1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: Ron An Aian, you know, somewhere along the way, I

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: wish there was a rule that you're not allowed to

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: work on anybody's car until you've done work for them prior,

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,079
Speaker 1: so you know whether they're a raving luma tip or not,

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: or whether they're gonna understand when you say, hey, by

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: the way, you need two thousand dollars more worth of

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: this because this was frozen and rusted.

8
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: In the case the.

9
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, is it a rear drum car or a

10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: rear disc car? Were drum the rear drum breaks will

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: outlast you. Meet Tom and this radio show. You never

12
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: put rear brakes on an escape. I don't know why

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: they work. It's not a question of that they work.

14
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: They just last forever. Man, it's just crazy. Welcome to

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: the radio home of ron An Aian, The Car Doctor.

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,559

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

18
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: the phone and call in the garage doors opening, but

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: I am here to take your call at eight five

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: five five six ninety nine hundred and no pe running

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, I have a great life, I really do.

23
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: I get to go to work every day, I get

24
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: to fix cars, I get to come up here on

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: the weekends and talk to you guys, and it's just

26
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: a good time I have. I have. You know, I'm

27
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: learning to have zero complaints if that's possible, you know,

28
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: because you got to appreciate the moment, right you got

29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: to be in that moment. I had to go to

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: motor vehicle this morning, and in New Jersey. New Jersey's

31
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: kind of a weird state to get a vehicle do

32
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: anything right titled inspected. You know, New Jersey is a

33
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: funny state. To inspect the vehicle in New Jersey have

34
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: a choice. You can go to a private garage where

35
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: there's a fee somewhere typically between fifteen one hundred dollars,

36
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, and rightfully so, because they're buying equipment, they're

37
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: going through training, they're going through jumping through a pile

38
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: of hoops to climb the mountain of right and to

39
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: put a stick around a vehicle inspect it. Or you

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: can go to the state for free. So it's always

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: it's always an interesting lopsided conversation whenever somebody new comes

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: in and says, hey, I need an inspection, and you know,

43
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: kind of lay it out for him. But getting a

44
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: title and a registration in New Jersey is even stranger.

45
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: You know, there's a motor vehicle inspections I'm sorry, a

46
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: motor vehicle registration office DMV services office. Oh literally eight

47
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: minutes from the house all right where we live. And

48
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: yet in order to get a vehicle titled because I

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: had a title and register a vehicle today, in order

50
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: to register and title a vehicle, I had to drive

51
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: an hour and five minutes away to the western side

52
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: of New Jersey because they don't do it at the

53
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: one office that's six seven minutes from the house. And

54
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: I've lived in New Jersey all my life. I never

55
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: knew Jersey was this big. I mean, it just kept going.

56
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: I thought I was in Pennsylvania. At one point, I'm like,

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: where is this out by Branchburg, Pen out by Branchburg,

58
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: New Jersey. And I started thinking about the hoops that

59
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: people have to jump through in order to just drive

60
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: a vehicle. You know, it's just kind of funny, but

61
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: we do it. And naturally I got there and motor

62
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: vehicle was real crowded and you know, just a lot

63
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: of people all going through the same and all saying

64
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: the same thing. Hey, I live on the east side

65
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: of the state. What do I have to drive to

66
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: the west side of the state five counties away in

67
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: order to get a vehicle titled? And I don't know.

68
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: I wonder if any other states go through that. If

69
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: you have that, and that's why I tell you this

70
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: as we kick off this hour of the Car Doctor.

71
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: You know, how difficult or hard is it to get

72
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: your vehicle titled or registered in your state? You know,

73
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: because there are some states they don't even care if

74
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: you have a title. You need a bill of sale.

75
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: I think if you have a document that says, hey,

76
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: I purchased X y Z from Fred and you know

77
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: I paid five hundred dollars for it and here's the

78
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: vin I think I think you get a title right.

79
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: If you can elaborate on that and shoot me an

80
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,839
Speaker 1: email ron at cardoctorshow dot com. I'd like to hear

81
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: what it's like in your state to get a vehicle

82
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 1: title register and then we'll talk about it up here.

83
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: We'll put it up here on the you know, on

84
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: the airwaves. Order repairs. A question of timing I've learned.

85
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: Especially this week, we had a I think it was

86
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday. I forget what day it was, but

87
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: we had a a Chevy Tahoe that was dropped off

88
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Must have been Monday. God, Monday was

89
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: so long ago. It seems like Monday was. Well, it

90
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: was a week ago. Look at that, you know, and

91
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: it needed a starter, and you know, no starts we handled.

92
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: No starts are always difficult for a repair shop because

93
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: you're always pushing something. You know, in most cases, you know,

94
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: if it's a if it's a if it's a no

95
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: fuel problem, you can drive the vehicle in on propane

96
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: if you know how to do it with a small

97
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: bottle and a little bit of luck. But you know,

98
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: no cranks are always a pain in the neck because

99
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: it won't crank, you can't start it. So what it

100
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 1: repairs a matter of timing.

101
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: You know.

102
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: I love my engineer Tom. He's the best because somehow

103
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: he figured it out. Danny and I are pushing this too, this,

104
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of tons Chevy Tahoe into the

105
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: bay and just as we're making the turn in running

106
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: out of steam, here comes Tom to leave his vehicle

107
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: so we could put tires on it this week. And

108
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: he started talking to him, like, Tom, shut up getting

109
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: the car and hang on to the steering wheel. Okay,

110
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: if nothing else, Tom is trainable, you know, he just

111
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: kind of listens to orders and we're able to get

112
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: it in. But it makes the argument too, you I

113
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: wonder how other shops do it. You know, how does

114
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: a one man band, you know, move vehicles around. It's

115
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: got to be difficult, you know, when you're seeing more

116
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: and more. I think the statistics say that there are

117
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: more less than three people in a shop repair shops

118
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: now in America than there ever was before. In other words,

119
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: big shops don't exist as much as they used to,

120
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: and for a lot of reasons. And you know, it

121
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: just makes you wonder the added stress and grief I

122
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: always wanted to get. They used to they made him

123
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: in the sixties and the seventies. It was like a

124
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: little push cart. I was like a fancy go cart

125
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: that you know, had some ballast in it. You could

126
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: push vehicles around in the parking lot. But then I

127
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: look at modern vehicles today and I wonder, you know,

128
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: can you push a modern vehicle around with the plastic bumper, uh,

129
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: you know, without damaging it. And I think that's why

130
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: they went away. I think that's what that's what that's

131
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: what made everybody get rid of them. So it just, uh,

132
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, just just became that. But in any event,

133
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: that's just just some things from the shop.

134
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: This week.

135
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: It was a funny week in the shop. And I

136
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: know I say that a lot. I always say I

137
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: was a strange week. But it was a strange week.

138
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: You know, every business, every business has a number, right

139
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: You've you've got to hit this number in order to

140
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: be profitable that week because you're trying to be profitable because,

141
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: believe it or not, you're trying to make money so

142
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: you can stick around and be there for the next

143
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: time that somebody needs you. And you know, that's how

144
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: you make your living. So you always look at car count,

145
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: car count versus profitability. You know, where's where's the sweet spot.

146
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: I got to tell you, it was a strange week.

147
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: You know, we made we made the number on seven

148
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: cars and you know, it's like it was like almost

149
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: one one and a quarter car a day, very strange.

150
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: You know, there were other projects going on in the shop.

151
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: We worked on a bunch of things this week. I

152
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: actually had to spend money on the Ranger this week,

153
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: the ninety seven Ranger, which is coming up on thirty

154
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: years old in three years. The air conditioning broke and

155
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: we had to get parts and trying to find parts

156
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: of that, it's a whole nother I go, you know, boy,

157
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: that's getting to be a pain in the neck. But

158
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, it was funny everything this week. This is

159
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: a tire and break repair week week. You know, everybody

160
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: just wanted to this that kind of stuff. And then

161
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: some of the surprises. Air conditioning broke this week. It

162
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: got fixed, like how hot and humid it is around

163
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: outside around most of the country, and the air conditioning thing,

164
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: it caused an incident, and I wanted to tell you

165
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: about this. I'm telling you all this because I'm leading

166
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: up to this. I need your questions, I really do,

167
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why, because I've come to the realization,

168
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: as self serving, as egotistical as this may sound, I've

169
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: come to the decision that I have a lot of

170
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: information in my head that I forget that I have.

171
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: If that sounds right, And you know you asked me

172
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: a question, I'll get an answer. And sometimes I answer,

173
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: I don't even realize what I'm doing.

174
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: I just do it.

175
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: We were at the gym this week, and you know

176
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: early I go to the gym early here and we're

177
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: doing CrossFit. I'm doing CrossFit with the kids, as I

178
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: call it, because I'm the old guy in the place.

179
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm the very old guy on the place. And somebody

180
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: was talking about the air conditioning not working properly at

181
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: CrossFit Bison.

182
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: And.

183
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: They said to me, Ron, what do you think is

184
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: wrong with my air conditioning? And you know, I launched

185
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 1: into a diatribe about what kind of vehicle is it?

186
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: And are you using it properly? And the more I talked,

187
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: I noticed the more I talked, the less everybody did.

188
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: Everybody just kind of slowed down and stood there and listened.

189
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: And by the end of the four and a half minute,

190
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: five minute dissertation on how to properly use air conditioning

191
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: and what the recirculation button means and how the basics

192
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: of an air conditioning system works because it's not making

193
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: the air colder, it's conditioning the air. And the lower

194
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: blow speed makes colder air than higher blower speed. Why

195
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 1: because there is a longer period of time for the

196
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: air to absorb and dissipate heat, back and forth process

197
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: against the evaporator coil the piece under the dashboard, and

198
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: I got done, and somebody said, wow, that was great.

199
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: Can you do that again tomorrow? What are we going

200
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 1: to talk about tomorrow? And I realized that you know what,

201
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: you guys are looking for information on very specific things

202
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: and in the moment things. And you know what's bothering

203
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: you this week? You know, are you trying to get

204
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: your vehicle back up and running after it was flooded out?

205
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: Are you trying to survive a heat wave with bad

206
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: air conditioning? Are you trying to take a trip and

207
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: you don't know how to prep it? Those are the

208
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: questions I want. I want all everything else, but I

209

Speaker 1: harder to answer individual emails, all right, just by the

00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: sheer volume. But I try to address every single one

Speaker 4: on the air with Ron eight five five five six

244
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 4: zero nine nine zero zero. Speaking of Ron, here he is.

245
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: And by the way, just for the record, I was

246
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: grateful that Tom did show up because without him it

247
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: would have been a real struggle pushing that van and

248
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: that that Chevy tallow and how big was that?

249
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: Hew?

250
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: Do you mean the Chevy Behemoth. Yeah, the Chevy Behemo.

251
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: That thing was huge, right Tom, It's uh, oh my god,

252
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: and trying to steer it with no power home right, goodness.

253
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: It makes you wonder what happens a vehicle gets disabled

254
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: on the side of the road, the belt breaks, you

255
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: lose steering, you're doing seventy five miles an hour traveling along.

256
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: You know the safety, you know the safety aspect of that,

257
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: which is one of my arguments as long as we're

258
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: here real quick against you know this self driving car concept,

259
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: regardless of brand, that you know if there's a defect,

260
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: if steering fails, if you know something affects on a

261
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: gas vehicle, right, you know, like I'm thinking, I still

262
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: think about that GM commercial with the GMC pickup truck

263
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: doing you know, self steer, you know, self driving, and

264
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: it's got the family of four sitting there playing cards

265
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: at the console and they're towing a trailer and they're

266
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: going over the bridge. And you know, there's a classic

267
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: example if the power steering belt breaks, if if something

268
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: kicks out, if the car gets a flat right over

269
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: the guardrail. You know, hello, anyway, common sense has to prevail.

270
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: But Tom, we were really gratefully you showed up. But

271
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: that was great, that was great. Let's uh, let's go

272
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: over to let's go let's go over to Holly in Maine.

273
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: O seven hond a c RV. I'm sorry, oh seven

274
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: Honda Civic. What's going on, Holly? How can I help.

275
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: Hi?

276
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 4: This?

277
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 3: My caire is a CRV.

278
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: Okay.

279
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 3: The temperature control has a weird court to it. I

280
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 3: understand when you put on the air conditioner for or

281
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 3: put on the defrost, the air conditioner kicks in just

282
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: to dry stuff out. And there's another selection for defrost

283
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 3: and feet. If I put it over just on feet

284
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 3: and don't have the AC on, it still stays super cold.

285
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 3: On AC, I could drive fifty miles.

286
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: In my reason, Okay, do you do you have it set?

287
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: Do you ever set the cold or do you have

288
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: it set the hot?

289
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: I have it set to cold.

290
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: Okay. If you haven't set the cold, then the AC

291
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: is going to be on. It doesn't it doesn't care position.

292
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: That's that's a primitive system by comparison to a moderate

293
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: to a newer vehicle. All right, if you haven't set

294
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: the cold, it's it's going to still produce cold air

295
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: like that.

296
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 3: Not if I if I, if I go from the

297
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 3: other side and put the air on on the feet

298
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,599
Speaker 3: without having had the defrost on, whatever ambient temperature is,

299
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 3: that's what I get blown out at the feet.

300
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: Right, you're saying, Right, you're saying if you put it on,

301
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: if you put it on at your feet, the A

302
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: and the AC, the AC is blowing cold air down

303
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: on your feet.

304
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: No, I'm saying, if the AC is off, Okay, I've

305
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: switched from defrost from defrost and feet just a feat.

306
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: But the AC is not engaged. It still stays really cold.

307
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: Okay. Is the AC compressor on? Would be the first

308
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: question no, No. If the AC compressor is not on,

309
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: then it's cold because you've got the temperature set too low.

310
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: Not when it's one hundred degrees out.

311
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: Well, then the AC compressor has to be on. I

312
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: know of no other way that the vehicle deuce cold. There,

313
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: so I asked, is the AC compressor on?

314
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: Is it on or not?

315
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, the button has not been engaged for it.

316
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: To be on.

317
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: Light right, but is the compressor on? If you were

318
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: to get out and look under the hood, if your

319
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: mechanic were to look under the hood, is the AC

320
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: compressor clutch engaged? Yes or no?

321
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: It probably would be okay if it is.

322
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: Then if it is, then that's a mistake. Well, you're

323
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: you're you're you're getting ahead of yourself. If if the

324
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: if the compressor clutch is on and you've commanded it

325
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: and requested it to be off, then the car is broken.

326
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: And what I would do is I would diagnose it

327
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: from there. It sounds like the AC control head, the

328
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: piece the button that you're touching inside the vehicle. It

329
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: sounds like the control head has a problem. They did

330
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: have issues with that. It was it was a very

331
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: common thing. We call it a pen eleven, repair Pin

332
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: eleven and the brown wire going to the back of

333
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: the heater control panel. If we pull that brown wire

334
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: out and the compressor disengaged, if it was engaged even

335
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: though it's commanded off, tells us that the control panel

336
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: is still providing input to the PCM, telling it to

337
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: turn on even when it's not supposed to, and that

338
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: it's a bad control panel, so it needs to be diagnosed.

339
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: But the first step is are we getting cold there

340
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: because the compressor is on? Yes or no. I'm not

341
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: asking for another answer. I'm just saying that's that's the approach.

342
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: Capeche makes sense, Yes, it does, Okay.

343
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: The only thing is if it's the air conditioner, the

344
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: defrost does not get on and it's not turned.

345
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: On, and I put whatever you know right, you get

346
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: cold there?

347
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: No, I don't. I if I don't have the dfrost

348
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 3: on first and switch over to the feet, it's it's weird.

349
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: It's no, it's it's the sequence that you're doing it. Okay.

350
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: You're telling me if you use the AC all right,

351
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: so you're telling me if you if you use the

352
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: frost and and turn off the frost and put it

353
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: down to your feet the AC is not on, you

354
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: still get cold air at your feet, right, correct, Okay, yes,

355
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: And if you turn on the AC normal, it'll work.

356
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: If you turn off the AC normal, it will work

357
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: right right, Okay. I'm telling I'm telling you, if you

358
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: can duplicate the problem, if you and and get it

359
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: to the point where it's cold air and you've gone

360
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: from the frost to whatever the position you want to

361
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: go to, and the compressor clutch is running right that

362
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: the compressor is still engaged, I'm telling you the fault

363
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: is likely in the control head because this was a

364
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: common problem. We saw a lot of this, just just

365
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: like you're describing.

366
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: Okay, So it only happens with the feet, It doesn't

367
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 3: do it with the right the head.

368
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: Okay, right, you got to it's it's right. It was

369
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: Penn eleven brown wire. The diagnosis begins there, all right, Holly,

370
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: I understand, gotcha? Uh yeah, anyway, or because you probably

371
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: won't find the control head, just do it in the

372
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: other sequence and it'll work fine and save yourself the money.

373
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm running any in the car doctor, I'll be back

374
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: right after this and we are back. Welcome back, ron

379
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: to Thomas speaking of going in Tennessee, Oh six, on

380
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: to CRV. What's going on? I was not going to help.

381
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 4: How's it going, Ryn? I just wanted to say, it's

382
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 4: truly an honor to talk to you, longtime listener, first

383
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 4: time caller. I'm hoping you can help me out with

384
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 4: an oil consumption problem I'm having with my Honda. It's

385
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: got it's got two hundred and twenty five thousand miles

386
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 4: on it just broken out, just broken in so about.

387
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: I've been dealing with this for several months. So it

388
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 4: started out where it just wasn't running quite right. You

389
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 4: know when you have a car that you're drive on

390
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 4: all the time, you know when it's not quite right right.

391
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 4: And so I decided I wanted to clean the clean

392
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 4: the throttle body. And so when I pulled the I

393
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 4: pulled the intake pipe going from the air box to

394
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 4: the throttle body. It was literally dripping with oil. And

395
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 4: so I tracked it down to there's a pipe that

396
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 4: comes off the very top of the bowel cover that

397
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 4: goes over to the air box, the where the air

398
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 4: filter and everything is, and it seems like that's where

399
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 4: the oil was coming from. The first thing I thought

400
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 4: of was maybe, you know, maybe the maybe the crank

401
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 4: case had pressure or something. Sure, the first thing I

402
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 4: did was I bought a Honda ACV valve, and by

403
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 4: the time I got to the value, you know, it's

404
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 4: sort of it's right below the fur steering pond. It

405
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 4: was kind of hard to get to. Of course, whenever

406
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 4: I pulled it out.

407
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: It didn't yeah, you go ahead, go ahead, Thomas.

408
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 4: So when I pulled it out, it rattled. It didn't

409
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 4: seem like it was bad. But you know, since I

410
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 4: already had the part I put it in anyway, and

411
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 4: that didn't seem to fix it. It's still it's still

412
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 4: uh getting all in the in the uh intake rape there,

413
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 4: and I'm not really sure where to go from there.

414
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: How much how much oil? How much oil are you

415
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: are you going through?

416
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: I would say it's probably about maybe three quarters of

417
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 4: a court freeteen hundred two thousand miles.

418
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: Okay, not really considered excessive, but I understand your concern,

419
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: all right, you know, this crazy industry on men says

420
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: a court every thousand miles is acceptable.

421
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 3: You know.

422
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: Heck, there are some there are some imports out there

423
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: that a quarter oil and five hundred is okay by them.

424
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: I didn't realize we were making two strokes, but uh,

425
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's just the nature of the beast.

426
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: You know, at two hundred and twenty five thousand miles

427
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: this is in six Yeah. One of the problems, one

428
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: of the problems Honda had this generation of engine was

429
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: they were running a very low tension oil ring, and

430
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: over time, regardless of best efforts, uh, you know, the

431
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: oil ring will start to stick and bind and not

432
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: be able to do its job, and it just can't

433
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: sit out against the cylinder wall and scrape and clean

434
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: and control oil. And the compression rings really can't do

435
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: it on their own. They need that oil ring. They're

436
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: working one hundred percent. So you know, all of a

437
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 1: sudden you develop a blow by problem or a too

438
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: much crank case pressure problem. You know, you're actually pushing

439
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 1: oil up into the combustion chamber and it's working its

440
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: way back up and you're over pressurizing the crank case,

441
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 1: and you know, having those issues. That being said, all right,

442
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: there's there's two approaches I would do, because the third

443
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: approach would be pull the engine and rering it, which

444
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: I don't think is practical at this age in mileage.

445
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: You know, if it's working three quarters of a court

446
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: in two thousand miles really is an extreme.

447
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 3: You know.

448
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: Obviously, get down to your local AutoZone. What sort of

449
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: crank case cleaner do they have anything? You know, there's

450
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: all sorts of miracles in a can, any particular brand

451
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: that looks good. Read the reviews. Does anybody talk about, hey,

452
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: this will de sludge, d clean, et cetera. All right,

453
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, just trying to free up sticky rings. When

454
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: that doesn't work, and again I'm just taking you through

455
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: the steps. The next thing I want you to try,

456
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: or maybe you could try this first, is what if

457
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: you left the dipstick sticking up? Oh, I don't know,

458
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: a quarter of an inch, just so it doesn't seal. Right,

459
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: there's crank there's crank case pressure relief right there. And

460
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: does that solve the problem at least then you'll know

461
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: it's crank case pressure and it's not something in the

462
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: cylinder head itself. It's not a valve guide related issue,

463
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: because at two hundred and twenty five thousand miles, I

464
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: think you said, you know, it could be anything. At

465
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: least this kind of points us in a direction.

466
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 4: No, right, right, Well, it's getting to it's progressively kind

467
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 4: of getting worse, right to the point where oil is

468
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 4: actually getting into the spark plug tubes. Well, it's not

469
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 4: in all of them, it's it's it's only been in

470
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 4: the first one, the very first cylinder, close to the

471
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 4: to the front of the engine, and it's getting to where,

472
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 4: you know, I sort of have like a little miss

473
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 4: here and there, and I decided I was going to

474
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 4: check the spark plugs, and all all of them look

475
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 4: pretty good except the very first one. It's actually getting

476
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: all into that into that spark plug tube, and and

477
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 4: it gives a misfire.

478
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: Okay, well all right, then then then we've got a

479
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: bigger issue. But wait a minute. You're saying you're getting

480
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: oil in the spark plug wells where the boots go in.

481
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 4: Correct, right, I mean when you pull it, when you

482
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 4: pull the when you pull the coal, like the very end,

483
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 4: I mean the very end of the tube is like

484
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 4: the very end of the coal that goes over the

485
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 4: spark plug. Is well just cod and.

486
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: Oil, right, Well, then that's that's that's the valve cover itself.

487
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: If I remember how that layouts set up, right, that's

488
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: because it's going down into a cavity in the valve

489
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: cover itself. That's the valve cover gasket that's leaking. So

490
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: you actually have you it sounds like you have two issues,

491
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: or you have one issue creating the second. You have

492
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: so much crank case pressure that you're actually pushing oil

493
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: into the spark plug well as a result, because now

494
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: the gasket has failed. Okay, so if you want to

495
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: really try this, take the dipstick out. Do you have

496
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: a vacuum gauge. Do you have a gauge that reads

497
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: vacuum pressure?

498
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 4: I don't have one, but I can get one.

499
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: Get one right, figure out a way to figure out

500
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: a way put it. Take the dipstick out, put it,

501
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: Put it right on top of the tube. You know,

502
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: come up with a little plastic nylon fitting a little

503
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, plastic tea or a splice. Put it into

504
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: the tube so that you know you're actually going to

505
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: read engine vacuum. Take it for a ride. Do you

506
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: see pressure on the gauge. Do you see vacuum on

507
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: the gauge? What do you see on the gauge? All right,

508
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: if that, if that crank case is building excess pressure,

509
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: then we've got a bigger problem and it's probably it

510
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: is probably time to do a tear down on the engine,

511
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: as much as you don't want to hear that, but

512
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: at least at least.

513
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the thing is, it draws, you know,

514
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 4: I guess it draws really good, you know, I mean,

515
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 4: there's no codes, there's no you know, other than the

516
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 4: oil problem. It's it's really kind of a little car.

517
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: But it's starting to miss it's starting to miss fire, right, yeah, yeah,

518
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: So the fact that it's starting to missfire tells us

519
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: that you're also going to be beating up the catalytic converter.

520
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: So before this, you know, and then again at two

521
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: hundred thousand plus miles, okay, you know, where are we

522
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: at with the cat? So the real question here is

523
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: because understand that oil is going somewhere, it's passing through

524
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: the combustion process somehow, and it's burning and at some

525
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: point it's it's hitting the catalytic converter, it's hitting the

526
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: oxygen sensors. At some point, you know we're going to

527
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: do more damage. So the question is is this the

528
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: beginning of the end where we're just going to drive

529
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: it into the ground until it stops, or is the

530
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: car worth fixing? If you were to start with a

531
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: fresh motor and clean everything up, you know, would you

532
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: get another ten years out of it, depending upon what

533
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: kind of shape it's in, right, right, That's that's of

534
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: the decision. After you saw I mean, after you get

535
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: to the point if, like I said, if you want

536
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: to go through it with a vacuum of pressure, gauge

537
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: do you have you know, what do you have coming

538
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: out of the crank case, et cetera. But that's how

539
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: I would approach it. But at this mileage, at this age,

540
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: it sounds like it's it's probably time, you know, it

541
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: seemed it seemed bigger in better days, oh you know,

542
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: and then and then quite honestly, before I let you go,

543
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: what you also have to think about is it's an

544
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: six Getting parts is getting more and more difficult. They

545
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: hate to keep banging this drum, but I'm just telling

546
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: you the things that we couldn't get this week, you know,

547
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: for for eleven year old vehicles, never mind you know,

548
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: fifteen year old vehicles, so never mind twenty year old vehicles.

549
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: It's it's getting harder and harder. There is definitely clearly

550
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: a parts issue, and you know it's going to influence

551
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: our purchase decisions going forward. So all right, but there's

552
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: the tools you need, that's what you need to know

553
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: in order to kind of make a decision. Thomas, all right, okay,

554
00:27:58,800 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: all right, Kittle.

555
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 4: You appreciate your talking.

556
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: You're very welcome anytime, buddy, and you have a good

557
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: rest of the weekend. I'm ronning any in the car doctor.

558
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:21,719
Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Welcome back, run an

566
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: Ron in Arizona six rap four. I'm pretty sure this

567
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: is you because it can't be me. I'm here, How

568
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: are you? Ron? Welcome to the show. Yeses, it's me, Yes, me,

569
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: what's going on? Yes, sir?

570
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: At two thousand and six rab f six oller when

571
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: I started. Occasionally it'll make a noise like a chain.

572
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 2: Whether whether that's the STO motor or not, I'm not sure,

573
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: or whether it's something else. And I'm trying to diagnose.

574
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: That problem right there, higher mileage.

575
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: It doesn't happen all the time. Like a whole week

576
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: has gone by, right and I haven't heard it, and

577
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: then on the last day I did hear it.

578
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: How many how many miles are on this I would say.

579
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 2: It's over one sixty?

580
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: Okay. How good of your oil? Change? Has been.

581
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 2: Pretty good? Any check synthetic oil? Okay, I follow the rules.

582
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: Any check engine light on?

583
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 2: Though, no, the only light on is maintenance.

584
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: By okay, why is the maintenance light on? If you're

585
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: being good about oil changes?

586
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm talking about. We're coming up on

587
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 2: an oil change.

588
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: Here, okay, So what sort of common these will start

589
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: to make noises? They age, the change stretches and it

590
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: will be a random, intermittent thing. And one of the

591
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: items that starts to really fail in this is the

592
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: variable balve timing controls. The actuator. So what you could

593
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: do is have your mechanic going with a scan tool

594
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: and look at timing. All right, where's the intake and

595
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: where's the exhaust cam? You know it, is it where

596
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be? If it's commanding two degrees? Does

597
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: it get back two degrees or does it get back

598
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: four degrees because the chain is stretched and it can't

599
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: pull it where it wants to be. And you know

600
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: that that's an issue. You know, at one hundred and

601
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: sixty thousand miles, it's conceivable. Is this a hybrid? No,

602
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: this is a regular gas V six Yeah, okay, you

603
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: know that would be best guess at this point. The

604
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: other thing you could try it, since you're coming up

605
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: on an oil change, is why not collect an oil

606
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: sample and send it out for analysis? See contrary to

607
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 1: popular opinion, well contrary to popular opinion. I like oil analysis.

608
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: I just don't like to do it every oil change.

609
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that's necessary because there's not much I

610
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: can do about it. But if I've got an engine noise,

611
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: if I've got something going on that you know, and

612
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: I I'm glad to do an oil analysis then because

613
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, what's it going to come back and tell me.

614
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: It's going to come back and tell me, you know,

615
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 1: is there do they see bearing material? You know, do

616
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: they see anything? Is it clean? You know, are we

617
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: in the early stages? Is it something extaneous of the engine,

618
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: because this could also be outside the engine. This could

619
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: be in the alternator the way it works, This could

620
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: be in the ac compressor of the way it works.

621
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: In terms of noise. If the noise was consistent every time,

622
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: then you know, one of the first things we would

623
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: normally do is take the belt off and try to

624
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: start it, and you know, does the noise go away?

625
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: But working on an intermittent like this, all I can

626
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: do is run through some of the functional tests to

627
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: an oil analysis and keep an ear to it. Does

628
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,239
Speaker 1: it get worse, does it get better? And how does

629
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: it change?

630
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 3: All?

631
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: Right? Would the would the oil make any difference on

632
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: what type? Since ed goes no, shouldn't no?

633
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely not no. And I assume you're using the right

634
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: the right viscosity. I'm thinking O six, uh yeah, six

635
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: was a five twenty car or zero twenty car?

636
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: Yes? I think so?

637
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 3: Right? Right?

638
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: A zero twenty car? Correct?

639
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: I think so? Yeah?

640
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that sounds right, So, but yeah, that's you're

641
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: you're approaching it, right. That's the best you can do

642
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: at this point. Just keep an ear on it. And

643
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: the other question is does changing the oil make a difference?

644
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: Is the oil worn out that the viscosity is so

645
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: broken down? How many how many miles has it been

646
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: since the last oil change?

647
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: Uh huh, don'kay. I have the paperwork.

648
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: I'd have to check on that, right, you know, if

649
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: it's more than five thousand miles. And you know, I

650
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: have I have a daughter that she's you know, about

651
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: five hours away. She ended up tooking her car for

652
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: an oil change, a quickie, and when the dealer changed

653
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: the oil, they just gave her a mileage interval. They

654
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: didn't give her a timeline. And we had a conversation

655
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: about that because time and mileage both count, all right,

656
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: So you got to look at that, consider those things

657
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: and kind of work it from there. Run if you

658
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: need more of them. Here eighty five five six nine

659
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: nine zero zero running in of the car doctor, coming

660
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: back right after this.

661
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 3: Coming by.

662
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: Right up.

663
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 3: The back with things.

664
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: Fucking back running any of the car doctor. Boy, this

665
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: this hour just kind of this is like the week

666
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: at the shop. Right, you see how fast paced this was,

667
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: and this was slow compared to the week at the shop.

668
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: It's just everything was, you know, go go, go, go go.

669
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: It was just NonStop. I I it was funny, right,

670
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: we're putting crazy money into I don't know, ten twelve

671
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: fifteen year old vehicles. I sat there scratching my head

672
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: saying why. And I guess, you know, you start looking

673
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: at the price of a new car and then all

674
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden it makes sense. But what really caught

675
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: my eye this week and what really took my attention

676
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: this week, and let me take you in the shop

677
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: courtesy of auto Zone, is is beyond the spot decisions

678
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: that were forced to make because of the overwhelming amount

679
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: of work that came in anyone given time, in the

680
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: sense of, you know, something was coming in for an

681
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: oil change, Oh gee, this needs four four wheel brakes.

682
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: Zoop out to the AutoZone app all right, and or

683
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: get out to AutoZone pro dot com and you know,

684
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: look it up. You know, just all of a sudden,

685
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: it just it just it just it just doesn't stop.

686
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: And you're you're doing everything you can in terms of

687
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: trying to keep up. And I've got to say, I

688
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: probably wore out I probably wore out AutoZone this week

689
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 1: because we we we had so many deliveries for break

690
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: parts and durast and rotors and pads and so forth.

691
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: But it's it's it's a computer age. And I thought

692
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: about it. I said, you know, we couldn't move this

693
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: fast ten years ago or fifteen years ago when these

694
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: cars first came out. We're able to repair them faster,

695
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: get parts quicker because of computerization, because of the ability

696
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 1: to look them up online, match parts, look at numbers.

697
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful age. And it was a wonderful busy

698
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: week at the shop. And I think all the guys

699
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: are we to all Thozone for all that they did

700
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: for us this week. Look it up. It's time to

701
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: go till the next time. I'm Ronning Andy and the

702
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: car Doctor, grateful to be here and happy to serve

703
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: till the next time. Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

704
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: I'll see you
