Speaker 1: your call.

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: You know, I was thinking about Micah. We were talking

17
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 3: to Micah in the previous hour about you know, he

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: was paying more for parts he found out through the dealership.

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: You know the answer is this too right? MSRP manufacturers

20
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 3: suggested retail price. It's suggested. It doesn't mean they have

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 3: to follow it. It's a suggestion by the manufacturer, a

22
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: car dealer. Anybody can charge anything they want for anything.

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: It's how reasonable is it and how competitive is it?

24
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: And I guess that's business, and I'm not condoning it.

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's right. But in Micah's case, I

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 3: think something changed at that dealership, that they're structuring something

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: different in the pay a scale or the paying of

28
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: the parts people, or how much profit they want that

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 3: parts department to generate. Something is going on that all

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: of a sudden, it's different if it's the same owners.

31
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: So I think, Micah, if you're still listening, and I

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: imagine you are, perhaps it's a letter to the owner

33
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: of the dealership explaining your situation, pointing out what a good,

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: loyal customer you are and did he have a valid,

35
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: reasonable explanation other than we just need to charge more

36
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: for parts in order to stay in business. And it

37
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: might just be that simple. You don't like it or not,

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 3: but it might just be that simple, and then you

39
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 3: can make a decision from there. So just just just

40
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: my two cents, I was thinking about it in between hours.

41
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 3: Let's go to Sam with a ten explorer and see

42
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: what I can do to help him. Sam welcome back,

43
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: sir house. Things out in Pennsylvania Way today.

44
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: It's a little warm today, but we're doing all right.

45
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's going on back? What are we working on?

46
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: Twenty ten Ford Explore four leter automatic Eddie Bauer has

47
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 4: all the bells and whistles right. And transmission issues. I've

48
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 4: got some really weird codes. It started out you could

49
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: hear like a almost like a liquid rushing sound when

50
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: the car was sitting there, and everything drove fine, no

51
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 4: problems whatever. The only code that came up at that

52
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 4: time were the lighting codes, is like B fourteen seventy

53
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 4: two and a B sixteen ninety six.

54
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 5: No problems.

55
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: It's been about a week later the wrench it showed

56
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 4: up and code showed up PO seven thirty two incorrect

57
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: gear ratio two, PO seven thirty five gear ratio five

58
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 4: incorrect ratio in transfer case PO seven thirty two. Really

59
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 4: weird stuff. Wouldn't shift out. A second gear took it

60
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 4: into the transmission shop and he tore it down, and

61
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: I saw the parts. They were destroyed. They were they

62
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 4: were in bad, bad shape. He rebuilt it, put it

63
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: back together and it shifts through all five years. But

64
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 4: the speedometer but this spinometer was bouncing when I took

65
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 4: it in. It was literally bouncing it. Would you know,

66
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 4: zero to sixty and just back and forth. Think you're

67
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: dribbling a ball. Now it's reading double the speed. If

68
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 4: you're doing thirty, it says you're doing sixty. And it'll

69
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: shift through three years when you're going around a corner

70
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 4: from a stop sign.

71
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 3: Because it's it's it's things that's seeing or getting erroneous readings.

72
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: Correct correct, And the transmission guy says, that's out of

73
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: my out of my rebuild scope. He said. He actually

74
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: took it down to the dealer and the dealer said,

75
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 4: you're transmission screwed up. He's like, uh, I rebuilt transmissions

76
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 4: for a living beden't do on it for many years.

77
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: It's not messed up. So they kicked it back to

78
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 4: me to let me look at it. And I found,

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 4: you know, I did the doctor google one line and

80
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 4: found body control module problems, windshields leaking on that car,

81
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 4: seals inside the end of rubber gramts inside the engine

82
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 4: and getting bold and letting water through. This doesn't have

83
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: a sun roof. Of the sun roofs not leaking. But

84
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 4: I took pictures of the body control model. I opened

85
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 4: up and dissected it. It got wet. Okay, would I'm

86
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 4: getting mixed review, mixed answers on will body control module

87
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 4: failure or as it's dying, make that s phenometer do

88
00:04:59,400 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: stupid things?

89
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 3: Fix fix what you know is bad. Where's the vehicle

90
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: speed sensor report to? Does it go to the b

91
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: CM or the PCM O.

92
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 4: I think it passes through the v C b c

93
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 4: M R, but I don't think it reports to. I

94
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 4: think it passes through it. And I think that's where

95
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 4: my problem is because all that corrosion.

96
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: And if they're if they're sending it to the b

97
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 3: c M, they're doing it for a reason, right, They're

98
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: not doing it because it's convenient.

99
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 4: Okay.

100
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: So if if you've got a wet electronic component, that's

101
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 3: step one, okay, has to be.

102
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 4: I already have that on order. It show it'll be

103
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 4: Hero Tuesday right now.

104
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 3: Now, did you get a new one or a used one?

105
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 4: Uh? There are no more new ones than we had

106
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 4: in the world. So I have to receive this one

107
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: and I have to send it out someplace to get

108
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 4: it cloned. Vehicle right, and there's a billion people in

00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 4: the time in the world.

117
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 3: And you're bored, so you need to tinker.

118
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm not bored. It's the first first day of

119
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 4: my uh my retire. My daughter calls me. She works

120
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 4: nights at a emergency animal hospital. She's like the nighttime

121
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: nurse for all the surgeries that goes through the day.

122
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 4: She takes care of the animals at night. She called me,

123
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 4: you know, eight o'clock in the morning. She was driving home.

124
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 4: She was, I don't have any breaks her break line

125
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 4: let loose underneath her because she's an out five miles

126
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: to tribute, and so we toted here, replaced some break lines,

127
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 4: and back when she goes, I think from the grade

128
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 4: almost two hundred thousand miles in that car.

129
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: Now, let me let me say this about the explorer too,

130
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 3: before I let you go. That that explorer is also

131
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: known issues for wiring harnesses in the engine compartment. Oh

132
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 3: all right, look at the wiring harness. That's a four

133
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: leader is Why do I think Maybe I'm thinking of

134
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 3: the wrong vehicle, But why do I think the wiring

135
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: harness is close to the EGR valve tube? There's an

136
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: EGR valve on this Yeah.

137
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe it's there in the back right hand

138
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 4: corner of the engine.

139
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 5: I believe.

140
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 4: And let the I'm thinking of my truck.

141
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: Right Is there wiring Is there a wiring harness near there?

142
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.

143
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there is. If there is, I mean, listen,

144
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: I'm still going to tell you to fix the BCM.

145
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: But we have seen problems where those wiring harnesses as

146
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: they age, the copper gets brittle, the copper changes resistance value,

147
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: it does all kinds of funny things. And I've seen

148
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: people where they've had to go out and find a

149
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: wiring harness for that vehicle because no, that's not available either.

150
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 3: You know, we're dealing with this in the world of

151
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: for it, it's sixteen years old. That car is way

152
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: well worth, passed its prime.

153
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: So the dealer wasn't interested in fixing it as far

154
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 4: as I'm concerned. Nope, they had it for a couple hours.

155
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 3: And yeah, yeah, well they can't get parts for it.

156
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: In all fairness, they can't get parts for it. Not

157
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: too many dealers that I know of, we'll deal with

158
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 3: used or obsolete parts. They just won't. They can't guarantee

159
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: the repair. And frankly, they've got so much newer stuff

160
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: to work on that. You know, the other side of

161
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: it is right, you want to you want to take

162
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 3: a look at mechanics life, and I'm sure you're aware

163
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 3: of this, but the dealership has a dealership always has

164
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 3: its A, and it's B and it's c tex right,

165
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: and that a tech. There's only so much they can

166
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 3: hold in their head. And maybe they're going to hold

167
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: technology and knowledge going back six seven years. They know

168
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 3: when this did this, it was that, when that did this,

169
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 3: it was this, Right, you're asking them to go back

170
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 3: sixteen years on an obsolete vehicle in their mind, because

171
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 3: I can tell you right now, you can't a PCM

172
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: for that car, you can't buy a BCM for that car.

173
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: You can't get an EGR VOW for that car. You

174
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: can't get a throttle body for that car you can't get.

175
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: If I sit and I think about it, there's a

176
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: lot you can't get for that car from Ford. There's

177
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: after market, there's after market variations. I've never been a

178
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: fan of after market computers, only because I've seen far

179
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 3: too many cars where we're going to use an aftermarket

180
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 3: computer that's remanufactured. But I've never seen an after market

181
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: rebuilder that has the manufacturing capability of an oe manufacturer.

182
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 3: It just doesn't happen.

183
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 6: There.

184
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, pocketbook isn't there. It can't be. Years and years ago,

185
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: in the early nineties, I went down to a one

186
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: car Don in Philadelphia and they're out of business. Now

187
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: they're gone. They went with the First Brands Group bankruptcy

188
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 3: back in the spring. And I went to a one

189
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: card Don and they were a very nice, great company,

190
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 3: family run. They took me around, they showed me everything.

191
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: We got to the computer remanu facture room, clean room,

192
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: you know, as much of a clean room as they

193
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 3: could generate on their pocketbook, which isn't small. A one

194
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: Cartdone was a huge company, and you know, I expected

195
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 3: to see you know, I don't know, we're going to

196
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: desolder the boards and change chips and resistors and known problems,

197
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 3: and we've got a bank of engineers working on it.

198
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 6: You know.

199
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 3: No, it's it's it's a clean room. They heat it,

200
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 3: they freeze it, they shake it, and if it does

201
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: a functional circuit test, hey, you're good. That's re manufactured.

202
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: And I said, but what about the one that fails

203
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 3: every other Tuesday when the moon is blue and the

204
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 3: tide is high and you make a left turn and

205
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 3: it twists the case just right. He goes, yeah, we

206
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 3: can't fix that. So he goes, we're playing the odds.

207
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 3: They're playing the odds.

208
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 4: Wow.

209
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: So I would prefer a used one they came out

210
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 3: of a running vehicle, because it's field tested. At least

211
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: I know it worked, That's.

212
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: What I'm getting.

213
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: So's you know, so be aware. And my point is,

214
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: care what you invest in that vehicle, because you almost

215
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 3: want to buy another one for parts, just to have

216
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: it sitting there just saying just saying, all right.

217
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 4: Kiddo, I just just thank for it for into the transmission.

218
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 3: So all right, so you're there, you're gonna write You're

219
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 3: you're married now, brother, you know, but it's it's it's

220
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: not far off to say, gee, do I go find

221
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: one that's rusted out but still running and functional. Everything works,

222
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 3: and then I've got a parts for him, right, And

223
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: you know that's that's how you got to think. All right,

224
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 3: kidd of, let us know what happens. Keep me in

225
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: the loop. I will, I will.

226
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 4: I appreciate your help.

227
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: All right, You're very welcome. Be well, Sam, take good care.

228
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 3: I'm running any in the Car Doctor. We're back right

229
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 3: after this. Hey, let's go right to Ralph in New Hampshire.

230
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty super ru Forest through is Ralph. How can

231
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: I help you, sir? Welcome to the Car Doctor.

232
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 5: All right, Ron, very impressed with your show, and I

233
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 5: appreciate it. I'm calling about my twenty twenty fourth for

234
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 5: which it shuts off every time you come to an intersection,

235
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 5: and I found something online that might get rid of that.

236
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 5: But the question I have for you is the dealer

237
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 5: said that if I put that on there, it might

238
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 5: cancel the warranty I have, which I don't really care

239
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 5: that much about. I care about getting this thing to

240
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 5: stop shutting off. It's a it's a real pain.

241
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: In the next Well, let's let's talk about this. If

242
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: first of all, what kind of a device. Is this, well,

243
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: where does it plug in? Is there a brand?

244
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know about the brand, but it's a

245
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 5: wire that you you you have to open up the

246
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 5: inside of wherever this control thing is. I'm not exactly

247
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,599
Speaker 5: sure right which I have to. It's really a workaround.

248
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 5: As far as I can tell. It sends a signal

249
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 5: back to itself so it doesn't shut off.

250
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 3: So there's a there's a there's a company out there

251
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 3: called Auto Stop Eliminator.

252
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 5: Ah, yes, I think that might be.

253
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: Okay, And I see a lot of people use it,

254
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: and a lot of people seem to be happy with it.

255
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 3: In the case of the Forester, it's just going to

256
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 3: be a workaround, plug in behind that button that you

257
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: have on the dashboarder, in the console, wherever it is,

258
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: so you know, a lot of people are doing it,

259
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: a lot of people aren't having problems. Am I a

260
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 3: fan of it? I'm less of a fan of bypassing

261
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 3: the system than I am of the system itself. If

262
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: the top five things that I think are dumb that

263
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: we've put on cars in the last thirty years, I

264
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: think stop start is right there. You know, it's a

265
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: tie for first place with a lot of them. Yeah,

266
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 3: I think vehicle security. I start my car in the

267
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 3: middle of a snowstorm, which you have that stuff called

268
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: snow up there in New Hampshire, right, and you know

269
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 3: it's a cold day and you're trying to make it

270
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: home from wherever you are thirty minutes out, forty five

271
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: minutes out, and the car keeps shutting off. What a

272
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: pain in the butt? Will it restart every time? Will it?

273
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 3: You know, it's extra expense and extra inconvenience going going

274
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: back to the dealer. What things are going to be? Well,

275
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: first of all, it's a six year old car. What's

276
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 3: covered under warranty at this point?

277
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 5: Well, when I bought the car, the person that it was,

278
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 5: a lady that owned the car, only puts thirty thousand

279
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 5: miles on it, right, and so it was garage captain.

280
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 5: It's in perfect shape really, So she had a warranty.

281
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 5: We paid I think the six hundred dollars more for

282
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 5: another two years. So that's what I've got. And I

283
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 5: don't really care that much about the warranty. I just

284
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 5: think it's a stupid idea to have a car shut

285
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 5: off this way. I think it's a lot more wear

286
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 5: and tear on the starter, and I don't know about

287
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 5: what the ex condition when you shut it off and

288
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 5: turn it back on like that. I don't think that's

289
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 5: good for it, but I just wanted to. I know

290
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 5: you've spoken about this once a few times before when

291
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 5: I've lived on a long time listener.

292
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: So so thank you. So so here's here's my comment.

293
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: I'm standing in front of the judge while you're on her.

294
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: You know, I put this after market auto stops starting,

295
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: and now they're saying that void's my warranty, the transmission

296
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: filled because I put an auto stop start button in.

297
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: Does that mean if I change the radio I avoid

298
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 3: the warranty as well? Am I not allowed to put

299
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 3: after market accessories into my vehicle that have been designed

300
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 3: by other companies that you know, thousands and maybe millions

301
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 3: of people are using, and now you're going to avoid

302
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: my warranty? Is is this a way out?

303
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 6: You know?

304
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 3: I could see if listen I opened up. Last hour,

305
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: we were talking about modifying the power distribution center on

306
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: the Jeep Grand Cherokee do a workaround for the AC relay.

307
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 3: You know, that's not something that's been engineered. That's not

308
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: something that's been tried and trued and tested for a

309
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: company like got to Stop Eliminator to come out with

316
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: plan english. So I would go back to that dealership

317
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: who told you would avoid the warranty, service writer, the

318
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: parts guy or the salesman in.

319
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 5: The showroom, the guy that you go to inside up, yeah.

320
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: The service the service writer. I would I would make

321
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 3: a direct I would reach out directly to the service

322
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 3: manager and ask him you were told this, why does

323
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 3: installing an after market start stop button to bypass the

324
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: factory void the entire warranty on the car? And then

325
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: I would look at your extended warranty company. I would

326
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: look at that policy. Does it does it say that

327
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: that voids the warranty? And then I would talk to

328
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 3: Auto Stop Eliminator and say, you know, we're fighting the

329
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 3: battle the wrong way here, Ralph, Okay, you know we've

330
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 3: got to go to the powers that be and say, yeah,

331
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 3: I'd love to buy your product, But do you know

332
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 3: they're telling me if I put it in avoids my warranty,

333
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 3: does that mean you're assuming the liability or is there

334
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: any truth to that at all?

335
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 7: Yeah?

336
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought.

337
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 6: You know.

338
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 3: One of the things I hate in this world. You ready, Yeah,

339
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 3: it's stupid people. You know it's it's I hate. I

340
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: hate people hiding behind the what if? Would it? Could have?

341
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 3: Should have? Just because it's the easy way to do things.

342
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: You know what, I don't see why as long as

343
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: it's a plug in and it you know, listen, if

344
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 3: it's a plugin and it keeps the car on all

345
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 3: the time, how is that different than you getting in

346
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 3: the car and pushing the button?

347
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 5: Right, That's what I thought. That's why I told him it.

348
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think maybe you cut the guy in a hurry.

349
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 3: The guy didn't feel like explaining it. Again, stupid people.

350
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: We don't like stupid people. Go get a better answer.

351
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 3: All right, kidd, you're very welcome. Ralph, you're very welcome, sir,

Speaker 3: This is a topic near and dear to my heart.

364
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 3: It really deals with something well, let me say it

365
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 3: like this, my kids say, my two most favorite places

366
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 3: on the planet are a bagel store and the car wash,

367
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 3: because there's nothing like going to either one, especially on

368
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: a Saturday morning. You gotta start with basics, right when

369
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 3: you talk about washing your vehicle, not so much with bagels,

370
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: bagels or a whole nother art form. But you know,

371
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 3: let's welcome in our guest this hour and we'll get

372
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 3: started there before I go to for Tony Ingram. He's

373
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: the vice president of operations for Advanced Autoparts, and we're

374
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 3: happy to have him. Tony. Welcome to the Car Doctor,

375
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 3: Sir Heylan, thanks for having me. Let's start with basics, right,

376
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 3: and and I know you're down in Florida, the sunny state.

377
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: You know it's got to be Washing your car has

378
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 3: to be a big priority. You guys get that stuff

379
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 3: called what's it called sunshine?

380
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 6: Right?

381
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 3: So, Washington waxing a vehicle, right, Yeah, Washington, waxing a

382
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 3: vehicle has to be a big deal. Why does it matter?

383
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 3: You know, does it help the life of the car.

384
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, So a lot of people think that, you know,

385
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 6: washing and waxing your vehicle is more about how it looks,

386
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 6: which is that's a part of it.

387
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 7: But you also want to protect your investment.

388
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 6: Look, cars are aren't cheap, right, They're pretty expensive, and

389
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 6: want to make sure you protect it as well as

390
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 6: keep it keeping it looking good. Right, So washing your

391
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 6: vehicle regularly with the right products and the right process

392
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 6: will get that service contamination bird dropping all that stuff

393
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 6: off of your paint before it can cause long term damage,

394
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 6: and then waxing it periodically or some type of coating

395
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 6: will give you an extra level of protection to keep

396
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 6: that clear coat and paint lasting longer and also making

397
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 6: the washing experience a little bit easier as well.

398
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 3: So I just can't grab the dial dish soap under

399
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 3: the kitchen sink and use that right bubbles or bubbles. No,

400
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 3: I guess that doesn't apply to cars today.

401
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 6: Not quite.

402
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 7: Not quite.

403
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 6: I think we've all been there and done that, But

404
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 6: that is not a great idea. So automotive car wash

405
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 6: products are specifically formulated to remove the surface contaminants safely

406
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 6: from your paint without stripping off that that protective layer

407
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 6: that that wax or whatever coding you apply to the vehicle,

408
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 6: where this deturgent will just rip it all right, So

409
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 6: you definitely want to use the right product for the

410
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 6: right process.

411
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: So how do you know what to use? And before

412
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 3: you answer that, I want you to also put in

413
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 3: that answer, let's talk a little bit about ceramic coating

414
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 3: somewhere in this conversation, because ceramic coatings are like the

415
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 3: new kid on the block. Uh, they've been around a

416
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 3: little bit, but they're they're they're getting better and better

417
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 3: every year. And that's that's got to be part of

418
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 3: the you know, the question too, when do you use those?

419
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah, so it's a great question.

420
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 6: Then you know, as I mentioned kind of that that

421
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 6: protective layer, or some people refer to that sacrificial layer

422
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 6: above your paint, which traditionally we would use wax, you

423
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 6: know the terminology. Uh, But it's really any type of

424
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 6: protective layer, right, So it could be wax or paint, sealent,

425
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 6: surmaantic coating, uh.

426
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 7: And all of those can be applied a multitude of ways.

427
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:41,239
Speaker 5: Uh.

428
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 7: And it really comes down to how.

429
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 6: Much effort you want to put into it, because you

430
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 6: can actually get a superior finish and and a finish

431
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 6: it will actually last longer if you put a little

432
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 6: bit more work up front. But if you're not willing

433
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 6: to put that work in something quick and easy, maybe

434
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 6: the right right solution for you because you're more apt.

435
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 7: To use it.

436
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 3: How often should the average driver be waxing their car?

437
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 3: Is there is there a timetable?

438
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 7: Now?

439
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 6: You know a rule of thumb when we used to

440
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 6: talk about kind of old school waxes was about every

441
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 6: six months or so. But again, there's so much that

442
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 6: goes into that, Right. Is the vehicle kept in the

443
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 6: garage or not? Is it part from the tree?

444
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 7: What are your road conditions?

445
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 4: Like?

446
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 6: You know, as you mentioned, I've got plenty of sunshine here,

447
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 6: but you know, you folks up north you got you

448
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 6: got you know, snow, and.

449
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 7: Different things like that the factor into it. So a

450
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 7: good way to.

451
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 6: Kind of test for that, so to speak, is when

452
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 6: the vehicle is clean and dry, you rub your hands

453
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 6: against the surface of paint, it's pretty slick, you know,

454
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 6: almost like glass, you're probably in good shape. Additionally, you know,

455
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 6: if you're when you're renting that vehicle, if the water

456
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 6: beams up, you're also probably in pretty good shape from

457
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 6: a from a protection standpoint. But if the water sheaves

458
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 6: off when you rent it comes off and sheet rather

459
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 6: than you know, beads, or if you rub your hand

460
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 6: against the surface of paint and it's kind of rough

461
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 6: to the touch, you probably need a little TLC. Right,

462
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 6: You'll probably need some some uh the top off your

463
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 6: surface protective of choice.

464
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: Right.

465
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 6: You may even need to get some polishing action going

466
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 6: on there to decontaminate the paint.

467
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 3: So you know, listen, I'll take my vehicle to the

468
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: car wash maybe once every six to eight weeks. But

469
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 3: that isn't the final solution, right, It's it's I'll still

470
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 3: wax it.

471
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 5: Now.

472
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 3: You can use a car wash and just go down

473
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 3: and get the exterior wash. If you know it's a

474
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 3: big vehicle. I drive a suburban. So it's kind of

475
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 3: a pain in the neck to wash every you know,

476
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 3: but I will I will hand wax it. I hand

477
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 3: wax the bus as we call it, every every two

478
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 3: and a half three months. That vehicles O four and

479
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 3: you can rub your hand against it. The water beads,

480
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 3: it's smooth, it's clean. You can't believe it's twenty something

481
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 3: years old, right, And that's that's okay too.

482
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 4: Right.

483
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 3: You can wax on top of somebody else's wax. It's

484
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: not going to hurt anything. You're just gonna add more

485
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 3: layers of protection.

486
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 7: Uh.

487
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 6: It depends on the products. If you if you're using

488
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 6: a traditional wax, and typically they can be layered, ceramic coats,

489
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 6: some of them can be layered. Uh, but there are

490
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 6: also some products that can't need layer right, so it

491
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 6: is important to uh to you know, it sounds cliche,

492
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 6: but to read the manufactured destruction right, and they're they're

493
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 6: pretty transparent there. But what a lot of folks do

494
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 6: you know, they use a like a quick detailer of

495
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 6: sorts that have has a little bit of surface protection

496
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 6: that that lasts a couple of weeks, but that that

497
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 6: usually can be layered on top of whatever ceramic coat, wax,

498
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 6: whatever the case may be.

499
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 7: Uh. And that's personally what I do. My vehicles is

500
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 7: ceramic coated.

501
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 6: But every time I I wash and dry, I add

502
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 6: a bray on and additional spray on layer, uh to

503
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 6: kind of build up and give me a little bit

504
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 6: more protection and costs.

505
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 3: So beyond regular washing and waxing, you know. And and

506
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 3: that actually does protect against you know, road salt, uv fade,

507
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 3: bird droppings and rust over the long haul, you know.

508
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 3: But to what les of effectiveness do you still have

509
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: to It's still about the product you use, right, the

510
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 3: the end product, the end protection layer.

511
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 6: So it's about the product, the process, but also timeliness.

512
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 4: Right.

513
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 6: So if if you have you know, the your your

514
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 6: wax aeronica whatever it is, is gonna be a surface layer,

515
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 6: you know, the super sacrificial layer of protected. But if

516
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 6: you have bird droppings on your vehicle, right, it's that

517
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 6: that's gonna eventually etch. Your clearcoat's gonna work its way

518
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 6: in if you leave it, you know, for quite some time,

519
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 6: and if you clean it right away, right, and then

520
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 6: you might have wore away your coating, but you haven't

521
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 6: actually damaged your paint or your clear coat right, So,

522
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 6: so being timely right and to your point, you've got

523
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 6: a maintenance procedure for your suburban, you know, built in

524
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 6: and no surprise that you know, twenty plus years later,

525
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 6: it's still in the condition. So the product matters, the process.

526
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 7: Matters, but also you know, regular maintenance is very important.

527
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 3: So somebody's gonna hear our conversation today and they're going

528
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: to go, you know what, I'm going down to my

Speaker 5: Yeah, so great question.

535
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 6: And I often see people in the store looking at

536
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 6: this huge wall of product and they have that same

537
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,800

542
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 6: and they're looking at that big wall of product, I

543
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 6: start with the question. I try and understand what they're

544
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,040

609
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 3: and I have to believe it. That's absolutely true. But

610
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 3: doing it by hand is even better. It's like a meditation.

611
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 3: So get out there and wash your car. Make sure

612
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 3: you apply those those wax coats nice and even lee

Speaker 4: There is.

615
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,920

620
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: is doing the exact same thing, and I sort of

621
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 3: caught the tail end of that conversation. Could you tell

622
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 3: us about it again? Okay, yeah, Danny, I'm sorry. Yeah.

623
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 3: We were running late that hour, so you know, in

624
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 3: the case of a door latch that stopped working, and

625
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 3: in the case of Ted and Montana, what I wanted

626
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 3: you to do was take the doorlatch out of the car.

627
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 3: He has an older Chevy pickup truck that parts opsolete.

628
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: It's no longer available. It's not a question of can

629
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 3: you find one in the aftermarket. I don't know. I

630
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 3: think after market door latches if I can get an

631
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 3: oe one to work, or if I can find a

632
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 3: replacement OE one from the manufacturer, I'd rather use that.

633
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: So that being said, you've got an older door latch,

634
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 3: you want to restore it. WD forty makes a product

635
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 3: called rust Restore. It's got very good penetrating qualities that

636
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: will help get out all the grease and and grit

637
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 3: and rust if you soak it in it. So get

638
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 3: a metal pan, you know, fill it up, put the

639
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 3: latch in there and let it sit there for a while.

640
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 3: Come back, take a little toothbrush, scrub, scrub, scrub, dip it,

641
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 3: look at it, scrub, scrub, scrub, and work it. Okay,

642
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: and it's gonna take a little while and over some time,

643
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 3: maybe maybe a couple hours, maybe a couple of days,

644
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 3: it depends on how dirty it is. Then set it

645
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 3: out on a pile of paper towels and let it

646
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 3: sit there and drain and you know, drip free, so

647
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 3: to speak. Hit it with a little solvent cleaner, which

648
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 3: WD forty also has, and then use w D forty,

649
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 3: the original formula WD forty. The reason I like it

650
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 3: is w D forty displaces moisture and it will soak

651
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 3: right into the metal and it will help defend the

652
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 3: metal against moisture. So a w D forty lubricated latch

653
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 3: last longer, it moves sweeter, there's a click to it.

654
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 3: There's a nice sweetness to it. You can also see

655
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: now they've got w D forty with long reach nozzles

656
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 3: so you can get it inside the latch and all

657
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 3: the hard to reach places. You do that, Dan, you've

658
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: basically restored your door latch on your older Chevy Camaro

659
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 3: and it'll work great for years to come. The trick

660
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 3: is rush remover from w D forty and then the

661
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: the lubricant w D forty. It'll work really well. A

662

Speaker 3: five five, five, six, nine nine zero zero running ending

663

665
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 3: in through that. We talked about that from time to time.

00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 3: Busy show, right, Busy show. This week was a great

671
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 3: want those two hundred and fiftieth America anniversary T shirts.

Speaker 3: We're glad to keep producing them. We've got a couple

673
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 3: of new products in the pipeline we're coming up with.

674
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: We're trying to come up with a way to put

675
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 3: rawnisms up on the website. So if there's something you

676
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 3: catch me saying all the time, you know, the road

677
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 3: downhill is paved with ice, and good mechanics aren't expensive,

678
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 3: they're priceless. That's already up there. But the road downhill

679
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 3: is paved with ice, and you know, show me what's good,

680
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what's bad. You know, if you wanted

681
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 3: to put that on a coffee cup or a T shirt,

682
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 3: we're trying to give you that option, so you can

683
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: look for that. But yeah, don't forget the show. The

684
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 3: store is there, and thank you for the podcast downloads.

00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 3: You guys are doing a great job. I just want

686
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 3: to answer this for Chris. Chris is Chris is special

687
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 3: to me. I mean, all you guys are special to me,

688
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 3: but Chris is special to me for a couple of

689
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 3: different reasons. One, Chris is a cancer survivor. Chris wrote

690
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 3: me a very nice email many years ago working on

691
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 3: his daughter's jeep, and it was Christmas I think it

692
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 3: was a couple of day before Christmas, and I shocked

693
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 3: the heck out of him, and I pipped up the

694
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 3: phone and I called him, and you know, once he

695
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 3: got over the shock, we had a really great conversation

696
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 3: about cars, life, cancer, surviving and moving on. Chris writes me, Hey, Ron,

697
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 3: long time, no right, good afternoon. Both of us are

698
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 3: still alive and kicking, Thank you God. With that said,

699
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 3: anything atypical about replacing internet or tyrods on a twenty

700
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 3: seventeen Nissan Titan seems pretty straightforward, but you never know,

701
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 3: so I thought I would ask been listening be listening

702
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 3: to your show soon, Loyle listener Chris ps five years

703
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 3: cancer free?

704
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 4: Amen?

705
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 3: Amen? Amen? Amen? Brother? Yeah, absolutely nothing weird, Chris. The

706
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 3: biggest problem replacing inner tyrods is going to be getting

707
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 3: the boot back on the boots A pain in the neck.

708
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 3: So you probably want to at least a by a

709
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 3: replacement boot. I would get it from Nissan if they

710
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 3: sell them. If you can still get them, and be

711
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 3: aware of how are you going to get to the clamp.

712
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 3: The clamp on a Nissan sometimes it's just a round

713
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 3: piece of wire, It's just tire wide together, wire tied together.

714
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes it's just tough to get in there.

715
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 3: If it's a physical clamp, you've got to have a

716
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 3: pair of those dikes that are long and flat and

717
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 3: they grip it from the side at the right angle,

718
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 3: so just be aware of that. But beyond getting the

719
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 3: boot to go on, replacing the inner tire ride, you're

720
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 3: gonna need a special socket. But as long as you've

721
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 3: got the right tools, that should be cut and dry

722
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 3: and no big issue, and I'm sure you can do it.

723
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 3: I'm running any in the car doctor until the next time.

724
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 3: Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

725
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 5: See you.

726
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,120
