68
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,360

69
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: it's underground, it's old, and work's got to get done

70
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: sometimes sooner or later. It's so it's just the mess.

Speaker 1: So we are. We are flying without aette today and

72
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,919

73
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,079

00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: real upset when I net's here. Ye. Well, actually on

75
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,560

76
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: show and John and Indiana just give me a minute here. Um,

77
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: you know what tonight's a good night for? Because it's

78
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: really cold. Did you notice how the weather changed? It

79
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: was sixty degrees yesterday, it's about twenty five right now.

80
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: And you know it's funny because I was thinking about this,

81
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: I received an email. One email out of the seven

82
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: listeners we got. I got one email out of the

83
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: seven listeners, and um, this gentleman Tom, he's all upset

84
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: because I asked everybody the weather report, and he tells

85
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: me to stop doing it. It's boring and and so

86
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: forth with. They don't need to know the weather. They

87
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: can look it up on Google. Do you know why

88
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: I asked the weather because you want to be a pain? Well? No,

89
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: because well I'm gonna talk about it. I'm gonna talk

90
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: about it right now with our next caller, I think,

91
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: but I want to I want to know the weather

92
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: because whether affects barometric pressure, weather affects vehicle operation, and

93
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: I want to make sure the information I'm giving might

94
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: be not vehicle weather specific type of stuff because it's

95
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: you know, listen, if you walk into the shop, all right,

96
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: third bay computer, right on the desktop, there's a shortcut

97
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: for the weather center, whether weather Channel, weather channel dot com.

98
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: Every day I walk in, I click on it. I

99
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: know what. I want to know what barometric pressure is

100
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: in Waldock, New Jersey, because if the bara metric pressure

101
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: supposed to be twenty nine point eight and my scan

102
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: tool says thirty one point five, somebody's lying all right,

103
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: and it doesn't take much for it to be off

104
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: and the car will act completely different. So if you

105
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: hear me asking the weather, something's on my mind, all right,

106
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: it's um, I'm thinking something. So that's the moment um.

107
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,799
Speaker 1: I had a bunch of things to talk about. Remember

108
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: what they were? I kept John way to long enough

109
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: John Europe. You're any of the car docker, sir? How

110
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: can I help? Yeah? I've got F two fifty super

111
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: Duty with a V ten and two thousand miles and

112
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: I've owned it since since it was new. But but

113
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: it I was checking the oil the other day and

114
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: I noticed the coulant level was about two inches lower

115
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: than the minimum level. So I filled it to you know,

116
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: about half way between the men minimum and maximum, and

117
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: UH checked it the next day and it was back

118
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: down below again, I mean about to the same place.

119
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: So I filled it again, and I checked it when

120
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: it was hot then, and when it was hot it

121
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: was probably above the max level a little bit. But

122
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: the next morning it was back down to the low

123
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: level again. So I made a mark on the on

124
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: the Coulant reservoir with my inkpin and just didn't add

125
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: anymore to it. Every morning, I checked it and it

126
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: was right back and maybe just a tick below we're

127
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: above you know, series a little, but but no, no

128
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: real movement. My first year was head gasket, you know,

129
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: with this many miles everything and uh, but you know,

130
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: now at this point, I don't know if I've got

131
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: a problem or not. And it's so cold out. Everybody

132
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: looks like they've got a head gasket, you know, going

133
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: when you know, when you when you first start something

134
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: in Mormon. I mean, it's so cold right now. Did

135
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: it ever? Has it ever come back? It's it's staying

136
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: consistently at the level you left it at coult correct, correct?

137
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: I mean like I parked it in the you know,

138
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: concrete floor every night. So but it it might very

139
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: just a little, you know, but very little. I mean,

140
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: nothing you can tell, you know, you know, just some ideas.

141
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: You know, why was it low in the first place?

142
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: How long had it been before you had checked that

143
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: was there? You know, it sounds like this is something

144
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: you do on a regular basis. Had it been a

145
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: couple of days, a week, a month since you last

146
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: checked it and you just happened to notice it, or

147
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: it had probably been a week since I since I

148
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: checked the or you know, since I checked the oil

149
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: and I've never noticed. I mean, like I said, I

150
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: bought this truck new and in the coolant level as

151
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: far as I can remember, and that you know, it's

152
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: stayed very consistent in the past. So you know, I

153
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: just thought something was going on, But I don't know.

154
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't argue with you. Something is probably

155
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: going on. The fact that it it's it sounds like

156
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: it it needed a court. Did I take a court

157
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: you think, John, I would say, yeah, I'd say a

158
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: court maybe a little more so it kind of puked

159
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: out a court somewhere. And whether it whether it consumed

160
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: it internally or it's a cphead gasket. We'll talk about

161
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: that in a minute. That you know it's it's it's

162
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: not impossible. Um, the fact that it's staying where it

163
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: is the first question I've got to I've got to

164
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: ask you the weather. Oh boy, I'm gonna get another email. Um,

165
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: you know, did the weather change since the first time

166
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: you started checking that the coolant level to now? Is

167
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: it's still the same consistency of cold or hot? You

168
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: know what the temperature is outside? Yeah, it's it's pretty

169
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: close now to what it was then. But in the

170
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: interim it's changed a lot. It's like you were talking.

171
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: I think the other night at midnight it was sixty

172
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: degrees and the next day it was seventeen. Right, So

173
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: you know the temperature swings or what kills gaskets. It's

174
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: whether it's outside outside temperature, you know, ambient temperature or

175
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: vehicle temperature. Um. You know, believe it or not, head

176
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: gaskets will will. I've seen this over and over again

177
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: in my career. Where that that short trip, short distance vehicle,

178
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: Well we're out of head guess if it's a problematic vehicle,

179
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: a problematic you know, we know a pattern failure. This

180
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: head gasket really wasn't made right. Three eight tourists come

181
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: to mind. I mean a good lord. One year. In

182
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: the first six months, I think I did two sets

183
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: of head gas. It's myself in the shop at the time.

184
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: Just it got to the point where I was bored.

185
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: I kept the tools out. I knew two ones I

186
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: needed it, just you know, like, okay, where's the next one.

187
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: I did one every week for the first twenty two weeks.

188
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: I think of the year, Um, you know that is

189
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: a week or a bad head gas get designed and

190
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: you know it'll it'll just be as short trips. It

191
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: doesn't expand properly, and all that short contraction and expansion,

192
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: it tends to scrub the gasket like a piece of

193
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: sandpaper wedge between it and it just you know, eventually

194
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: it just wears it out at a microscopic level and pooh,

195
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: it just pops. Um. I would you know, do you

196
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: have the ability to get under the truck, John, and

197
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: and look look at the so you know, let's take

198
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: a look where where these typically fail. Is not to

199
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: wish it upon you, but is it is the back

200
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: rear corners all right, just behind you know, the last

201
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: two cylinders on the last cylinder on each side. Uh

202
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: you know, just look for the white stain coming down

203
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: the block or you might even seen some wet there.

204
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: But that would be the most common point of failure,

205
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, if if it is head gas getting uh yeah,

206
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: I think something happened as a result of temperature and age.

207
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: So I would tell you to watch it and monitor

208
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: it and if it gets to the point where you

209
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: can prove it's a cphead gasket, all right, I'm gonna

210
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: tell you something. Um, I'd try a bottle of caseeal.

211
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: This is the video that's famous on Facebook, on the

212
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: car doctor facebook page for everybody beating well not everybody,

213
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: but a lot of guys beating me up. They said,

214
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: look at you, you're a bottle mechanic. Yeah, John, Let

215
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: me ask you a question, Miles on that truck, would

216
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: you actually pull the heads at this point in the

217
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: game and and and go through head gaskets and all that.

218
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: Would you want to do that? That was kind of

219
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: my next question for you. I haven't checked into it locally,

220
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: but is it really worth I mean, I've looked a

221
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: little bit on the internet, you know about you know

222
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: what other people have. I mean, I don't know if

223
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: it's worth it, right, it's you know, I can tell

224
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: you everything. I can tell you New Jersey prices, alright,

225
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: because everything everything is relative, right, Um? You know out

226
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: here a repair shop is averaging a hundred, a hundred

227
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: and five bucks an hour, you know, an independent a dealer,

228
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: a dealer repair shops about a hundred a quarter hundred

229
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: and thirty hour, depending upon the line. Um, I don't

230
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: know how that stacks up to Indiana, but you know,

231
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: you get my point. Everything everything is relative. To cost

232
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: of overhead. So you know, at that point, I've got

233
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: to think that's you know, that's that's two days work.

234
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: That's gotta be to to gran Worth a head gas

235
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: it's easy. Um. And then and then that's you know

236
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: what sort of shape of the heads in uh, you know,

237
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 1: what sort of what sort of machine work are we

238
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: gonna do to the heads? Valve? Valve clean up? You know,

239
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: guide seals, cut the heads, et cetera, blah blah blah.

240
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna put five minutes. We're gonna put

241
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: five grand in this truck, right, and the rest of

242
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: the engine has still and so does the trans and

243
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: sort of the rear ends and you know, so unless

244
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna go through the whole truck. Hence, here's the argument.

245
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: And this was my argument on Facebook. I said, you know, guys,

246
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: you take this bottle of case seal. It's whatever it is,

247
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: ten bucks, fifteen bucks. You can find it on Railly

248
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: oto parts. Um, you go out on Railly ooto dot

249
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: com and you'll find it. And you know, just read

250
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: the instructions. Try it. It's not gonna hurt. It's you know,

251
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: because if the conversation is replace the vehicle or pour

252
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: on a bottle of k seal. I think I'll spend

253
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: the fifth. I think I'll spend the fifteen bucks first

254
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: or ten bucks whatever it is. Um, you know, it's

255
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: it's funny because if you go to the Facebook page

256
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: and find the video, you'll see the pontact. I tried

257
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: it on that car. Came back yesterday and the right

258
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: front tire was going flat. It needed it needed a

259
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: tire plug repair, and we repaired it. And I thought

260
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: about it. I said, you know, I should really take

261
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: a video three months later showing this car. Because the car,

262
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: I asked the girl, I said, so, how's the heat?

263
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: She said, my parents are complaining it's still too warm. Um,

264
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: the heat blast them out of the car. So everybody's saying, oh,

265
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna block the heater core and all that, Um,

266
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: not not realistic. Doesn't happen. So but that's that's that's

267
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: where I go, sir, That's that's how I approached this,

268
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: all right. I wouldn't be afraid to try some k

269
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: seal k seal dot com. I wouldn't be afraid to,

270
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: you know, just be aware of if it's if it

271
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: is a head gas can take it from there, but

272
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: just monitor the level. Let's see where it goes. You

273
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: have any questions, you called me back, all right, thanks John,

274

280
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: recently sat down with Johnson Controls Global brand manager Joe

281
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: Meyer to discuss the advantages of a GM batteries, including

282
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: which vehicles are the best candidates for this type of battery.

283
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Joe, Well, there are many different types

284
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: of everyday vehicles that could be a good candidate, from

285
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: soccer moms, to landscape vehicles to different types of hot

286
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: rods that really would work well with an a g

287
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: M battery. Many of these vehicles include extensive electrical features

288
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: which really place greater emphasis on the demand for the battery. Additionally,

289
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: if you purchase aftermarket accessories such as inflattainment systems or

290
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: even lights, you may require a more advanced battery such

291
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: as our a G m. Lastly, where and how you

292
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: drive your vehicle can really impact the battery performance. So

293
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: for example, if you live in a climate that gets

294
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: really hot or cold during our summers or winters, our

295
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: a GM battery will perform better than standard flooded batteries

296
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: under these conditions. A g M batteries help meet the

297
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: electrical demands put on today's vehicles. Learn more at auto

300
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: is an especially critical time as harsher conditions can put

301
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: strain on your vehicle. Here are a few items to

302
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: check courtesy of the Car Care Console. Winter means shorter

303
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: days and longer nights. It's a great time to make

304
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,920

Speaker 1: in the court doctor hate tom um Let's and I

352
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: got a question. You got a quick second? Um, um,

353
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: well for you, you've got all kinds of seconds. You

354
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: know how we put those two clocks on the studio

355
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: wall there. I think we need to flip them around

356
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: the other way because when you stand there with your

357
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: big head, I can't see the clock. And this is

358
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: a problem because well either you know, it's funny when

359
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: Tony's here. See Tony sits and he's at your height,

360
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: and for some reason he's just a little bit that's

361
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: how big Tony is. Folks, Tom has to stand to

362
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: reach Tony's microphone. It's really kind of funny, um, you know,

363
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: with the uh. But but the good thing is if

364
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: you can't see the clock, then you have to pay

365
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: attention to me when I'm counting you in. Yeah, but

366
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: when you're sleeping, it's a problem. Um. I want to

367
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about that. At least I'm not

368
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: snoring today with the mic open. Well that's true, not

369
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: like last week. UM. I want to talk a little

370
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: bit about the weather, all right, And I know the

371
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: weather is a great topic. I know six out of

372
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: the seven of you love it. So the weather changed

373
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: radically across the country in the last couple of days

374
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: right it Um it started. I talked to the Wananian

375
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: kid out in Pittsburgh and she said it was sixty

376
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: one degrees yesterday. I called her this morning, she says

377
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: it's eighteen. So you know, imagine tire pressure. They started

378
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: thinking about tire pressure, right, Um, if the tire car,

379
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: if your car went in for an oil change on

380
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: Thursday and you were in the Pittsburgh area at sixty

381
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: one degrees and it had sixty had thirty five pounds

382
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: of air put in it, and you know, you woke

383
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: up this morning and now it's twenty degrees. You've now

384
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: lost four pounds of air pressure. If thirty five is

385
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: where they said it and the spec was thirty five.

386
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: By now your TPM s lights on. So everybody in

387
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's driving around trying to put air in their tires.

388
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: Um and and and so goes the rest of the country.

389
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: And and that's my point. You know that that you've

390
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: really got to look at weather, and you've really got

391
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: to think about long term preparation. And it's it's just

392
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: because the car has got a computer on it doesn't

393
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: mean it doesn't need a little t l C along

394
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: the way. All right, until they came out with and

395
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: I'm sure somebody's working on its self inflating tires, which

396
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: I thought about the other desk, and that would be

397
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: kind of neat. Um. You know, we're gonna have to

398
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: just continue to put air and tires. We're gonna have

399
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: to continue to pay attention to fluids. Like John from Indiana.

400
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: By the way, John, if you're still listening one list

401
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: thought you could have a bad radiator cap on that

402
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: truck to uh, creating an issue, not not venting properly,

403
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: and you know, just be aware of that. You could

404
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: have a radiator cap closing that issue. Um. I thought

405
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: about that as well, that, um, you know you might

406
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: have a problem there. Um, so just just be aware

407
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: of of of of weather. UM. I thought of Jeff

408
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: Foxworthy also this week. You know he does the you

409
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: might be a redneck if and I'm thinking, I'm thinking

410
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get together with Jeff and do

411
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: something on the lines of you might not be taking

412
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: care of your car properly if and I think I

413
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: would answer that as you walk into a repair shop

414
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: and your Royal change sticker says June and it's January,

415
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: all right, or you might be not taking care of

416
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: your car properly if your tire pressure light is on,

417
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: and the last time your oil was changed Obama was

418
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: in office, all right. You know, I could just see

419
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: a whole series of these things being played out, because

420
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: it seems like every car that came into the shop

421
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: this week again, whether related issues I I you know,

422
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: I watched every week. Caroline came in. This one woman,

423
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: a deer customer, and you know, she just the car

424
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: was due for an oil change in May. Here we

425
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: are in January, and her complaint and the moment was

426
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: it needed a battery because you know, the car had

427
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: not been prepped for winter. And you know, listen, it

428
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: gets to be life and death out there. It can

429
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: be a problem, all right, It's not that you know,

430
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: don't think. And I just have to mention this, don't think.

431
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: Let's see, you're gonna go from New Jersey to to

432
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: to Ohio, all right, on a car trip, and somewhere

433
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: in the middle of Pennsylvania, you've got to stop and

434
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: get gas, all right, and you pull over, you you

435
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: you shut the car off, you go to start it.

436
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: Don't think the car is gonna start just because it

437
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: started in New Jersey because the battery is that good.

438
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes a marginal battery will fail from underhood temperature. And

439
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: you know, prolonged driving nice and hot, even in cold weather,

440
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: it gets hot under the hood and you'll find that

441
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: marginal battery becomes marginal and it doesn't start the car.

442
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: So getting cars checked for winter is still one of

443
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: the most important things you have to do. You've got

444
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: to do it, uh, you know, forget the nonsense of

445
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: tv M s lights annoying you and so on and

446
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: so forth. Look, I've said it for going on twenty

447
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: seven maybe twenty eight years. If we make another two

448
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: weeks um, you know what, the car is the most

449
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: important thing to take care of you. You've got to

450
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: take care of it, especially when you're out on the road.

451
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm running ending the car. Doctor. We're coming back right

452
00:22:55,359 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: after this. Don't go away. Today. We just signed to

453
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: walk to school. At the corner. We waited across the

454
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: street to stop like count down. I mean, we took

455
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: a left on Carol Gordon Street. Garden street music was

456
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: coming from a car. Danny's a smart kid, but he

457
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,719

Speaker 1: right now and take a moment that felt good. Huh,

471
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,320

472
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: moment together. Of course, they don't all need to be

473

483
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: Watching my nieces grow, play and learn is amazing, but

484
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: not every child gets to be carefree. One in six

485
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: kids in the US are hungry. One in six. That

486
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: little girl sitting alone at the playground. She can't play

487
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: like the other kids. She doesn't have the energy because

488
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: she's hungry. School lunch will be her only meal today.

489
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: It breaks my heart that this is the reality in

490
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: our country, but it's something that Feeding America is working

491
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: to change. Each year, the Feeding American network of food

492
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: banks rescues billions of pounds of good food that would

493
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: have gone to waste. This food is then provided to

494
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: families and children in need. Being a kid should be

495
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: about using your imagination, learning and having fun. These children

496
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to miss out on simply being a kid

497
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: because they're hungry. To find out how you can help

501
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: Started off with a picture for the table, which quickly

502
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: becomes to there's pool and there's the photo books. All right,

503
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: everybody squeeze in, say cheese, followed naturally by an order

Speaker 1: Then there's the ceremonial nightcap, So what are we doing

506
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: this weekend? And lastly it's back to the car, which,

507
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: if you're buzzed, could be the most expensive night of

508
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: your life. Getting pulled over for buzz driving could cost

509
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: you around ten thousand dollars and fines, legal fees, and

510
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: increased insurance rates. Nothing kills a buzz is like getting

511
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: pulled over for buzz driving, because buzz driving is drunk driving.

557
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, I called you a boy about a month

558
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: ago with my two thousand three GMC sierra UM, and

559
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: I bought the truck in two thousand and eight, and

560
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: then it always had a hard first a second shift

561
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: and U but it was I just thought that, you know,

562
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: every every vehicle has its little character defects, and I

563
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: didn't think anything of it. Um, I've got a son

564
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: that knows his cars, and he was home about about

565
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: six months ago and he's like, dad, boy, that's a

566
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: problem with your transmission. You had to do something about it. Man.

567
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: So didn't now that. I Then I started fixating on it.

568
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: So I took it to a couple of different shops

569
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: and and um, we got everything from oh, I, I

570
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: don't know what to do, but I'll go in there

571
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: and clean it all up for six undred dollars to yeah, well,

572
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: well we need a hundred dollars just to look at it.

573
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: It's probably gonna need to be rebuilt. And that's when

574
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: I contacted you. And while we were talking, you told

575
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: me that there was a TSB on that truck from

576
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: two thousand three. Yeah. Yeah, so you you sent it

577
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: to me via email and I took it to my

578
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: local GMC dealer here. Then he and I had long

579
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 1: talk and he said, Steve, I'm going to throw your

580
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: truck on the computer. Let's just see what it wants.

581
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,600

583
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: If there's a download that needs to be done, let's

584
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: do it. And the truck needed about four or five

585
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: downloads and the brake booster needs to be updated. And

586
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: he charged me eighty eight bucks and updated my PCM

587
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: and my truck is fine. Perfect. I'm glad to hear it. Man,

Speaker 1: And Bay one is like that the oil change, tire

610
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,479
Speaker 1: breaks things, you know, not the simple things, but you know,

611
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: that's the things we try to do in that bay.

612
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: It keeps it easier, so we're not chasing tools all

613
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: over the shop. And then Bay two gets a little

614
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: bit more mechanical, and Bay three is like NASA alright.

615
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: Bay three is all the scan tools out and everything

616
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: is laid out on the wall and you get And

617
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: the reason is because when you're diagnosing something, it's just

618
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: so easy to look at the wall and go I

619
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: tried that. I tried that. I tried that. You know what,

620
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: I didn't do that. And I learned this trick years

621
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: and years and years ago. I actually have a timing

622
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: light on on one of the peg boards in the shop. Yeah,

623
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: many times I've used that timing light in the past.

624
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: Eighteen years maybe once. All right, what do you set

625
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: timing on anymore? There's unless it's something old and which

626
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: is like a personal vehicle of either the Monty Carlo

627
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: or the fifty five or something like that. But but

628
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: the point is it kind of jiggles your brain when

629
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: you're up against it. And you know, one of the

630
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: things hanging on the walls is it is it lashbox

631
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: to do software updates? Um, not that I've ever used it.

632
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: It's got about an inch of dust on it because

633
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: I actually do my REEF flash is using manufacturer level

634
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: of stuff. Um, you know, I'll pull out the Ford

635
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: Ideas or the GM Tech or what have you. But

636
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: you know I always say that ort to repair it's

637
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: an A to Z thing, all right, You've you've got

638
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: to go a B C D. You've got to kind

639
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 1: of go down the line. And you know it's not

640
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: to get on the soapbox. But again, you know people

641
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: will call in and they'll have a problem. And I

642
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: love the calls about fuel pressure. Well it feels like

643
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: a bad fuel pump. I don't know what that feels like.

644
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: Because I can turn I can turn the key off

645
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: and kill the engine just as quick as a bad

646
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: fuel pump, you know, And then I'll always ask the question,

647
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: did you check fuel pressure? No? Well, I don't want

648
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: to spend any money on diagnosis. Okay, so we put

649
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: a four all the fuel pump in the car, and

650
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: you know, now we've still got the same problem. Now

651
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: do you want to you know, now do you want

652
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: to check fuel pressure? Um? You know. I think I

653
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: think the repair shops, some the repair shops out there

654
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: are overwhelmed and they don't want to get training. UM.

655
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: I actually have a meeting this week with the folks

656
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: from Mac Tools. We're gonna be talking about some of

657
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: this stuff. Uh, you know, educating the masses and and

658
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: and you know, how do we get how do we

659
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: make better mechanics? Um? You know. I I'm a firm

660
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: believer in the American mechanic. I think there's a really

661
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: smart bunch of guys out there. I think that, you know,

662
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: they need to get educated a little bit more. I

663
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: myself do. I've been doing this forty three years and

664
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: I still go to school, and I'll still continue to

665
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: go to school. You can't stop going to school, you

666
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: can't stop learning, um, you know, because you're either growing

667
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 1: or dying to quote Lou Holtz, and you know, it's

668
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's just the way it is, uh, you know,

669
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: And I would find a good mechanic, and and I

670
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: was getting a little dismayed until I talked to you.

671
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: And then I went to my GMC dealer and and

672
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: because I went to transmission mechanics and that that's the specialty,

673
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: and I just kind of get the run around. And

674
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: when I met with my local dealer here, I found

675
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: a really nice service manager that was willing to work

676
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: with me and and do it at my pace and

677
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: and it worked out great. And so I found myself

678
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: a good mechanic. But it's kind of scary that I

679
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: went to specialty guys that didn't have to wear the

680
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 1: wall to let me check to see if there's any

681
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: TSPs on it, right, and you know, T s B.

682
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: So so the process is, you know, you know, you know,

683
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: I always say this, right, and and they keep trying

684
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: to get me to teach this class again about shop management,

685
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: and I just I just I don't know, I'm not

686
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: ready to do it again. It's been a while. But

687
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 1: one of the first things I always asked in shop

688
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: management class when I was teaching. I said, you've got

689
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: ten mechanics in the room, the car comes in with

690
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: a flat tire, what's the first thing you do? And

691
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 1: you'll get eighteen different answers. Uh, you know, is what's

692
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: the first thing you do? My answer would be verify

693
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: the flat? Customer Wilson and says, you know, I've got

694
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 1: a flat in the trunk, all right, you know which

695
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: time or which you know, where did it come from?

696
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 1: And then get the details. Whereas you know, everybody raises

697
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 1: their hand and say, well they've got a flat throat

698
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: and the dunk tank. Well what if the sidewalls all

699
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: chewed up? But if there's no air in the tire,

700
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: what if you know, verify the complaint and and and

701
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: go through the process. And one of the things I've

702
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: learned on, you know, diagnosing problem cars is the typically

703
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: the first half hour or forty five minutes is spent reading,

704
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: just doing some research, looking at bulletins, looking to see

705
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: if there's any flash updates, looking for patterned failures, road

706
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: testing the car all right, and just you know, looking

707
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: around especially and then if somebody worked on it, Holy cow,

708
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, you get some of these cars where somebody's

709
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: worked on the car and you lift the hood and

710
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: you need sunglasses because the shiny parts are blinding you.

711
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: You know, it just magnifies the amount of time you've

712
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: got to spend that much more. Well, listen, Steve, I

713
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. I'm glad it worked out for you.

714
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: Um Uh. You know, if you ever get out the

715
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: New Jersey, you you bring the beer and I'll take

716
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: you out and we'll go get some pizza. So good.

717
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: That sounds perfectly all right, sir, um everything. You're very welcome.

718
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: You enjoy the rest of the winter, um, and we'll

719
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: go from there. I'm running any of the car, doctor Zo,

720
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: if Tom Ray can get the phone's working again, I'll

721
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: be back right after this. Car repairs get expensive and

722
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: most of us don't have spare money for them. That's

723
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: where brands like case Hell can really be a lifesaver.

724
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: If you've had a car with a coolant leak, you

725
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: know how expensive it can get. And it's not usually

726
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: the newer, high dollar vehicle that has the leak. It's

727
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: the older vehicle in the family, the dollar range value car,

728
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: the car you might be depending on for daily transportation

729
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: and other vital tasks. Look if you're experiencing a cool

730
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: leak and the repair cost far exceeds the value of

731
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: the car. You don't necessarily have to take your car

732
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: off the road. Try using case heal. I've seen my

733
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: share of these in the shop where before k seal existed.

734
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: Once a diagnosis was made of a leaking intake gasket,

735
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: radiator heat or core head gasket, the car might have

736
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: been sent for recycling, and then the owner had to

737
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: purchase another one before giving up. Try k seal. It's

738
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: a poor in solution that just may allow you to

739
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: keep that car longer without spending more on repairs than

740
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: the car is actually worth. Find ca seal at autoload

741
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: of retailers everywhere and getting more information at k seal

742

Speaker 1: dot com about the car having drained the crank case,

743
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: check the wheelbarrings, drain the radiator, and have the manifold

744
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: heat control of belt check got that well? No man

Speaker 1: the card? Of course? Everything and our Texico dealer and

749

Speaker 1: we did that too. Cartoon The Man who had the Stars,

Speaker 1: us out at Car Doctor show dot com. We first

755
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: opened about ten years ago. We were were small, just

756
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 1: a few of us, but it was exciting. I always

757
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: dreamt of having my own business. It was kind of

758
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: slow at first, but things started picking up. We had

759
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: big plans, but in our wildest dreams, we never never

760
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: thought we'd have this much work. Yeah. With so many

772
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,000

788
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: that's fine, getting it out, um. Tom's trying to purposely

789
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: mute that fact that the phone is not working. I

790
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: think he's annoyed today, but it will work by next

791
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: week and you can call five zero, leave a message

Speaker 1: service and Tom will call you back and get you

793
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: in the queue for the next live broadcast. I got

794
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: an email I want to talk about real quick. UM.

795
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: I also want to point out for Steve that just

796
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: called in from Wisconsin. UM. One of the things we're

797
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: gonna talk about with regard to he got his truck fixed.

798
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: He built a relationship with the guy and now he's

799
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: And that's that's the biggest part about finding a good mechanic,

800
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: the relationship. He went and he talked to somebody. He

801
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: did exactly what I've always said for years and years

802
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: and years. You got to go in and talk to somebody.

803
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. Schmooze is the right word. In Jersey,

804
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 1: we call it schmoozing. UM. In Wisconsin they probably call

805
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: it something else. But you're just you know, who who

806
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: wants to work with you, who's realistic, who wants to

807
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: make it about fixing and solving the problem, and not

808
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: just you're just another number or another name. So good

809
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: for you, Steve. You did find a good mechanic, and

810
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: I would build that relationship further because it's all about

811
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 1: the relationship. Um Ron, Good morning from the bombing state

812
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: of man A forty three degrees up here. At seven

813
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: am in January Thaw, I had the memorable experience of

814
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: doing a coil and spark plug change fifty super duty

815
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: four by four. The truck has under twenty four thousand

816
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: miles on It was running rough uses a plow truck

817
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 1: for the church campus I'm employed at as a maintenance man.

818
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: The man in charge told me to change all the

819
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: coil packs. He had the truck his mechanics friends, and

820
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: that is what they recommend that. I checked with a

821
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: local Loto parts store and they quoted me thirty eight

822
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 1: dollars per coil. Okay, I ordered ten online for seventy dollars.

823
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 1: Here's the scary part. And this is why I'm reading this, um,

824
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 1: you know. And it ended up he had his frustrations

825
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: and um this is from Ralph. Ralph did a great

826
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: job and he changed all the coils and plugs. Um, Ralph,

827
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,479
Speaker 1: if you're listening or when you get this, if everybody else,

828
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: I'm a little concerned about buying coil packs for seven

829
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: dollars a piece, all right. That kind of bothers me.

830
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: Unless it's you know, unless it's an eBay garage sales.

831
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: Somebody had something O E level quality, because they're a

832
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: pain in the neck to change on a V ten

833
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: Ford pick up. All Right, you don't want to do

834
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: this job twice, so I don't need to go through

835
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: the whole email. It's a it's a great email. He

836
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: figured it, he figured it out. He's he fired it

837
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: up and you know, got the truck to run. And

838
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: he asked me what trick they used to get the

839
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: seven and nine plugs in the Ford V ten remove

840
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 1: the heater hose. Yeah, whatever I've gotta do. I mean,

841
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: it's been known to happen. And the real great trick

842
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: is on some of these Ford where you have to

843
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: remove the heater host to get the spark plug out.

844
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 1: Then all the coolant runs out of the hose and

845
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: it runs into the spark plug. Well, so and it

846
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: fills that up. And that's that's a whole another challenge

847
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: unto itself. So, but just be mindful. I understand everybody

848
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 1: wants a bargain, but understand that sometimes that bargain comes

849
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: at one heck of a price. And you know, that's

850
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: that's really what you've what you've you know, you've got

851
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: to be aware of so um. You know that that

852
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: becomes an issue as well. Just just be mindful of that.

853
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: That's that's from real Um. This one comes to us

854
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: from Bob Goodman. We're doing emails. Can you recommend the

855
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 1: scanner for home use that will work on Dermax a

858
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: oh area code. You'll tell you, Bob, I can, and

859
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it right after I return from this

860
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: zero zero running any of the car doctor. We're back

861
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 1: right after this. When I was little, I didn't talk

862
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: for a long time. I like things to always be

863
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: the shame. Anything new or different with scaring upset me.

864
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: I was very sensitive to lights and sounds. It was

865
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: almost like I had bigger eyes and ears than everyone else.

866
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: So I built secret hiding places where nothing could get in.

867
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,919
Speaker 1: I didn't like looking people in the eye. It made

868
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: me feel uncomfortable. I throw big tantrums over little things,

869
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: like when my active match. Sometimes I do the shame

870
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: things over and over until one day I found out

871
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: I had autism. My family got me help. Slowly I'll

872
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,879
Speaker 1: learn how to live with it better. You can see

Speaker 1: one problem that's just got me stumped. Childhood hunger. Nearly

898
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: sixteen million children in America's struggle with it. That's one

899
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 1: in five kids who may not know where their next

900
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: meal is coming from, despite the fact that there's more

901
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: than enough healthy, nutritious food out there to feed them all. Now.

00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: You've got to collective collection of vehicles there, but they

915
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: are all O B D two compliant. By the way,

916
00:48:56,640 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: the team Dermax never ever, ever, ever, ever want to

917
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: do a rear main seal, or if you do, make

918
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: sure you have the tool. I was helping a shop

919
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: around the corner from us. They got involved in doing

920
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: a flywheel protector plate on the back of a Dormax

921
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: diesel this week and they didn't have the right tool

922
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: to drive the remains seal and there's just no way

923
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: to do it. It's it's it's it's a very complicated

924
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: two piece design rotating seal and you need to either

925
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: make the tool that Todd made. Todd took a sprague

926
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: out of a transmission and spent half a day on

927
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: the machine shop at the machine shop making it, or

928
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 1: you spend a hundred fifty bucks and you buy the

929
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: uh the tool online. But anyway, um, you know what,

930
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: Launch has some very good stuff out there and it

931
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: kind of depends upon your price. Point, do you want

932
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: to just look at O B D two diagnostics? Do

933
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: you want vehicle specific manufacturer so you can get into

934
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: some of the special functions and actuation tests. Launch has

935
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 1: some great stuff. Mac tools has some great stuff as

936
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: a matter of fact. And it's it's it's at of

937
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: your price point, you're gonna be testing the top of

938
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: the line Mac tools. I think it's an m D

939
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: ten and B T tin. I would probably know the

940
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: name of the tool I'm testing, uh this year so

941
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: of YouTube videos of that. But you know, the stuff

942
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: from Mac tools is very good. Um, if you go

943
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: online and get out to eBay, some of the stuff

944
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 1: from O T C still, in my opinion, is still

945
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: a good tool. The Genesis is a good tool. You

946
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: may not get updates for it, but the price point

947
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: becomes cheaper and and that's the key something to keep

948
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: in mind. You can you can look on eBay for

949
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: older tools from shops that have graduated to newer stuff

950
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: and maybe on your older vehicle, it saves you a

951
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: bunch of money. Um. You know, so you're you're you're

952
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 1: ahead of the curve. So you know, take a look

953
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: at those two or three ideas and see what that

954
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: does for you. You can't always break the bank and

955
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: go buy something from snap on. But you know it's

956
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: to me, a scan tool is gonna be outdated two

957
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: or three years after you buy it. So it's all

958
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 1: about bang for the buck, um, it really is, especially

959
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 1: with the way technology is growing. Hey, just a quick point,

960
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,520
Speaker 1: all right, this is January? Is this January? Tom? Yes?

961
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: I can hear his head rattling, and um it is January. Uh,

962
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, we are three months into winter in my mind,

963
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 1: because you know, we're we're three months from cruising season.

964
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 1: So if you've got a classic or something vintage around

965
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: the house, and I don't mean your wife or your

966
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: girlfriend or both, whatever the case might pay, I'm talking

967
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: about the car and the driveway or in the garage, Um,

968
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: probably be a good idea if if you don't have

969
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: the ability to, if you haven't thought about it, to

970
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,399
Speaker 1: go out there and start it and run it or

971
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: you know, you know, crank it over a little bit,

972
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 1: change the position of the valves and the valve springs

973
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: and the pistons and all that sort of stuff. Because

974
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: we've got another three months of winter to go. So

975
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: if you've got a collectible out there. You want to

976
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,280
Speaker 1: make sure that you do that. That's always that's always

977
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 1: something good as as as part of the process. Just

978
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: uh just that, gosh aren't important. So um, nothing else

979
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 1: this week? Right, we're kind of done. Um, Bob Brendan

980
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: wants to know about buying a scan to I'll answer him,

981
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: well fair. He wants to program key fobs and all

982
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: these other crazy things. Um, so we'll talk about that. Um.

983
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do this week? Tom? Anything? Good?

984
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: Work work, fix the phones. That's Tom's mantra because if

985
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: he doesn't, I'll have to help him, because as we

986
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: all know, I'm not an any in the car doctor.

987
00:51:56,800 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: The mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. Let's see you one

988
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,520
