1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: Ron and Nian. They do it so bad it takes

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: five and a half months, and they develop a customer

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: that will never go back there and put another stink

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: on a business that well, it sort of smells like

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: New Jersey at low tide, and I can say that

6
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: I live in New Jersey. The Car Doctor. I'm really

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: surprised at what's in this industry. You think it's getting better,

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: and then you see a vehicle like this and you

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: say wine. Welcome to the radio home of Ron and

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: Anian the Car Doctor, since this is where car owners

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: the world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: the phone and call in. The garage doors are open,

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: but I am here to take your calls. At eight

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: five and now he running. All I could think about

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: last night, lying in bed getting ready for this radio

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: show was that line from Animal House at the end

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: when Stephen first sits there at the end with the

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: parade and he's going, oh boy, this is great. And

20
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: that's really how I feel about today's show. Hello and

21
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: welcome Ronaldini and the Car Doctor. Nine zero. You know

22
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: all that you're a regular listener. You're new, welcome, glad

23
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: to have you, and I'm rushing because I want to

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: get right into it today. Two cars. First time in

25
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: a while we've had two cars like this at the

26
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: shop that just absolutely epitomized what it takes to fix

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: cars in this industry and also what's wrong with this industry.

28
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: First car two thousand eight Hunda Unda two sons V

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: six that had a whining noise for three years. Poor

30
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: little old lady driving it was, as she said, just

31
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: out of her mind. She couldn't take it anymore. She

32
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: had been everywhere, everybody had looked at it, done everything

33
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: to it, tried everything. The list is long and frustrating.

34
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: The deal or put a timing belt in it didn't

35
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: fix it. She still had to pay for the timing belt.

36
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: They told her it would fix it, but it did not,

37
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: and she laid out a good bunch of money for

38
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: something that didn't solve her problem. Another repair shop took

39
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: a look at it. They took a stab at it.

40
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: They hung an alternator on it. Yet another repair shop

41
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: took a stab at it, hung a power steering pump

42
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 1: on it. One repair shop came close in the sense

43
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: of a diagnostic routine. They washed out the power steering

44
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: reservoir because there's a bulletin from Hunday that talks about

45
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: if they have any kind of moan or wine or

46
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: externally loud noise related to power steering or related to

47
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: engine operation, perhaps the power steering reservoirs restricted making that noise.

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: None of them fixed the car. Car showed up on

49
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: my doorstep, ended up at Ariotomotive this past Monday, and um,

50
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: Harry was who's helping me at the shop, took it

51
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 1: in and Um, after assuring them that I could fix

52
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: anything from this car to that car to a Boeing

53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: seven forty seven, as Harry likes to do, I felt

54
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: the pressure was on, so I better come up with

55
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: a solution. I looked at the customer and I said, well,

56
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: did anybody ever take the belt off as part of

57
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: their diagnosis? And she looked at me and she said

58
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: why would they do that? And I said, well, let

59
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: me just just leave the car. Wrote her up for

60
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: a one fifty diagnosis, and the way I went. First

61
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: thing I did, Yeah, I verify the complaint. Yeah, the

62
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: car has a all the time, took the serrup belt off.

63
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: The serpent team belt, the one belt that drives everything. Alternator,

64
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: power steering, air conditioning. Guess what the noise is gone? Well,

65
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: now we're down to it's either the power steering pump,

66
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: the alternator, or the air condition er. This wasn't too

67
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: hard to figure out. Two other shops had replaced the

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: alternator in the power steering pump. That left me with

69
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: the air condition or. Okay, there was a tension or

70
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: an attention or pulley, and that sounded absolutely perfectly fine,

71
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: and you'd spin everything and everything was nice and quiet.

72
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: It sounded like this, and then when you spun the

73
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: air conditioning compressor it sounded like this. That kind of

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: hurts my throat when I do that. I don't think

75
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: I can do that anymore. Guess what you need? An

76
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: A C compressor and an A C compressor and a

77
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: thousand dollars later, guess what Your car is fixed? But

78
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: why did the other shop try to take the belt

79
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: off first? Why did they just start changing parts? And

80
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: why did the dealership put a timing belt on it?

81
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: And how come nobody could figure this out? And you know,

82
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: I've been driving this car for three years and I

83
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: felt like Bill Cosby in that clip where he says,

84
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: oh yeah, and I've heard it before. Then another car

85
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: came into the shop, a Toyota yards. This was a

86
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: no start, no crank, no start, did nothing, turned the key,

87
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: nothing happens, dashlights lit up. They and it's a sad

88
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: story in a sense because the young man that owns

89
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: it's an e M T in the next town over.

90
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Nice young man, and he was trying to install flashers.

91
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: He's an emergency medical technician. He was trying to make

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: his headlights flash and the event of an emergency call,

93
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: and in the process of working on it, they got

94
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: an emergency call. So he started the car, moved it

95
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: over so they could get the ambulance out, and came

96
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: back from the service called the emergency call and our

97
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: later I went to start the car and it wouldn't start.

98
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: No crank, no start, no click, no nothing. They took

99
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: it to a repair shop in town there and they

100
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: were told because we have to snap on virus and

101
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: we can diagnose anything, that we've diagnosed your car that

102
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: it has a bad a mobilizer key, the key for

103
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: the mobilizer which cuts off the injection if the wrong

104
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: key is inserted, sort of an anti theft measure and

105
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: it has a P sixteen O four fault, a mobilizer

106
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: key not recognized, so it either needs a key or

107
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: you blew up the computer, kid, because you were wiring

108
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: in the lights while you were trying to work on

109
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: it with the key on and the engine off. So

110
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: it ended up on my doorstep because this nice young

111
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: man's mother knows what I do, and she knew I

112
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: could fix it, and I have to tell you, I

113
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: wasn't quite sure what I could do, but I said, gee,

114
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: I can't do any worse. And um, you know, someone

115
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: once told me, you can't make it any more broken.

116
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: It's already broken. You can only go up from there.

117
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 1: So I took on the challenge of this Toyota yards

118
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: that everybody had sort of had their hands in, and

119
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: I wasn't disappointed. When I lifted the hood, there was

120
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: spaghetti every where. There were wires everywhere under the hood

121
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: of this car, and kind of rattled me a little

122
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: bit down to my shoes. But as my boss way

123
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: back when in the gas station always told me, he said,

124
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: you know, you always started diagnosis at the beginning. You

125
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: always begin at step one, regardless, that's what you're gonna

126
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: be trained to do, and that's what I was trained

127
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: to do. So I went through and I did the

128
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: usual in this case, in this twenty Toyota. I scanned

129
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: it for codes. It had a piece sixteen o four

130
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: a mobilizer key circuit or a mobilizer key not recognized.

131
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: And I also went through and checked battery voltage. Standing

132
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: battery voltage was nine point five vaults under ten. Let

133
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: me tell you why that's so important. In case you're

134
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: wondering what I'm ranting about. All car computers need voltage,

135
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: no mystery there there's a minimum at which they will

136
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: shut off and and and start to do funny things. Well,

137
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: this one, for whatever reason, because of his wiring job,

138
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: perhaps he left lights on when he went out on

139
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: the emergency call. Whatever it was under ten vaults on

140
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: a Toyota, especially on this yard, a PCM won't be

141
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: able to turn on the starter. And when I thought

142
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: about it, I said, wait a minute, this isn't an

143
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: a mobilizer problem, because on a Toyota, on this particular car,

144
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: it's not inn a mobilizer fault. If the engine doesn't crank,

145
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: it will crank. It won't start because the injectors have

146
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: been shut off, and I realized that I had been

147
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: partially led astray by listening to another shops diagnosis, thinking that, yeah,

148
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: it's a mobilizer, and I realized very quickly, no, it's not.

149
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: This is a traditional won't crank, it won't start diagnosis. Gee,

150
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: why won't that happen? Started going through the starter circuit.

151
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: The starters solioid on this particular car is energized through

152
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: a fused out to the PCM down to the starter.

153
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: Looked at the fuse. There's a row of fuses underneath

154
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: the underhood fuse block in this particular Toyota. There's ten fuses,

155
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: or there's ten slots in the underhood fuse block one

156
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: through ten, of which eight are used, and they're all there.

157
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: And the thirty amp I wanted in position nine. Yep,

158
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: that thirty amp is good. Wait a minute, that's not

159
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: in position nine. That's in position ten. There's nothing in

160
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: position ten. How could the fuse get up and walk?

161
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: How could I go from this spot to that spot? Oh,

162
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: it can't be this easy. Took the fuse out of

163
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: position ten that I just installed it back in and

164
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: then realized it was wrong, and put it in position nine. Now,

165
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: I had been charging the battery in the meantime, knowing

166
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: that sooner or later this car was going to require

167
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: a battery with voltage. And imagine the surprise on my

168
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: face when I got in, turned the key and the

169
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: car started right up. You see, the bottom line becomes

170
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: that not everything is as it appears, but everything needs

171
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: to be diagnosed from a good basic starting point. And

172
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: it's not the scan tool that fixes the car. The

173
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: repair shop that brought a snap on virus that you

174
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: know snap On says, anybody can use this tool fix

175
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: the car. You can spend ten grands, you can spend

176
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: two grand I used the launch scan tool bucks. Guess what,

177
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: I still fixed the car. And it's because I was

178
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: trained properly. It's because I was educated properly, because I

179
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: applied that education. And I think I've earned the right

180
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: to say that that it's not the scan tool that

181
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: makes the mechanic. It's the mechanic that makes the scan tool.

182
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: And in the case of the Hyundai with the wine,

183
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: remember the that's just common sense, you know, why wouldn't

184
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: you take the belt off if if you're chasing a

185
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: noise that's coming from the belt area. Why wouldn't you

186
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: break it down into its simplest component, Because isn't that

187
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: what a diagnosis is. Aren't you supposed to break something

188
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: down to as small a level as possible and find

189
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: out how that component works and if indeed that component

190
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: is working properly. So remember this when you go into

191
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: your repair shop and you say, hey, can you fix

192
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: my car? Yeah? And it's not about hey, I've got

193
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: this one scan tool that does everything. The right question

194
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: is a are you smart enough to come in out

195
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: of the rain, because I think that's probably a tough

196
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: question for a lot of people in the world today.

197
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: And the second is how many scan tools do you own?

198
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: Because owning just one doesn't make it anymore. Hello and

199
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: welcome Rod Andandy and the car Doctor. The phone numbers

200
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: eight five five five zero nine nine zero zero. We

201
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: have a packed two hour show today, we really do.

202
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to uh, We're gonna talk to Jerry

203
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: Asta Lucky from Gibbs. We've got an email here from

204
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: a listener from Anthony out in Chicago. Our friend Anthony Emilio,

205
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: the retired Chicago p D who I think we're turning

206
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: him onto car doctor products. He wrote a nice letter

207
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: to the folks that gives about his vinyl garage door

208
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: in sighting and how Gibbs works on that. We want

209
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: to talk to Jerry about that, and it's always nice

210
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: to talk to Jerry up there Michigan Way. He always

211
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: tries to convince us that Gibbs makes peanut butter and

212
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: jelly sandwiches taste better, but um, in reality, it's a

213
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: great penetrant and a great lubricant. We just want to

214
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: talk to him about that, and we're also gonna be

215
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: talking to I think it's Hugh Grant, I think is

216
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: a gentleman's name from Drew Technologies in the second hour

217
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: about j flashing and all that that's about and how

218
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: the average any repair shop can reflash the local computers. Today.

219
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: It's not a special realized a task as it once

220
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: used to be, and Drew Technologies is helping make it better.

221
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: And we also reached out to Harlan Siegel. How can

222
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: I not talk to Harlan Siegel from Launch this week,

223
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: especially after the Toyota Yards, but more importantly some conversation.

224
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: We've gotten more than a few emails about Launch scan tools.

225
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: Consumers looking for them and some of the perks, and

226
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: we thought we would talk to Harlan one on one

227
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: as we get ready. As he getting ready he's going

228
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: to seem in a couple of weeks and you can

229
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: talk about new products and features and things like that.

230
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: So it's a scan tool O B D two Gibbs,

231
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: answer your questions, emails, phone call, car doctor kind of

232
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: show today, and that's just what we're gonna do. I'm

233
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: running any in the Car Doctor and I will be

234
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: back right after this and we'll kick the garage stores

235
00:11:42,679 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: out of my head. More likely Runninny in the car

236
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: doctor here as we talk about cars this week. It

237
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: was really um just just so amazing on that rus.

238
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: I still think about that car to go with the

239
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: fuse and it started, and then the part that the

240
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: owner said to me, he goes, but how could a

241
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: fuse keep the car from starting? And I had to

242
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: explain to him. I took him a little under my

243
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: wing and yeah, I know, Tom's looking at me and

244
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: he's saying, come on, really, I'm like, yeah, you know

245
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: the problem is that nobody mentors young kids today. And

246
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: it was funny he had taken and I know we

247
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: have calls I'll get to them a minute. One second.

248
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for if you're on hold. Um. He had

249
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: taken coils of wire to put the headlights. He wanted

250
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: to make his headlights flash, and he wrapped it around

251
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: in coils on various parts of the car. And I said,

252
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, if you're not careful, you're gonna make a

253
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: giant electromagnet. If you wrap the coils of wire around

254
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: the steel and then pass voltage through it, at some point,

255
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna magnetize something and on a computer car in

256
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: the wrong situation. And he's like, really, that will make

257
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: a magnet. And I'm thinking, didn't you take tenth grade science?

258
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: He goes, oh yeah, I go what did they teach you?

259
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: He goes, not that. I mean, gee whiz, I remember

260
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: tenth grade science. We were learning about electro magnets and

261
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: all sorts of neat things and all high school is

262
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: probably still reeling from the time I put the two

263
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: chemicals together. They said don't mix these two and I went, oh,

264
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: you mean like this, and uh smoked out the place.

265
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: But that's I don't know. I don't know what they're

266
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: teaching kids in school today. But uh, you know what

267
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: you still gotta you need to be very smart to

268
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: be a mechanic. I think to be good at it.

269
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm not saying I am. I'm just saying

270
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: I follow procedure and that's the most important thing. Let's

271
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: get over and talk to Eric online one. Let's kick

272
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: the garage doors open. Enough about me today and see

273
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: what's going on here with his pontiac vibe. Eric. Welcome

274
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: to the car doctor, sir. How can I help you?

275
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: And thanks for calling in from Racine, Wisconsin. Hi Rod, Yeah, um,

276
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: I was listening to your story. You're talking about the

277
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: gentleman that was in love with his zuzu. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

278
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: and you're telling him that, you know, sometimes it's time

279
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: to get rid of a car when you can't get

280
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: parts for it anymore. And um, I got to thinking

281
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: about my vibe. It's probably been one of the best

282
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: view clothes I've ever had. Um. It still looks like

283
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: it came off the showroom floor, the paint flawless. Um,

284
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: it's got eighty thousand miles on it. I've done nothing

285
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: but maintenance and breaks on it. And I'm thinking about

286
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: spending five on tires for the winter. But you got

287
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: me thinking should I do that? Is it time to

288
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: get rid of the car? Because it's a Pontiac and

289
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: you know they don't make Pontiacs anymore. Well, you know

290
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: they don't make Pontiacs anymore. But you know, I think

291
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: the other side of that is that you know that

292
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: really came from Toyota as well. Isn't there a Toyota

293
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: version of the vibe? Isn't it the matrix? Think? Um?

294
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: Is that is that the car? Yes, that's the car

295
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of. I would say, no, it's not time

296
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: to get rid of it. It's it's it's it's good

297
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: to consider it. Here's why it's not time to get

298
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: rid of it. You can still get parts in some

299
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: form or another for that vehicle the as Suzu. Did

300
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: you hear the whole comment about the Assuzu. I wasn't

301
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: making that up. If you want to purchase parts for

302
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: in a Suzu from a Suzu, not only do you

303
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: have to go down there and pay cash. At least

304
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: that's the way it works around our neck of the woods.

305
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: You have to go down there and pay cash, okay,

306
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: but you have to wait for the parts to show up,

307
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: and if they never show up, Oh well, if the

308
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: parts show up and they're wrong, Oh well, if the

309
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: parts show up and they don't work, oh well, and

310
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: if the parts show up and they go bad in

311
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: two months, oh well order some more. So you know, yeah,

312
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: you know right it just listen, Why don't we just

313
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, why don't we put a Suzu in in

314
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: charge of the government, because they would probably just as

315
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: efficient as running that business as well. Uh, you know,

316
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: the Pontiac is is a much different animal. There are

317
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: parts available for it. I wouldn't get rid of the

318
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: Pontiac for that reason. I'll tell you the one reason

319
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: why I would get rid of a Pontiac vibe. I'm

320
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: not picking on you. I'm just as long as we're

321
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: being one on one here today. Right, it's okay? Is

322
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: how do you how do you clean that back window?

323
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: Isn't that the car with the back window that the

324
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: with the glass? Am I thinking of the right Pontiac?

325
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: Doesn't that have the crazy backhatch that the glass is

326
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: just really it's always dirty. You can't keep that back

327
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: window clean, can you? Oh? But it lifts up and

328
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: it's really nice because you can pop up just the

329
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: window by itself. Here's well, here's the most I have

330
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: no problem with that. All right, Well, if you can

331
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: get past that, then I say keep it um, because

332
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: you know what, You're not gonna get a whole lot

333
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: for it. And if all that car needs to get

334
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: through the winter is tires, then frankly, you know what

335
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: You've done your maintenance, You've done your due diligence. Spend

336
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: five let the car. Let the clock start counting. If

337
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: you get two months out of the car, that paid

338
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: for the tires right there, Because to fifty a month

339
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: is an easy car payment, and anything after that is gravy.

340
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: But if the engine failed, if the engine failed tomorrow,

341
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: then I probably hold off and think about, you know,

342
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: replacing the vehicle. That's not that's not something I think

343
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: is practical, unfortunately, and I guess it's a sign of

344
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: the times. When I started this radio show twenty five

345
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: years ago, the expression was it's cheaper to keep her. Today,

346
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: it's cheaper to keep her as long as you can

347
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: get parts for it. The company hasn't gone out of business,

348
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: the car hasn't been recalled, and the people manufacturing the

349
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: car originally still manufactured parts for it. Somewhere on this

350
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: side of this part of the planet. And that really

351
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: is how I look at it. I'm still waiting on

352
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: that airbag recall they have had for two years and

353
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: they don't have a fix for it yet. Well, listen,

354
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: don't hold your breath. I just finally real quick, and

355
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna go. We had an O two and

356
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: Cherokee at the shop since and I don't like to

357
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: do dates on radio because sometimes we play these shows

358
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: back at other times we've had to show the car

359
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: in the shops in September two. It needs an air

360
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: bag module. It's under air bag recall from Chrysler since March.

361
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: Cute little old lady. We want to do it for

362
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: and we want to send it out to the dealer

363
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: for so she doesn't get sold the world. So the

364
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: service writer can't buy long furniture on his commission. And

365
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: not only is the part not available, they haven't even

366
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: assigned a part number two it yet, so remains to

367
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: be seen. Eric. I appreciate the call you call us

395
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: an email from Anthony Emilio. He's our retired Chicago p

396
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: D listener out in park Ridge, Illinois way, and he wrote, Hey,

397
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: I heard about your product on the car doctor Ron

398
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: and any and this is a copy of what he

399
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: sent to the folks over at Gibbs. I heard a

400
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: six cans on the net. Well, I found a new

401
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: use for Gibbs my vinyl garage door and siding. The

402
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: installer said to use w D forty, but gives works

403
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: much better. And my garage is protected and it looks great.

404
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: It's my all around protector and lubricant. If only the

405
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: government works so well. Thanks Anthony Emilia, park Ridge, Illinois.

406
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: And you know what, it just kind of jostled my

407
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: brain a little bit. I said, I haven't talked to Jerry,

408
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: uncle Jerry as we call him here, but Jerome Masta

409
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: Lucky as his Facebook given name is, and that we've

410
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: got him on the line with us to talk to

411
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: him about Gibbs and all sorts of things. Jerry is

412
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: always good for a good time. Mr Rosta Lecky, how

Speaker 1: are you today, sir? I'm fine right. How about yourself.

414
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: Oh'm not bad at all. How's things out Detroit Way?

415
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: I think we're starting to get a change of seasons here, Yeah,

416
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: a little cold. Yeah. Did you did you happen to

417
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: go to the Woodward Cruise this year? Yes? I did, sir.

418
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: How was it one of my must have dues every year? Yeah?

419
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: I was? It excellent as always. It's mind boggling. Yeah.

420
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: If it's got wheels and rolls, you'll see it there. Yeah,

421
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: so I imagine. So and uh were you out? Were

422
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: you out in the middle of the boulevard handing out

423
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 1: cans of Gibbs to everybody? I would have loved to,

424
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: but unfortunately I don't have your kind of money. Well

425
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: there you go. You know, listen, if I if I

426
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: had your money, i'd throw mine away. Uh, tell me

427
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: about Gibbs, Jerry. You know it's it's tell the tale

428
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: here for the listeners that are new to it, Where

429
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: did Gibbs come from? And just what exactly is it?

430
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: It started out a guy named Paul Gibbs came up

431
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: with this formula back number of years ago, and he

432
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: had it a little two ounce drip bottles And the

433
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: problem being is he couldn't find a aerosol can valve

434
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: that would contain the product, so they put it in

435
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: aerosol canon By got it with leak up. So after

436
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: a much research trial and there they came up with

437
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: an aerosol valve on a can that would contain the

438
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: product and they started making it available in twelve ounce

439
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: are saw cans and it comes into twelve ounce case

440
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: and you can use it on anything. I um and

441
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: when we say anything like for example, you know, everybody

442
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: thinks this is an automotive sell so sure, there's tons

443
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 1: of automotive applications, but it was. It was fascinating. It works.

444
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: They use it on guns. It's it's one of the

445
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: biggest things they use it on is taking care of weapons. Correct, Yes,

446
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: that is uh. In fact, there was a large shipment

447
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: of m Gibbs that went to Iraq through a distribute,

448
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: a military supply company. They wanted it out into Iraqs.

449
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: I provided them with a substantial amount of gifts to

450
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: send out to the troops and keep everything running good.

451
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: Now what one of the things that it will not

452
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: do is catch fuzz bunnies and dust up and whatnot,

453
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: so it doesn't come up when you get in a

454
00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: harsh environment. You know, it's quite quite the item. Also,

455
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: it's good for fishing gear. It's around the house. Uh.

456
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: One of my first uses, they had a sliding glass

457
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: um shower door in our bathroom and it was really sticky,

458
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: and I first applied some gibbs to it, and I

459
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: forgot to tell my wife and she put her whole

460
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: hundred two pounds behind it and him near drove the

461
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: glass door through the wall. So now every time I

462
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: give something, I have to tell her, Hey, I put

463
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: some gibs on and watch out. You know, it's gonna

464
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: open and close pretty easy. And like my daughter now

465
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: her kids, she won't put gibbs on their door door

466
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: hinges on her bedrooms because she wants to hear them

467
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: when they try to sneak out at night. Well, I

468
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: can understand. You go get the refrigerator, you know, get

469
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: back on the computer. Right, I could. I could understand that.

470
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: You know. One of my favorite uses for gibbs is

471
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: spraying it on aluminum pieces like intake manifolds, and how

472
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: it preserves them and keeps them looking fresh. Yeah, that

473
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: it does. Also it's very good for bare metal surfaces. Uh,

474
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: it will prevent the fingerprints that you get on it

475
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: from touching it, when your oils from your skin get

476
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: out into the metal. A new supply chain that I've

477
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: gotten involved in is people that do media blasting on

478
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: vehicle bodies. Uh. They quote the car down with Gibbs

479
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: immediately after the blasting and it consider it the shop

480
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: no matter how long before the owner picks it up

481
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: and takes it over for his paint on the next

482
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: step in the process and pain well, because you know,

483
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: one of the things I've I've learned with Gibbs is

484
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of lubricants and we can mention, but

485
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: I've experienced with w D forty and some of the

486
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: other things out there, they spray on their lubricant. But

487
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: the one thing with Gibbs is there's a cling property

488
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: to it. Correct it'll, it'll, it'll. It gets into the

489
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: porosity of the metal and and and stays there. It

490
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: doesn't wash off like everything else does. Am I correct? Correct?

491
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: You're hard percent correct? It Uh is molecularly absorbed into

492
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: the material and becomes one with the surface. And that's

493
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: one of its strengths. And you can paint over it,

494
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: which you know that raises a lot of eyebrows. But

495
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: I have had parts that I've painted in two thousand

496
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: and three that are still looking like they just came.

497
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: I just painted them underhood bracketry and things for the

498
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: different cars. But again, you want to do your metal

499
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: prep as per your painting instruction. Yeah, I mean I

500
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't say to you, Ron, spray your part with gibbs

501
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: and then with the next breath say, Ron, grab your

502
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: rattle can and give it a coat of glass black,

503
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: because that's not gonna happen. Right, that's not gonna work.

504
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: You know, a set and set up, good choice from time,

505
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: wipe it down, keep it dust free, do your attack rag,

506
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of days later, and go at it.

507
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: You know, in the ten twelve years you and I

508
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: have been talking back and forth on radio, I always

509
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: go back in my mind when we have these conversations

510
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: to the snow plows. You know, I have a snowplow.

511
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: I plowed the truck, I plow the shop with the

512
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: big plow truck, and I plow the house. Because you know,

513
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: it's just I just I don't have time to do

514
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: anything else. But um, I want to keep my stuff

515
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: open in the snow and I've been gibbs ng. Is

516
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: that a word I've been gives protecting give us size. Yeah,

517
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: I've been doing it gives a size um to the

518
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,959
Speaker 1: snow plow ever since. And you know what, the thing

519
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: still looks brand new because it doesn't rust. And I

520
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: think it kind of you know, It's funny when I

521
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: go out for coffee and this is what generates I

522
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: start thinking of you because I'll be there at the

523
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: at the coffee shop and you know, there's seven plow

524
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: guys and everybody's got a plow on it. It's rusty, corroded,

525
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: falling off, beat up, and here I pull in with

526
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: this plow that's ten years old. It looks you know,

527
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: it's all shiny red that it gets brand new and

528
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, look a new guy. And I've been

529
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: doing this a while. I just you know, it gives

530
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: my plow and they look at me, they go, you

531
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: do what I give us my plow. It's the snow

532
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 1: falls off easier. But um, you know, neither a lot

533
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: of people that use it under writing words to undercoat

534
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: their deck sat their deck, and then when they need

535
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: to get out the clumps and things that tend to

536
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: accumulate under your more deck. Just take the host to

537
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: it and it's gone. Cuts down on their maintenance time. Hey, listen,

538
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: By the way, I apologize, I think it was your

539
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: birthday recently, wasn't it? Am? I corrected? I see that. Yeah,

540
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: that was another one on another, another notch on the belt,

541
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: another trip around the planet. But you're still but you're

542
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: not sure. You're not that old of a guy. You

543
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: still have a hot rod, right of course? Yeah, tell

544
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: me that my facts and equipped sixty six must stay

545
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: and you'll probably never get rid of that. Right, that's

546
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: the car. That's the baby. I've searched far and wide

547
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: for that car, and when I found it, I've been

548
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: to other states. I've been all over the country looking

549
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: for that stink silly car, and as luck would have it,

550
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: guess what I found in the in the town too

551
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: too over from me. Yeah. That's always the way it works,

552
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: isn't it. It's always the way it works. Hey, listen.

553
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: Since you got it in the garage, I got it

554
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: in the stable and that's where it's staying. Yeah, listen,

555
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: you're you're so good at finding cars. If you if

556
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: you happen to stumble across a seventy two Chevy Monte Carlo.

557
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: I've got my eye out for one, so you keep

558
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,320

Speaker 1: Get gives, Get Gibbs dot com. Always a pleasure. I'm

581
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: ronning any in the car doctor. I'll be back right

582
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: after this. Welcome back. We're of the car doctor, rolling

583
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: along at eight five zero nine nine zero zero. Let's

584
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: get over and talk to Bob. And then you went

585
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: in New York two thousand seven Matrix. Hey Bob, how

586
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: are you, sir? Good? How can I help you? Well?

587
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: I had a problem with my CD player in my Matrix.

588
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: It was jammed on me. So what I did is

589
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: removed it from you know, the car played the jam,

590
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: put it back in the A M F M. The radio.

591
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: Everything will work. But when I go to push where

592
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: it says disc, it will not read disc. I was

593
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: just wondering if there's a code or anything that there's

594
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: no there's no coding for that. And if the radio

595
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: is working, then I would say the problem is internal

596
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: in the tape deck unit itself. Let me just ask

597
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: you two quick questions. Bob, does the dome light still work? Uh? Yeah?

598
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: And inside the cost, yes, as far as I know, Yeah, okay, okay,

599
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: and the cigarette lighter still works right well, yeah, because

600
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: I use it for you know, utilities here, right, So,

601
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: because those those are the only two fuses involved in

602
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: that circuit for those components, and one of them is radio,

603
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: one of them is c D. I don't remember a

604
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: fan which goes which way, But if both of those

605
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: are working, then we can safely say that it has

606
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: power where you could verify ground for the CD, but

607
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: it's all part and parcel of that same component plug

608
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: for the radio. So unless you missed something, something's not

609
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,959
Speaker 1: plugged in. Provided all power grounds and components are plugged

610
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: in properly, I would say it's an internal failure of

611
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: the CD player. So what what you're gonna have to

612
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: do is I would either tell you to go online

613
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: or stop by your local Toyota dealer and ask them

614
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: where do they send out their stereos and electronics to

615
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: be repaired, and you can you can send it out

616
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: and have it overhauled for I'm gonna say two or less,

617
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: depending on power. It's broken. As an educated guest, you

618
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: don't want to go and try and purchase that new

619
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: I've I've learned the hard way over the years that

620
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: factory radios are frightfully expensive. But you know there are

621
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: there are usually repair facilities that the dealers the manufacturers

622
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: are are using to repair their stuff. Right, So what

623
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: what what it does? Is it in? Otherwise I'll push,

624
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: I'll push you know, checked okay, and it will come

625
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: back and tell me you know that it's empty. Right.

626
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: So then when I push load, you know, it'll it'll

627
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: blink okay, and then it will shoot back over to

628
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: the radio. Right. Yeah, So it's not it's not seeing

629
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: maybe the radio is not seeing the CD player. So

630
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: at that point, like I said, verify, you've got everything

631
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: plugged in. Verify that the dome light the cigarette lighter

632
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: both worked because they are on that fuse for that

633
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: particular componentry And at that point then it sounds like

634
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: an internal component failure, and you've got to get the

635
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: CD player checked out and verified, and you may want

636
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: to send them the radio to just to see that

637
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: the problem isn't in the radio, since one talks to

638
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: the other in order to give information back and forth,

639
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: so they can they can work together and get the

640
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: sound out. So I appreciate the call Bob, and good

641
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: hearing from you up there in Nanuet, New York. A

642
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: five zero nine zero zero. I'm ron ading in the

643
00:32:48,280 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: car doctor, and I'm back right after this. What okids tonight?

644
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: I got to feel something, right, I'm so scared kids,

645
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: I phone off my yeavery, Hey, welcome back running the

646
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: car doctor. A quick piece of uh well, actually, I

647
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: don't know if this is email or a newspaper article.

648
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: You know, I like to review the things that you

649
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: send into me. Uh here, and we talked about it

650
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: up on air. This comes to us again from Tony

651
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: Emilio out in Park Ridge, Illinois, a retired Chicago p DE.

652
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: And UM, I like mentioning that I like, um, you

653
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: know what I like to because then I get to say,

654
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: you know what, Thank you Tony for your service and

655
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: for all the boys and girls and blue out there

656
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: for all they do to protect us and keep us

657
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: safe on the highways. Um. And speaking of highways, Tony's

658
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: article from the Chicago Tribune a couple of weeks ago,

659
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: is it talks about mischief on the highway. All those

660
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: country songs about lying, cheating spouses and honest, dependable pickup

661
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: trucks may need to be revised. It turns out you

662
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: can't trust your right either. Last week, Ford recalled thirty

663
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: seven thousand new F one fifties because they may slam

664
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: on the brakes for no reason. The problem is a

665
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: glitch in the high tech cruise control of fancy form

666
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: of automatic pilot that detects slower cars in the front

667
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 1: and reacts the F one fifties get confused when passing large,

668
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: highly reflective trucks and think there's an obstacle in the

669
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: lane head. I'm not laughing because I think it's funny.

670
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, it's what I've been saying all along,

671
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: and Tony included that in a note. He said, Ron,

672
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 1: it's exactly as you say. It's a computer on wheels.

673
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: Um one accident has been attributed to the phenomenon blame

674
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 1: unreliable software, which Ford said it can fix. And as

675
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: this article points out, and I agree with it, the

676
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: biggest reason we're thinking about computing power rather than horsepower

677
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: now is it's probably because of the Volkswagen scandal. Let's

678
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,479
Speaker 1: face it, Volkswagen kind of opened our eyes. It was funny.

679
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: I had a conversation this week with a couple of

680
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: German engineers for another company that makes fuel cells, and

681
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: they're telling me, how, uh you know what four GM

682
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: and Chrysts are all do the same thing as Volkswagen.

683
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: They had just haven't been caught yet. Yeah. Well, I

684
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: think four g M and Christ have been under the

685
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 1: microscope enough that by now they would have been caught.

686
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: And um, you know what, you gotta face up to it.

687
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,959
Speaker 1: Volkswagen got cut. But the point of this article going

688
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: back to that is just it's the software. And it

689
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: appropriately points out that the New York Times recently stated

690
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: that a new high end car, and we've said this before,

691
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: contains one hundred million lines of computing code, and that

692
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: there are fifty million lines of computing code in the

693
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: hay Drawn collider, you know, the atom smasher. So you know,

694
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: stop and think about that. Something that's trying to find

695
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: the the origins of the universe only has fifty million

696
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: lines of code, whereas the device that you get in

697
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: sid and go down the Starbucks for a cup of

698
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: coffee and has a hundred million lines of code. You

699
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: know what, they haven't been able to figure out the

700
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: origin of the universe. It's a it's a blessing. Cars

701
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: run at all when you stop to think about the

702
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: obstacles and the technology that's in front of him. So yeah,

703
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: that's just crazy. Hey, this hour of the Car Doctor,

704
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: I can tell by looking at the Great Favogue, is

705
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: just about over. There's another hour to come on many

706
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: of these affiliates. If you happen to take it. We're

707
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: gonna be talking to the folks from Drew Technologies and Launch,

708
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: So you want to stick around for that until the

709
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 1: next time I'm running ening the Car Doctor. The mechanics

710
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
