Speaker 1: and to keep alive memory, this could very well be

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: a bad instrument cluster causing the radio and power windows

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,800

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: with the Car Doctor. Facebook page brought a Ninny and

23
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor. I am fired up, ready to go.

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: It was a nice week off. I have to go

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: back to work, though, I'm exhausted. Just you know, the

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: things you find to do on staycation. Um. I think

27
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: I worked on cars eight days out of seven, if

28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: that's possible. Um, just doing things and finding things to do,

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, I wonder how that worked. And I

30
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: want to go back down at the shop and tinker

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: with this and gee, let me just look at that.

32
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: And I gotta go back to work. It's got to

33
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: be easier than trying to be on vacation. Good afternoon,

34
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: Mr Ray. How are you today, sir? Oh tired? Yeah, yeah,

35
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: it looked like you were out late last night. Yes. Yes,

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: My son and I have a tradition since he was

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: twelve he's thirty now. We go to the Giants Jets

38
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: preseason game every year, and we took Tony with us

39
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: this year. So you're the twelve year old and now

40
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: he's he's he's the adult. That's right. Yeah, that's the

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: way it always works. Son. See Tony is among the

42
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: missing today. That's okay. We uh we we he has whiplash. Yeah, well,

43
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: between watching the game and watching the ladies in the stands,

44
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know which way his head was turning. Well,

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: and he got there late from what I understand. Uh yeah,

46
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: thanks to the lovely Port Authority and the mt A.

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: That happens. That's a that's a New Jersey, New York thing.

48
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: So but in any event, let's let's kick the garage

49
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: doors open. Let's go and talk to Rachel in Indiana

50
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: OH one Mercedes mL three twenty Rachel, Welcome to the

51
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: car doctor. How can I help? Good? Wrying? Hi? How

52
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: are you left? I'm good? Thanks? What's going well? I

53
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: have two thousand and one was sadies. And when I'm

54
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: driving or when I'm just trying to park, it gives

55
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: me a lot of resistance. And I try to turn right.

56
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: It's worse if I and if I'm just trying to

57
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: park or pull out of the garage, it doesn't it

58
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: doesn't want to turn right. Okay, I take the power

59
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: staring fluid and that's not it. It turns left just

60
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: fine too. Okay. How many miles were on this car?

61
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: You know? Uh, quite a bit, quite a bit. Um,

62
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't I don't have that hundred thousand, two hundred thousand. Yeah, yeah, okay,

63
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: high mileage car, high mileage car. So let's let's talk

64
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: about this. Doesn't matter whether you're Mercedes or a Chevrolet,

65
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, the basic mechanics here are still

66
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: the same. A power steering pump does not know direction,

67
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't know left or right. Okay. So that being said,

68
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: it's still one of my concerns as as power steering

69
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: pumps are an issue or known to be an issue

70
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: on Ben's is of this vintage, particularly if the pump

71
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: itself has YEA. If the pump is slightly low on

72
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: output pressure, it can create an issue left or right,

73
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: depending upon if there's another problem elsewhere. So that being said,

74
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, my and and I should back up a

75
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: second here. My first question is are we sure the

76
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: fluid as good as you've owned the car since knew

77
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: you've owned the car a good long time and the

78
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: problem wasn't there? Did you inherit the car this way?

79
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: I just got the car like couple, okay, and the

80
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: problem has been there since day one? Yeah? Okay? Um,

81
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: and do you know the person that you bought it

82
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: from or was this just something you purchased this way

83
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: I got it from Okay, can you can you go

84
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: back and ask them when did the problem happen? Would

85
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: they know? As it might help the diagnosis? I mean

86
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: it could could I think I think it's done that

87
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: quite a while for them too, but I'm not sure,

88
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: all right? And and because then the next question is

89
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: was the car ever in an accident? Did they try

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: to get the problem solved? And if so, what repairs

91
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: were done? Where this is ultimately leading What we typically

92
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: look for is we look for condition and correct fluid.

93
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: This takes very specific power steering fluid for a Benz,

94
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: and we've got to be sure that what's in there

95
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: is right. So we'll work on the assumption that it is.

96
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: But I just want to make sure I state that.

97
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: So then the next question I've got is was the

98
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: vehicle ever in an accident? And then if if a

99
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: mechanic were to put this up in the air, and

100
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: I'd start with just disconnecting steering catch side the side

101
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: to the wheels themselves, turn and move free. Is there

102
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: anything binding bound up, stiff, tight, et cetera. All right, Um,

103
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: I would also go ahead, waitment, I would also take

104
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: a look at power steering pump output. If there's a way,

105
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: if they have the ability, can they pressure check the pump?

106
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, pumps are common. This doesn't sound like

107
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: a pump, but it could be a combination of a

108
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: pump and or a steering rack, which is the mechanism

109
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: that the pump feeds pressure to to turn the wheels.

110
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 1: A pump doesn't know direction, a steering rack does. That's

111
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: the main steering gear, and it could it could be

112
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: that this is headed for a steering gear itself, the

113
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: steering rack assembly. If you google power steering rack will

114
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: get a picture of it and see what I'm talking about.

115
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: The problem becomes though, that a power steering rackets to

116
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: be very expensive for this car. It's almost uh um,

117
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: it might exceed what you paid for it. So you

118
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: want to be sure of what you're doing. And then

119
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: if you do have to put a rack in the car,

120
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: you've got to be certain of quality and type. You're

121
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: gonna find out I think if you don't know it

122
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: by now, that owning a Mercedes require some very specific

123
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: parts and some very specific repair procedures. So just yeah,

124
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: it's yeah, I can tell, but you found that out, huh. Yeah, UM,

125
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: the hard way I understand. UM. So do you have

126
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: a mechanic that that that works on Mercedes? Um? Not locally? Yeah,

127
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: and that's that's that's yeah, that's the problem too. UM.

128
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: The good news is though that if you find somebody

129
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: that can work on it, they tend to last a

130
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: good long time and they are great cars. They just

131
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: have to they just have to speak Mercedes, as I say,

132
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, blonde hair, blue eyes, and um, you know,

133
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: comes from the fatherland and he understands the vehicle. Uh

134
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: you know. But let's start with basics, you know, if

135
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna if you're gonna fix this, UM, I would

136
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: say start with basics, Like I said, if you can

137
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: go back and talk to the person, Hey, how long

138
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: did the problem? How how long had the problem been happening?

139
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: You know, was it ever in an accident in the front?

140
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: Did it? Did anything crop up after that repair? Um?

141
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: And then talk about you know, fluid, Think about fluid,

142
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: think about having the pump pressure checks. But likely if

143
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: the steering suspension doesn't turn out to be an issue

144
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: where it's not tighter binding, I would start to think

145
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: about a steering rack as being at fault. Here all right, Okay,

146
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: you are, Thanks Rachel, You're very welcome. You have a

147
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: good rest of the day. Um, bye bye unfortunately. Yeah,

148
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: you know that first car, maybe that that that newer

149
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: car park. Yeah, I got a Mercedes. Yeah, And I

150
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: guess it doesn't matter when you buy it in your life.

151
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: At what point you've always got to think about you know,

152
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: people come to me and say, hey, I want to

153
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: buy this. I want to buy that. You gotta think

154
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: about when it's gonna break. If you're buying it new,

155
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: if you're buying it used, You've always got to think,

156
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, what are you gonna do when it breaks?

157
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Who's gonna work on it? And and what's that gonna cost?

158
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: Because the break factor, Um, the breaking factor will always

159
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: come into you know, play here. It's it's it's become

160
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: it becomes part of the the ownership. I've said it once,

161
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: I've said it a thousand times, and I'll say it

162
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: until until I'm not here anymore. A car is a lifestyle,

163
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: and it just it kind of comes back to how

164
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: much how much car, how much lifestyle can you afford

165
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: or do you want to afford? Um? So, but in

166
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: any event, let's get over and talk to Kevin Rockland,

167
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: New York, oh seven Honday, in a car that doesn't start. Kevin,

168
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car, doctor, sir. What's going on? Hey, Ron?

169
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: How you doing? I seem to have a problem with

170
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: my two thousand and seven Honday is era. Uh, it's

171
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: an intermittent starting problem. Sometimes appears to be uh like

172
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: an a mobilizer or something kind of electronic. Doesn't seem

173
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: to be anything mechanical. But you'll just keep turning over

174
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: and unless uh, the light on a dashboard shows up

175
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: that it recognizes the key, that car will not start. Okay,

176
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: So it's got it. It's it's it's it's having an

177
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: anti theft event. From what you're describing, is there a

178
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: there should be some sort of a of a key

179
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: simile or something um to signify an anti theft event

180
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: on the dashboard? Is there is there a light that's

181
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: normally green that's read when this happens. No, the the

182
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: light shows up recognized the key, but it doesn't always

183
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: show up, and that that is the problem. When you

184
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: if you don't see the yellow light show up with

185
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: the key to call it, just turn but it'll never

186
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: turn over. Okay, scan it for codes no, I did

187
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: not scan it for codes. Alright, codes are the first

188
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: thing we're looking for. A P sixt which, if it

189
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: isn't a mobilizer authentication issue, a mobilizer authentication fail code

190
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: is P six UM. Now you you should see that

191
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: under ob D two, I would be I would be

192
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: prepared to do a complete vehicle scan um all system modules,

193
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: just for knowledge sake, and I would tell you that

194
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: you should do it relatively soon after the fault occurs,

195
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: just so that we don't lose it in history, depending

196
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: upon how intermittent this is. The One thing um I

197
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: could also tell you is if your scan tool has

198
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: any sort of data stream or values and it you

199
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: can look to see if the scan tool shows learn

200
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: invalid um and believe it or not, they use the

201
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: word virgin. It's it's one of the other learned invalid

202
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: or virgin on the on the scan tool part of

203
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: the immobilizer system, and it will it will you know,

204
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: turn up. In other words, what it's saying is does

205
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: the system recognize the key as the right key for

206
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: the cars at really Kevin, or is it's some guy

207
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: trying to steal it? And you know if if it

208
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: if it shows anything but learned. It's telling you that

209
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 1: there's a faulted. There is a fault in the immobilizer

210
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: and it could be anything from uh, the ignition switch

211
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: to the most common is the ignition key itself. Do

212
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: you have a second key you can try? I tried.

213
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: I have two keys for it, and both keys are

214
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: very similar. Things happen to it. Okay, when you say

215
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: very similar, is there a little bit of a difference?

216
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: There is there a matter of frequency of when and

217
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: how it happens or now you don't want You could

218
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: drive it for three months and you'll never have a

219
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: problem with it, and then one day you get it

220
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: take your half an hour to start the car. Okay, Yeah,

221
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: we've we've we've got to go look at a mobilizer

222
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: data and see if you have any fault codes there

223
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: and then start to work on that. All right. That's

224
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: that's that's where I would begin with this. If you're

225
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: if you're seeing symbols on the desk that indicates you, um,

226
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: right key, wrong key. As you say the key, the

227
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: key symbol lights up and then sometimes it doesn't. Now,

228
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: keep keep in mind that key. For lack of a

229
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: better way to put it, as a transmitter, you're you're

230
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: plugging it into the switch and you're turning it and

231
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: it's looking to see, hey, is this really you? Is

232
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: this the right chip? But that transmitter has to be

233
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: read by a receiver, all right, which is which is

234
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: the transponder itself? And is that seeing correct information? And

235
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: and and that sort of comes back to the conversation

236
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: about what does the scan tools say. Does it say

237
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: that the key value is learned? Is it invalid or

238
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: is a virgin meaning it's new. It thinks it's the

239
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: first time it's seeing the key, And then it's a

240
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: question of why does I think it's seeing the key

241
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: for the first time. But you know, rather than guess,

242
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 1: we've got to go and you know, we've got to

243
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: get a scan, We've gotta get it looked at. From

244
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: that perspective, you recommend that and as soon as it happens,

245
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: just to bring it over to somebody, right, somebody's got

246
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: to be And I would first thing I would do,

247
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, is before the problem happens again,

248
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: if you're gonna use a local mechanic or the dealer,

249
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: whoever you're gonna use, I would get them to scan

250
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: the car. Now what does the information look like today? Right? Now?

251
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: Print it out here? It is boom, okay, this is known.

252
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: Good the next time it happens. Wow, here's what we're missing.

253
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: At least you've got something to compare it against. But yeah, absolutely,

254
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: as soon as the problem happens again. All right, sir,

255
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: all right, very good, thank you, you're very welcome. Good luck.

256
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: Let me know zero the car doctor is coming back

257
00:12:48,800 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: right after this. Right it on the wall, so you

00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: don't forget the call for car advice? Done right? Eight

259
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: five five zero nine zero zero. Now back to row

260
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: brought any of the car doctor. Let's go over up

261
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: to Quirky in Iowa. Quirky are you there? Yes? Around here? Yes, sir?

262
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: How can I help you? It's a long story then,

Speaker 1: brand new range rover. Who pulls up with a brand

266
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:38,160

Speaker 1: wife on it. Okay, she bought it one of the

271
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: new range Rovers. Okay, but anyway, the Manuel's I didn't

272
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: dinner rock to go to garage shale and buy a

283
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: trying to read the manual. Yeah, oh, cork, let me

284
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: tell you something, bib and don't take offense. But I

285
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be a weird show today because

286
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: it was a full moon last night, and and it's yeah,

287
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: it's like like I get it. Um, you're on information overload, right,

288
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: You're sit in the car and it's like sitting in

289
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: the cockpit of n f F sixteen. You're just like,

290
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: what are all the buttons and dials and knobs? And

291
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: did they give you any sort of um tutorial? Did

292
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: they sit with you and, you know, explain how this

293
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: works and that works? Or did they drop off the car,

294
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: handing of the keys and said it's yours. No, sir,

295
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: evidently she done that as a zealership. So so it's

296
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: her car. Or did she buy the car and she's

297
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: giving it to you? Is it your car? Her car? Okay?

298
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: And you're just talking about in terms of, you know,

299
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: explaining it to her just for your own knowledge. Yes,

300
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean I got a manual there, size of you know,

301
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: a telephone book. Sure, yeah, that's a new car and

302
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: that I don't have any knowledge on that. And all

303
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden I go to the oil. It takes

304
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: nine forks of oil. Sure, well, you're not gonna work

305
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: on it? No, But my thoughts are all our kids

306
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: live in California. All the kids live in California. So

307
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: if I take off in this land Rover, I get

308
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: across the Asca down to Salt Lake City, all the

309
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: way in California. If we break down, who's going to

310
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: work on it? Well? There that is a question, isn't it?

311
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: And I'm not being a wise guy. It's listen to

312
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: be honest with the quirky. You're better rough not knowing anything.

313
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: You better reforming a relationship with either a real good

314
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: mechanic or or the range Rover dealership, because you've got

315
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: to understand what you've got there. You've got a You've

316
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: got a real pedigreed thoroughbread. That vehicle is very exact,

317
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: and its demands and very exact, and it's it's it's

318
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: requirements for maintenance and repair. This is this is you

319
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: know again, don't take offense. You've been working on the

320
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: right brothers and and maybe a couple of World War

321
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: two vintage aircraft. You now have the right you You've

322
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: now got something that makes the Space Shuttle look antiquated

323
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: in your driveway. All right, there's there's there's so much

324
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: computer power on that vehicle and the way things interact

325
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: and modules and and it's just you own to do

326
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: you own a computer? By chance? Character professional drummers? Yeah,

327
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't get involved in the Internet. Such a waste

328
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: of time, you know what I mean? Yeah, I listen,

329
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: and here's the sad part, all right, the sad part

330
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: is that technology is forcing you to either deal with

331
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: this or just d Yeah, you know it's and it's

332
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: it's sad, man, it really is. You know it's it's

333
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: it's because there's no way anybody could explain that to you.

334
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna have to, you know, walk you through it

335
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: step by step. And this is the conversation. Could you

336
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: imagine if you had to go buy a new car

337
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: and this this was the only choice, you wouldn't be driving.

338
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: That's true. And and this is the conversation about how

339
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: the man is kind of forcing everybody to go with

340
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: the self driving cars because you know, hey, Corky, you

341
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about driving or pushing any button,

342
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: just getting the car and talk to it. I'll tell

343
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: you where you want to go. You know, I got

344
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: a family for window Bago, for party crisis. The hands

345
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: is then Neil Gushmore Headers five speed over and gear drift,

346
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, gear masters out of alcoholm California have been

347
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: to Canada. Yeah, and exactly, and the problem becomes off

348
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: to drive the motor homes? Is this Sampaign right exactly.

349
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: It's very mechanical. That's what you need, Hey, Quirky, Thank

350
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: you very much. Good luck to your babe, and stay

351
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: in touch. I'm running Any of the Car Doctor. We're

352
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: back right at brought any of the Car Doctor here,

353
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: welcome back. Eight by five zero nine zero zero for

354
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: quirky in Iowa. Um, I think that's where that was.

355
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 1: That was Iowa. We were we were talking about this,

356
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: Tom and I during the pause, and you know, think

357
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: of the technology that's in that range over, think of

358
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: the technology in any car. All right, What I did

359
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: on my what I did on my summer vacation, I

360
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: said the time, What I did this week? We were

361
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: we were if we had a staycation, it was I

362
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: gotta go back to work. I'm exhausted. But we we

363
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: we did a lot of you know, things that you

364
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: try to get done during the course of that moment

365
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: when you have some time. And we went car shopping.

366
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: We we purchased a new an Indian family vehicle. We

367
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: purchased a new Ford Explorer this week. And I was

368
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: telling Tom how Monday night coming the dealership has scheduled

369
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: a five o'clock appointment with us, you know, to sit

370
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: down and explain the workings of the car. And Tom said,

371
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: don't they know who you are. And I said, yeah,

372
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: but the cars in my wife's name. And I'm not

373
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: I'm not getting in the middle of this. And he

374
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 1: said why not? And I said, and quite frankly, you

375
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: ever teach your wife how to drive? Um? You know,

376
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't want to explain to my wife

377
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: how the new car worked because I want I want

378
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: somebody else to explain it to her, because I'm not

379
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: saying I'm all that knowledgeable on eighteen explorer because there's

380
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: a lot of bells and whistles, there's a couple of

381
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: knobs there that I'm going, what does that symbol mean?

382
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: Because it's it gets to be hieroglyphics. Uh, you know.

383
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: But the point is it's gonna take at least an hour,

384
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: they said. They said, plan at least an hour up

385
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: to an hour and a half to pick up the

386
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: vehicle and get your explanation, your tutorial. You gotta be kidding,

387
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: you know, whatever happened to the days of I'm here

388
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: right the check and out the door. Uh. It's so

389
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of technology and new cars. There's a

390
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: lot of procedures, there's a lot of programming and and

391
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: and you know, they said it has SYNC three and

392
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: we've got to connect the phone to the to the

393
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: you know, to the to the dashboard and how we

394
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: get music. And it's overwhelming to a point. And then

395
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: what happens when it stops, um, fifteen minutes before show

396
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: today and the computer has been getting me a problem?

397
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: My my, my, the there's a computer here in studio that, um,

398
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: we just used for paperwork and it died and it's

399
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: been it's been doing this off and on it. It

400
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: goes into this weird reboot and it's going to get

401
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: a new computer. But the point becomes, you know, technology,

402
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, when does it fail? You never know, and

403
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,479
Speaker 1: that's and that's part of the problem. And we've come

404
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: to depend upon it an automobile, so um, you know,

405
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: just I'll let you know how the tutorial goes after

406
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: and the Actually it's smart that you're doing that, because

407
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: then it's somebody else's problem if it doesn't work, well,

408
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: it's you know, tom. It becomes it becomes a case

409
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: of you know, sometimes sometimes it's kind of like they

410
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: don't let a doctor treat his family right if somebody

411
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: gets sick. It's hard to explain new cars to especially

412
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: to the wife unit it just doesn't. It just doesn't work.

413
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: It's you know, you answer the questions when they ask you, don't.

414
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: You don't explain from the beginning. It's it's And frankly,

415
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm not a hundred percent on the car. I want

416
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: to get some knowledge out of it too. I want

417
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 1: to see what they have to say. But the point is,

418
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: can you imagine come pick up your new car. It's

419
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: gonna take at least an hour, up to an hour

420
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: and a half for explanation of how everything operates. That's

421
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: the amount of technology. And I'm sure it's longer than that.

422
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure depending upon how computer literate some people are

423
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: aren't um, it could take longer. Poor guy like Quirky,

424
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: the guy doesn't even own a computer, and he's he's

425
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: got more computing power. Think of it like this. Quirky

426
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: has more computing power in the four wheels in that

427
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: car that's in his driveway than he has in his house.

428
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Email good afternoon, Rhyn to listen to your

429
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: show every weekend while I mow the lawn. For a

430
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: few years now, usually catching on podcasts and never miss

431
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: a week Thanks for all you do to help bring

432
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: attention to the industry, it changes and the importance it's changes.

433
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's changes and the importance of protecting where

434
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: we are going. I have a question on tires. My

435
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: wife has a twelve Chevy Traverse LTZ twenty inch wheels

436
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: with eight two tho miles on it that need new tires.

437
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: They're worn low. You used to talk about General tires

438
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: a lot. I'm looking with my guy at bridge Stone,

439
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: Firestone Mastercraft. He can get General, but does not work

440
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: with them often and does not have experience with them.

441
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: The judge by he can get me the General tire grabbers.

442
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: I know there is more than the brand to consider.

443
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: Specific model detail is important, but when it comes to brand,

444
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: all of the things being equal, do you still recommend

445
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: General tires? Yes? Do you talk about them less because

446
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: their sponsorship expired? Did something change your opinion? Um? This

447
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: is from who justin? Justin Let me speak directly to you, babe. Um,

448
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: their sponsorship expired, but it doesn't change my opinion. There's

449
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: sponsorship actually came about because I liked General tires then

450
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: and I like General tires now. As a matter of fact, Um,

451
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: we we we we seems like we're selling more General

452
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: tires now UM in the last couple of weeks than

453
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: we had prior when they were actually sponsoring the show.

454
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: It just sometimes that's just the way things rotate around.

455
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: But I still like General Tire. I still think they

456
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: are a good product. Um. There are quite a few

457
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: products are quite quite a few good tire companies out there.

458
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: General Cooper Um. I don't think Michelin is what it

459
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: once was. I still think they are a good company.

460
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: And I think some of the up and coming I

461
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: think Perelli bridge Stone is still there, and Firestone is there.

462
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say what I always say, uh, justin and

463
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you're gonna get this. I hope

464
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: you do in that in terms of the email in time,

465
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: because I see this was this is about a month ago,

466
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: so I'm neglect I'm I'm falling behind my email pile. Um.

467
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: Is that the most important thing to consider about tire replacement,

468
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: or one of the most important is how current a

469
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: model are you considering? All right? And I always try

470
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: to tell people it's kind of like buying um, uh,

471
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: you know day old bread. Um, it's old, it's you know,

472
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's not the current model and if

473
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: you have to, you don't get to it fast enough

474
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: a go stale. You want to make sure that you

475
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: buy a current model tire that if a year or

476
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: a year and a half from now, two years from now,

477
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: you can still get another one. Because the way cars

478
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: are made today, all wheel drive tire size is critical.

479
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: And even changing a model within a particular tire line.

480
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: You buy a general tire and it's brand A. I'm sorry,

481
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 1: it's Model A. And then you know a year later

482
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: that model A you need one tire because it needs

483
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: to be replaced no longer availablehen you gotta buy model

484
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: By even buying different models within the same manufacturer can

485
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 1: show differences in diameter. It becomes a case of and

486
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: not to mention where all right, because where diameter all

487
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: that stuff comes into effect. But um, you know you

488
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: want to just be certain you know how new of

489
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: a model is that tire within the line. On a

490
00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: side note, I always try to support the brands that

491
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: supp you. Thank you justin I really do appreciate that,

492
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: knowing that you would not take marketing dollars at the

493
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: properties listening fit for the purpose. Boy, you guys should

494
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: see some of the things we turned down. Um, you'd

495
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: be amazed. And maybe that's why this radio show isn't uh,

496
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: maybe it's really why it's not better known, if I

497
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: can say it like that. But yeah, Ron's not for sale.

498
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm always curious when your endorsements change, if it's because

499
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: of your opinion of the product or simply business changes

500
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: the time. Justin it's it's business changes, um, And I'll

501
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: tell you what changes sponsorships more than anything if we

502
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: want to talk about the radio and business as long

503
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: as we're at the subject of cars for a second,

504
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: is believe or not. Usually what changes endorsements is somebody

505
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: new comes into the marketing department, some new whizband guy

506
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: with a great idea, and he's gonna take the company

507
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,880
Speaker 1: in a different direction. And we've had a few come

508
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: back as a result of those great guys. Funny how

509
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: the marketing guy doesn't seem to be with them any longer.

510
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: And we've had a few that just um, you know,

511
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: they come back, they talk to us and they never

512
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: pull the trigger again. So that's the business side of this.

513
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: But um, rest assured. I'm still up here doing my job.

514
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: I'm trying to bring to you guys all of you. Uh,

515
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: things that I believe in, things that I use and

516
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 1: uh that's why when you hear me talk about it,

517
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: I've either used it and most of the times I have,

518
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: or you know, if it's at all possible, or I've

519
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: I've worked with it enough that I have faith in

520
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: it because I'm just trying to you know, Ron's not

521
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: for sale. I'm interested in European on my tires. I

522
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: know you're busy. I appreciate you taking time reading it

523
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: justin I'm sorry Madison, Wisconsin, and don't get to it sooner.

524
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,479
Speaker 1: But that's the deal, kiddo. If you can get generals,

525
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: they're good. Out of the out of the three choices

526
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: you gave me, the bridge Stone, the Firestone, and the

527
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: master Craft. I've heard of master Craft. I know they're

528
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: the cheaper generic line for somebody else. I would probably

529
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: go with the Um again, depending upon models bridge Stone

530
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: or Firestone. I would take either one of those two,

531
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: depending upon which tire Um is the more current model

532
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: in that particular line. And also all else being equal,

533
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: treadware and traction, which are the markers that you can

534
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: find on the tire itself. So I hope this gets

535
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: the adjusted, and good luck mowing the lawn. Just think

536
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: it'll be snow and soon in Wisconsin you'll be shovel

537
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: on it instead. Sorry buddy had to bring it up.

538
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: We should all appreciate the rest of the summer. I'm

539
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: running any in the card doctor five zero nine zero,

540
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: and I'm back right after this. Welcome back. We're on

541
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: name of the card doctorate by five five zero nine

542
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: zero zero. Let's good without the Dan in Maryland, Oh

543
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: three f three fifty Dan. We've talked about this truck before. Correct. Yes,

544
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: this is the no radio, no power window vehicle. And

545
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: I wanted you to scan this and you're probably gonna

546
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: tell me you have no fault codes none. Okay, that's good.

547
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: That's okay. Now when you scan, let me just make

548
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: sure you used you went in specific eear make model,

549
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: not just O b D two. O b D two.

550
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's what I did. Okay, Yeah, that's and

551
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that's my fault that maybe I didn't clarify

552
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: that enough. But you want to look at O b

553
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: D two. Um, and there's a good, good, good lesson

554
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: here for everybody. UM. O b D two is an

555
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: emissions related fault. System. All right, so let me ask you.

556
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: Do you think if the radio is not working and

557
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: the power windows aren't working, is that an emissions problem? Well?

558
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think so, right, exactly so, And here's a

559
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: classic example of that. This is the difference. Okay o

560
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: b D two information is specifically geared towards emissions. Power windows,

561
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: radio manufacturer full So you need you need to go

562
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: in with a scan tool that will read manufacturer specific information.

563
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: And I apologize, I don't recall saying that last week. Um.

564
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: Actually yeah, UM, you know so that that's what you

565
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: want to say. But let me you got a pencil

566
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: and a piece of paper, okay, um, because I wanted to.

567
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: I I actually printed out a sheet for you because

568
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: I was expecting an email from you. Um, and if

569
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: you send me then email, I will send you this.

570
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: But I printed out something um with regard. I did

571
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: some research on this, and I went back through notes

572
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: and I found a couple of pattern failures in the database. UM.

573
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: Probably the easiest place to start if if if, if

574
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: this is a case cluster is is not working in

575
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: the radio in the power windows don't work. I just

576
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: wanted did we talk about fuses last week or the

577
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: last time we spoke. Okay, central junction box, which is

578
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: the one inside the vehicle. Take a look at fuses

579
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: thirty three, thirty five and forty one, and respectively, those

580
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: are a fifteen amp, a ten amp, a ten amp,

581
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: and a ten amp. So the first one is a

582
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: fifteen am, the rest of them are ten And you

583
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: want to look to see do you have voltage on

584
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: both sides of the fuses. But but watch this all right, um,

585
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, try wining them around and you know, do

586
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: you still have do you still have the voltage? What

587
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: I have seen forge in particular do is they will

588
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: actually put a little burn mark, you know, depending upon

589
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: the current flow, they will put a little burn mark

590
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: right on the spade part of the fuse, and it

591
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: it access resistance. It's a burnt spot, right, and it'll

592
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: it'll cause all sorts of erratic I had a I

593
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: think it was a third twelve No, I'm sorry at

594
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: ten a ten f one fifty pick up with a

595
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: fuel pump problem. And it wasn't the pump wasn't anything related.

596
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: It was the fuse itself that fed the circuit had

597
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: a burnt contact in the box. All right, now, it

598
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: got down to the point where I can wiggle the

599
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: fuse and make the voltage fluctuate. And I said, all right.

600
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't normally like to just randomly start pulling fuses

601
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: because I'm concerned about the memory resets and losses of

602
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: of things elsewhere. So but in this case, I had

603
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: no choice. Key off, popa fuse, one at a time.

604
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: Just look at the spade, just you know, real quick, okay, good,

605
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: put it back in, and then one at the time.

606
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: Go through the list. Um the rest of it. You'll

607
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: see in this conversation it talks about checking a couple

608
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: of grounds. One behind the instrument cluster, uh, one at

609
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: the back of the uh firewall. I believe it's gonna say,

610
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: um and the left hand kick panel. But you're gonna

611
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: have to dig up and find out where those two

612
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: particular grounds go. I don't want to take you on

613

624
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: it's systematic, it's hard, dramatic. What's grist lightning? Okay, welcome

626
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: That's Westport, Mass I apologize. Um, I would get my

627
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: masks in Maine. You know they both begin with him. Yeah,

628
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: that's alright. Mains mains cool too. Yeah, I take it, man.

629
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: So let's go and rumple. Um. I got a twenty

630
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: fifteen FOURD escape And I've been told when you replace

631
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: the battery, the starting battery, I was told two different things.

632
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: One person told me that you have to go in

633
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: with a scan tool and reset the battery life monitor.

634
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: And then another person told me that after you put

635
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,239
Speaker 1: the battery and you leave the car undisturbed for like

636
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: eight to ten hours and it will re learn by itself. Well,

637
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: it sounds like an a s C test who's right mechanic,

638
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: A mechanic, b or both. Um, I'm gonna I'm gonna vote.

639
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, actually, Dan neither because well, the first

640
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: guy is probably the closest. I like the idea about

641
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: resetting the BLM Battery Life monitor, because that's what you

642
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: have to do on Ford products. You have to do.

643
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: You have to use a scan tool, and you do

644
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: have to educate it and tell the computer, hey, I

645
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 1: changed the battery and let it get used to that,

646
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: and it does affect charge rate. But the second comment

647
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: about eight to ten hours, not, that's not Can you imagine, right,

648
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: hey in the car into the shop on Monday, I'll

649
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: see you Tuesday. We're gonna put a battery in it.

650
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: Um maybe someday, but we're not there yet. So what

651
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: you do need to do is UM through the O

652
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: B D two port the little connector under the dash

653
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: um by the steering wheel, is use a battery, a

654
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: battery saver, a memory saver. So you know, if you're

655
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: gonna do this, that's clearly a reason to have one

656
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: of those tools. Um, you know it being a motocraft

657
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: battery you know on the car since New Paul um

658
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: pretty much and it had like miles on them. It's

659
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: probably the original Motocraft battery in there that you purchased knew.

660
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's the same battery, just you know, to

661
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: give you a peace of mind. And you know, first

662
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: we'll have the first, we'll have the here's what I think,

663
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: we'll have the brother in law conversation, because they always

664
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: seem to know more than anybody in that If a

665
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: brother in law said to me, hey, my your motocraft

666
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: battery is good for probably four to five years, I

667
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: would tend to agree with that. The motocraft batteries are

668
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: retty tough. They seemed to last a good long time. Um.

669
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: That being said, the mechanic in me will say to you,

670
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: after the third going on fourth winter, I am going

671
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: to start doing a battery load test at least twice

672
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: a year, which is really becoming part of and parcel

673
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: of that oil change service. And you know that's it's

674
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: I had a conversation this morning, um with someone I

675
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 1: was at the I was at the local Ford dealer

676
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: making arrangements for the wife's new road and I had

677
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: order a few things from the parts department. I was

678
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: talking to a young man who worked at the local

679
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: firestone and we're having a conversation and I looked like

680
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: a civilian. I wasn't wearing my work clothes, and um,

681
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, he's explaining to me how they're surviving now

682
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: doing oil changes and quick and fast. And you know,

683
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: I was trying to explain to him, did you ever

684
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: think that maybe doing battery tests during the course of

685
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: those oil changes might be part of the process. And

686
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: I really kind of got his wheel spinning. So, um,

687
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: things are gonna change. They're gonna change very quickly in

688
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: the coming years. And um, that's the procedure, Paul. Thank you.

689
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: Until the next time, everybody, I'm on any in the car, doctor,

690
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: good mechanics aren't expense if they're priceless, see it. She
