarily turn 148 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: hard to the left but not to the right unless 149 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: you had a I guess if you're a rotator cuff 150 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: had an issue, but it would be pain, but it 151 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: would be it would still turn equally equal force in 152 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: both directions. I've seen steering column couplings or your arms 153 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: sticking out bind get tight, get rusty, but they turn 154 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: equally hard in both directions. For something to have a 155 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: directional problem, it's got to be something related to that direction. 156 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: I agree, this could be a motor issue. This could 157 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: also be tight suspension on one side of the vehicle 158 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: versus the other. There are some factors that play into this. 159 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: So I'm just concerned that these aren't diagnosing NOUS and 160 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,719 Speaker 1: that they're just starting to throw parts at it. And 161 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: that's why I just want to be cautious here. When 162 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: did this come out? That notice? That notice, as I recall, 163 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: was middle of the year in two thousand twelve, So 164 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: that's been out there a while, all right, so they 165 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: should be aware of that. Well, when when I went 166 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: in for the shafts the steering ship, they said that 167 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: my um recall was obsolete because I used it once 168 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: they said it was gone. Well, if that's the case, 169 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: then yes, the recall is only good once from what 170 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: I understand. But can you get clarification on that because 171 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: are they talking about where they changed the motor or 172 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: was it a recall of another nature? Okay? And I 173 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,719 Speaker 1: just I just want to be certain of that, all right. 174 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: And the question I've got that I would have is 175 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: how long ago was the re call done and it 176 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: wasn't done by a dealer? Is it still under warranty? 177 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: Dealer repairs generally are covered twelve months, twelve thousand miles 178 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: in some cases, three years, thirty six thousand miles in 179 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: some cases longer. So well, now I get it. I 180 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, I understand that. Um, you know, and I 181 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: feel bad for you, darling, I really do that. The 182 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: gentleman that said it's gonna be a good car, I'm 183 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: hoping he explained to you that, you know, based on 184 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: its age and based on the fact that it's obsolete, 185 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: getting parts for it and service information for it might 186 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: be a little bit more of a difficult test than 187 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: it's worth dealing with. So you know, before you spend 188 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: any more money on this look. The final question to 189 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: them is gonna be all right, and you're ready. This 190 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: is this is this is my this is my catch roll. 191 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: All right, your Your final question to them is gonna 192 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: be will the steering column repair you due to my 193 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: car fix the problem? Do you get and tee that 194 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: if they stutter, stammer or look at the ground, they're 195 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: not really sure. Okay, and and that's okay, But they 196 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: need to tell you that. They need to tell you that, 197 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: you know, they see this as a first step and 198 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: there might be more. They need to tell you we 199 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: don't know, or they need to tell you yes, this 200 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: will fix the car, and that's what you're looking for. 201 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: At the end of the day. You can't buy a 202 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: new car for twelve bucks. But I was told, well, yeah, 203 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: you know, my point becomes, let's just you know, let's 204 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: just eliminate it. Let's we'll put twelve bucks in it 205 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: if that's gonna fix it. But we're not putting twelve 206 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: bucks in it as a science project because Maryland's got 207 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: better things to do with their money, and it might 208 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: be towards another car. Let's know. How you make out, Maryland. 209 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: I wish I could do more for you.

I don't think. 243 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: I brought it to the people down in Lula, and 244 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: uh it's transmission. Kind of getting your name of the 245 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: but the guys are really really well represented. And I 246 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: talked to this guy Mike down here, and he said, George, 247 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: bring it down. He had done some work from her 248 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: he earlier on a different vehicle of mine. And you know, 249 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: we looked at it, took it for a rice that 250 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: cherish and vehicles a really really beautiful condition for its mileage. 251 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: The car has three and twelve thousand and who knows 252 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: what else? Yeah, change three twelve plus and um, so 253 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: do But do you you know before we ran out 254 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: of time, George, do you have a problem with the 255 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: way the trans shifts or don't you? Well? I did 256 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: have a problem with it until I started using it, 257 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I think it's smoothed out. 258 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: Maybe the car hadn't been used in a while. Okay, 259 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: So I'm just wondering should I change it? Should I 260 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: try to change the transmission fluid? Well, let's let's let's 261 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: let's let's hold on a second. Is the check engine 262 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: light on any dashboard lights on? Um? No, check engine light? 263 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: Check engine light work if you turn the key on 264 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: before you go to crank it. So key on, engine off. 265 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: Does the check engine light light up? Yeah? Okay, so 266 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: that it works in bulb check. So you started up, 267 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: you drive it, It operates, It shifts smoothly. Does the 268 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: trans fluid look like, as far as you know, clean, dirty, good, bad? Well? 269 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: He said, you know, it's got a very very gentle, 270 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: mild smell to it. Uh, you know something questionable, But 271 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: he says, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. 272 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: He says, uh, you know, changing the transmission fluid and 273 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: you don't know how long ago it was done, you 274 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: could you could really take a lot of stuff with 275 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: the walls of the container. Well, and he's he's absolutely 276 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: right there, Georgian. And here's the deal. Trans fluid by 277 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: design is a very high detergent, high scrubbing action type 278 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: of fluid. So if the trans fluid hasn't been changed 279 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: in a long time, changing it and putting in fresh 280 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: could activate and and and wipe some of the varnish 281 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: and shellac and crud off the walls and put it 282 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: down into the pan. But the problem is that three 283 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: twelve thousand miles, I guess the question becomes, would you 284 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: put a trans in it? If the trans failed tomorrow? 285 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: Simply by age, would you put a trans in it? 286 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: If the answer is yes, regardless of of whether or 287 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: not you change the fluid, then I say change the 288 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: fluid because at three and twelve thousand miles it wouldn't 289 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: be unreasonable to need a trans and a transmission replacement 290 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: is definitely and obviously cheaper than you know, putting buying 291 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: a new truck, all right, whether you bought a used 292 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: truck or a new truck, UM, do this. Call your 293 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: trans guy, get a price on on an overhaul trans 294 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: find out how much it is Jersey prices. If I 295 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: were to guess, you're probably three thousand dollars. If it 296 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: was three thousand dollars, three thousand is better than thirty. 297 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: Three thousand is better than ten. If the rest of 298 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: the truck is in that good of condition and it's 299 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: not showing any rust, and it's it's it's operating normally 300 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: and there are no other issues, I say change it 301 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: because changing it may work in your benefit. It may 302 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: actually promote the life of the transmission and you won't 303 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: have to put a transmission in it. Trans Fluid is 304 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: a funny thing. It It tends to go until it's 305 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: just completely worn out and then it wipes out the unit. 306 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: And my feeling is, I'm not waiting for trans fluid 307 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: the turn color. I'm changing it based on my leg 308 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: and time. If I have any question, if it's borderline 309 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: me personally, I usually roll the dice and I can 310 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: say to date, knock wood hasn't bit me yet because 311 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: my feeling is I'd rather have clean, fresh fluid in 312 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: there and know that it works rather than wonder and 313 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: where's the truck going to break down and where's it 314 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: gonna stop working? So change the fluid. Talk to your guy, 315 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: change it mindful of Yeah, maybe, but at least you know, 316 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: and you'll be aware of it for the next thirty 317 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: to sixty days.

Let's talk a little bit 336 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: about you know, fuel system right, this is your life, 337 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: right Dan um uh differences, Let's get down to brass tacks, 338 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: the differences between g d I gasoline direct injection versus 339 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: port fuel injection systems. Right, they've they've they've changed, and 340 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: there's differences in how we how we clean them or 341 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: is there not? What's your story? So, the primary difference 342 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: between UH port fuel injection or p f I and 343 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: g d I is the location of the fuel injectors. 344 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: In p f I and in TB I engines, the 345 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: fuel injectors are placed upstream from the intake valves, either 346 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: inside the intake ports or at the throttle body. Both 347 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: configurations allow the fuel spray to clean the intake valves 348 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: with gasoline direct injection or g d I fuel injectors, 349 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: though these injectors actually inside the combustion chamber. Now, that 350 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: means that the intake valves are never actually washed by 351 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: the fuel. The configuration is more fuel efficient, but the 352 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: tradeoff results in the accumulation of carbon and oil vapor 353 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: on the back of the intake valves and that can 354 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: lead to hard starting, rough vital hesitation, and poor fuel economy. Well, 355 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: all the good stuff that world to avoid. So you 356 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: know what's the best way? Then? How do you maintain 357 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: a g d I fuel system? You can you use 358 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: the same methods or is there something different from what 359 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: we would be doing on poort fuel? Yes and no. 360 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: So both types of engines use the same air intake 361 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: system for the most part, so your mass airflow sensor 362 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: and your throttle bodies are the same with the g 363 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: d I fuel injectors being inside the combustion chamber. Though, 364 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: there are only two real ways to clean the intake valves, 365 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: and that's either disassembling the top of the engine or 366 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: introducing a clean air into the air stream. Okay um, 367 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,239 Speaker 1: I've I've heard the story about blasting intake valves with 368 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: walnut shells, but are are is that really effective? I mean, 369 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: it's not really What's the word I'm looking for? Is it? 370 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: Is it? Is it time effective? In a sense? Tearing 371 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: down an engine to do that, well, if there were 372 00:20:54,560 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: no viable alternative, But you do have the option of 373 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: introducing a suitable cleaner into the air stream, and we 374 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: spent over a year developing the chemistry to clean the 375 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: intake valves and developing the delivery method so you don't 376 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: have to tear down the top of the engine. And 377 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: some of these engines are still under warranty by the 378 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,239 Speaker 1: time you have build up, and so it's important not 379 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: to have to tear them down, which is going to 380 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: be at your own expense, right, and never and never 381 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,479 Speaker 1: mind the time constraint, right to do that because nothing's 382 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: nothing's Everything takes longer than you think, and it's way 383 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: more complicated than you imagine. Absolutely. Yeah, um, so tell 384 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: me a little bit about the fourth step process. So 385 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: the fourth step Air and Fuel System maintenance kit that's 386 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: our part number has a mass air flow sensor cleaner, 387 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: an air intake and throttle body cleaner, a fuel system 388 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: cleaner that goes into the gas tank, and of course 389 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: our intake valve and combusting chamber cleaner which works in 390 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: all types of fuel injection engines. It's not just a 391 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: g d I, it's p f I and and throttle 392 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: body injection two. UM. Yeah, as a matter of fact, 393 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: I kind of sneak before we did this interview, and 394 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: I actually lived at the Barriman website. Is there a 395 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: video for the fourth step process? Dan, There is a video, 396 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: so there's a link to it on on the product 397 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: page on the website. But also if you look at 398 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: the packaging itself, there's a QR code that links to 399 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: a video that shows you step by step all four 400 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: UM application of all four products and it's it's it's 401 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: it sounds a little daunting when you think about it, 402 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: but just watch the video. You see how easy it 403 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: is really to apply the entire kid. Yeah, we've we've 404 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: actually used the kit in the shop. UM and it 405 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 1: is very easy. It's actually and it's very UM. I 406 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: get a sense that it's very surgical. It's it's very 407 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: accurate and what it's it's trying to do now. Berryman 408 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: also offers a portion of that four step kit just 409 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: the intake, valve and combustion chamber cleaner. Is there a 410 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: reason why you're trying to isolate those particular areas of 411 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: the engine, because some g d I engines have these 412 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: deposit build ups so fast, and we're talking sometimes in 413 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen thousand miles. Uh, you might not need 414 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: to apply the entire kit. You might just need to 415 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: focus on the intake valves only. The other side of 416 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: it is, uh, some vehicles develop carbon build up in 417 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:43,239 Speaker 1: the combustion chambers surprisingly fast, and you might need to 418 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: just address the carbon build up. And you can use 419 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: the same product our intake valve and combustion chamber cleaner 420 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: to tackle both issues. But the standalone product actually cleans 421 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: more than just the intake valves right right, So it'll 422 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: do intake valves and any type of fuel injected engine 423 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: p f I and g d I, as well as 424 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: the combustion chambers. So it'll clean the top of the 425 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: piston crown and everything inside the combustion chamber. Wow. Interesting, 426 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: it's like you're you're really attacking it, like your your 427 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: your death, your death, the carbon den So you're the guy, Um, 428 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: what do you do with high mileage? Though? You know 429 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: a lot of cars today seventy five thousand miles are 430 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: just getting started and there's so many cars out there 431 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: with over a thousand miles. Um, are there editors and 432 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: chemicals to work on those systems or there edits and 433 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: chemicals to help those cars go further but more efficiently. 434 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: There are, So we offer our Rejuvenator line, which includes 435 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: the B sixty High Mileage Fuel System Rejuvenator and the 436 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: B sixty High Mileage Oil System Rejuvenator. We also offer 437 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: a couple of different oil additives, one of them as 438 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: an engine oil extender and the other is our oil 439 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: change flush. Now, my experience has been as an asside 440 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: that oil actually comes into the maintenance of a g 441 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: d I engine because poor oil quality can lead to 442 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 1: ring issues, which let's the oil get up on top 443 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: of the piston and can lead the carbon build up. Correct, Yes, yeah, 444 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: I can. So, so the the oil extenders and the 445 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: UM oil enhancers, I guess maybe there's a as a word. 446 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: Is that a fair word? UM can can really do 447 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: the engine a lot of good in the long run. Right, So, 448 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: in service, the engine oil extender is designed to reset 449 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: the clock on the oil about halfway through your oil 450 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: service intervals. So UH, with a conventional oil, say around 451 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: two thousand miles, you add a can of this to 452 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: your engine oil and UH and you reset the clock 453 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: so you can go another you know, three thousand uh 454 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: to maybe five thousand miles, depending on the cleanliness of 455 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 1: the engine. With a full synthetic engine oil, you would 456 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: add the products around three to four thousand miles and 457 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: then take it out to your typical seven or eight 458 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: thousand miles. And what it does is it replenishes all 459 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 1: of the additives that that the engine oil comes with. Right, 460 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: So it has detergents and dispersings, antiware additives, and friction 461 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: modifiers and and and oil and all of the editors 462 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: I assume, which is a bad word, um, are compatible 463 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: with conventional synthetic gas diesel engines right across the board. Yeah, 464 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: that's correct. So we we actually use the same ingredients 465 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: that you find in engine oils. So these are the 466 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: same types of detergents and dispersings, for instance, that you're 467 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: going to find in your your engine oil that's on 468 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 1: the shelf right now, got you, um, just out of 469 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: curiosity real quick because we're coming to the end. Um, 470 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: you know what brought you in this direction, you know, 471 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 1: to to create these detergents. And this person's um, Uh, 472 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: is it safety? Is it reliability? Is it efficiency? Is 473 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: it all of that? Well, it's all of it. But 474 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: there's there's a need out there. Like you mentioned, there 475 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: are so many cars that have over seventy or a 476 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand miles and they need a little 477 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: extra love now compared to when they were driven off 478 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: the lots. We we want to be able to address 479 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,479 Speaker 1: the issues and keep these cars on the road. And 480 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 1: and and you're in a sense you're actually cleaning the 481 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: crank case, cleaning the sledge, getting rid of it before 482 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: it becomes more constrictive. And in the long run, you're 483 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: actually helping prevent carbon deposits and you're helping keep the 484 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: fuel system clean. So it's a win win. Yeah, you're 485 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: you're tacking it from from the bottom side of the 486 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: engine as opposed to the top side. But absolutely. Yeah. 487 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: Interesting then I always learned so much when I talk 488 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 1: to you. Guys are just so much fun. Um. I 489 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: gotta get you to come back and we'll do this 490 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: again real soon. Now, where can the listeners go for 491 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: more information? I go to our website at www dot 492 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: Berriman Products with an s dot com.

What's really there? And it's just fuel is 503 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: an ever changing, ongoing uh issue in in in the 504 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: automotive world today and as well as others. And it's 505 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: you've always got to be on the end edge of 506 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: your game, and and and and folks like Dan and 507 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: Barriman Moore at Barriman Products dot com, you know, can 508 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: really explain what's what and why? You know, why why 509 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: do we make this emissions change because of this fuel 510 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,479 Speaker 1: system change? Why would we make this requirement? Uh go 511 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: up in in terms of length of time because of 512 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: this fuel system requirement. It changes on a regular basis. 513 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: So let's get over and talk to Bill and Wisconsin 514 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: back to the phones and talk to him. Twelve Lincoln 515 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: MK X, Hey Bill, how can I help? Yeah? Taking 516 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: my call? Uh, Yeah, my Lincoln seems to have a 517 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: shuttering off the line up to starting around twenty miles 518 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: is when it goes away as a shuttering in the 519 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: front end, and it seems to be worse under load, 520 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: maybe going up a slight incline. So kind of having 521 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: trouble diagnosing it. The dealer doesn't seem to figure out. 522 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: How do they experience it? Um. They always tell us, well, 523 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a wheel balance issue, so it just 524 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: balanced the wheels and it seems to help, but touch, 525 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: but then it just comes back again. They don't I 526 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: yet to get back there again for maybe the third 527 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: fourth time to ask if they've actually experienced it. Okay, 528 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: so so let me ask Let me let me ask 529 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: you this bill. Is it? Is it that? It's it's 530 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: if you're if you're cruising along at twenty five, you 531 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: definitely feel it. I will feel it if you lean 532 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: into it a little harder. Is it worse? Um? Not necessarily, 533 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: it'll go away after my speed picks up. So it's 534 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: it's more rotational. It's more if you were to pop 535 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: in a neutral of twenty eight miles an hour rolling downhill, 536 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: you would feel this shutter. Um. Possibly it's it seems 537 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: worse underload going up and inclined is you know, I 538 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: could really get it to shutter really hard about ties 539 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: and up a hill of a consistent speed. Yeah. So 540 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: if it's a shutter, mostly here, here's how we're gonna 541 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: break it down, all right, And I want you to 542 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: try this and then call me back next week. All right. 543 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: If if it's a shutter uphill underload, then and there 544 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: is no shutter rolling downhill is slighted, you know, slight 545 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: inclined miles an hour and it's not there. It's not 546 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: tires and balance vehicle tires and tires and and wheels 547 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,719 Speaker 1: don't know if they're rolling uphill or downhill, twenty eight 548 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: miles an hour is still twenty eight miles an hour 549 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: of them. It doesn't change, all right. So if it's there, 550 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: if it's a load related issue and it's not speed related, 551 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: then we've got to have a talk about transmission. And 552 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: you knew the ugly word was gonna come into this, right, Um, 553 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: we've got to have a conversation with regard to maybe 554 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: drive axles, maybe engine mounts. All right, now, you know, 555 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: less snake in the pile and I've seen stranger things. 556 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: As a result, I would also want to know is 557 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: the vehicle updated as far as all its software, trans controller, 558 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: engine controller are all the are all the drive train 559 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: modules updated in software? Um, just because I've I've seen 560 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: some things like this get resolved by that if the 561 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: manufacturer can find a solution for it. But do that 562 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: uphill downhill? When does it happen? Be specific and call 563 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: me back next week and I can. I can take 564 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: you down the road, but it's if it's only uphill 565 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: underload balancing the tires all day long? Is the're gonna 566 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: make a difference?
