1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: There was an idea to bring together a group of

2
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: remarkable people to see if we could become Ron and Anian.

3
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: It's like when you live eating, breathe cars, you know.

4
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: So last night, after five days of fixing cars, what

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: do you do on Friday night? You drive over to

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,840

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: in the Shelby Mustang, which was kind of cool. That

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: was that was sort of a fun deal, that car doctor.

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: I have previously talked to you about this thing. I

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: first went to a GM dealer to traded buy the

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: pressure switch stick goes on the back of the steering

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: reservoir and you you can't get that now, ye, So

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: I went to the salvage you heard for forty eight bucks.

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: I got a chip to my door and it cured

15

Speaker 1: I thought it was coming up. I was around that neighborhood. Um.

70
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: And it's interesting what you say here. You start talking about,

71
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, building a hot rod, getting a muscle car together,

72
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: and some of the changing trends and the way you're

73
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: seeing you know, what people want, Um, what's hot right now?

74
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: What are you're seeing out there in the way of

75
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: muscle cars? What are people chasing? Well, probably the latest thing.

76
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: I see a lot of guys with the eighties and

77
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: nineties styles cars. That's a different generation that's getting involved,

78
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: which is a good thing. At least they're getting involved

79
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: versus the older cars that you and I do have,

80
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: right Yeah, Um, yeah, I was. I was at the

81
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: Boot and Car show here in North jo And you're

82
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: familiar with Booting, but I was up there in Booting

83
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: last night and there was a seventy eight Pinto in

84
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: the park a lot and I said, no, this can't be.

85
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: But you know, I guess I it's it's what everybody

86
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: enjoyed from high school, right. I think it goes back

87
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: to as the generations get older, it's their high school

88
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: car and what they want to drive. What we've been

89
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: doing on a lot of cars, even like your fifty

90
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: five is we're putting fuel injection, putting five species. Well,

91
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: these eighties cars already have all that and it's just

92
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: something that they had a poster in their wall back

93
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: when they were in high school like we did. Yeah. Um,

94
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: you know you've been doing the car show in Waldwick

95
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: now for ten years. As you said, if you think

96
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: back over the ten years, has I guess the answer

97
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: is yes. But the style and the breed of cars

98
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: has changed, probably dramatically. Yeah. If there was a couple

99
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: of eighties style cars back in the day, there's gonna

100
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: be quite a more of this year than there's ever been. Um,

101
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: that's just a generation they're changing. That's good. I mean

102
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: I recently bought an Iraq Z and I can say

103
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: I really enjoy it. Well, and I gotta tell you

104
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: there was a really neat uh seventy eight Iraq yesterday

105
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: or last night of putting it just you know what. Yeah,

106
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: you look at and you go, wow, I remember those,

107
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: And I guess that's what car shows are about, right,

108
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: It's it's the memory and seeing something you haven't seen

109
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: in maybe twenty five years. Uh. If they're not the

110
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: most powerful cars, at least stock they weren't, but at

111
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: least they weren't reliable. Right, So if somebody's out there

112
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: in your opinion, Um, and I know you buy a

113
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: lot of cars. By the way, I should ask your

114
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: wife's not listening today, right, how many? How many cars

115
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: are in they want to make your collection? Now? Yeah?

116
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: Are you sure? If you listen? You know, how do

117
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: you how do you count them all? Chucky? I mean, well,

118
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: I say it that way because they have some cars

119
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: in our projects that ain't done, so I really wouldn't

120
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: consider them done. But that's always been the case. We have,

121
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: you know, quite a few little cars that we got

122
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: involved with. But I just brought a two in modern

123
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: cars in the eighties and nineties buried somewhere in the

124
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: bowels of the cat skills. Is this collection correct? Yes? Yeah,

125
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: that's right am today? Actually, Um, yeah, Um, the bar

126
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: and the project is all done. You have your little

127
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: Wanna Maker museum up there. Yes, yeah, Um, we're gonna

128
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,359

129
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: a remote from the Wanta Maker Museum. Um, that would

130
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: be a good YouTube channel expose. Uh, that would be awesome. Yeah,

131
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: I bet there is. UM, let's talk about next weekend.

00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of new Mustangs and Calendars and Camaros

156
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: that do show up and these guys there are storeboard cars,

157
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: but they change them draft dramatically. Um, So there is

158
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: a separate class of those guys. Otherwise we got top

159
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: thirty five, which could be a thirty two four or

160
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: it could be the seventy eight pin though you're just

161
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: talking about it. There's a lot in that class. Um,

162
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: we have an import we have a truck class. Um

163
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: most likely to get pulled over. There's plenty of cars

164
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: out there there shouldn't be on the road, and these

165
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: guys do bring them to us, so they end up

166
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: getting an award for that. It's kind of a fun thing.

167
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: We have the judges. They have to pick. Um, that's

168
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: about it, and we have a best to show like

169
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: every like everybody does what did you what did you

170
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: add to the water? I want to make your collection

171
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: this year? Um, well, I've mentioned I go with a

172
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: couple of eighties cards about in Iraq z it's an

173
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: eight eight with like forty thou miles. Onto really coming

174
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: up and value those cars are eighty nine I'm sorry

175
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: Grand National, well in eighty seven. Grand National. Yeah, they've

176
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: always been worth a few bucks, and it seems like

177
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: it's climbing. Yeah, I really love to have a g

178
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: n X, but they're a hundred and fifty dollar car

179
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: right now. The regular Grand Nationals, those are at least

180
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: somewhat affordable, But no one I bought eight thousand miles,

181
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: So it's climbing in price every day that we own it. Um,

182
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: some classics, A fifty seven Chevy and those kind of cars.

183
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: He bought a few will them. I had a friend

184
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: list this week. He's a young man in the service

185
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: and he was talking he's home from Afghanistan. He was

186
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: talking about buying his first muscle car, and I thought

187
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: about our conversation we were gonna have today and he's

188
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: out trying to find an eighty three to eighty seven

189
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: s S Monte Carlo, and and I had to walk

190
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: him down the list of what to look for, and

191
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: you know, how to go about finding it. And you know,

192
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 1: even those cars now I don't know where they I

193
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: don't know what the real number is. But we saw

194
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: a lot of nice cars. We were looking together online

195
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: and you see a lot of nice cars fifty five

196
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: grand and and you know, you ask yourself, well that

197
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: ever become a hundred and fifty thousand dollar car? But

198
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: I guess you never really know. It depends on which

199
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: way the market takes it. He has a generation to

200
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: generations was driving the value of these cars. Um the

201
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: older older guys they really liked to the thirties and

202
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: at these cars aren't so much into it as much

203
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: as now as the guys that are fifty years old

204
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: that are more into the modern eighty nineties cars that

205
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: they really had back in the day is always what

206
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: they had back in the day. Is when it comes

207
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: down to, So do you think it ever gets to

208
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: the point where you know that thirty two for five

209
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: window coop goes down in price, or that that big

210
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: block Camaro from the sixties goes down in price, maybe

211
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: not in the next ten years, but maybe twenty five

212
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: years from now. You know, it's just Dad's older, noisy car.

213
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: I guess we wish we all didn't do that, for sure,

214
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: although we all would have bought Dodge Daytona's and we

215
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: will be a little retired right about and happy one

216
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: went crazy for him. But twenty years from now those

217
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: cars be worth half a million dollars. How do we know?

218
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: You just don't know. Maybe the Iraq Z or my

219
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: grand Nation with low miles I'll be worth a hundred thousand.

220
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: I can only hope. Um. But it's it's all the

221
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: guys that drive it. We see it at the meek

222
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: of car auctions. There's guys fighting over eighties style, nineties style,

223
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: or even a fifty seven Chevy. They want what they

224
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: want that price, that car went crazy. If you could

225
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: pull one car atti your collection and drive it this weekend, Chuck,

226
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: what's it gonna be? You know, we just bought a

227
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: sixty nine vet so I actually I'm anxious to go

228
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: take that for a ride. To be honest with you, Now,

229
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: are are most of the cars stock production vehicles? So

230
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: when you drive that sixty nine vet is it going

231
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: to be sixty nine technology or is it modified? So

232
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: it's got four speed, barebone stock car. But it's really

233
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: really nice car, and I just haven't that chance. I

234
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: bought it a couple of weeks ago. We fixed up

235
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: some things on yesterday. I'm anxious to drive it today.

236
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: Probably do you ever get in those cars and go, really,

237
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: this is the way it was? I guess I'm so

238
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: used to I drive a seventy style car and to me,

239
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: they drive mindless compared to my thirty two coup that's

240
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: a handful. Um so, I guess some of those are

241
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: so easy to drive compared to the older ones. Right, Yeah,

242
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's the hobby of of of hot

Speaker 1: Let's get on over and talk to Let's go to

316
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: Walter in Nebraska seventy four Chevy Caprice and some brake

317
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: pedal issues. Welcome Walter. How can I help, sir Ronini

318
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: and at your service? Hi, Um, I've, like you said,

319
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: I've got a seventy four Chevy Caprice Classic and have

320
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: break problems. One day, it just the brake pedal went

321
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: to the floor and stayed there. I could pull it

322
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: back up with my foot and replace it, but it

323
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: just stays down. Uh that not everybody said, Oh, it's

324
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: the power unit and the master cylinder says okay, So

325
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: I replaced that, put a new one in and the

326
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: same old problem goes to the floor, stays there. Uh,

327
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: can't get it come back up. Kind of frustrated, and

328
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: I thought maybe i'd call you instead of trying to

329
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: guestimate what what's going on there. All right, so let's

330
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: let's try and figure this out. Um. First of all,

331
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: because it's it's it's an older car. I mean, I

332
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: graduated high school in seventy four, so we're going back

333
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: aways here. Um, if I remember it was, it was

334
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: horse buggy and then seventy four caprices came along. That's

335
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: how long ago this was. So yeah, it was. But

336
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: you know what does that car? Listen? Are you able

337
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: to really drive that in Nebraska? I don't think the

338
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: state's big enough. Um, seventy you can fit ten people

339
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: in the trunk. Don't ask me how I know. So, Uh,

340
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: you know what I would do is I'm curious is

341
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: this related to the pedal? And I'm just talking here?

342
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: Is this related to the pedal? Or is this on

343
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: the other side booster master somewhere down the lawn. I

344
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: wonder what would happen if you if you unplugged the booster,

345
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: pulled it off the firewall and stroke the pedal. Does

346
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: the pedal move free or is there any binding in

347
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: the pedal assembly itself? Uh, it doesn't seem to be, okay,

348
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: and there may not be, but I just I just

349
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: want to cover the bases, all right. So, like I said,

350
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: I I've I've replaced the the unit with the new

351
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: unit already, and I you know, and it's it does

352
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: the very same thing. We'll just remember what new means

353
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about new a little later on this

354
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: hour because I had a couple of new cases. Get

355
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: me this week to new means never ever worked. Um So,

356
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: when the pedal goes to the floor, is it is

357
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: it right on the floor? Walter? Yeah, pretty much down,

358
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: So it's all the way and it just sticks there. Yep,

359
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: all the way down, sticks there, and I can pull

360
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: it back up with my mut and toe of my

361
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: shoe and pull it back, but it's very very hard

362
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: to pull back. So when it's all the way on

363
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: the floor, if you were to unbolt the master, the

364
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: master is probably going to come forward as you're unbolting it, correct,

365
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: I would think, so, I would think so showing that

366
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: the booster has extended, because all this is is there's

367
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: a push rod on the pedal going into the booster,

368
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: which push rod it which goes into the master, and

369
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: then the master makes hydraulic pressure. So just for giggles,

370
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: put it on the floor, all right, get it to

371
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: go to the floor, and then you know, just slowly

372
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: back off each nutter turn at the time boom boom boom,

373
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: boom boom, And if you see the masters start to

374
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: come forward, tighten it back up. I just want to

375
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: see is the push rod really forward? All right? That's

376
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: number one. Number two, get a shop rag and crack

377
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: one of the lines at the master. Is it? Is

378
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: it under pressure? And I guess you could actually do

379
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: that first instead of taking the master off. But I

380
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: want to know for the pedal to physically go to

381
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: the floor. All right, let me ask you this question

382
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: before it goes to the floor. Is it a good pedal? Uh? Yeah,

383
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: I'd say it's good. It's it's so so I's enough

384
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: if I if I pull it up, I'm able to.

385
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: I can drive the car and it will it'll stop

386
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: the car if I push it down. But it's sticking

387
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: down and I have to pull it pull it back up. Okay,

388
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to think. I had to ask this

389
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: question if you hit the pedal. Here's the here's what

390
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I want you to think about this when

391
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: I when I pull over for this break, Walter, and

392
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: I'll come back to you when you step on the break.

393
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: If you step on the break ten times, is it

394
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: eight times it's a good pedal. Two times it's a

395
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: bad pedal. And that's the answer that I need. And

396
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: then I can tell you where we're gonna go from it.

397
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: So don't go away while you think about that. I'm

398
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: Ronny in the car Doctor recruising back right after this,

399
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: don't go away and the car goes hand, the card

400
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: goes I'm gonna traveling nail in five going riding in

401
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: a car. Ron, it's time to get back to do

402
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: the show. I don't want to. The song's not over

403
00:18:53,400 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: yet right now. Okay, whether it's a little red Corvette

404
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: or you go, you've come to the right place to

405
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: get that car fixed. Ron and Andy in the car

406
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: Doctor five five zero zero zero. Now back to n

407
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you goo was really a car, Tom,

408
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a fair statement. When you

409
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: go came out. I tell this story every time, and

410
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: it's stuck with me all this time. When when Car

411
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: and Driver reviewed the you go there, there's parting comment was,

412
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: here's a car that has a four speed shifter that

413
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: shifts with all the precision of a baseball bat and

414
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: a barrel of coconuts. And I'll never I'll never forget

415
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: that line as long as I lived. Yeah, I just

416
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: I was floored. I just and they were right. Those

417
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: cars were just wow. Uh, that was the first disposable car.

418
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: Wasn't there some manufacturer that was putting those in the

419
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: trunk as a spare car instead of a spare tire.

420
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: I don't remember that, but I mean that really was

421
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: the first. You would never see you go as a

422
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: self driving car because it wouldn't go anywhere. It would

423
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: be the very safest society because you would be able

424
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: to get over twenty miles an hour with it, but

425
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: it would just be like wowser. So anyway, let's go

426
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: back to Walter. Walter, you're still there, Walter, Yes? Or so,

427
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: so you know, ten ten times you hit the brake pedal,

428
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: how many times does it work and how many times

429
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: doesn't it? I'd say it's consistent. Okay, So every time

430
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: you step on this brake pedal, now the pedal goes

431
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: to the floor and it sticks all right, exactly if

432
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: if if you if you start the engine, is there

433
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: a red brake light on on the dashboard? Okay? So

434
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: when you pull the pedal back and you step on

435
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: it again, you still have a bad pedal. Have you

436
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: tried bleeding? Does bleeding this pedal make any difference? Uh?

437
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: We've I've led the master. So okay, have you bled?

438
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: Have you bled the wheels? I have not. You have

439
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: to bleed the wheels. Um, you know, unless you're less

440
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: you're very good. I'm not saying you're not. But unless

441
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: you're very good and you do it in a very

442
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: specific manner, you can get away without having to bleed

443
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: the wheels hanging a master. It has been done. We

444
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: there's a method we'll do at the shop where we'll

445
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: catch it just right. Um. I still prefer to bleed wheels,

446
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: but there it has been known to work. But until

447
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: you you know, get and make sure that there's no

448
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: air at the wheels themselves. That's that's step one, alright,

449
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: step two. So then you come back next week and

450
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: you say, hey, Ron, I bled all four wheels. I've

451
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: got clean fluid, all right. And this car will have

452
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: a prop valve. This will have a brass prop proportioning

453
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: valve mounted on the left frame rail in the area

454
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: of or around the area of the master cylinder. Because

455
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: this is a front disc rear drum car if I

456
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: remember right, Yeah, so this has a prop valve on it.

457
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: You've got to make sure the prop valve is centered. Now,

458
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: if you. Um, it could, And that's why I'm asking

459
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: about the brake light. When you turn the key to

460
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: the on position but don't start the engine, does a

461
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: red brake light come on? UM take a look. I

462
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: don't think so. Okay, I might be wrong, but I don't.

463
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: I don't think so, because the red brake light was

464
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: there should be a red brake light to warn when

465
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: the prop valve is out of balance. The red brake

466
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: light came on for two reasons. One parking brake was

467
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: on or two the break proportioning valve was pitched one

468
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: way or the other, and the little needle inside the

469
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: prop valve was grounded. All right, there's a there's there's

470
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: a spool valve in there that would move. So if

471
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't, and we just want to know, all right,

472
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: you know it's it's and it would be very simple.

473
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: There's a brown wire, a beige wire on the prop valve.

474
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: I believe you ground that. There shouldn't be any voltage there,

475
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: but I would check for voltage. But there shouldn't be

476
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: any voltage there. If you ground that, and you can

477
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: do it through a fused ground, make up a fuse

478
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: jumper wire, ground that that red brake light on the

479
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: dashboard should come on. If it doesn't, then you know,

480
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: maybe the bulb is burned out, and that's something else

481
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: to be aware of. That's just you know, something else

482
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: is wrong. So that that that being said, let's bleed

483
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: the wheels, all right, Let's look at the prop valve,

484
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: and then i'd want to know if you still have

485
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: a bad break pedal in this car. There are ways

486
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: how many lines go to this master too? Okay? Can

487
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: we find some brass plugs that will block off the master?

488
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: Bleed the master, put the plugs in it, and we

489
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: should have a rock hard pedal. You don't get a

490
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: rock hard pedal, then you've got a bad new part

491
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: new never worked. All right, So those are your steps.

492
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: That's your homework this week. You call me back next

493
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: week and we'll take it from there. Okay, all right, Walter, Yes, sir,

494
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: you let me know what happened. Kind of frustrating. Yeah, no, No,

495
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's it's a it's a basic system.

496
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: There's there's not a lot there. Listen, that's why it's

497
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: why it's frustrating. It shouldn't be a problem. We had.

498
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: We had a very nice young man. He's he's he's

499
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: friends of my mechanic Dan. He showed up yesterday. He's

500
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: studying to become a police officer in one of the

501
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: nearby towns and he's working on his own car. He

502
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of money. He's got, uh what's

503
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: he driving. He's driving like an oweight crown VIC and

504
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: an old police car. Right, kids die hard, true and true,

505
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: and you're just trying to you know, you gotta help

506
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: the next generation, right, you're trying to raise the take

507
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: the village, to raise the child mentality. He doesn't have

508
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: a lot of du so he put calipers and pads

509
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: on it. He's got a crumby brake pedal. Danny said,

510
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: can we try power bleeding it for him? I said, yeah,

511
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: bring it and he brings it in the kids really

512
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: upset and frustrated. We put it up in the air

513
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: and said, let's just look at the basics. Let's, you know,

514
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: before we start hooking up tools and just pressure bleeding

515
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: things and so forth. Um, he had the calipers on

516
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: the wrong side, so he had the left caliper on

517
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: the right side, the right caliper on the left side,

518
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: and consequently that means that the bleeder is pointed down

519
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: instead of up, and I mean, rookie mistake. But you

520
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: can't knock him for trying. I had Danny switched to calipers.

521
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: Took us a half hour out of the day. It

522
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: was our good deed for the day, and we move on.

523
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: But you know what he said, I just couldn't figure

524
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: it out. And he says, and here's the scare part.

525
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: He goes, I took it the three garages. Everybody looked

526
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: at it. Nobody could tell me what was wrong. I said.

527
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: I hate to bother Danny, but I know Danny, Daniel

528
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 1: help me fix it. And um, you know it's it's

529
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: he said, I'm really relieved. So you know, there's a

530
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: kid that was really frustrated. Like you trust me, when

531
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: we figure this out, you'll be just as relieved, all right, sir.

532
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: But it always, it always seems like it's something very

533
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: simple after you figure it out. Oh yeah, out stick

534
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: around later on later on this hour, I'm gonna talk

535
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: about the oh three tahoe that had a bad spark

536
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: plug wire that I mean, just how how much damage

537
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: could one spark plug wire? Do you gotta hear the

538
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: whole story? So um, we're gonna talk about that a

539
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: little later on this hour. But that's your homework for today.

540
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: You do that and call me next dake, let me

541
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: know what's going on. All right, Okay, thank you very much.

542
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: You're very welcome, sir. You're very welcome. You take good care.

543
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: Let's go over to Charlie real quick in Florida. Oh

544
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: five Priceler Town and Country. Yes, Charlie running any in

545
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: the car? Doctor? How can I help? Actually taking my call?

546
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Um, I have a two thousand five Chrysler

547
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: Town and County Tree and winch. Your wiper chatter is

548
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: driving me crazy. Um. About eight weeks ago I went

549
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: on a kick to put all new wiper blades on

550
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: all my cars. Everything was fine. I used the same

551
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: brand on all of them, and except the Town and Country.

552
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: When I turned on the windshield wipers, they just chattered

553
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: like mad? What brand wipers are using, Charlie. I started

554
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: out with Michelin. Okay, you know I bought them someplace

555
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: at a big box store and they would achieve. But

556
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, they make tires, they can't make really bad blades. Um.

557
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: So I cleaned the windshield and I mean I really

558
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: cleaned it with every known detergent and solvent known to mankind.

559
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: Didn't make any difference. I went out and I bought

560
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: new blades. I bought Treaco flex blades, which we was,

561
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, a single beam. Um, did not make any difference.

562
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: Some rainex helped a little bit until it ran back

563
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: and forth, maybe ten or fifteen times. Then you kind

564
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: of wiped the rainecks off. Clean the wind shoel again

565
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,479
Speaker 1: even more. All right, here's here's here's what I want

566
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: you to do. I gotta tell you the rest. I

567
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: bought a new windshield. Oh my god, the wind shield

568
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: put in turn it on, still chattered. Okay, I got

569
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: rid of those blades. I bought another set of treacle blades.

570
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: Is the same type. Put them on the same thing. Now,

571
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: um calling you. Okay, So before we sell the car

572
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: um and and and we go that route, I will

573
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: tell you and this is a long wiper blade? Is

574
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: a blade? Yeah, These blades like they stretch from here

575
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: to the end of your arm. And um you know

576
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: it's well, it's because if you ever get stuck in

577
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: a bad part of town, you can take the blades

578
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: off and and and beat the guy who's trying to

579
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: break into the cards. It's like a safety mechanism. Um,

580
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the long blades and not just that.

581
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't just use them in the long blade application.

582
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: I use them in the short blade application too. I

583
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: think if and they're not cheap, but boy they are.

584
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: You know, you get what you pay for. I still

585
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 1: like the icons. I still think it is flat out

586
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: one of the best blades on the market. They work

587
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: very well. I've got very long blades on my plow truck.

588
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: If I put anything but bosh icons on it, they chatter,

589
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: they smooth, they skip, they jump, They do a whole

590
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: show for me every time I turn them on. Um,

591
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: the only way I would clean that windshield is windex

592
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: in a razor blade, a single edged razor blade. Just

593
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: scrape it. I would do it in the shade. You

594
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: don't want to do this in the sun, all right,

595
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: make sure the glass is cool to the touch. It

596
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: seems to react better that way. And like I said, yeah,

597
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: let's just let's just clean. Yeah, we don't. I don't

598
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: like rainex. Rainex and wiper blades don't seem to get

599
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: along for me. For me, I you know, I I

600
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: still believe we live in a regional world where different

601
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: things affect different cars in different parts of the country.

602
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: But rainex and wiper blades just don't seem to make

603
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: it for me. I haven't a race car that didn't

604
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: have wipers. You know, great, Yeah, it's just it's it

605
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: seems like the rain cks eats away at the rubber

606
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: and the same thing as car washes. Every time you

607
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: go through a car wash. I've had the experience where

608
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: I have to wash, you know, clean the glass and

609
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: then because otherwise it's gonna beat up the blade. So

610
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: let's do this wind x razor blade the glass, a

611
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: pair of bosch Icons, and while you're at it, make

612
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: sure the pivot of the arm itself is free and

613
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: it feels like equal and strong spring tension holding the

614
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: blade against the glass. That's the only thing left, the

615
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: arm itself. But let's start with a good set of

616
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: blades and clean the glass this way. Call me next week.

617
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: If that doesn't work. You can find more information out

618
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: on the web. Just Google search Bosch Icon wiper blades

619
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: and available at your local Oreillyoto parts and the old

620
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: points in between. You can do that and pick those

621
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: up and that should work fine for you. Call me back, Charlie,

622
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: let me know what happens. Zero run a nading the

623
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: car doctor coming back right after this. Hey, welcome back

624
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: running the the card zero zero zero the phone number

625
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: car Doctors show dot Com. I want to take a

626
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: real quick second here and talk a little bit about

627
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: causing effect, because that's really what ought to repair, is uh?

628
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: In all the cars I fix, you know, it's what

629
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: was wrong with it? Everybody always asks what was wrong

630
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: with the car? Nobody has yet asked. Nobody has yet

631
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: to ask. No one has yet to ask. I want

632
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: to make sure my high school eng goes teacher Mr Sterling,

633
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: if he's listening, doesn't call up and yell at me

634
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: nice yes, sir, um the y what broke the car?

635
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: And I see some really weird things and and and

636
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: this one really got me. So watch where this story goes,

637
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: all right? Two thousand three Chevy Tahoe came into the

638
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: shop yesterday, Memorial Day, Friday. All right, you know this

639
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: is this is when you know, this is proof of

640
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: life after death, because God's up there going, yeah, we'll

641
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: throw one of these to an any and see what

642
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: he does with it. On a Friday you know, um

643
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: or all your relatives that you know, you didn't like

644
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: that have passed on. There are just up there, you know,

645
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: twidling their thumbs. Maybe they're not up there, maybe they're

646
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: down there. I don't know. So oh three Tahoe that

647
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: had a check engine light on and a lean fuel

648
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: code P zero one seven four bank to lean look

649
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: at fuel trims. Fuel trim is just a measurement of

650
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: how balanced the engine is running air fuel wise mixture wise.

651
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: And it showed meaning that the air fuel mixture was

652
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: so out of balance it was adding more fuel to

653
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: the vehicle than it's programming than the computer program called for.

654
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: So I went through the basics and the obvious stuff,

655
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: and it it came down to the mass airflow sensor

656
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: had failed or it was was out of calibration. It

657
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: was a It clearly wasn't where it was supposed to

658
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: be by the numbers. It had a calculated load number

659
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: of under one percent. It was supposed to be well

660
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: over three and a half four percent of idle. And

661
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: there were some other things indicating, gee, we've got a

662
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: mass airflow censor failure. And then something had me looking

663
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: around and I found the PCV valve had popped out

664
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: of the grammin out of the valve cover, and I said, wow,

665
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: why did that happen? And I plugged the PCV valve

666
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: in just, you know, just to make sure mess air

667
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: flow readings didn't change. So I felt really comfortable I

668
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: had a bad mess air flow. But why the PCV

669
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: pop out? And I looked at it. It It was all

670
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: credded up. It was a forty thousand mile vehicle. And

671
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I don't want to just assume anything,

672
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: So I'm just looking around and I did a code scan,

673
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: No no other fault codes. And then I said, let

674
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: me look at mode six. Mode six is the testing portion,

675
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: not to make this technical, is the testing portion of

676
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: the vehicle's computer that it will show the tests that

677
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: the computer does to see, Hey, is something approaching borderline failure?

678
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: Is it something on the border? Is it over the line?

679
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: Where is it? Cylinder five was reporting a misfire, only

680
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: cylinder five, So I said, how can cylinder five? Why

681
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: would cylinder five be misfiring? Is there a connection between

682
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,959
Speaker 1: the misfire, the PCV valve and the mass airflow sensor failure?

683
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: And now it's Tony's fault. I have to pull over

684
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: and take this pause, so when I come back, I'll

685
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: give you the answer. Running Any of the Car Doctor,

686
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: don't go away, all right, open the four. I gotta

687
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: get in there. I gotta do the show over. We're

688
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: on air, We're live. Ron will be back in a moment.

689
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: Maybe check us out at Car Doctor show dot com.

690
00:33:58,440 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: Hey Ron in any of the Car Doctor, Thanks for

691
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: sticking around this hour, and thanks for sticking around. I

692
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: know you want to I guess you wanted to hear

693
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: the end of the story. So this oh three Tahoe,

694
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: it's it's got a lean fuel condition uh confirmed bad

695
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: mass airflow sensor, a PCV valve out of the valve cover.

696
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: So it's created a crank case league or an air

697
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: league on accounted for air and it's reporting a misfire

698
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: on cylinder five. I go to look at cylinder five

699
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 1: just to do a visual. It's a coil on plug

700
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: car and the spark plug wire is chewed up. It's

701
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: been the outer casing has been chewed off. An animal,

702
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: a mouse got in there, and the wire was arcing

703
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: against the steering shaft and the side of the frame rail.

704
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 1: And I said to the customer. I said, hey, Tom,

705
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: how's the truck been running? And he said, well, it

706
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: was really good. He says, as a matter of fact,

707
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: the check engine light just kind of popped on and

708
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: he said, well, wait a minute now, he said, three

709
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: days ago it did have a little bit of a miss.

710
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: I could feel it at idole. It was up. It

711
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: was I said, like motor boating. He said, yeah, So

712
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: that means three days ago the mouse chewed through the

713
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: spark plug wire, took off the outer case and get

714
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: shorted against the steering shift. Tom drove the car not

715
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: realizing it, and somewhere along the way the theory is

716
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: and makes sense. There was a backfire. The backfire, the

717
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: backfire made the engine either made run rough enough, or

718
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: it caused the backfire through the crank case or who knows,

719
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: pop the PCV valve out of the valve cover, blew

720
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: out the mass airflow sensor. All right, damage, those two

721
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: all because of a mouse. So you know, where do

722
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: we start this conversation? You know, it all starts somewhere.

723
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: We look at the cause and effect of why cars

724
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: break and how they break, and that's just as important

725
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: as what it takes to fix them. Thanks sticking around

726
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: this hour, and I appreciate you being there. I'm on

727
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: aiding the car doctor. Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

728
00:35:54,120 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: See it, She was sure,
