32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir, thank you. It's a pleasure to We did.

33
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: Our famous car crews to see the colors on the

34
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: Loose Hills in Iowa, which is east of the Missouri River,

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: north of Interstate eighty. We did two hundred miles and

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: had about fifty to sixty cars and we never got

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 3: on the interstate. And I drove my thirty eight on

38
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: it and she ran good. I put brand new radio

39
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: tires on it this summer. I had the old bias

40
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: on them for thirty years.

41
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: Wow.

42
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: And that made it drive a lot nicer. But the

43
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: wind is an irritation because my sector is so bad. Yeah,

44
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 3: I need to put a whole new steering sector in.

45
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: But I don't, you know, it's you know, it's.

46
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: Funny I think about it. The difference between old cars

47
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: and you know, older cars and newer cars is driving

48
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: that thirty eight Deluxe. Can you imagine driving that thirty

49
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: eight Chevy Deluxe cross country back in the day? Right, right?

50
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: I know it's kind of funny, right, you know, you

51
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: think about it. How long would it take? And you

52
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: know is that a two week ride? What's top speed

53
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: on that thirty eight Deluxe? Bill?

54
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: Well, we drove it to California in night teen sixty

55
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: five to Long Beach. I had a sister that was

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 3: teaching school, right, and me and another buddy drove that

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 3: the route sixty six and come into Pasadonia down by

58
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: San Diego. And what makes me appreciate the car is

59
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: I drove those Palats roads in La where that fire

60
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: was is and I drove that car on those roads

61
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: on the weekends just for Bordom, right, And I can't

62
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: imagine them people that are going through that. It's just

63
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: an unimaginable How long did it take you?

64
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: How long did it take you to drive from Iowa

65
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: to California back in the.

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: Day, Well, we drove about seventy sixty. We drove about

67
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 3: eighty miles a day, and we stopped at a college

68
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: friend in New Mexico and then went on up through.

69
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: It took us two nights and three days. Yeah, is

70
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: what it took to get there.

71
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: What's top speed on that thirty eighth J Well?

72
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: Okay, I had two to one barrel Rochester carburetors on

73
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: it on an end to take an aluminum intake manifold,

74
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: and I got Corvette headers on it, and we cruised

75
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: that sucker at seventy mile an hour back there on

76
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: Route sixty six, and we still had some to go

77
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: because them two carburetors made that unimaginable. Because it was

78
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: a two thirty five sixth cylinder Chevrolet fifty six. That's

79
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: the motor that's still in it today. I just run

80
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 3: one carburetor on it today because it's just simpler. I'm

81
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: a simple, simple, old part. I'm going to be eighty

82
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: one in twenty twenty five.

83
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: Hey, you know what simple as good look? You ever

84
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 2: look inside? You know to me, older cars are supposed

85
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: to be very mechanical. You ever look inside my my

86
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: fifty five Chevy, my hot rod as I call it.

87
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: It's all mechanical, its original gauges, it's original up there's

88
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: very little modern stuff in it. You know, it's still

89
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: a sickle four barrel carburetor. You know, it's probably got

90
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: headers and aluminum heads and a few other things we

91
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 2: won't talk about. But the idea is, you know, to me,

92
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: older cars are really supposed to be mechanical and and

93
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: that's that's the fun part about it, you know, and

94
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: you get the tinker and you get to adjust. And

95
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: the only problem is, back in sixty five, when you

96
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: drove that thirty eight to California, if it broke down,

97
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: you could probably somewhere on the side of the road

98
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: get parts or fix it out of a out of

99
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: a toolbox. Today there's just there's nothing readily available anywhere nobody.

100
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: You know. Could you imagine walking into a major parts

101
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: store chain and you know, you need a fan belt

102
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: for your for your thirty eight Chevy Deluxe with a

103
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: hot rotted engine in it, And the first question they're

104
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: gonna ask you is your make model an engine? And

105
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: you're gonna laugh at them, Well, it's a thirty eight Chevy,

106
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: you know, it's a thirty eight Chevy with a fifty

107
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: six Corvette engine or a fifty three fifty four Corvette engine.

108
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: And if they're gonna look at you like what you know,

109
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 2: they're they're they're they're gonna be lost.

110
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: So the most technology that I've got in this car

111
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: today is we eliminated the floor starter that was in

112
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 3: those original cars. And I have a chrome push button

113
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 3: under the day and that starts my vehicle because we

114
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: got a wired twelve volts and runs the regular Chevrolet

115
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: starter on it with the you know Dell Co starter

116
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 3: with the with the everything, the most technologies in that car,

117
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: and that's a lot.

118
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: Listen, a little puss button to have a push button,

119
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: to have a push button start in the thirties is

120
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,559
Speaker 2: a lot of technology. You know, when the twenties cars

121
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: were still hand crank.

122
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: And oh yeah, see this hasn't had a four starter

123
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 3: in it. Right my side the accelerator, you could run

124
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: your foot on the button, pushed down on it and

125
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: it would accivate the manual starter and then you was

126
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: right there with your your foot to accelerate the increase.

127
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: You know, you think about I'll close with this thought,

128
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: I wonder, I look at older cars and I think

129
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: what it took to drive them physically. So now we've

130
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: created cars that you can do literally one hundred miles

131
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: an hour down the road with the air conditioning on.

132
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: And I'm not advocating anybody do this, but you can

133
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: right one finger on the wheel, just coasting along. Now

134
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: we've created all these cars that cost one hundred thousand

135
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: dollars to do that, and then we spend all this money.

136
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: Then we spend all this money to go to a

137
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: gym to get into shape. Whereas if you if everybody

138
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: drove older cars without power steering and power brakes, we'd

139
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: all be in shape because the muscles you needed to

140
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: turn steering wheels and move gear shift levers in the

141
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: coordination factor, nobody would have time to talk on a

142
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: phone if we were driving an older car. You know,

143
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: it's just just a very different way.

144
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: I got air conditioning in this. You realize my air

145
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: conditioner is a little lover that opens in front of

146
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: the windshield before the herd starts. Yep, yeah, three position, yep,

147
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: that's my air conditioning.

148
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

149
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: We used to call that five and fifty five inches

150
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: fifty miles an hour, and uh, you know that's that's

151
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: how it worked. Yeah, So Bill, always a pleasure, sir.

152
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 3: Hey, Yeah, it was nice measuring with you. I've called

153
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: you so many years and I got your number. We'll

154
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: keep in touch and I appreciate your program every week.

155
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir, Thank you, sir. You'll be well. I

156
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: appreciate you old cars. I was gonna tell Bill the story.

157
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: Anybody know where anybody know where the electric starter actually

158
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: came from. It was in the twenties and all cars

159
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: were hand crank and somebody so the guy who designed

160
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: the electric starter did so because his best friend hand

161
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: cranked his car, broke his arm right because the engine

162
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: kicked back, and the fella, and the way the story goes,

163
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: the fella died in a hospital a couple of days

164
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: later from a blood infection, and the gentleman that designed

165
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: the electric starter felt that nobody should have to go

166
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: through that, so he created the electric starter and it

167
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: revolutionized the industry. Can you imagine the biggest news out

168
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: of Detroit in the late twenties early thirties was your

169
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: car will have an electric starter on it. And that

170
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: was a big deal. That was a very big deal.

171
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: So just technology sure has come a long way. We're

172
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: not going to see thirty eight Chevy technology anytime soon.

173
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: Eight five five, five six zero nine nine zero zero

174
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: should point out that is the twenty four to seven

194
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 2: Hey, let's get over and talk to Mike and Iowa Gee,

195
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: I was coming in real strong today. Some questions on

196
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: a tract retire Mike. Welcome to the car doctor, Sir

197
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: how can I help good after?

198
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 4: You know? Ron, Yes, sir, glad to talk to you.

199
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 4: You me too, Yeah, I would listening to that guy

200
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 4: with that thirty eight. My brother and I had a

201
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 4: thirty eight Master Deluxe many years ago.

202
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: Oh, that's funny. So there were two in Iowa.

203
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, geez, where did I switch over to Cords Mustang?

204
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 4: So I'm a Mustang guy, but cool? I have to

205
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 4: John DearS and I have several John there two cylinders.

206
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 4: I show them, and also you in my field and

207
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 4: so forth. But anyway, I have one, got a front tire,

208
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 4: got a slow leaks and the only leaks really slow

209
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 4: in the winter time, summertime. It doesn't seem to go down, okay,

210
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 4: And I know it's now hidden of the day it's down,

211
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 4: and I pumped it up. It takes about a month

212
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 4: for it to kind of go down leak pressure and

213
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 4: only in the cold. So what's that product you guys

214
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 4: are talking about here? I think a week or two ago.

215
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 4: That's that's I don't know, wetter than than soap, because

216
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 4: I use soap and water. It does have a tube.

217
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 4: I've had it apart, but I cannot find that leak well,

218
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 4: cried the valves them.

219
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: If if you take that tube out and stick it

220
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: in a water tank, there's no leak.

221
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 4: That's correct.

222
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: So that's I got to tell you, that's that's odd.

223
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, uh, I would pay very special attention

224
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: even though you put a core in it. You know

225
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 2: where the valve stem is. I'm going to pay very

226
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 2: special attention to the core. The stuff I was talking

227
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: about is a product available from a company called tech Tire,

228
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 2: and it's it's I call it soapy soap, but it

229
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: it magnifies air leaks and creates soap bubbles one hundred

230
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: times to that of what you would normally see. So

231
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 2: it's just more than just it's just more than soapy water.

232
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: But you know, let's face it, in a tube. You know,

233
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: if I put if I inflated that tube with air

234
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: and stuck it in the bathtub, for lack of a

235
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: better way to do it, don't do it when mama's home.

236
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: He's working on that tractor. Again. I can tell it's

237
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: in the bathroom. You know, maybe you'll see maybe you'll

238
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: see bubbles there.

239
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 4: You know.

240
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: I like a water tank that you know, a water

241
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: tank tells me all it's to me it's the only

242
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: thing that doesn't lie. You know, it's it's real. It's

243
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: always going to give you accurate information. But I would

244
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: pay special attention to the valve seat to see, you know,

245
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 2: could deceit be hammered such that you know when it's

246
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 2: cold it's going to be contracted and allows a small leak.

247
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 2: There's also a product from Berryman. Go out to the

248
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 2: Berremanproducts dot com website. There's a and I haven't used

249
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: it in a while. It's this funny looking stuff in

250
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: a pink bottle. I can't think of any way to

251
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: describe it. And what it does is it will. It

252
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 2: will screw on to the end of the tire valve

253
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: stem and it coats the inside of the tire in

254
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: the wheel with like a ceilerdge. It self seals you

255
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: roll it around and it creates this sort of a

256
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: liquid membrane. I don't know that it works in tubes.

257
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: I'd have to read the bottle in the instructions, but

258
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: it's worth a shot to see and that might seal

259
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: the whole thing from the inside. But let me ask

260
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: you this question. If it's a tubed tire, why don't

261
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: we just try a different tube.

262
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 4: That's what I was going to say. I'm out ready

263
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 4: just to put a new tube in it. Right, they're

264
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 4: probably forty bucks or something like that. Right, that's what

265
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 4: I just said. What I called you, I thought, well,

266
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 4: I just put a new tube in it because I've

267
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 4: tried the new core and I just can't find this leak,

268
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 4: no bubbling and water, right, And I just thought, well

269
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 4: it just.

270
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, just it just might be easier, you know, for

271
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: that for that matter of fact. But that's that is

272
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: a good one. I enjoy things like that. That's what

273
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: we call. That tire tube is gonna be good for

274
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: the summer swing right when you go swimming. Uh, you know,

275
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: so you just wanted to talk to me, I understand.

276
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, that's true. That third eight brought old memories.

277
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 4: And I couldn't win to a Mustang. I'm a Mustang guy,

278
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 4: and I got several of those and so but yeah,

279
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 4: I enjoyed listening to your show.

280
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir for having well, thank you, sir. You

281
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: know that's what old cars do. Old cars generate memories.

282
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: It's funny. I've never had anybody call me up and say, boy,

283
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: that guy was talking about his twenty eighteen Toyota. I

284
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: had one of those. You know, it's always the older car.

285
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: It's always that, you know, I had this Mustang in

286
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: high school, I had this thirty eight Chevy. I drove

287
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: across country. It was always the great adventures that that

288
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: cars be got. I think, And I have a fifty

289
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: fifty five and I have a seventy two Money Carlo,

290
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: and you know.

291
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 4: It's I had. My first car was a fifty sixty

292
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 4: two door post sixty five three speed on the tree.

293
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: Stuff just stuff just takes your breath away.

294
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, of course, of course I kind of destroyed

295
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 4: that well.

296
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: But you know what hot rotting the age I grew

297
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: up in, and I often think about this, you know,

298
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 2: where are the mechanics of today? Where are the technicians

299
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: of today? And they're out there. It's just a different breed,

300
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: it's a different animal. It It boggles my mind when

301
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: I start talking to a new tech and we start

302
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: talking about fuel systems and we bring up carburetors and

303
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: they've never seen one, uh, you know, and I can't imagine.

304
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: I just it's just so foreign to me. But you know,

305
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: I was fortunate in my generation. We were fortunate I

306
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: think we came up with just the right time. We

307
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: We came at the tail end of the muscle car

308
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: era and everything was mechanical. And I think I still

309
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: think to be a good technician, you need to have

310
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: a good mechanical background. That's the foundation that a lot

311
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: of them missed today, because it teaches you common sense,

312
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: and it does. It will teach common sense, It will

313
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: bring out the thought process, It will bring out a

314
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: diagnostic routine, which so many of the texts today need.

315
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 2: You know, I consider it a personal obligation now as

316
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: I'm you know, I'm older and I'm not going anywhere,

317
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 2: but you know, I want to impart some of what

318
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: I've learned and uh, you know to this next generation

319
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: because it will help them.

320
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't teach anymore. They used to shop and mechanic classes.

321
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 4: So these have all kinds of stuff to learn, basics

322
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: about cars, about wood work. Right, you got rid all

323
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 4: of that here twenty years ago.

324
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: You know what I you know what I think about, Mike,

325
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: I think about I think about the military. How does

326
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: the military make a good soldier a good a good

327
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: military you know, how do they because they groom them,

328
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 2: they teach them the basics, all right. And it may

329
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 2: not be anything related to shooting a gun. It may

330
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 2: be waking up on time, dressing on time, washing on time,

331
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: shaving on time, brushing teeth. You know the basics, right,

332
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: And I think with mechanics, yeah, they need the basics.

333
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: They need they need the basics, They need the discipline,

334
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 2: they need the regimentation, because that's what auto repair is

335
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: all about. It's doing the same thing on a consistent basis.

336
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: You know, I'll never forget my friend already already's gone

337
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: fifteen years now, when he once said to me, we

338
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 2: talked about bowling bowling. Already was a bowling officionado, and

339
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: he said to me, you know how to bowl a

340
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: perfect game? He said, you do the same thing every frame,

341
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 2: ten frames in a row, and you'll be perfect. And

342
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: I said, yeah, it's like fixing cars. You do the

343
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 2: same thing every time and you'll be perfect. He goes, yeah,

344
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 2: you just got to transfer that over to order repair

345
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: and not bold. So I never forgot that. It was

346
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: very very sharp words of wisdom. Mike, A pleasure. I

347
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,159

Speaker 2: I help?

366
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: Hey?

367
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 6: Ron, thanks for checking my college. Yeah, sir, really nothing

368
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 6: to do with a car. It's a car dealership kind

369
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 6: of a legal question. When I bring my car in

370
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 6: for service, they unclogged the dash cam. Okay, have you

371
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 6: ever heard of that? Or is it legal?

372
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 2: Even I'm not a lawyer, Tom, So, I don't know

373
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: what the legality of it is. I do it. Also,

374
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why I do it, all right. I

375
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: don't like dash cams. I don't like dash cams. I

376
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: don't like vehicle tracking devices that you plug into the

377
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: OBD two port. And I'll tell you why, all right.

378
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 2: And I think it's a great question. I think it's

379
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: something that should that you know, nobody's ever addressed or

380
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 2: brought up to me in all the years on radio

381
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 2: now now thirty four that we're talking about this. I

382
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: don't like cameras in the shop. I'm concern where's that

383
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: information going. I don't need anybody to know what I

384
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: have in the shop. It's none of their business. As

385
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: Mom would say, you know, I also don't know if

386
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: the cameras recording audio. Imagine I'm on a private phone

387
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: call and somebody's recording at least a half they can hear.

388
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: Is that an invasion of my privacy?

389
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 4: You know?

390
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 2: So that's an issue. You know, I would ask you,

391
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 2: why do you want a camera in the dealership? What

392
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 2: are you worried about?

393
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 6: It's not that per se. A matter of fact, one time,

394
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 6: when I was coming out of there, someone cut off

395
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 6: in front of me. I missed them by inches, and

396
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 6: I'm thinking, thank god, I have a camera and I

397
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 6: went to look at it and it's still unplugged. They

398
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 6: didn't even plug.

399
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 3: It back in.

400
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 2: See, that's a mistake. That's wrong. That that that should

401
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: be done. We'll do that, you know. The other thing.

402
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,239
Speaker 2: The other thing I like to do is see now

403
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 2: that's a valid point to me. The other thing I

404
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: will do all so is if there's you know, there's

405
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: variations on it out there from the phone company, from

406
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: insurance companies. The dongle that plugs into the OBD two ports,

407
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 2: so the insurance company or the phone company can relay

408
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 2: it to the insurance company and tell them what your

409
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: driving habits are. Imagine, imagine the mechanic you know, gets

410
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 2: the car and the complaint says car has lack of power. Well,

411
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: one of the tests I do is something called volumetric efficiency,

412
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: where from a ten mile an hour roll, I will

413
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: put the foot my foot all the way to the

414
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 2: floor to a heart acceleration up until about sixty sixty

415
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 2: five miles an hour a hard pull. Could you imagine

416
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: if your insurance company is used to seeing you around

417
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 2: town doing thirty thirty five miles an hour, and I

418
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: go out to the highway and floor it, and you know,

419
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: you know, all of a sudden, they're like, geez, what's

420
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 2: what's what's going on with Tommy's driving like a wild man?

421
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 7: Uh?

422
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 2: You know, maybe that's so. You know, it's all this

423
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: stuff is good up to a point, but it becomes

424
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 2: comme if if you feel the need to track your mechanic,

425
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 2: you know, for whatever reason, oh maybe it's the wrong mechanic.

426
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 8: I think.

427
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of things a good repair

428
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: shop can do to display and show trust back and forth.

429
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: And I think if you feel compelled that you have

430
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: to track them, you know, that's a that's an issue.

431
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: By the same token, I think if they unplug it

432
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 2: when it comes in, they should have the courtesy to

433
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: plug it back in. But you see, maybe I'm old

434
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 2: school tom To me, that's just common sense. We will

435
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 2: take note of radio station presets. We will take note

436
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: of where the driver's seat is. You know, sometimes we

437
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: get a four foot ten mom come in, drops her

438
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: car off. I'm five foot ten. You know, the seat's

439
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 2: got to come way back, and you know, and the

440
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: reason I will try to put the seat back approximately

441
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 2: if I can't put it exact, if it's not a

442
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: memorized setting is because then inevitably they come back into

443
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 2: the office and I'm off doing something else, and I'll

444
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: have to go out there to just the seat for him.

445
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: Because a lot of people don't know where the power

446
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 2: seat button is anymore. You know that happens, and you know,

447
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: if it's one if it's one driver, you know, they're

448
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 2: they're just used to getting in the car and going.

449
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: They set the seat, they set the mirrors, and it's

450
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 2: so I agree with you one hundred percent common courtesy.

451
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 2: Plug the camera back in. I don't think it needs

452
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: to be plugged in when it's inside the shop. I

453
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 2: think that's you know, I think that's an invasion of

454
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: privacy for a lot of reasons. I don't know what

455
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: the legality of it is, but I just I just

456
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 2: don't condone it. So, you know, I don't know if

457
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 2: that I don't know.

458
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: If that helps our answers.

459
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 6: I can't find Bill Handle on the lot anymore. In

460
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 6: the radio, Yeah, I you know I would remember him, but.

461
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: Oh sure, yeah, you know I would. I would maybe,

462
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 2: And I think I think the answer is going to

463
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: be what's Massachusetts law? Because I think it's going to

464
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 2: vary by state, you know, I think it's I think

465
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: it's the same thing. You know, New Jersey is a

466
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: I think a New Jersey you can record a phone

467
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 2: call without anybody knowing it. But in New York both

468
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: parties have to know or something like that. It's a

469
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 2: whole and I don't want to don't don't send me

470
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 2: emails on this, folks. I'm just telling you as an example. Uh,

471
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's it's every state as different, is

472
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 2: my point. So, you know, just just something to be

473
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: aware of, all right, kiddo.

474
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 4: Ye, thank you, You're very.

475
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 2: Welcome, sir. Happy to have you, and thank you for

476
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 2: the question. Yeah, I want to repair is tough, and

477
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: you know, and by the same token, you know, if

478
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 2: you want to see a video of how I fix cars,

479
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: get out to my YouTube channel. All right, you know

480
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: it's it's and then the other side of that is,

481
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 2: you know, and I didn't I didn't talk to him

482
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 2: about this. But sometimes we're looking at a particular weird

483
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: operating characteristic of a vehicle, and sometimes those dongles that

484
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 2: go into OBD two diagnostic port can have an effect

485
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: on how the vehicle operates, because that was never meant

486
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 2: to be a tracking device, so you know that affects operation. Anyway,

487
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: Let's wander over real quick. Let's get started, and then

488
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 2: we'll take a break and probably come back. Let's go

489
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 2: to Bruce in Virginia. Oh, one Honda Odyssey. Bruce, what's

490
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: going on?

491
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 3: Hey?

492
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 8: Ron?

493
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: How are you okay? Sir? How can I help?

494
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, it took a couple of weeks ago. You

495
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 8: send me a book. I just want I got the book.

496
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 8: I appreciate it.

497
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: Oh, you're very welcome. You're very welcome, and.

498
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I just want to give you an update.

499
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 8: You said called, like, yeah, do you remember I called?

500
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 8: I wouldn't call off and I tried many places you

501
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 8: couldn't get fixed. So I decided to, you know, just

502
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 8: use it once in a while, like, uh, because I

503
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 8: had the money and I didn't have any money to

504
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 8: fix it. Sure, yeah, I was gonna bet Uh you

505
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 8: know that the day I talked to you a couple

506
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 8: of weeks ago. I want to because I started to

507
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 8: call every two three days. A couple of days go bad,

508
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 8: it won't die, So I want to start a car.

509
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 8: It was completely dead. Nothing would click or like that.

510
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 8: So at that time I met the de C and

511
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 8: I said, that's it. I'm done with this car. Every

512
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 8: time I fixed something something else going on. So I

513
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 8: haven't done because I had the money and I'm kind

514
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 8: of unemployed, fixed income persecute.

515
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 2: Right, So what's the end result, kiddo? I need, I

516
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: need a question. What's the end result?

517
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I just want to see. I just want to

518
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 8: I'm going to take it to a metal place and

519
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 8: get it of it because I spend all my money

520
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 8: and energy in that one. And I can't because recently

521
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 8: I was I lead in my car for what I

522
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 8: recently moved to this place by the government housing. I

523
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 8: can't even focus in my fixing a place. Who you know,

524
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 8: uh nothing. I just spent all my money and energy

525
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 8: in the car. I just I just wonder what you think.

526
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 8: I just want to get it off the car and

527
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 8: save them.

528
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think if you're at the point

529
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 2: where you're putting more money, good money after bed and

530
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 2: if I remember right, this is a higher mileage, you know,

531
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: almost twenty five year old odyssey. Uh you know, I

532
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: think if you're at the point where you're spending more

533
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: more money on the vehicle than you can afford. And

534
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 2: if it's just one endless problem after the next, then yeah,

535
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: replacing it and setting up a budget. You know, at

536
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 2: least now in this modern age, we have uber and

537
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: we have other ways to get around, and then working

538
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: towards a replacement vehicle, I think you're better off with that.

539
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 2: As much of a struggle as that might be. You'll

540
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: still have expense, but it'll be fixed expense on a

541
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 2: regular basis. If you plan your day right and you

542
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 2: go through a proper routine. I think that's a better

543
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 2: way to approach it, because sometimes if a vehicle becomes,

544
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 2: you know, an endless stream and it's overwhelming, I think

545
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 2: getting out of it is better off than trying to

546
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 2: stay in it. Good luck to you, Bruce. I appreciate

547
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 2: the call, and I hope all things work out for you.

548
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 2: God bless. I'm running any in the card doctor. I'll

549
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: be back right after this. Hey, running hard, running late,

550
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 2: running Anie in the card doctor. Let's get some of

551
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 2: these done. Jim Virginia three expedition, what's going on?

552
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 7: Rollan?

553
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 9: The reason I'm calling is my expedition has that two

554
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 9: hundred and twenty two thousand miles on it just great, yep,

555
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 9: And I'm getting a chattering noise from the front of

556
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 9: the engine. And I've talked to a couple of mechanics

557
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 9: and they tell me it's the timing chain, and one

558
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 9: guy says it's the timing chain guides. So my question

559
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 9: is how serious is this problem and exactly what are

560
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 9: the guides?

561
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: Okay five four or four to six? Which engine?

562
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 9: It's the four six?

563
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 2: Okay four six, So you know, first of all, I mean,

564
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 2: has anybody tried to diagnose this before we go down

565
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: the path of what it could have should have? All right?

566
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 2: You know, take the serpentine belt off. If you start

567
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: it without the belt on, does it still make the noise?

568
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 9: One guy did check that, and he also checked the

569
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 9: tightener for the belt, and it still kept making the noise.

570
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: So without the belt, without the belt on, the on

571
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: the engine. He started it without the belt on the engine,

572
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: and it still makes the noise.

573
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 9: No, he did not take the belt off. Okay, all

574
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 9: he did was all he did was take the the

575
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 9: tightener and take that out of the out of the

576
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 9: picture and start the engine.

577
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know how he would take it out

578
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: of the picture if he didn't take the belt off.

579
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 2: My point is, there's four or five rotating objects, right,

580
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: power steering pump, ac compressor, belt, idler pretension or idler

581
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: water pump. Why why wouldn't we just take the belt off.

582
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: It'll take fifteen minutes start it up. If it still

583
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: makes the noise, we know we've eliminated five things.

584
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 9: Well, all he did was he took a screwdriver or

585
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 9: something and just release that from tightening the belt up

586
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 9: and pushed the other way.

587
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 2: All right, Well where the police where? The police still rotating?

588
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 9: I did not see all of them watching him do it,

589
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 9: all right.

590
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: So rather than beat the horse dead, let's just say,

591
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: let's take the belt off. Let's go on an assumption.

592
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: It's a timing chain. A timing chain guide is a

593
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 2: nylon guide that helps keep the timing chain on track.

594
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 2: Think about a bicycle, right as the chain rolls around

595
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 2: the sprockets. It's the metal guide. In the case of

596
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: a bicycle. It's made better believe it or not, which

597
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: I guess is a commentary on modern vehicles. But it's

598
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: a guide that helps keep the chain on track and

599
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 2: in place. How important is it. Well, if the guide

600
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 2: were to fail, just like on the bicycle, that chain

601
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: is going to fall off, the engine's going to stop,

602
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: and we've got a whole bunch of possible problems that

603
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: could occur. The issue becomes at this mileage, do you

604
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: do just to chain guides and sprockets or do you

605
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: start thinking about a replacement engine if you're that in

606
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: love with the vehicle. And I'm not no judgment, I'm

607
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: just saying, you know, consider the options. If replacing chains

608
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: and guides is two grand and replacing the engine is five,

609
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: but the vehicles in good condition, consider that a replacement

610
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: vehicle of that size and caliber is easily somewhere between

611
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 2: sixty and eighty grand used and higher new. You know,

612
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 2: engine replacement doesn't look so bad, right, correct. It's not

613
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,239
Speaker 2: something you can drive long term. That's the issue, and

614
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: that's why you know you've got to make a decision.

615
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: But before I go that route, I sure would find

616
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: a mechanic and find the guy that's going to actually

617
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: do the engine work or the engine replacement. Have somebody

618
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 2: take the belt off and just listen to it and

619
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: then be sure it's a simple process. And this way

620
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: we're not playing what it could have should it in guessing?

621
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 2: In any event, give me a call if you need more.

622
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: I'm running any in the car. Doctor. I'll be back

623
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: right after this. Let's get on over and talk. Let's

624
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: go talk to Ron in Virginia. Ron, this is run

625
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: eleven down Country. How can I help you, sir?

626
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 7: In my closing minutes, Yeah, twenty eleven town and Country.

627
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 7: The ABS, the brake light and the traction control light

628
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 7: are lit and I can't get them to reset.

629
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 2: Okay, Uh what what? What fault code do you have?

630
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: Do you know?

631
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

632
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 7: I had AOUTOS and clicked that, you know, put it

633
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 7: in this head the ABS control modules bad?

634
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: Okay, Right, so you had a problem. So does CEE

635
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: twenty two hundred ring a bell as a possible code?

636
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 2: Is that what they told you?

637
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 8: Yeah? Possibly?

638
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: Okay? So see I don't have yeah, okay. See twenty

639
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: two hundred is an indicator that there is a possible

640
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: internal fault in the ABS hydraulic control unit. Higher mileage?

641
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: How many miles you got on this?

642
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,719
Speaker 3: It's like one hundred and thirteen thousand?

643
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 8: Right?

644
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: Have you done any break fluid flushing or break fluid

645
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: maintenance along the way, I have not Okay, so what

646
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: typically happens? Yeah, no, I get it. I listen. You know,

647
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 2: things creep up on us. It's you know, life is,

648
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: life is tough, and we all we all miss a

649
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 2: few things here and there. This is This is an argument,

650
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 2: and I'm not saying doing break bleeding and break flushing

651
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 2: on a regular basis would have prevented it, but it

652
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: it does kind of help the process. You may find

653
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 2: that doing a bleed using a scan tool in the words,

654
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 2: bleeding the hydraulic control unit with a scan tool, and

655
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,959
Speaker 2: it would require repair shop. They go in, there's a

656
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 2: there's an automated bleed sequence that a proper scan tool

657
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: will do. And what it does is it works the

658
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 2: internals of the hydraulic control unit. This code usually comes

659
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: about because of either a failure of the control unit,

660
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 2: one of the abs valves inside the control unit is

661
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: sticky or stuck, or it's got an electrical issue. Usually

662
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 2: twenty two hundred though is more hydraulic. It's more on

663
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 2: the hydraulic side. So you know, they can go through

664
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: a bleed procedure, they can see if that does it.

665
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 2: But I've got to tell you You know, if I was

666
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 2: looking at a pattern failure database and there were eight

667
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: hundred cases of it, I bet just seven hundred of

668
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 2: them are control units and the other one hundred or

669
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 2: the odd things connectors, electrical. You know, a bleed procedure

670
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 2: possibly fixing it. But if the brakes are operating normally,

671
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 2: you know you're gonna always have breaks. You just won't

672
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: have anti lock. The other thing you've got to be

673
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 2: concerned with is the part even available. Vehicles almost twelve

674
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: years old, and it may no longer be It may

675
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: be obsolete, no longer available from Chrysler. Deeper diagnosis, some

676
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 2: testing has to be done round. Try a bleed procedure first.

677
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: I'm roonning ay in the car doctor. It's been great

678
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: till the next time. Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

679
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 8: See you
