1
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: Ronan. Actually, Tom, I'm a very famous person. Did you

2
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: know that? Are you? Yeah? I had a couple of

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: people tell me that this week. It was really kind

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: of funny. I mean she said, you're you're famous like

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian. I kind of killed the move, the Car Doctor.

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: If the electric car becomes so mainstream. The gasoline station

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: on the corner where we go to get gas, you

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: know they're there to sell gas. How are they going

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: to dispense gasoline to us and justify the expense? Welcome

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: to the radio home of ron Andanian, the Car Doctor,

11
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: since this is where car owners the world overturned to

12
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If your mechanics

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: giving you a busy signal, pick up the phone and

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: call in. The garage doors are open, but I am

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: here to take your calls at eight and now running.

16
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: All right, listen, there's two things we're gonna do right

17
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: off the bat. Number one, we're gonna let Tom know

18
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: that he's got to give the book away this hour.

19
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: You hear me, Tom, I just want reading it. I no,

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: I just you know, fifty years of Nissan Z We're

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: giving it away this hour. Come on right. And I'm

22
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: only twenty five years into it. I understand that, but

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: you know it's I can't blame your education. I can't

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: let your education slow down the process here. So that's

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: that's number one. So everybody, anybody that calls in this

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: hour is eligible. So just let's uh, let's let's let's

27
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: move this book along, because Tom, you gotta see the

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: book I got after this. I've got a book about

29
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: the mid mid mid engine corvette that I want to

30
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: give away. Oh oh yeah, and that one's that one's

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: really like wow. Um so it's just it's just it's

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: just neat. These book giveaways are great. Um, so, so

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: we gotta do that. That's number one. Then number two.

34
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: Dodge writes in, and he had been, he wrote in

35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. And I keep meaning to get to this.

36
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: Is it Dodge or don d O n G. I

37
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: think it's Dodge. I think we call him Dodge though

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: from I think he's down Virginia or Delaware, uh, somewhere

39
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: down that way. He's asking this question, Hey, Tom, if

40
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: a person was pumping fluid out via the trans cooling

41
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: line and pouring new fluid in through the trans phil tube,

42
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: had he keep the correct fluid level. He answered. He

43
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: says mostly peaceful Dodge, so we'll call him Dodge. Dodge

44
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: wants to know about trans fluid levels. We're talking about

45
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: doing a poor man's trans fluid exchange using the cooler lines.

46
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: The idea is and the fluid doesn't come zooming out.

47
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: But you know, if if you're pouring in while you're

48
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: going as long as and even if the trans ran low,

49
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: it's only gonna sputter. But you you don't have any

50
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: heat load on the trans. You're not engaged, you're not

51
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: going anywhere, and you're not running a dry I believe me,

52
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: you'd have to really not be prepared to run this

53
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: thing dry. And you're not so worried about level as

54
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: you are. Just as long as you've got fluid coming out,

55
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: you're okay. Once the fluid, you know, the dirty fluid

56
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: is out and you're now getting clean fluid, the idea is,

57
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: shut the vehicle off, hook your cooler lines back up,

58
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: all right, and now start to fill the trans. Now

59
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: you've got to keep in mind, if you ran the

60
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: trans to the point where the cooler lines started to

61
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: sputter and spit, you've got to assume the trans is

62
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: fairly low. So for conversation's sake, if it was a

63
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: twelve court transmission, I'd assume there's two courts in there.

64
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: I'd put in four, run it and check it. Nothing

65
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: on the stick, I'd put into run it and check

66
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: it okay, And you'll find if you do that, you're

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: probably gonna put between eight and ten quarts in a

68
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: twelve quarter. Uh. You kind of creep up on it,

69
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: and you know that's how you'll know so you don't overfill.

70
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: But that's basically it. We've done it this way for years,

71
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: um as the poor man's way to do a trans

72
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: fluid exchange on cars that we may or may not

73
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: be able to get into with the machine, and it

74
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: works fine. Again, you're not looking to put a heat

75
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: load on the trans. You're not running until it's squalding hot.

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: You're not running it dry with its sputtering for any

77
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: length of time, so the chance of an issue is

78
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: minimal at best. Um, And I've never lost the trans

79
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: doing it this way, so UM, I hope that answers

80
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: it for you. Anyway. Um, we got to go, Tom,

81
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: you're ready to do a radio show this hour? Ready

82
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: to Rock. Okay, I'm gonna go Rock. We're you gonna

83
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: send me Brian in New Jersey. Let's yes, sure, we're

84
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: gonna keep you in New Jersey. Right now, let's go there.

85
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to Brian in New Jersey. Twenty Cadillac Escalated. Brian,

86
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: Welcome up board, sir. How can I help hi? Ron? Uh? Yes,

87
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: just as you said, escalated, UM, I love your show.

88
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot for taking my call. Uh. So I

89
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: have a said escalated and it's brand new, um, and

90
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: it's my first GM vehicle. I've had Chrysler's for for

91
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: a long time. I've always had the five seven hemmy

92
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: and I know your your stands on crisis. I've never

93
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: never had any problems with them, got them up to

94
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: like two miles. UM. But I do change oil religiously,

95
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: transmission fluid religiously, so I definitely maintain them. Anyway, I'm

96
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: looking to get the most out of this car, um,

97
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: and what I'm looking online for just common problems. Common

98
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: issues of carbon cleaning is a big I think that

99
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: comes up. UM. And then some of the preventative items

100
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: are things that you mentioned before, such as Berryman and

101
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: the spray can. I guess through the induction method of

102
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: cleaning it as well as something seeing a lot of

103
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: stuff on catch cans uh, catch can you know, hi

104
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: quality cash cans, clean side catch can. UM. So I'm

105
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: just trying to get some ideas of you know, what

106
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: I can do to maintain it. You know, if I

107
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: did the spray um treatment you know before every oil change,

108
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: it's a catch can A good idea. If I do

109
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: the catch can, I get a clean side catch can

110
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: um and anything else that maybe you know goes along

111
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: with the GM, the six point to engine. Um. You know,

112
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: I've also heard that you know, maybe the six point

113
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: to engine have been redesigned in the past couple of

114
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: years to kind of prevent the carbon build up, but

115
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: only saw that in one area. So again, not not

116
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: familiar with gms too much, and just trying to get

117
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: the most out of a out of the engine the

118
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: longest life I can. You know, obviously viously doing um,

119
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: you know, fuel system maintenance in the way of an

120
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: additive in the tank every oil change, or at least

121
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: once a month, is a great idea. All right, UM,

122
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: if you can find Berryman, let's get Berryman. All right,

123
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: let's let's let's you know, what I like Berryman. I

124
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: think Barriman makes some of the best product out there's

125
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: just uh um. You know, depending upon where you are,

126
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: you may find that on Amazon, you may find it

127
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: at orillioto dot com, depending But the Berryman um hest

128
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: formula works great, great stuff with a g d I engine,

129
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: And that's what that cat he is. That's gasoline direct injection, right.

130
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: So it used to be where the injector sat behind

131
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: the intake valve and this just isn't GM. This is

132
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: all the car companies now Now they've moved the injector

133
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: underneath the intake vale, so it sprays directly into the cylinder.

134
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: Nothing cleans off the valel so nothing cleans off the valve.

135
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: So you know, even Berryman in the tank, as good

136
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: as Barriman is, it's never gonna get a chance to

137
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: get a shot at the valve. Hence the induction cleaning.

138
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: That's why you want to do an induction cleaning, because

139
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: that's gonna go down the throat of the intake and

140
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: clean the back of the valve. All right. Um, it's

141
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: getting to the point where where we're doing two types

142
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: of fuel system cleanings on g d I cars. And

143
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: I've started this within the last year. Where as they

144
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: get older and you're not you're not there yet. Induction

145
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: should be fine for you. UM, it's a little bit

146
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: of a science project in the works. If you understand

147
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: my meaning in that, you know you're gonna do an

148
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: induction cleaning. I think at fifty thou and you're gonna

149
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: do an injection cleaning at fifty thousand. You're gonna tie

150
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: into the fuel rail. You're gonna clean both sides, all right.

151
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: Part of the reason why you want to do the

152
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: injection cleaning, even though most cars today, a lot of

153
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: the cars today have self cleaning injectors, is you're still

154
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: gonna have some contaminant in there and and and flush out.

155
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: But you also want to be able to if you can.

Speaker 1: make it work like that. UM. You know the other

160
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: maintenance things obviously, you know, regular scheduled oil changes. Make

162
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,080

Speaker 1: want some really good oil, change information or oil spec information.

164
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: Take a look at Liquid Molly. Get out the Liqua

174
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: these extended oil drain intervals. Uh, you know, the lack

175
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: of maintenance. Remember, car companies don't sell maintenance. They sell cars,

176
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: and that's what they're trying to get you to do.

00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: I've been trying to do this. I'm not sure where

182
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: he is. UM, I'm actually had a UM let's do

183
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: uh okay, I want to get this one out of

184
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: the way live radio folks. I got a Hi Rontka

185
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: optimal four cylinder with an auto trans got her nine

186
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: thousand miles mostly original trans fluid. I say, mostly because

187
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: it had a drain and a fill at about eighty

188
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: thousand miles UM. Tom, if you're there, just cut right

189
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: in my GM world class technician friend will do the

190
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: exchange and believes in only using genuine KEYA SP three fluid.

191
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't break the bank. At eight six court. The

192
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: manual specifies I'm in a t F s P three,

193
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: s k A t F s P three and other

194
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: brands meeting SP three spects not very specific. Bottom line,

195
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: he says. Other brands that meet de spec or Aison

196
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: de Metzu, which I believe is the O A M

197
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: supplier and E knows all slightly less expensive than the

198
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: key of branded stuff. What are your thoughts on any

199
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: of these brands, and additionally, what do you think of

200
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: using a Wicks transfilter rather than paying twice as much

201
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: for a key original. I think you're fine with the

202
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: Wicks transfilter. I really do. I don't see the need

203
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: to to spend money on the KEYA. I don't think

204
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: that's I don't think you're gonna have to do that,

205
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: all right, so stay with the wicks. You'll be fine.

206
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: As far as what fluid to use. De Metsu is

207
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: the original trans fluid supplier, UM, and I think you're

208
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: fine with that. All Key is doing is buying it

209
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: from Dumetzo and rebranding it in their in their own package.

210
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: So you know what, if you can save a few bucks,

211
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: why not aison I'm not familiar with as a brand

212
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: of fluid. UM. As long as it meets KEYA spec

213
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: and it says SP three me on it, I'm okay

214
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: with it though. But your question is about I de

215
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: metzu um is at the O E. M supplier. Yes

216
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: it is, and uh you know that'll work just fine. Story,

217
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: So let's uh let's make that work and uh you

218
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: know you'll be good. Just follow the normal procedure. You

219
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: hear me talking about doing a trans cooler line with

220
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: regards to uh UM with regards to uh doing the

221
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: exchange itself, and uh, you know you'll be fine. Well,

222
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: I think we lost Tom, guys, so uh let's see

223
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,400

00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: here that um I mission called in on and uh,

229
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,800

Speaker 1: with two and thirty thousand miles on Sienna x L

232
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: E with seventy five miles. He replaced belts, he flushed

233
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: out the para steering fluids, coolant break fluids, and let's

234
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: see replace the valve cover. Found a lot of baked

235
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: down oil. Where is it doing? The engine changing you

236
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: all the multiple times with ten percent c foam? And

237
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: let's see the bus synthetic or synthetic blend or a

238
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: regular school oil three thousand miles cards. What are recommendations

239
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: on fluids only or no way equivalent as I did

240
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: use valvoine at f for transmission drained and uh fluid

241
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: going back and forth once So um okay, yeah, So

242
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: let's see any preventative majors I should use in this.

243
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: Um uh, let's see da da da da. Yeah. Um listen,

244
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: you're on the right track. You're doing your fluid changes.

245
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: You're doing everything you're supposed to do. You're uh, um,

246
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: you're doing you know what you've got uh is working.

247
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: So I would say, um, how much should I train

248
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: and plant fluid? Um? Listen doing a flu would exchange

249
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: or fluid change on that toyota at least every oh

250
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, fifty thou miles ws fluid. I think you'll

251
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: be fine, so um by all means do that and uh,

252
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: um you know you'll keep that thing going through college

253
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: as you as you recommend. As far as an oil

254
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: train interval is very convoluted email here. As far as

255
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: an oil drain interval on the other car, Let's see,

256
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: you're asking about oil residue. Berryman makes a really good

257
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: oil flush and you can find more at the Berryman

258
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,120

259
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: in the vehicle to help flush out the old oil residue.

260
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: And uh you know, make that work as well. So

309
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: Let me get to Brian and the luth Minnesota and

310
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: been waiting or yeah, that's the loose minut of throat.

311
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: I think that is even waiting up there very patiently. Brian,

312
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to boards. So you want to talk about Z cars,

313
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: I understand. Yeah, Well I'm as ego and I was

314
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: kind of interested in your take on them. I have

315
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: a n that I bought in uh all of two

316
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: after I graduated. I graduated, and I still have that car,

317
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: and they're just a fun car and with a lot

318
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: of performance. You know it. Just kind of interested in

319
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: your take on them. I think that the Z car

320
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: was really the early ones are forgotten and underrated because

321
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: I think they were phenomenal. Uh you know, I I

322
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: remember the original to FORTI Z. My late father in

323
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: law had one, and the only reason we didn't pay

324
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: that much attention to the two forties was because his

325
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: other car was a Maserati maraqu which which yeah, so

326
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: you know it was like which car did I want

327
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: to work on first? Um, you know, but when I

328
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: fixed the Maserati, that's what. That's what. That's when I

329
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: think they took me into the family. But um, you know,

330
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: the two forties has just got such a long legacy

331
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: of history and uh you know, it took square aim

332
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: at the Corvette back in the seventies and the eighties,

333
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: and I think it was I think it was direct

334
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: competition for it, and I think that's what helped drive

335
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: that car into the marketplace like it was. Um, you know,

336
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not the same car today. Now Nissan,

337
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: you know, still has their performance car. They've got and

338
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: I can't think of the model now and now I'm

339
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: gonna have a brain freeze, but um, they've got there.

340
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, they do have the three seventies.

341
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: They came back with the three and right and and

342
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: and then they've got something which isn't a Z above

343
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: that I forget what Nissan has. Um no, it'll it'll

344
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: come to me. I'll remember it after the after we're

345
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: off the year. But um, yeah, the Z cars, the

346
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: Z cars really are something that you know what, we

347
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: don't talk a lot about it. A lot of people don't.

348
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: They look at the new ones and they don't realize

349
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: what what created that and where that came from. So yeah,

350
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: it really is. Hey, Brian, I'll tell you what. Stay

351
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: on the line. Tom gave me the thumbs up. We're

352
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: gonna be sending you out Nissan fifty years of exhilarating

353
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: performance by Pete Evan. Now that's gonna be your books.

Speaker 1: us today, and thanks for waiting there on the line

358
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: while we worked our way through our problems. I'm running

359
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: Anating the car Doctor. We're back right after this. Don't

360
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: go away. What this car is automatic, it's systematic, it's hard, dramatic.

361
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: What's breeze lightningy welcome back. We're on Nating of the

362
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: car Doctor. You know, I think we have to address

363
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: last hour. Tom's gonna yell Menna, yell me anyway. You

364
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: know what Tom, Tom, that was? And you know I

365
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: can actual put a positive spin on that because that

366
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: was that was kind of humorous in a way once

367
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: I knew what was going on and that the Internet.

368
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't humorous for me because I was sitting here

369
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, all three of my screens

370
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: disappeared and my Internet service went bye bye. But yet

371
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: I still had you incoming, and we were off the

372
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: internationally the whole bit. Everything gone really yep and all,

373
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they just popped back in.

374
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, really, so the whole time I was talking,

375
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: were we there part of the time? Wow? Yeah, So

376
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: here's my here's my take on all this. All right,

377
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: imagine if that was an electric car trying to get

378
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: a signal from the internet. Oh yeah, what happened? Yeah yeah,

379
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. I mean you would have just run to

380
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: the run to a phone pole, right, So you know,

381
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: where's the redundancy in the backup? Where are they? How

382
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: are they going to make that work? I don't I

383
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: just don't see it. I just I just don't see it.

384
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: So but anyway, that was my Unfortunately, in this neck

385
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: of the woods with UH, with internet stuff, I don't

386
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: have any backup because I my other choice is a

387
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: slow DSL line that couldn't support anything that we do here,

388
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: so right right, um, listen, how often does it happen? I? Um,

389
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: you know it's not that often. But I do have

390
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: a I do have a guy on hold. I need

391
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: to get his information and you'll have a call in

392
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,479
Speaker 1: a minute. Okay. So yeah, I'm gonna finish up good

393
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: because I want to finish up my email from David

394
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: um back at the end of our debacle. There we're

395
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: doing an email from David Hey. Ron loved the show.

396
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: He liked we used Russia's opening monologue, their montage uh

397
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: two weeks ago yep, um car question. We recently bought

398
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: at explore xlt with her thirty thousand miles on with

399
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: the wife loves it. But I'm wondering how reliable are

400
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: these long term One thing I keep reading about is

401
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: the timing change driven water pump. Is this something I

402
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: need to be deathly afraid of and replace it a sappos?

403
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: Or is it not as common a failure as the

404
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: Internet makes it out to be. Thanks for the show

405
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: and keep up a good work. Well, first of all,

406
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: we know how we know how reliable or unreliable the

407
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: internet is, So I don't know if we want to

408
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 1: put any stock in that. You know, a fifteen Explorer

409
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: with a buck thirty thirty eight on it. You know, listen,

410
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: the cop cars go to two and a thousand miles um.

411
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: You got do some maintenance to it. If it hasn't

412
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: been done yet by all means, yeah, it's it's it's

413
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: time to think about doing a It's time to think

414
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: about doing a water pump because they are a common failure.

415
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: And you know, every car has got a weak link, right,

416
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: we talked about this all the time. Every car has

417
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: got a weak link. Every car has got it's it's albatross.

418
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: And on the Explorers of that generation, it's going to

419
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: be the power takeoff unit leaks down under on the

420
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: right side of the axle seal going out over the

421
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: top of the exhaust. The PTU unit leaks, and the

422
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: water pumps are abysmal um. They're buried inside the motor

423
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: and their timing chain driven. So to do them in

424
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 1: a lot of cases, a lot of these vehicles, some

425
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: of them you can do in the vehicle. Most of

426
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: them you're in up pulling the engine out and what

427
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: happens is it a hundred thirty eight thousand miles or

428
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,479
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand miles. He's failed. Between a hundred and

429
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty is where they start the leak.

430
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 1: I've seen him as early as eighty and you know

431
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: it gets to be expensive. You know, it's let's see

432
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: the lowest, the best I've ever seen. That job for

433
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: a water pump, um, water pump parts, labor coolant is

434
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 1: about twenty bucks. And then you go and do if

435
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: you do timing change, if you do the guides, if

436
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: you do any of the timing chain components. I've seen

437
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: that job go out the door at about thirty three

438
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: hundred bucks. You had, you had about a thousand dollars

439
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: in material and extra labor um. So you know, is

440
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: it worth it? Yeah? I think so, I because we're

441
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: gonna get a car for three grand. You know it's

442
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: it's that Explorer today, a new Explorers, a fifty sixty

443
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: thou dollar vehicle. So she likes it. You know, the

444
00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: engines themselves now two points. Number one, what of shape

445
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: is the oil? And has the oil? Have the oil

446
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: change has been done? What does the dipsticks show you?

447
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: What does it look like? That's number one and number two,

448
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: it's possible that the that the water pump has already

449
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: been done, it would be kind of h thirty eight

450
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: seven years old. You know, it might have been done already,

451
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: so you may want to have a mechanic look at it.

452
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: Can you tell if the covers have been off? You know,

453
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: does anything look disturbed? And make a decision from there.

454
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: But if you have any doubt, you know what better

455
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: to do it now rather than do it later and

456
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: be sorry because it does come at the worst possible time.

457
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: So um, But other than that, they're good vehicles, David,

458
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: they really are. And I appreciate your comments. And uh, um,

459
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: you know the uh listening to the podcast while you're

460
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: building lobster traps. Ah, beautiful, man, I can see the

461
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: imagery in my head. Let's go over to Jerry in

462
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: Minnesota and uh Jerry wants to comment about electric cars.

463
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: Electric car seemed to be a hot button topic. Jerry,

464
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to boards, sir. What's on your mind? I'm gonna

465
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need appropating furnace in my elect your car.

466
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: Can I get that from the factory or am I

467
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: going to have to install it myself? Well, what's gonna

468
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: happen to the guy in Minnesota. When you know your battery,

469
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: your electric consumption has to be higher, right because with

470
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: my with my heater on, if I went to the mailbox,

471
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: my batteries would be drained by the time I got home.

472
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: So where are they going to get these cars from?

473
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's almost like you wonder, are they

474
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,959
Speaker 1: lying to us? You know, do they know something we

475
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: don't know with regard to you know, they've got technology

476
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: somewhere that that you know, um uh, you know they

477
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: are they having problems somewhere that that I don't know?

478
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: You know? What are they thinking? Is my point? And

479
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: what about what about the rare metals that go into

480
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: the electric cars? Nobody's talking about those either. We don't

481
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: have the UM corner on the market like Red China does. Well,

482
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what the components for the battery of

483
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: the electric vehicle, the components for the battery of the

484
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: electric vehicle UM actually come out of North Africa. Okay,

485
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: That's where all the that's where all the components that

486
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: make the lithium ion battery is. And you know, you

487
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: hear stories that unfortunately the componentry is in the parts

488
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: of North Africa where there are terrorist regimes have control

489
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: over um you know, as the last I heard the story.

490
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, Paul Eisenstein of the Detroit Bureau

491
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: was telling us this the last time he was here,

492
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: that you know, so this is gonna become a political

493
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: hot potato, and you know that we're betting on this

494
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: um As to be the problem solver in fifteen years.

495
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I talked to um UH in

496
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: the first hour I was talking about I had to

497
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: call out to uh UM a s way of their

498
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: company out in California in Fresno that you know, sells

499
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: diagnostic test equipment and leads and scope stuff. And I

500
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: had ordered a few things this week, and I was

501
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: talking to Scott, one of the sales guys out there

502
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: that I talked to on a regular basis, and I,

503
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, what's you're feeling on this, Scott, where do

504
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: you see the electric cars going? And you know, he said,

505
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: he goes, I don't understand how we're gonna supply electricity.

506
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: He says, he's lived in California all his life. He's

507
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: in his he's in his you know, mid to late

508
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: thirties now. And he said, every summer we have electrical shutdowns,

509
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: brown outs, power offs. You know, because of air conditioning.

510
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: We don't have enough. We don't have enough electricity now

511
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: to power air conditioners. Now we're gonna power cars. Um

512
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: uh you know, so I I don't know how we're

513
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna do it. I really don't. Um. But not not

514
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: not the reason why. You know, Um, electric cars have

515
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: heaters in them right now they do. Um, they've got

516
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: a heating, they've got air conditioning, they've got radio. But

517
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, we're talking about a vehicle there there there

518
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: are no electric vehicles to speak up their decent quality.

519
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: They're they're all in that. You know. I hear stories

520
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: about the base testa that starts out at thirty five

521
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: and goes up to sixty and a heartbeat. Oh you

522
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: want an interior, or you want a seat that's comfortable,

523
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: or you want you know, bigger tires, you want a

524
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: color different than white. I think it is. Um, all

525
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it becomes a very expensive proposition. So uh.

526
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: You know, as I've said, you wonder where the masses

527
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: or how the masses are going to afford an electric vehicle. Um,

528
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make

529
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: any sense. So Yeah, now that's it. I understand. I

530
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: understand your concerned. Jerry. Listen, we're gonna all take the ride.

531
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: We're all gonna watch. We're gonna see what happens, and uh,

532
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: we'll go from there. Hey, listen, it's all part of

533
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: the change. You know. They must have a man ter

534
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: plans somewhere. We're just gonna be part of it. We'll

535
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: see what happens. I appreciate the call. I'm run on

536
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: any of the Car Doctor. We're back right after this

537
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: welcome back run of the Car doctrrate five five zero.

538
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: You know, I know electric cars are such a big

539
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: hot topic button, and you know all of your comments

540
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: are very much appreciated, and I have to sum it

541
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: up that, yeah, it doesn't make sense right like so

542
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: many of us and all of you, I haven't anybody

543
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: calling and say, hey, bring on electric cars. They're great.

544
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: And I'm not listen, I'm not trying to sit here

545
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: and say, hey, I don't think electric cars are the

546
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: thing of the future. I haven't said they're a bad

547
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: idea in that the technology. I'm just saying, where's the

548
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: technology gonna come from? How are we going to support

549
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: this on an all electric car environment, and that's the

550
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: part I don't get. And then I was thinking about,

551
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, and I used this in my opening comments

552
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: on Last Hour show in that you know what's gonna

553
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: happen you think about it. Anybody born this year will

554
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: be in an electric vehicle. They'll probably not have the

555
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to go out and buy an internal combustion engine

556
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: vehicle new by the time they get around to driving age.

557
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: And then I started thinking about what's gonna be driving age?

558
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: You know, are they gonna need a driver's license when

559
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: they turned sixteen, seventeen eighteen? Will they still get them?

560
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: And then how are the states going to support revenue?

561
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: Where's that going to come from? You know, what's what's

562
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: that gonna look like? And I did a little research,

563
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe there's a bigger plan here. Not

564
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: to make this sound like black helicopter conspiracy time, but

565
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: since the nineties here in New Jersey, and this is interesting, one, two, three, four, five,

566
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: motor vehicle agencies in North Jersey are gone. And the

567
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: issue is now you can only go to certain agencies

568
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: for licenses, you can only go to certain agencies for registration,

569
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: You can only go to certain agencies for state lane inspection.

570
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: It's a very bizarre set up, and it makes you wonder,

571
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, are they making a shift in how they're

572
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: doing motor vehicle agencies from twenty years ago where they're

573
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: looking this far down the road. Are they gonna need

574
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: as many agencies as they even have now? Who's gonna

575
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: need a driver's license? You'll always have to register a vehicle.

576
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: I guess maybe you'll have to get a use permit

577
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: to be able to use an electric vehicle, because you know,

578
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: when the electric vehicle gets set up, they're one step

579
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: away from self driving. And when you get self driving,

580
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: you know the game is over. Uh you know, you're

581
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: not gonna you're you're not gonna need a license to go,

582
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, do what you have to do.

583
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: And then I think, as we all witnessed this hour,

584
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: right internet died, We had three minutes of dead air

585
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: here on the show today, and I apologize for that again,

586
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: But if that was a self driving car receiving a signal,

587
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: what is it going to operate on? Geographic location known

588
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: memory value? It knew where it was the last time

589
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: it was on that street, so that street didn't change

590
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: in construction, so now it's gonna program and drive the

591
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: same path. How would that work? And what would that

592
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: look like? I I just wonder, Um, you know, it's

593
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: an awful lot of things are gonna have to change

594
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: in order for this to work. And uh, you know

595
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: it's it's becoming more and more and more of an issue.

596
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: So but um, in any event, zero zero and I

597
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: think we'll pull over, take a pause for the cause

598
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll finish up. I'm running any

599
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: in the car doctor zero, don't go away, We're back

600
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: right after this. It's not there. Hey, welcome back, running

601
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: the car doctor. I see Jerry from Wisconsin's got one

602
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: more comment about electric cars. Jerry, is this you again? Yes?

603
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: Go ahead? And I was just on the topic. Why

604
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: couldn't there be a second battery cell and then have

605
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: a transfer case or a PTO that could run a

606
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: generator And just like we used to switch fuel tanks

607
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,719
Speaker 1: from right to left, you could switch batteries from you know,

608
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: right to left and always have something charges. You'd never

609
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: have to stop and there wouldn't be more energy needed. Well,

610
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: you know it's possible, but you know, second battery transfer

611
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: case PTU, more weight, more expense, and where's all this

612
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: money going to come from? Now? You know, yeah, it's now.

613
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: Now what I think is gonna happen. The only thing

614
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: that makes sense to me unless you know, the aliens

615
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: come down from outer space and give us technology that

616
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: we're really looking for. Um is what I had read

617
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: and heard years ago. Is the way to make electric

618
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: cars that will work. And the way that they will

619
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: make them work is you will see gas stations slowly

620
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: converted into gas and electrification stations, and you will pull

621
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: into a gas electrification station and somebody will hot swap

622
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: your battery. They'll have a battery charged up. It'll be

623
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: a standard battery size. It will be like a big

624
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: giant cassette in you know out in boom reset five minutes.

625
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: You know what does it take to put gas in

626
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: a car three to five minutes? So if they can

627
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: do a battery swap in three to five minutes, but

628
00:34:55,160 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: you know, my questions become the expense, My questions become, um,

629
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: you know how rigorously really we're gonna have to test

630
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: these batteries. And you know how many cars? How many

631
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: cars pull into a gas station in an hour in

632
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: a busy time, on an eight hour shift. You're gonna

633
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: go through eight hundred a thousand batteries, correct, and then

634
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: who owns them when they're junk? You know? Right? And

635
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 1: then and then who stores them? You know you're gonna

636
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: have to but you're still gonna have to charge them, right,

637
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: You're you're still gonna have to have the capacity to

638
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 1: charge these these these taking something on board that could

639
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: charge it, you know, your secondary battery. But yeah, I don't. Yeah,

640
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: I'll just keep putting gas in the pick up. But

641
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: I really have to believe and hope that we're gonna

642
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: come to our senses. We got fifteen years, and that

643
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna pull us back from this precipice and say,

644
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: wait a minute, Well, you know what electric cars have

645
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: their place. Electric cars can do so good depending on

646
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: how it's structured. But to go all electric all the time,

647
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: all across the board, I don't know. Somebody's got to

648
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: have some kind of technology up their sleeve because I

649
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: just don't see it. And then we'll talk next week

650
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: about who's going to fix them. That's a whole another

651
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: conversation this time until the next time. I'm running eating

652
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: the car doctor reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

653
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: See you
