Speaker 1: take your calls. At eight five and now he running.

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the dip in the road

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: and what that dip does. And I've come to the

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: conclusion the dip is created by a dope. I've seen it.

16
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: I keep experiencing this, and I'll probably talk about this

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: for a while yet, but today I just want to

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: talk about it real quick because we've got a lot

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: of calls already lined up today. Welcome to board. Welcome

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: to the Car Doctor. By the way, so the dip

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: in the road if you travel down Crescent Avan, allen Dale,

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: New Jersey. You'll come to a bridge that was washed

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: out a couple of years back, and they rebuilt the bridge,

24
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: and I don't know what the county spent. It was

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: four million dollars or some ridiculous amount of money that

26
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: that they spent. And you know there's a dip. You

27
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: traveled down Credit Joop and it doesn't matter what speed

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: you're going, all right, if you're in a plow truck,

29
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: and I know this from experience, you can be doing

30
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: thirty miles an hour and have the plow three quarters

31
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: of the way off the ground. Darn if the plow

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: doesn't and that is exactly what you say when you're

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: not on radio, if the plow doesn't smack the asphalt,

34
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: because it's aboo one of those deals. You know, somebody

35
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: didn't design that right. Somebody had to know that that

36
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: was going to create a dip, but yet they built

37
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: the thing anyway. They just kept putting it together. They

38
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: couldn't get it straight. And this sad part is for

39
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: years to come and maybe generations, as they continue to

40
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: pave the road and repave the road, that dip is

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: always going to be there. Enter the Honda c RV No.

42
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: Six Honda CRV coum into the shop this week, and

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: Elizabeth has been trying to piece this car back together.

44
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: Hard working girl, she's she's a young woman. I should

45
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: say I apologize. She's, you know, trying to get it

46
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: together and proceed down the road of life, no pun intended.

47
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: And this oh six Honda is her means of transportation

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: back and forth to her job where she works very

49
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: hard to take care of herself and her mom. And

50
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: this two d and six thousand miles CRV that she's

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: literally pieced together. She just they just paid somebody to

52
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: put a transmission in a while back was five six

53
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: months ago that you know, it was a used transmission.

54
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: This is all she could afford. They put it together,

55
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: they made it work. And here she is. She's on

56
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: my doorstep now telling me about a a a hard

57
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: cranking problem. It doesn't crank smoothly when it's cold, only

58
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: when it's cold. So I I work it to experience it.

59
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: I get the problem, I make it happen. I go, yeah,

60
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: this sounds like a starter issue of some kind. Gotta

61
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: take it apart. Probably gonna put a starter in. Take

62
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: it apart, which is no easy task on the CRV

63
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: because the genius is a Honda decided that they were

64
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: going to use a shoehorn and six pounds of wheelbearing

65
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 1: grease to get the engine to fit into the compartment,

66
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: along with the start of the intake manifold, the radiator,

67
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: the trans and everything else that they shoved in here,

68
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: so that when you wanted to work on anything, it

69
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: was unless you were changing the oil or the air filter.

70
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: Everything else is a pain in the neck. You don't

71
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: You don't say that word when you're not on radio either.

72
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: So took off the intake manifold, the air intake duck,

73
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: took apart a bunch of little connectors that a two

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: hundred thousand miles and fifteen years old just kind of

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: disintegrate in your hands. So it's a real great repair.

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: You want to do it, but you deal with it.

77
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: It's it fixed the car and for on you right,

78
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: what I always tell you, And that's when I saw

79
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: the dope, I mean the dip. I don't know if

80
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: I think they're interchangeable. I don't think it matters. The

81
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: genius that put the starter in when he did the

82
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: transmission left probably an eighth of an inch or more

83
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: gap at one end of the starter. He put the

84
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: starter in at an angle. Now most people would, you know,

85
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: straighten it out. You don't want to be a doper dip.

86
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: And he just add a heck where they tightened the balls.

87
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: Whether he saw it or not, you had to see it.

88
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean it was you took the intake manifold off.

89
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: You're looking at it. It would be like looking at

90
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: the Grand Canyon and all of a sudden somebody filled

91
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: it into the point where all of a sudden there

92
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: wasn't a gap anymore. Like Wow, what's what's wrong with

93
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: this picture? So I got the starter out, which was

94
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: no easy test because he really worked the bottom bolt.

95
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: He really I had to put and I'm not kidding,

96
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: I had to put. I have a a twenty four

97
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: inch half inch breaker bar courtesy the folk. Should snap

98
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: on that I keep standing up right in my card

99
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: of doom. When I'm going for the and and I

100
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: mean the bolt. The breaker bar was starting to bend

101
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: all right, halfens driving. Thank God for cross fit um

102
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: and you know, and the bolt finally came loose. And

103
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,119
Speaker 1: then I proceeded over the course of forty five minutes

104
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: to work the bolt out. That just didn't want to

105
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: come out a little bit of spray. Some pop blasters

106
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: soak it in. Work the bolt, pp blaster, work it

107
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: in breaker bar. You know, got the bolt out, took

108
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: out three threads with it because they were bombed together.

109
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: Because I think this guy thought he was tightening up

110
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: the bolt that would hold to George Washington Bridge from

111
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: New York, New Jersey together. I wanted to make sure

112
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: it didn't fall out and get lost. So and then

113
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: it became, you know, rethread the bolt, you know, working

114
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: from an angle, your sideways with a mirror, and you're

115
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: going this way. And but I looked at I looked

116
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: at the starter. It was in at such an angle

117
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: that it actually wore the teeth of the starter at

118
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of an angle. Naturally the angle would

119
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: change and it wore the flywheel at that same angle.

120
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: You know, you had to see it, you know, And

121
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: that's the problem. This is what ort to repair is about.

122
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: All right. You've got to approach or to repair, just

123
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: like the way you would build that road properly. You

124
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: don't want to create a dip because it's gonna be

125
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: there and it's gonna affect people, and it's gonna cost

126
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: more money. I get it. The guys that made the

127
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: road there on Crescent Ham, I get that that's gonna

128
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: cost money to fix. Do it right the first time.

129
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: Take the extra five minutes, go back straight in the

130
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: road out and make it right. Go back. Put the

131
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: starter in. Why doesn't it fit? It fit for me.

132
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: As soon as I took the two bolts out, which

133
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: was the bigger, the hardest part, I put the starter

134
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: and it has a little bit of corrosion around the case.

135
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: I had to take a knife and scrape it out. Man,

136
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: and and it went. You don't want to be a dope,

137
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean a dip doesn't matter. You don't want to

138
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: be one or the other. You don't want to create one,

139
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: that's for sure, because that's doing auto repair the wrong way.

140
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: You want to do it the right way. Make sure

141
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: the starter fits, make sure the road is smooth, because

142
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 1: it's gonna be there for a long time. To come

143
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: along and welcome Ron and Ainting the car doctor here

144

00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: let's talk about that transmission from last week. Got a lot.

152
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny certain things light everybody up. Uh,

153
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, you can tell what you can tell the

154
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: listening audience because I got a lot of phone calls

155

Speaker 1: and emails over a Turbo four trans in that tea

156
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: bucket that wasn't working. It's the funniest thing. Um, you

157
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: can tell who all the ex hot rotters are, and

158
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: you can tell who all who drove the big block

159
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: chavelle in high school. Right, it's just h yeah, yeah,

160
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: So talk to me what's on your mind? Well, Um,

161
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: after I listen to you guys talk, I'm you know,

162
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: I got like partially into it because I was on

163
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: my way into work. Has pulled a double that day,

164
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: But I'm like listen to him, like, man, I go,

165
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: that sounds identical to the issue that I had, and

166
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: I had it. Um, it's weird. I got a Turbo

167
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: four hundreds, but it's in a seventy nine g J

168
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: ten pickup. Truck because back then you can either get

169
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: the the cork flight transmission or the g M Purple

170
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: four hundred just made the taste by all the guts

171
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: for the Turble four hundreds. And I've encountered it once

172
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: before and in a Chevelle, and um, I'm like, you know,

173
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: I tested the pump pressure and all that stuff, and

174
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: thinking maybe was a torque converter and you know something,

175
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, maybe something getting stuck in the valve body

176
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: or or even you know, sometimes putting in that filter

177
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: sometimes you can come unseated and there if it's not

178
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: in there properly and roll and behold. All two times

179
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: that I've encountered the issue was an accumulator pump piston.

180
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: It was it was stuck, so you're not able to

181
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: build that pressure up to to move those four gears.

182
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: And I put in gear and like it would sit

183
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: for ten fifteen seconds and then it would kind of

184
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: creep creep along. I'm like, what that was going on?

185
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: Here I go and you know, the one time, I

186
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: basically ended up smoking the transmission because it was burning

187
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: up to the clutches. But it was a good learning

188
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: point when I m had to rebuild my first turb

189
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: before hundreds. It was a little it did the actuate

190
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: her in there for the in the spring and incubulator

191
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: pump wasn't wasn't working right, and uh, that was causing

192
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: my issues. And then I encountered it the second time.

193
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I'm not going through all

194
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: this problem. I went right to that pump piston before

195
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: I ended up scattering the transmission and that was the issue.

196
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't working right. Um. Yeah, once I would, you know,

197
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: fix that problem, you know, and I wan't threw throwing

198
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: parts at everything, you know for converters, you know the

199
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: you know, the front pump and everything and taking things

200
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: down looking at it. And then on the first time

201
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: I did it, and once I solved it the first time,

202
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: I had accountered the second time pever like ten or

203
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: fifteen years later, I'm like, hey, let me check this out.

204
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: It's funny. It's funny to life lessons you remain, you

205
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: retain and remember working on a car, right, Oh yeah,

206
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: that was that, you know, I was raised. I mean

207
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: that's all I drive now. And my wife drives a

208
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: two thousand and seventeen Toyota Sieanna because we've got the kids.

209
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's safe for the car. I drive my

210
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: junk that I can don't have to go through remissions

211
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: and I can work on him. It's got a carburetor

212
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: on it. How many miles your wife seeingna have on it?

213
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: She's got both a forty eight thousand miles. We got

214
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: the extended Uh you know mylogonic because she does driving. Now. Now,

215
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to give away this. Oh she leased it.

216
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, if she, if she owns it,

217
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: if you own it, I don't want to give away

218
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: the second hour's opening. But if if she owns it, well,

219
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: if your podcast, if you can listen to the second

220
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: hour open, I'm gonna tell you a real world story

221
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: about Toyota WS trans fluid and uh, the problems that

222
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: come up because it's it's not bulletproof as everybody thinks.

223
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: By the way, on a quick note before I go,

224
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: and I appreciate your calling me, Mark, do you know

225
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: just a point of note? Uh, point of interest. I

226
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: don't know why I remember this, but I do. In

227
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight, General Motors did a study on the

228
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: life expectancy of a term or four hundred transmission and

229
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: they came up with it was gonna go a predicted

230
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: mileage of two hundred and fifty thousand miles alight, and

231
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: and and they and they decided that that was too

232
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: many miles, so they asked the engineers to step in,

233
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: and by nine seventy two they headed down to a

234
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: life expectancy of a hundred and ten thousand miles. So

235
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: the engineers. The engineer did this job and got a bonus.

236
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: So that's some time. We just we just made things

237
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: too well back then. Mark, I appreciate the call. I'll

238
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: get some sleep, brother, have a good night shift tonight.

239
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: And uh, we appreciate the input. I'm running any of

240
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: the car Doctor eight five five five six zero nine zero,

241

Speaker 1: Here's Rob. Let's gonna talk to Larry and IOWA two

246
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: thousand eleven gmc larry. Welcome to the Car Doctor, sir.

247
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: How can I help? Hey? Ron, thanks for taking my call. Hey, UM,

248
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: I have um it's a gas motor, so I have

249
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: the six l ninety transmission in this um, so like

250
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: the last last week, um, um we had like zero

251
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: and below zero weather. Um when I was shifting into

252
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: reverse and or drive. You know, this is after the

253
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: truck has sat overnight, so like when I'm leaving for

254
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: work in the morning. UM, so I would and there

255
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: would be a delay engagement. Um. And and after that,

256
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: after it did it the first time, it wouldn't happen,

257
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, any other time throughout the day. Um. It

258
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: was just like after the truck had set for like

259
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: eight hours, right, and and it's it's both gears. Now

260
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: are you letting the are you letting the truck warm up? Which,

261
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: by the way, yeah, if you yeah, I normally let

262
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: it run for about five to ten minutes before take off,

263
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: so it's it's warmed up at that stage. There's no

264
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: there's no dash warning lights on, there's no indication of no,

265
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: not not for not for a transmission code. No, because

266
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: because I do have a I do have a scanner

267
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: that will scan all models, and I've never had a

268
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: transmission code come up. Okay, so we the good news

269
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: is there's no faults. The bad news is there is

270
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: and how many miles are on this just over. You know,

271
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: the the issue is this could be anything from a

272
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: restriction in the filter. Is this sort of like the

273
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: last goal, But this could be a restriction in the filter.

274
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: This could be an air leak up around the seal

275
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: where the filter sits, although it's not common, but it

276
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: is possible. So this could be a filter related issue.

277
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: This could be hardening of the seals that that are,

278
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, in the trans case itself because of the

279
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: mile is the fact that it happens reverse and first,

280
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: you know, if this was the first gear only, I'd say,

281
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: maybe we've got a low Sprague assembly or low low

282
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: Sprague your assembly first gear, something that you know, preventing

283
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: it from happening. Uh. You know, obviously it's got to

284
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: go to a shop. They've got to do a pump

285
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: pressure test. You know what's pump pressure? Like maybe we

286
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: have a pump issue. You know. The question is how

287
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: bad of a delay is it? Five seconds? Eight seconds? Um?

288
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: I would say about three? I mean, you know it

289
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: doesn't yeah, and I would say three three is not

290
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: a lot. Know, well, let me say it like this

291
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: three second delay? Uh and and how long has it

292
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: been doing this? Um? Well? Like right, now it's not

293
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: like because right now we're in the thirties, we're heading up.

294
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's getting warmer. Um right now, it doesn't

295
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: do it. It was just like when it was like

296
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: zero or below. Okay, did it just start this season

297
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: or yeah, well I bought it in July, so I

298
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: so this is the first winner I've had it. So

299
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, I would say it like this, all right,

300
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: understand which where I'm coming from. You're not going to

301
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: take the trans out and fix A or B. You're

302
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna overhaul it, all right, So you know

303
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: do we want to do we want to deal with

304
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: the three second delay under an extreme temperature condition as

305
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: it sits, or pull the trans and spend you know,

306
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of you know, you sit there and you go, well,

307
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: let's say you feed the kids, um, you know, sleeping doors,

308
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, college who needs you know, Um, now we

309
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: we we could try some miracles in a can as

310
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: I refer to them. All right, there are products out

311
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: there that you know you've got where you highway, you

312
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: gotta you got a local Rileyoto parts. You know, they've

313
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: got a great chemical selection. Perhaps they'll have something on

314
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: the shelf. I'm thinking, I'm looking for something that's gonna

315
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: be rated, you know, softens internal trans seals or restores

316
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: internal trans seal seal. You know, remember an automatic transmission

317
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: is all hydraulic, right, and you know it's just I

318
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: always think about the bulldozer you see work on the

319
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: side of the road when you're stuck in traffic on

320
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: why do these guys have to work today? And the

321
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: way that blade goes up and down, and the hydraulic

322
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: pistons going and out, and you know that's all hydraulics

323
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: and seals. If every once in a while you'll see

324
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: one that's you know, got got a wet spot, it's leaking,

325
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: just what an automatic trans does. The rubber seal wears

326
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: out of the rubber seal, loses its ability to maintain

327
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: its seal. Uh. You know, is there something that's going

328
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: to help improve you know, shift quality, hydraulic pressure, softened seals,

329
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: seal the seal if you want to, If I can

330
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: say it like that, and I know from experience, I've

331
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: looked online at a rallyoto dot com. Um, I can

332
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: imagine what the stores have in them. I would get

333
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: out to my local Rallyota parts. What do they have?

334
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 1: It can't hurt anything, and I don't want to promote

335
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: this is a way to fix it on a permanent basis.

336
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: But if it can get you another thirty thousand miles,

337
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: fifty thousand miles, you don't know how long it's gonna last.

338
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: But you know, it's sort of like you and me, right,

339
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: the trucks nine years old at this age, I don't

340
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,239
Speaker 1: know how long I'm gonna last. You know how long

341
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: the truck's gonna last. You you're roll dic and you

342
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: shoot for the best. Um. You know that would be

343
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: that would be one way to approach it, just trying

344
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: to be dollar conscious so that you're not you know,

345
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: just yeah, the easy things. He overhaul the trans um.

346
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: The other answer is perhaps we could drop the pan,

347
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: take a look at the filter. It probably wouldn't hurt

348
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: to service it, do a fluid exchange to see what's

349
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: sort of approvement, if any, we get from that. But

350
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: those are your two choices. I appreciate the call area

351
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: Monan car Doctor. I'll be back right after this. Welcome

352
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: back run in any of the car Doctor Elio zero

353
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: winning in New York City. You're on what's going on?

354
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: Hi there? Hi, okay, I have two questions. First question

355
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: has to do with a leak that was seemed that

356
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 1: was in the trunk and the with the doughnut is

357
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: and I just happened to see water on that piece

358
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: that covers that whole floor, and it was wet, and

359
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: I just thought I had knocked over a bottle of

360
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: a gallon of water, which I usually keep in the car,

361
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: so I thought that was it. I didn't pay any

362
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: attention then, being wet, so I said, let me look

363
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: under this. So I looked under and the whole donut

364
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: area was filled with water. You know. I took it

365
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: to the mechanic, a local mechanic around the corner, and

366
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: he emptied all that water out and he kept it

367
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: the car and said that you know, he said later

368
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: that he took a hose and just went over let

369
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: the water run over the car for about half an hour,

370
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: and he didn't nothing happen. He didn't see a leak. Uh.

371
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: So I paid him a hundred dollars and I brought

372
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: the car home, and of course maybe and then I

373
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: just said, okay, it was fixed, because I had to

374
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 1: take it up to another place. Where they oiled it

375
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: and dried it out so forth, because so that I

376
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't continue to rush. The wheel and the rim were rusted.

377
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: And the first mechanics said that the car had been

378
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: sitting the whole bottom of the car had been sitting

379
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: in water, that so much water was there, but the

380
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: car is I have not had the car anywhere other

381
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: than my parking space for it to be sitting in

382
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: any water. Um, so then I thought it was repaired.

383
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: So maybe three months later, I said, let me just

384
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: check your water filled with order again. About a quarter

385
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: of water, No, just about a quarter of a quart

386
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: of water was down on the donut part. And I

387
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: just took it back to him again, and he says, well,

388
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: I'll just have to check it again. And he says,

389
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: I said, well, am I going to have to pay

390
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: you again for this? And then if if it's not

391
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: repaired and I bring it back and I have to

392
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: pay you again, he says, well, you know we did

393
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: most of it, which indicated he's going to charge me something, right,

394
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: and he never fixed it. So I think the wisdom

395
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: of Solomon is required in a situation like this, whinning

396
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: and and and and here's why I say that. My

397
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: My first question to you is is this your regular mechanic?

398
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: You have a relationship with this guy kind of? I

399
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: have a couple of places that I go to for

400
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: different things, small things. He's not a big he said,

401
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: I would have to take it to an auto what

402
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: do you call it? A body shop? A body shop? Yeah? Yeah,

403
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: so he's not that kind of a worker. You know

404
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: this is and you know and so so. So the

405
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: balance here becomes what if he said to you, hey, whinny,

406
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: I can I can work on this, I can give

407
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: it my best shot, but I may or may not

408
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: be able to get all of it. Would you have

409
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: still paid him to look at it, to try him? Yeah?

410
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: I would have. Okay, so pretend you did that. It'll

411
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: leave your mind because the issue really comes back to

412
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: his ken he and will he fix it. Water leaks

413
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: are a pain in the neck. It's water. Water has

414
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: its water hasn't finds its own level. Not not the lecture,

415
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: but it's just it's just you just have to approach

416
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: it a little differently. It's not like doing breaks or tires,

417
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: something that has a fixed beginning and generally a fixed end.

418
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: This can be an open ended thing. There's no rule

419
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: that says, ay, there's more than one water leak can

420
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: be it doesn't redevelop three months later, and it almost

421
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: sounds like he fixed it and then something else popped

422
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: up because the well wasn't as full this time as

423
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: it was the last time. Right, that's the way you

424
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: that's the way you said. So yeah, so think of

425
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: it like that. Apply. Now. Let me say say one thing.

426
00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: When I closed the trunk, and I pointed it out

427
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: to him, Oh, no, I don't think that's it. When

428
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: I closed the trunk, whether where the trunk meets the car,

429
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, and once it's closed at the please, I

430
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: saw that on either side of that on the car,

431
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: I saw two little holes. So I said, well, could

432
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: that be it? He says, no, that's not it. I

433
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: mean I just right now, I just plugged it in

434
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: with some more tight that that play stuff. I just

435
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: plugged that in. So I don't know, because it just

436
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: last week that I took it back to him. So

437
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: I don't know whether that could be it. But it's

438
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: a small leak obviously in A thousand and seven, and

439
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: I never noticed anything before. One of the one of

440
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: the ways, and it's it's it's it's a little it's

441
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: a little I want to say dangerous, but it's a

442
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: little different. I'm not sure how he does it. I

443
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: mean the way we do water leaks in the shop

444
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: and have for years and years is and you have

445
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: to trust the guy you're working with. Is we locked

446
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: somebody in the trunk, and you know, we'll put somebody

447
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: in the trunk and will It's not a question of

448
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: hitting it with a hose hard um. You know, we'll

449
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: stand there with a hose and hold your thumb over

450
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: the hose and you know, straight up and we make

451
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: it rain on the car. You know, you have to

452
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: kind of replicate, you know, the force of the water

453
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: hitting the car as if it was out in the

454
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: rain or out in weather. Because sometimes hitting what is

455
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: a funny thing. You take a hose, spray it directly

456
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: out of vehicle with a leak, it may not go in,

457
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't find its way. You have to kind of

458
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: let it have that natural progression and let it let

459
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: it find its path. It's it's like years ago when

460
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: the Army Corps of Engineers changed the I can't remember where,

461
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: but somewhere they changed the direction or the position of

462
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: the Mississippi, and then when the floods came, the water

463
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: resumed back flowing the way it wanted to. You know,

464
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: it's like, don't mess with God, just let the water

465
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: go where it wants. And that's sort of what he's like,

466
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: trying to find water leaks. Um, so we'll put somebody

467
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: in the car. Where do we see the wet The

468
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: other thing he could try is, as a suggestion, if

469
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: he's not aware, and I'm not trying to tell him

470
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: or anybody had to do their job, we'll take flour

471
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: and put flour down around the rubber seal and or

472
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: just something that will get displaced. And then you know,

473
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: close the lid, lift the lid, is there a spot

474
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: an impression in the rubber seal that's you know, still

475
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: got flour on it such that we know the rubber

476
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: seal isn't contacting the trun the deck lid, uh that

477
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: you know there's no seal there. And then last, as

478
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: crazy as it sounds, we see a lot of cars

479
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: with water leaks, especially the Hondas. For some reason, right

480
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: tell him to take a look at the tail lights.

481
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: We see a lot of Hondas with bad seals around

482
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: the tail lights, and it will leak water just like

483
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: you're describing it so and no nobody ever thinks to

484
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: look at the tail lights because they're looking up, not sideways.

485
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: But you know the fact is when the water runs

486
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: off the car through that channel just under the deck

487
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: lid on the body seem it's directed right at the

488
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: top of the tail lights and it finds its rimber water.

489
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: Water has a mind of its own. It's like a

490
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: three year old. It's gonna go where it once when

491
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: it wants. And right, so he can charge me and

492
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: then that's not the problem and I just pay him again. Right, Well,

493
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: it's if I take it to the dealer, they're going

494
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: to find a whole bunch of whatever. Well, it's you

495
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 1: know what this is all about, finding the guy that

496
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: wants to fix it in that relationship. Water leaks, you're

497
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: not easy. It's not it's it's not unreasonable to ask. Now,

498
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: in all fairness, he is also right. Body shops tend

499
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: to have a better track record in some cases, not

500
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: all cases, but body shops have to deal with more

501
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: water leaks, I think on a regular basis, and mechanical

502
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: shops in some instances, and you know, perhaps it is

503
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: a body shop a body shop type of repair. Only

504
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, only the attending physician, as I say, can

505
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: make that judgment. Um. So a second question, okay, second question,

506
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: um of who? My car is a two thousand seven

507
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: kind of accord? It has not quite forty miles. I'm

508
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: in New York City, so I don't drive much, and

509
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: I was coming through the park last week and it

510
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: hit a big pothole and it just splintered the whole tire,

511
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: one of the tires. So I took it to the

512
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: same mechanic around the corner and he put the doughnut

513
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: on and and he also told me that one of

514
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: the other back tires was cracked. But so I I

515
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: took it up to this place in the Bronx and

516
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: brought to four new Michelin tires. Uh. And then the

517
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: man says, well, you know, I said, well, can you

518
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: just check since I hit that big pothole that nothing

519
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: else is wrong with the you know, the wheel break

520
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: whatever is the wheel is attached to. And he said no,

521
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: there was nothing wrong. And then the head guy came

522
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: over and he says, you know, I think you need

523
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: you need new struts. So I said, new struss I says, well,

524
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 1: my car doesn't bounce something down, you're gonna need new

525
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: So he ended up talking me into getting four new struts. Now,

526
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking that I really need struts because you know,

527
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: the car was forty thousand miles and I don't really

528
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: drive it, and it was the smooth drive before, you know,

529
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: and the you know, and I know every time I

530
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: seem to go to these larger places, they end up

531
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: telling me I need something. And as a woman, you know,

532
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: I said, well, you know, I don't want problems. Go ahead, Yeah,

533
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure. The question is, you know, what did he

534
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: see in the strut? There's there's there, there's there's two three,

535
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: two to three reasons why. You know, structs are there

536
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: as ride and you picked it out right, you know,

537
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: how does the ride fit? Uh? You know, are the struts?

538
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: Are any of the struts leaking? Is there any physical

539
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: damage to them that they're displaced? And you know, see

540
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: maybe they shot the alignment after they did the tires

541
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: and they saw something out of line that had to

542
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: be corrected by replacing a strut. You know, it's it's,

543
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: it's it's it's any combination of those. But you know,

544
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: it's easy enough to prove. Here's the physical damage, here's

545
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: the alignment specs, this is what it's supposed to be,

546
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: this is what it is. Something's bent, it has to

547
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: be replaced, you know, or here's the ride quality. So

548
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, and yeah, you can't at this point, it's

549
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: already done. I think, you know, in in the situation

550
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: where you know, right well, you know, always remember one

551
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: of the problems with auto repair. And the boys aren't

552
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: gonna like it when I say this, but in a

553
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: lot of places it's it's it's they're on a commission basis.

554
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: And we all know that, right and you know, it's

555
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: it's not something you really want to go through. Everybody's

556
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: trying to sell something because everybody's trying to buy that

557
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: next piece of law and furniture. One of the things

558
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: I always try to encourage people to do is find

559
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: one mechanic, you know, the nickel or ten dollars or

560
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: fifty dollars, you say, by going to this guy who

561
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: is cheaper than that guy, But that guy does this cheaper,

562
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: you know what. It all comes out in the wash,

563
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: and not to lecture, but it just does. It's it's

564
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: it's better to have that relationship with one guy that

565
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: you trust, that you know, that makes sense, that's not

566
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: gonna say, well, unfortunately the struts that you may or

567
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: may not need, because now you're gonna think about that,

568
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: trying to think about it. When he go see the

569
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: other guy about the water leak and the trunk, explain

570
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: it to him the way I explained it to him.

571
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: And if you need something, you know where to find us.

572
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. Zero the Carders coming back right

573
00:28:51,840 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: after this. Back it's going to Paul in Maine. Twelve

574
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: Dodge Caravan Paul go, I got three minutes. Yeah, excuse me, uh.

575
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: The Dodge two thousand, twelve Dodge Grand Caravan about a

576
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: hundred and five thousand UM. I bought it not quite

577
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: a year ago. I didn't get it off the lot

578
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: to five and the engine light come on. So I

579
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: took it to a patch uh place, and they put

580
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: the diagnostics on it. It come back as the number

581
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: two cylinder was misfiring. He said it could be a

582
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: spot plug or the coil. So I replaced all six

583
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: spot plugs just because of the cow was new to me,

584
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: and I put a new coil on that number two cylinder,

585
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: and it didn't take care of the problem. Uh. A

586
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 1: little while later, five six miles later, the light come

587
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: back on again. So brought it down again and the

588
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: guy said, jeez, same thing, number two cylinder. He said

589
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: it could it could also be the injector. So I

590
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: put a new injector on that number two cylinder. Um

591
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: and and this keeps happening every so often, and the

592
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: lights on again. I didn't bring it down this time,

593
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: but sure it's going to say the same thing, number

594
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: two cylinder misfiring and what else could be going on?

595
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: And this is a three point six leader on assuming Yeah, um,

596
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: have you seen any of the information from Chrysler regarding this.

597
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: Let's see, there's a bulletin, if I remember correctly, out

598
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: there that talks about this particular problem. Actually there's more

599
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: than a few. Um oh nine dish double O two,

600
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: dish fourteen. There's a revision A, there's a revision B

601
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: where they talk very clearly about you know, and you

602
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: go through the routine, maybe not necessarily changing parts, but

603
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 1: you would swap spark plug, you would move injector around,

604
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: you would do some mechanical tests, and that's probably the

605
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: next step where somebody's going to do a mechanical compression

606
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: test and a cylinder leakedown test, and they are they

607
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: are likely going to find that the cylinder leakedown test fails,

608
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: be as the exhaust valves are carboned up and the

609
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,239
Speaker 1: or they're you know, they're pitted there. So you know

610
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: it's Chrysler has extended the warranty on the cylinder heads.

611
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: And that bulletin talks about it. I think unfortunately trying

612
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: to remember if it's a hundred thousand miles or a

613
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand miles, so you may be in

614
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: it or you may just be out. Uh, you've got

615
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: to get your hands on that bulletin again on nine

616
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: double O two four B and a. UM. Actually, if

617
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: you if you somebody has christ or service information, if

618
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: you just plug in P zero three oh two you

619
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: make model and start looking through bulletins, it'll come up.

620
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: It's it's it's all over the place. It's like a

621
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: rash um a lot of conversation about it. Now, you know,

622
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: obviously we're talking about somebody with a better skill set

623
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: than just the part's house. It's plugging in a scan

624
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: tool and saying, yeah, it's a misfire. We'll try this

625
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: and this and this, somebody to diagnose it. Now, you know,

626
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: some of the solution might be that. And it depends

627
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: on the severity of it that you know, carbon deposits

628
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: on the valves may be able to be repaired. It

629
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: depends if it's carbon deposits on the intake valves. You know,

630
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: a fuel tank audited Berryman fuel system cleaner in the

631
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: tank would likely take care of it or at least

632
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: help it could um exhaust valves, exhaust valves or a

633
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: problem for any kind of fuel tank cleaner or additive

634
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: because that's after the combustion cycle and the cleaners. So

635
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: what you could do is and you just keep this

636
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: in the back of your mind. That I'm not saying

637
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: run out and buy a candidates and try it, but

638
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: keep this as part of the solution. You know, if

639
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: you're out of warrantine and you gotta pay for this,

640
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be expensive. If you want to try something

641
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: simple UM Berryman Products dot com. Go look at their

642
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: their their their top end engine cleaner. It's a pour

643
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: in that you will, you know, pull the plugs, crank

644
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: the engine around, open the exhaust valve on the on

645
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: the problem cylinder and fill it up and to the

646
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: point that it will soak. You get the idea, you're

647
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: kind of sticking your finger down into the solution that's

648
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: in the cylinder and let it soak overnight. And what

649
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: that will do is that could possible we dissolve carbon

650
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: deposits on the exhaust wealth to the point that it

651
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: solves the problem. But it will it will you know,

652
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: give you a direction. Now, do you have to do

653
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: the heads or not? But you're only gonna do all

654
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: this after somebody does some mechanical compression tests and a

655
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: cylinder leak down tests, and you're likely to find Barnman

656

660

675
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,560
