1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: You've got a question about that odd noise your car

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: is making. Not sure how to understand the fine prints

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: in that car lease you're about to sign, Then this

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: is where to turn for help. Welcome to the car doctor.

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: Hid works my car? Where's your cards?

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 3: Don't travel with?

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: Thank So Ramenadian is here to answer your questions about cars.

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: Give him a call at eight.

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 4: Five esportos, motorheads, geeks three beef. They all ador if

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 4: they think he's a righteous food.

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: Now here's the car doctor Ramenadian.

12
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 5: Talking about the banning of hot rods. Where will they

13
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 5: all go? Hello and welcome. I'm n any in the

14
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 5: car doctor here at are at eighty five to five

15
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 5: five six, so ninety nine hundred here Outlawing is a

16
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 5: better word. Probably. There is a movement today growing in

17
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 5: political circles from Washington down to state capitals all across

18
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 5: America that are putting in place the ability to outlaw

19
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 5: hot rods. Imagine that from classic cars to muscle cars

20
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 5: to the current crop of factory built hot rodger performance cars.

21
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 5: They wouldn't and shouldn't exist. Damage to the environment, The

22
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 5: concern for the planets the number one reason provided. But

23
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 5: the truth is most hot rodders today have nothing but

24
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 5: concern for the planet, as evidenced by some of the

25
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 5: creations they've come up with that actually reduce emissions and

26
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 5: increased fuel economy. Right now, it's sort of a quiet movement,

27
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 5: and that's probably a little bit of a pun intended,

28
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 5: being that hot rotting is always viewed as a rod,

29
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 5: as a rude and loud crowd, and you don't hear

30
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 5: much about it. The truth is SEEMA, the Specialty Equipment

31
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 5: Manufacturers Association, the automotive aftermarket organization that's been around for

32
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 5: almost as long as hot rotting, has been fighting the

33
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 5: fight for a long time, and at one point, going

34
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 5: back about ten to fifteen years ago, it appeared to

35
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 5: be pushed down the list, but as of late the

36
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 5: last couple of years, it's sort of crawled its way

37
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 5: back up again to everybody's attention. Should they could they?

38
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 5: Could they outlaw? Could they ban hot rods the entire industry?

39
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 5: Can you imagine the economic impact the automotive aftermarket in

40
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 5: terms of performance, in terms of those hot rods that

41
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 5: everybody seems to love and enjoy and drive in this

42
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 5: great country of ours. Is a billion dollar that's be

43
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 5: a billion dollar industry or better jobs. It contributes to

44
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 5: the economy. It is part of American folklore, It is

45
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: part of our day to day rituals. And for that matter,

46
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 5: what if the concern for global warming and the planet

47
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 5: was pushed into racing. Imagine a day when you turned

48
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 5: on NASCAR and it wasn't there, or the NHRA wasn't there.

49
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 5: So there are some things that are growing and stirring

50
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 5: within political circles as of late that may spell the

51
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 5: end of hot rods, and it's something you need to

52
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 5: be aware of and be concerned about because it seems

53
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 5: that this time it's probably the worst threat ever going

54
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 5: forward this hour. If you have a comment from either side,

55
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 5: I'd like to hear it from either side. As always,

56
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 5: we want to be fair and balanced. Should they be

57
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 5: allowed to outlaw hot rods and the ability to have

58
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 5: a hot rod? And should they be able to outlaw

59
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 5: the ability of freedom for people to modify their cars

60
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 5: or are the politicians extending their hands too far to

61
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 5: the wrong side of the table. Down around the bottom

62
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 5: of the hour, Ron Ross, our resident performance guru, will

63
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 5: be in to talk to us in Gasoline and Alley

64
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 5: with regards to well a couple of things the end

65
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 5: of the year, the racing roundup. We're going to talk

66
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 5: a little bit about tuning carburetors. Ron was working on

67
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 5: a sixty What was it he's telling me this week,

68
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 5: A sixty five or sixty six Mercury Comet with two

69
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 5: fours on it in a four to twenty seven to

70
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 5: Ford big block, or or you know something that everybody

71
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 5: has in their garage, or I wish they did something

72
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 5: like that. We're gonna talk a little bit about ethanol.

73
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 5: We're going to talk a little bit really about out

74
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 5: lawing hot rods, because Ron's the go to guy for that.

75
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 5: He can tell us just what exactly and how exactly

76
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 5: this industry is important to us from that perspective. But

77
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 5: right now, let's do what the car doctor likes to

78
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 5: do best. Let's kick open the garage doors, get over

79
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 5: and talk to Ken from Belmar with some questions about

80
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 5: a nineteen eighty vet. Hey, Ken, how are.

81
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: You, sir? Good?

82
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 4: Ron, Thanks, it's taking my call.

83
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 5: All right, You're welcome. What can I do for you?

84
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 4: I recently purchased a nineteen eighty core vet runs fined.

85
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: Nothing's original has a three fifty Kate motor. I believe

86
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: it's a quate motor. Okay, but it has Rochester quadrijet.

87
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: Right.

88
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 4: Car runs well, idle smooth, but I can't get the

89
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 4: below nine hundred.

90
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 5: Okay, you went through the obvious vacuum leaks.

91
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 4: Put a rag over. The corroborator dies immediately oka the timing.

92
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 4: If you force it down and you pull back on

93
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 4: the flatt alarm, you can get it to drop maybe

94
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 4: to seven fifty. Right, it's still high.

95
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 5: How old is the carburetor?

96
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 4: Don't know? Looks you know what a quadrijet. You would

97
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 4: think it's maybe even the original.

98
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 5: Right, maybe.

99
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

100
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 5: One of the things I would look for, Kenny, is

101
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 5: you know, look at the bass plate of the car,

102
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 5: where you've got the base set screw. It sounds like

103
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 5: you're smart enough to know that the throttle stop has

104
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 5: to be against that base screw. It is correct, it's.

105
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 4: Way back off. There's a space in between it. As

106
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 4: a matter of fact, I can back the screw out and.

107
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 5: Not change the idle speed exactly. So, in other words,

108
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 5: you've got the idle speed turned down so far that

109
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 5: the throttle plates are actually tight against the bore housing

110
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 5: of the carburetor.

111
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 4: Hopefully I don't. I don't actually look in there, but

112
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 4: the arm is not is not near.

113
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 3: The stop scrow.

114
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 5: Okay, if that's the case and it's still on idle,

115
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 5: then you have an internal carburetor issue, you know, barring

116
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 5: anything externally, you know, vacuum leaks, the obvious. I mean, listen,

117
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 5: this is this is a basic bread and butter animal.

118
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 5: There's there's no computer involved here. None of the emission

119
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 5: controls are going to create this type of scenario. I

120
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 5: would tell you that the first thing I would be

121
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 5: looking for is are the throttle plates and take the

122
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 5: carburetor off the engine? Are the throttle plates uptight against

123
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 5: the bore? If they are, that's incorrect because number one,

124
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 5: it's going to start to damage and oblong the housing

125
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 5: that the throttle plate is pushed up against. It's not

126
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 5: supposed to actually touch, you know, to be a little

127
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 5: bit a minimum of an air gap, just enough for

128
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 5: a whisker to slide through, we used to say. And

129
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 5: that's really what you want to see, because if you

130
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 5: also take the carburetor off, look at it. Take the

131
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 5: carburetor off and put the back towards you so you

132
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,679
Speaker 5: can look at the front port you'll see two slits

133
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 5: in the bore. Those are the idle transfer ports. The

134
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 5: throttle plate has to be just touching the tip of

135
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 5: the opening of those, and if it's not, guess what

136
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 5: it's going to affect. Idle speak.

137
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So.

138
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 5: You know, it sounds like we've got something going on

139
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 5: internal carburetor, whether we've got dirt issues, whether we've got

140
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 5: gasket issues, whether we've just in need of a general rebuild.

141
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 5: Just keep in mind before you do flip this, you

142
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,119
Speaker 5: would want to take the top of the carb off,

143
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 5: see how much dirts inside the carburetor. And if you

144
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 5: do find dirt and contamination in the carb, now you've

145
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 5: got to think to yourself, where did it come from?

146
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 5: Is it possible you've got a contamination issue in the

147
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 5: gas tank as well, and start looking back there also. Okay, right, sir,

148
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 5: thank you, you're very welcome. You have a good day.

149
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 5: Let's go over and talk to Frank Northport. Hey, Frank,

150
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 5: how are.

151
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: You, sir?

152
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 5: Rank?

153
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: Yes, sir? Right? Yes, wrong?

154
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 5: How can I help you?

155
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: Okay? I got this ninety five Grandma Key, one hundred

156
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: and twenty thousand miles and it runs perfectly beautifully. Now

157
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, I put the car on

158
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: and I get a banging noise on the right side,

159
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: Like I said, somebody who was hitting my side door

160
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: with a stick. Boom boom, boom boom. Doesn't change like

161
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: if I go fast or slower. It doesn't matter whether

162
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: I'm moving or standing still. And uh, it just banged

163
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: like that. It started for the first time I noticed

164
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: it started when I put the heater on, and I said, oh,

165
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: it must be connected with something in the heater. But

166
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: then the next day I put it on and I

167
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: didn't have the heater, didn't put the heater on, and

168
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 2: I got the same noise.

169
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 5: If you change the temperature control position, not for the heat,

170
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: but the door position. What sort of temperature control head

171
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 5: do you have in the car, Frank? Is it automatic

172
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 5: temp control or is it manual slides?

173
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah? Automatic buttons? You know? Okay?

174
00:08:59,160 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 4: Yeah?

175
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 5: If you change the position from defrost to AC to floor,

176
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 5: does it change the noise?

177
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: No. I tried that. It didn't seem to change the noise.

178
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: One thing I did notice, though, I usually get when

179
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 2: I press the button for a floor for the heat

180
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 2: to come out on floor, it now comes out on

181
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 2: the floor and the VNCH But I don't know if

182
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: that had anything to do with it.

183
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 5: Do you Is the noise strictly inside the passenger compartment

184
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 5: in the area of under the dashboard.

185
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little bit, might be under the dashboard.

186
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: It just sounds like somebody's hitting my side of the car.

187
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 5: I think you have a problem from what you're telling

188
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 5: me with one of the blend door position motors, in

189
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 5: that either the door is hanging up and getting stuck,

190
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 5: or it's just not reaching its full travel. The fact

191
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 5: that your heat changed from being on the floor to

192
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 5: the floor in the vent when it's not in that position, yeah,

193
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 5: tells me that you probably have a door hanging up

194
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 5: and that's a real good place for your mechanics to

195
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 5: start looking when you take it in for repair.

196
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: Okay, but that might not be giving me the noise banging.

197
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 5: It could be if the door is stuck. Imagine an

198
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 5: automatic door at the supermarket and it's trying to close

199
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 5: and somebody put a can in its way. The poor

200
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 5: door is going to sit there and you know, go kaboom, kaboom,

201
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 5: ka boom. It's trying to move but it can. It

202
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 5: doesn't know any better. Right, So be a great place

203
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 5: to start.

204
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: Kiddo, Time to start with the blend door of the

205
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: heating system.

206
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 5: Well, let them diagnose it. Listen, eyes, ears, what does

207
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 5: it sound like? What does it feel like? I mean,

208
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 5: obviously that's part of any diagnosis, And it'd be a

209
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 5: whole lot easier than sitting behind this microphone to be

210
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 5: there and see it and hear it and try a

211
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 5: few different things. But looking at or considering the blend

212
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 5: door as a possible solution for it is definitely the

213
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 5: place I would start. And I think therein you're going

214
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 5: to find a solution to both of your problems. Dur

215
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 5: At eighty five five five six, so ninety nine hundred

216
00:10:50,360 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 5: and we're back right after this. Hey, hey, hey, welcome back.

Speaker 5: How are you welcome to the car doctor?

232
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: He Ron?

233
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 6: How you been a long time in here?

234
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 5: Yes, sir? What's going on?

235
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 4: Yeah?

236
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 6: Okay, I have a ninety one niece on X two

237
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 6: point zero. I rear this break. I'm having the problem.

238
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 6: I've went through one right side reaccount that was binding

239
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 6: up I didn't know about, replaced the caliper, loosing the

240
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 6: parking bake adjuster up in the front in the cabin.

241
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 6: When I went to replace the pads on both sides cars,

242
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 6: you know, I did a complete schopp in the back calipers,

243
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 6: I mean breaks road is the left side piston decided

244
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 6: that it was going to burst and slashed you know,

245
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 6: food all over the floor. So I went and got

246
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 6: a left side caliper. Now what's happening is when I

247
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 6: went to just the parking brake, I have no left

248
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 6: side parking brake, I have right side parking brake, and

249
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 6: I just so happened to have you know I'm on

250
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 6: these hot riders that you say.

251
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're going to be outlawed.

252
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 4: But ahead, we didn't.

253
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 6: Talk about that in a minute. We I had I

254
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 6: have a pair of parking bake cables at a Brandy

255
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 6: from dormant. I replaced the parking bay cable, thinking, okay,

256
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 6: you know it doesn't hurt to just change them while

257
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 6: I'm down there. Same thing to equalizess slightly cocked to

258
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 6: the right fill no parking break, no matter how much

259
00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 6: adjusters I'm getting.

260
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 5: The cabin sounds like you've got a bed left rear caliber.

261
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, and this is a Reman, And I'm like, okay,

262
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 6: how do you get a bad reman?

263
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 5: Well, you know, reman er new Remember what new stands

264
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 5: for new never ever worked. So you know the fact

265
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 5: that and the fact that it's a reman, You know

266
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 5: understand what the remans are. The reman means they've taken

267
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 5: what they consider to be a good caliber piston with

268
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 5: quote unquote good guts, right and clean the boar, put

269
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 5: fresh seals, and put it into the caliber body. It

270
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 5: doesn't mean a new piston. So you know it's it's

271
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 5: it's sort of a roll of the dice to see

272
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 5: whether or not you get.

273
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: A good one right.

274
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 5: And keep in mind one other thought to kiddo is

275
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 5: that with regards to the way that system works with

276
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 5: a caliber and a lever and cables, the front cable

277
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 5: it doesn't have to be that tight. The work is

278
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 5: supposed to be done at the caliber. All the cable

279
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 5: has to be is you know, semitight, so to speak.

280
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 5: You don't want to you don't want to have to

281
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 5: be able to twang it like a guitar string. And

282
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 5: then when you pull on that lever about a quarter

283
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 5: to two thirds of the way off of it stop

284
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 5: that caliper is typically locked up. Okay, so it sounds

285
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 5: like you've got a bad new caliber, bad reman caliper,

286
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 5: whatever the case might be.

287
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, and if you speak, I'm actually taking enough about

288
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 6: to check back to the parts place and they're gonna,

289
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 6: you know, stop off and you know, I take a one.

290
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 6: I called them on this, and they will really helpful

291
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 6: to the tech guy that he's like, okay, give me

292
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 6: a tay, call me back, give me the box and

293
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 6: part number, and you let me know how it goes.

294
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 6: So you know, they kind of you know, I tried

295
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 6: to go for them with their tech, and they really

296
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 6: been helpful, you know, for the last couple of days.

297
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. Probably twenty two years ago they

298
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 5: had the pleasure of being brought down to A one

299
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 5: Cardona in Philadelphia. They took us down there, and I

300
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 5: never before had the president of a company sit everybody

301
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 5: down and said, it was a couple of mechanics. We

302
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 5: want you to listen to these guys. Here's what's going

303
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 5: on with our company. It's you hear it from the

304
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 5: people in the street. Very receptive company, very much so

305
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 5: trying to deal with the problems of re manufacturing automobile

306
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 5: parts then as well as today. So I hear where

307
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 5: you're coming from. Banning hot rotting, kiddo, what do you think.

308
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 6: Hey, I tell you what they've been doing that since

309
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 6: they've been installed OBB two in these cars. You can't

310
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 6: even touch ny the machines without having to go to

311
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 6: the dealer. Everything is check engine, check engine, check eng.

312
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 6: Nowther I prefer OBB one over any system out there

313
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,960

00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 3: and one grand cheap Grand Cherokey cheap Laredo. Okay, about

331
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 3: one hundred and ten thousand miles on it?

332
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 5: Which engine four liter?

333
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: I believe?

334
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 5: So? Okay? In line six, yes, okay, go ahead.

335
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: And it's consuming coolant?

336
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 4: Right?

337
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 5: Do you see it leaking anywhere?

338
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: Not leaking?

339
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 3: Had a pressure checked and the mechanic says it looks.

340
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: Like a head gasket job.

341
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: About sixteen hundred dollars to get it fixed.

342
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 5: Not uncommon. Usually blows between cylinders five and six, or

343
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 5: in a really bad scenario, it cracks.

344
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 3: The head hasn't cracked the head out it.

345
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 5: Well, you won't see it. It'll be from the inside.

346
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 5: They won't know it until they pull it apart and

347
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 5: pressure check the head.

348
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 3: Is there any other solution? I mean course not worth

349
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: probably four dollars.

350
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 5: Jack up the radiator, cap drive a new car underneath,

351
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, there's really not much more you

352
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 5: can do. Cracked head is a cracked head losing coolant's

353
00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 5: losing coolant.

354
00:16:59,480 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 4: You know.

355
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 5: I'll come back and ask you a question and be honest.

356
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 5: Did the car Did the car get regular coolant service?

357
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 3: Yes, it's my daughter's car, so I've taken good care

358
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 3: of it.

359
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 5: Okay, It's had cooling flushes every thirty thousand miles.

360
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 3: It's had a couple of cool and flushes it had.

361
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: It's a new radiator, it's got new belts. I mean,

362
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,719
Speaker 3: I take good care of it. She goes to college,

363
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 3: and I'm concerned because she travels back and forth, consuming

364
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: about a half an hour in the week.

365
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 5: Right. Have you have you owned the car since new Jerry? No,

366
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 5: when did you what mile did you buy.

367
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 3: It at, Oh, probably about eighty five thousand miles?

368
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 5: Right in eighty five thousand miles, and it's got how

369
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 5: many miles on it now?

370
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 3: About one hundred and ten right, And the.

371
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 5: Problem becomes that let's just say she's had the car

372
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 5: two years and it's now got one hundred and ten

373
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 5: thousand miles on it, and you've done two cooling flushes

374
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 5: over the course of two years. What we really need

375
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 5: to know and look at is what was the cooling

376
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 5: service from day one, the first eighty five thousand miles.

377
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 5: This is why, and I'm not trying to beat you up, Jerry,

378
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 5: just understand me. For everybody else out there, this is

379
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 5: why when you bought a used vehicle, you need to

380
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 5: know history. This vehicle should have had a cooland service

381
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 5: at thirty, at sixty, and then at ninety. If you

382
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 5: wait until ninety to do the cooland service, it's like

383
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 5: being eighty five years old and saying I'm gonna stop

384
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 5: smoking now because I'm afraid of getting cancer. It's like,

385
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 5: what's the point, Jerry Good talking to you sounds like

386
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 5: it needs a head gasket, and unfortunately, you're gonna have

387
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 5: to solve that problem, either financially by doing it or

388
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 5: replacing the vehicle. I'm running NY in the car Doctor
