1 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Ron and Anian. We looked at the car with you know, 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: the car was way overdue for toil change, and I'm 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: not sure why. I think, well, I know why the 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: husband's in trouble with the wife because Maggie kept telling Paul, 5 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: bringing in, bringing in, bringing in, you know, he didn't 6 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: and it finally came in about five and a half, 7 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: almost six months overdue. With a car doctor. Do you 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: like the system where they clutched the transmission, done that, 9 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: loosen all the dirt in it, and they put the 10 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: new back in and it just recirculates back into the transmission. Yeah, 11 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: trans transmission flush to me signifies or describes we're doing 12 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: something under pressure. Welcome to the radio home of Ron 13 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: and Anian, the car Doctor, since this is where car 14 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: owners the world overturned to for their definitive opinion on 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: automotive repair. If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, 16 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call in. The garage door 17 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: are opening, but I am here to take your calls 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: at eight five five five six and now running. How 19 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: much money is it worth to spend on an old truck? Right? 20 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: You know? How much money should you just spend on 21 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: an old vehicle? Not just the truck. Well, I think 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: the answer can be summing up in two words, judging 23 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: by what you guys are doing a lot, and um, 24 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: we're seeing it each and every day at the shop. 25 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: It's just crazy. I shouldn't say it's crazy. You know what, 26 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: I'm seeing a change in the times. Customer brought us 27 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: a nineties seven f two fifty pick him up truck, 28 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: only got forty nine thousand miles and change on it. 29 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: Nice truck, you know it's it's it's a fifty thousand mile, 30 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: twenty five year old truck that Bills used to plow 31 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: with and he's kept fairly good condition on He stayed 32 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: on top of it. But everything on the truck is 33 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: original and now it's starting to show its age. And 34 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: he brought it to me a couple of weeks ago. 35 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: We've been working on it for about two and a 36 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: half weeks. By the time we found all our parts 37 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: and you know, got it all sorted out. And he said, 38 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: you know, Ron, he said, a new truck is seventy 39 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars if I can find one. Um, and 40 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: he can't find one. And I understand that because he can't. 41 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: So he said, tell me what it needs. We went 42 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: through it, and you know, gave him a laundry list. 43 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: Probably the biggest annoyance of of everything we saw. Well, 44 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: there's a couple of things, right. He wanted spark plugs, 45 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: and I looked at the plugs, and the plugs are 46 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 1: very rusty, they're crunchy, you know, they're they're original. I'm 47 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: not sure they're gonna come out. And I don't want 48 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: to make Swiss cheese out of milk until I knew 49 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 1: a few other things. One of them is that the 50 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: on the driver's side of the engine, one of the 51 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: freeze out plugs freeze out plugs, that little stamp plug 52 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: that sits in the block. If the block freezes, it 53 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: pushes out so there's not block damage. One of the 54 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: freeze out plugs is starting to seep. Now to get 55 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: that plug out, I've got to pull the motor mount. 56 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: If I pull the motor mount, well, then gee, I 57 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: guess I'm gonna take care of the rusty oil pan. 58 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: I guess I'm gonna take care of the rusty transpant. 59 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: And it just becomes one bigger project. So I said, Bill, 60 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: let's do it like this. I said, I'm gonna put 61 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: a bottle of k seal in the cooling system. Uh. 62 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: You know, k seal has really been a wonder drug. 63 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: It'll seal that up. And it did. We ended up 64 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: seeing it at the end. It did. Put a bottle 65 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: of k seal in it. It's sealed up. Solve the 66 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: the the freeze out plug problem. And the other thing 67 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: I like about it is on our older vehicle, it's 68 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: sort of it's sort of like having you know, the 69 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: mechanic in the cooling system right it's it's it's sitting 70 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: there in suspension and it's gonna go to the next 71 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: leak that develops on the older vehicle, the twenty five 72 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: year old older vehicle, and maybe keep it from getting 73 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: stuck on the side of the road. So I like that. 74 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: We did some k seal, all right, And you guys 75 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: have heard me talk about it. You know k seal 76 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: dot com. Uh, you know, it worked, wonders, It worked 77 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: its magic like it usually does. Got out of the 78 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: freeze out plug situation. And I told Bill, and I said, 79 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: if for some reason the freeze out plug fails, or 80 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, another plug leaks, or we develop a cooling 81 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: leak that can't be fixed and the engine has to 82 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: be pulled. But then we'll do the rust the oil pan. 83 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: Then we'll get the plugs out of the heads because 84 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: it's not misfiring right now, all right. So the next 85 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: big focus became the exhaust leak. And at first, you know, 86 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: you think to yourself, years old, fifty thousand miles, getting 87 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: a little crunchy. It's a plow vehicle, you know, as 88 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: an exhaust manifolds as an exhaust pipe. Oh, I forgot, 89 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: this is a five point eight. What always broke on 90 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: five point Eight's the E g R tube on the 91 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: right front corner of the engine. Oh my god, was 92 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: this thing rusted? And you know you're right next to 93 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: all the fuel lines and plastic lines and everything else. 94 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: You can't really put flame in there. Well you could. 95 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 1: You only get to do it once, and you have 96 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: to be real quick. Um, you know, and duck uh 97 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: you know, probably not something that would be the day. 98 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: Invite Tom down to the shop. Here, Tom, hold this 99 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I ended up chopping off the 100 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: tube the rest of the way because it was broken. 101 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: And I ended up chopping off the tube. And then 102 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: I have one of those inductive electric heaters where shorts 103 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: really well, put the inductive electric heater around what was 104 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: left attached to the exhaust. Manifold got it, cherry red. 105 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 1: Let it cool down a little bit, hit it with 106 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: some water, got it, cherry red again, Let it cool 107 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: down a little bit. Shot some p B blaster in there. 108 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: All right, let it cool down. You know, you kind 109 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: of got un till it was cherry read. It just 110 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: about smoked when I when I hit it with the 111 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: p B and I let the p B in worked 112 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: it a little bit, got it hot again a third 113 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 1: time after I hit it with the p B blaster 114 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: and it came loose. You know, sometimes it's it's just 115 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: the right amount of heat and touch and and and 116 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: p B blaster. Because it just worked great. Then I 117 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: had to get a n g R tube. This is 118 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: where I made my mistake. You knew there was a 119 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: mistake coming here, right. This is where I made my 120 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 1: mistake because in my zealousness to fix the truck, I 121 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: was so excited I had. I had such a neat 122 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: older vehicle to work on. I forgot to find out 123 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: that the part was still available. Hang my head in shame. 124 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: Oh no, So my guys at Ford told me. They said, well, 125 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: parts opsolete has been off to lead for seven years now. 126 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: We can probably find one. There's one in an Oklahoma somewhere, 127 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: and there's one out in East dash Gosh and Jibib, 128 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: which I know where that is. That's like, you know, 129 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: ten miles from nowhere. So I went to my go to. 130 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: I went to Dorman Dorman Products dot Com. You know, 131 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you Dorman just they're kind of like 132 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: the remind me of General Motors. They've got everything, they're 133 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: just not quite sure where it all is sometimes right um, 134 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: but their website just lays it out for you. I 135 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: went to the website, plugged in two fifty five point 136 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: eight e g R. Bang. There it was ordered up. 137 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: Dorman e g R T solve my problem fixed. You know, 138 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: my rule still applies. You can fix anything you want 139 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: on a customers vehicle. You gotta fix the things they 140 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: came in complaining about, and that's what makes them happy. 141 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: Bill was so thrilled, he said, Ron, I gave him 142 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: the truck back. Truck was done. We was all paid up. 143 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: He took it for a ride, I said, Bill, go 144 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: for a right come back. He took it for a ride, 145 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: he said, Ron. He said I can't believe how much 146 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: nicer that truck rods with the E g R tube quiet. 147 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: I said, yeah, it's funny what exhaust leaks do it? Right? 148 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: Lest leaks just make the vehicle sound cheap. There's something 149 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: about them. Unless it's unless it's open headers in a 150 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: hot rod, just loud exhaust doesn't work. Uh. You know. 151 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: The last step that I did to help build with 152 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: his with his rust issue, was I coded the undercarriage. Uh. 153 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: You know, we hit the we hit the oil pan 154 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: with some paint, so we'll lock that up, and the 155 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: transpant so we locked that up, so we get the 156 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: rust to stop, give it some protection. And Bill is 157 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: gonna order a kid from New Hampshire Royal Undercoating and 158 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna New Hampshire Oil undercoat the vehicle to ensure 159 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: that it goes on for a good long time. So, 160 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: you know, just good proper maintenance, good proper repair. Spent 161 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: seven grand on this truck. And you know what, I 162 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: gotta tell you, he's going to get probably at least 163 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: another five years out of this vehicle at the current rate. 164 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: And the fact that he's staying on top of it, 165 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: and you've got to stop and look at that and 166 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: you say seven grand. You know, I've got to tell 167 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: you the back breaks on this we did from breaks, 168 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: did a bunch of things. We looked at the rear brakes, 169 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: the rear brakes shoes still look great. You know, twenty 170 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: five years old. The Tennerman nuts, you know, the little 171 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: nuts they put on the brake jump at the factory, 172 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: That little spiral nut that locks the drum on during 173 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: assembly so it doesn't fall over when they flip the 174 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: chastis around to put the body on. The Tenderman nuts 175 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: were still on the brake drumps twenty five years. So 176 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: in twenty five years, nobody ever checked the rear brakes 177 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: on this truck, which kind of blows my mind. This 178 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: is our first time seeing it. Um So it's just, 179 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta change your thinking, is what I'm 180 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: getting to. Right. We've got to start to think that 181 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: maybe the vehicle we have in the driveway, in the 182 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: right hands, with the right care will go the distance 183 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: if we just put some money into it. But it's 184 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: got to be the right money. We've got to know 185 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: that what we're doing is proper. We've got to know 186 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: that we've done some sort of maintenance to it. You know, 187 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: prior to getting it to me build you know, told 188 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: me sait Ron, I've done all my oil changes, I've 189 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: done a bunch of services to it. I've never had 190 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: anybody really go through it. And that's why I'm bringing 191 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: it to you. You know, it's we're in a different 192 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: time now, right, We're in a different time in a 193 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: different place. Vehicles are tough to get, parts are tough 194 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: to get, and we've got to make things last longer. 195 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: And I think we've got to start to think like Bill, 196 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: where seven thousand dollars into a twenty five year old 197 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: vehicle not a lot of money. Seven thousand dollars into 198 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: a vehicle that will go another five years. That's that's 199 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: an investment that's very much worth it, because you know, 200 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: to replace that vehicle is grand. So what are your thoughts? 201 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: You got any opinions, You've got any comments? Call me 202 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: this hour at eight five zero zero again eight five 203 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: five five zero zero. Let's talk about it. Or shoot 204 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: me an email Ron at card Doctor show dot com. 205 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: Get out to our Facebook page, drop me a note there. 206 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: You know, I want to hear from you guys. What 207 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: are you guys thinking? Are you hanging onto those older cars? Uh? 208 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: You know, I looked it up. I went out to Hemmings. 209 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: I went into Hemming's Motor News. You know Hemings. I 210 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: think it's Hemmings dot com or Hemming's motor news dot com. 211 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: I forget where I found it. And Hemming's talks about this. 212 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: You know, a n F to fifty is a very 213 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: much in demand, desirable truck and it's still worth a 214 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: few bucks. You know, and we all know what he 215 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: means is Hemmans is the Bible as far as what 216 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: old vehicle standards are. So it's definitely worth looking into. So, uh, 217 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: you know, maybe that old car in the driveway is 218 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: more gold than you realize. And if you don't believe me, 219 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: get out to Hemmings and look it up. You'll see 220 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: how much it's really worth. Eight five five five zero 221 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: nine zero zero running any of the car doctor coming 222 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: back right after this. Don't go away. I've got I've 223 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: got time. Right it on the wall, so you don't 224 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: forget to call for car advice. Done right? Eight five 225 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: five five six zero nine zero zero. Now back to row. 226 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: Hey Tom, what's this note you're giving me here? Michael 227 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: Coltback says, there are a bunch of used cars, uh 228 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: in Michigan. Yeah, he says, he knows a whole bunch 229 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: of people in Michigan that they have a whole bunch 230 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: of used cars. They love to sell them for parts 231 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: because when they take them to the dealership, the dealership says, hey, 232 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: we'll give you two hundred bucks for that car and 233 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: not work. And they know what they can get for 234 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: on the open market. Seeing now, if I'm elected, cars 235 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: are on Tuesday, I'm gonna solve all these car problems. 236 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: Trust me so well. But that's why you have my vote. 237 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: By the way that cars are, that car is our 238 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: spot has to stop. You're killing me, that's uh, it 239 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: will because election day is don't forget to go out 240 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: and vote. Yeah. I don't want to see any right 241 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: ins for Ron and Ninian. Could you imagine if you 242 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: can imagine that in the news, if somebody actually got 243 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: enough votes, somebody actually voted in Ron and and is 244 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 1: the right in for any one of the positions. I 245 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: think I'd have to um leave the country. Why, Tom, 246 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: I can't make it any worse. So with me, it 247 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: would be simple, we'd we'd go back to in twelve. Listen, 248 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: let's not make this political, so it just it would 249 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: be a whole lot easier. Let's go over to Alan 250 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: quick and get out of that moment. Alan and Georgia, 251 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: how are you today? Sir a Hi run yea, sir um. 252 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: It was funny you were talking about putting h money 253 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: into a truck, because I think I've got a great approach. 254 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: I I was looking for a truck, and I started looking. 255 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: They were expensive, and I started seeing these things called 256 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: work trucks. There were great trucks, but they just weren't fancy. 257 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: And I bought her twenty seventeen GMCC Era fifteen hundred 258 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: with the five point three leader engine, hundred twenty thousand miles, 259 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: perfect maintenance history for fourteen thousand dollars. I mean, can 260 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: you for that? I can afford to do a nice 261 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: radio and some wheels and whatever else, right, And you know, 262 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: compare that to how much how much was that truck? 263 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: New Holy count? That truck's easily fifty grand. You know, 264 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: it's crazy, It's it's just nuts. Uh. You know, we're 265 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: gonna talk and and I kind of have an idea 266 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: what your problem might be. But even even if I 267 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: said to you, hey, Alan, stick an engine in it. 268 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 1: And you put an engine in that truck and you 269 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 1: spend sixth grand. Right now you're at what you pay 270 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: for it fifteen fourteen, fourteen, and now you're at twenty 271 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: here like this, twenty thousand, thousand, fifty thousand. What makes 272 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: more sense? Held, Oh, so tell us the problem here. 273 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: What do we got going on? Okay, so the truck 274 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: runs great, but you're getting I'm getting a lot of 275 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: lifter noise for the first ten seconds after startup. Now 276 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: it seems like that was common with these engines. And 277 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: everybody complained about the O ring on the oil pickup too, 278 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: But it looks like in seventeen they redesigned all that 279 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: and it's got a nice looking seal on it. So 280 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if the seals still go bad. If 281 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: I got a bad oil pump or whatever, and I 282 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: hate to just take it apart and replace that because 283 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: if it doesn't fix it, then I gotta put it 284 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: all apart again. So so here's here are my questions. 285 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: This lift or tick or tap that it has. Is 286 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: it is it after every start or is it an 287 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: eight hour period that it's sat overnight? You started it 288 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: you came home at five o'clock, you got up the 289 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: next morning at eight and went out to go with 290 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: wherever you're going. And it takes it. It takes a 291 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: drain down overnight for the tap to occur. It was overnight, 292 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: and then I put in the correct oil when I 293 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: changed it, which is I don't remember what it is, 294 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: but it's a really light oil, like zero W twenty whatever. 295 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: They drained down, right, So so now now it's half 296 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: a day and it's already ticking. Right, Okay, do this. 297 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: We can do this a couple of different ways. You 298 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: know the question we've got because we don't want to 299 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: trust the gage on the desk, because I'm sure you'll 300 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: tell me it's got an oil pressure gage. It's got 301 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: plenty of oil pressure. Right. Well, it's kind of interesting. 302 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: It's it's it's at forty but won't go higher than that. 303 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: When it's cold one warmed up, it shows about twenty eight, 304 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: but still won't go over forty twenty eight. I don't 305 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: so maybe we want to look at mechanical oil pressure. 306 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: But the sending unit's not in a great spot. It's 307 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: not in a terrible spot, but it's not in a 308 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: great spot. Yeah, you know it's it's sort of like 309 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: you know, tomato, tomato, which is it? Um, let's do 310 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: this all right for diagnostic purposes. Let's overfill the crank case. 311 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: Let's put an extra court and a half two courts 312 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: in the crank case, okay, and then start the engine. 313 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: But and then lift the rear of the vehicle, check 314 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: it up from the back, tilt the motor form, right, 315 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: let's cover up. If that old ring is leaking, all right, 316 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: If that old ring is leaking, the tap is gonna 317 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: go away because we're gonna submerge. We're gonna submerge that 318 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: leaky old ring in oil. So now we're gonna pull 319 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: from there. We're gonna seal it up, right, you know, 320 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: let's sometimes I get it right. Um, let's let's try that. Now. 321 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: Keep in mind the dangers here. Obviously. You gotta be 322 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: careful how you lifted from the back, all right, and 323 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: you've got to give the engine enough time to bleed 324 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: down so that you know, oh yeah, it's the diagnosis 325 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: is accurate. So it's it's got to be. You know, 326 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: if you know every morning it's gonna lift or tap, 327 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: all right, then let's then then let's you know, let's 328 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: do that morning court and a half two quarts will 329 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: overfill it and you know, jack it up and put 330 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: more over the oil towards the front of the engine, 331 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: and then we'll try and see if we're covering up 332 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: that over ring. Now, the other thing you could try, 333 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: all right is and it's a it's a little messy, 334 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: but if you want to go one step further you could, 335 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: because let's say you're getting no results with that, is 336 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: pull of valve cover, pull of valve cover. Put it 337 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: back together so you can run it and look at 338 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: the rockers, all right, did the rockers show puddling? Do 339 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: you see oil at the lifter right? You know, at 340 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: the lifter squirt right away? You should see it instantaneously. 341 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: That thing starts within three seconds. It better have oil 342 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: to the top end of the motor or we're doing damage, 343 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: all right. You know, it's not uncommon for these is 344 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: this is this an MDS motor? Is this a multiple 345 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: displacement system? You know, drop cylinder cylinder? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 346 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: So you know it's not unusual for these lifters. They 347 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: get debris in there and then they start to clog 348 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: the ports, particularly the cylinder number eight on the on 349 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: the passenger side blocks off and and causes an issue. 350 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: You can if you do end up having to change 351 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: the engine. Jasper. Jaff Bur Engines and Transmissions, I believe 352 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: out of Indiana, Illinois one of them. Yeah, jaff Bur Engines. 353 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: They make a great product. Uh. They make a they've 354 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: actually make they're making remaining engines now the five three's 355 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: without the cylinder displacement uh option in there. So it's 356 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: just it's a constant VID all the time. I've seen 357 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: someone has out a live delete kit that has uh 358 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: that has the different lifters and all that you need 359 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: to do that if it gets to the point of 360 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: a place in lifters and then of course they could 361 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: have damaged the cam if we get that part well right, 362 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: See in your case, we don't know, you know, we 363 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: don't know which came first, the chicken or the egg. 364 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: Do we have Do we have damaged lifters? Do we 365 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: have an engine that's starving for oil? Do we have 366 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: a bad old ring? I'm saying, if you get to 367 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: the point where you have to replace the engine, think 368 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: about Jazzper. It's a good option for something like that, 369 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: and it solves all the problems. Going forward. So but 370 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 1: lucky Allen. Let me know, hey, make out if you 371 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: need more. I'll be right here, brother.

They've added something called a 381 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: DOS quick Reference to all Data repairing all data collision. 382 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: You know, I gotta tell you when you look at 383 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: the amount of technology and and and how things are growing. ADS, 384 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: the automated driver assist systems reference material and information the need. 385 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: It's it's as great as any repair information need as 386 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: I've seen any time in my career in the industry. Well, 387 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: All Data has added ADS quick Reference to all Data 388 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: repairing all data collision. The award was recently accepted by 389 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: All Data president Manga, who um was obviously in Vegas. 390 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: All datas new ADS quick Reference tool makes it easy 391 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: for auto repair as to access vehicle specific AIDS information 392 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: direct from the O E M S original Quick Manufacturers 393 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: in the industry's leading repair information platform. Yeah, you know, 394 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: we use all Data in the shop as one of 395 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: our information systems and the ADAS informational cross reference. You know, 396 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: you're on a one Cadillact something and you want to 397 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: take the front bumper off, and you look at a 398 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: dolls because you have to write. Because anytime you're dealing 399 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: with bumper work or to take a radiator out of 400 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: a car, sometimes you have to take a bumper off 401 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: and you need the ability to go in reference. Okay, 402 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: I'm taking the radiator out, and tell me I gotta 403 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: take the bumper out. When you take the bumper out, Uh, 404 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: you know, bingo, the light better go off in your 405 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: head because you know you're gonna have to uh dislodge 406 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: the bumper, you know, disconnect the bumper and now it's 407 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: got to go back on and now the system has 408 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: to get calibrated. So nothing is simple. But All Data 409 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: just one for their Quick Reference and I can see 410 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: why because I've used it and it works really well. 411 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 1: So congratulations, guys. I want to talk a little bit 412 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: about my uh my plow truck. I wanta tell my 413 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: plow truck story because Tom wants to hear it. I 414 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: haven't told him yet, And I try not to tell 415 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: Tom these things because it makes him more nuts than 416 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: he already is, which isn't hard to do. So you know, 417 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: my my brand new plow truck, Chevy Silverado. You know 418 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: it's hard for me. It is on a personal basis 419 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: because I mean, my god, I'm gonna let somebody else 420 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: touch my truck. But I'm like, you know, they're the 421 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 1: guys are supposed to be the plow guys. I take 422 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: it over to the local Western deal and they go 423 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: to install a plow kit, you know, the frame and 424 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: the electrical wiring, and you know, put the isolation module 425 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: in so that the headlights will flip on when you 426 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: hook the plow up. And and there's one red wire 427 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: that comes off of the isolation module and that goes 428 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: to switch accessory, meaning when you turn the key on, 429 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: that will be you're hot, that will be battery or 430 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: charging system voltage and power them on. Cut the red wire. 431 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: Never cut the red wire. We'll watch where you put 432 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: the red wire, so you know they put it together 433 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: and they did a nice job. The install is nice 434 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: and neat and clean, and I was happy with it. 435 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: And I haven't gotten around the checking, you know, see 436 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: if it actually works, because I've been so busy at 437 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: the shop. I literally don't have the five minutes to 438 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: put the plow in the front of the truck. I'm 439 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: assuming it's gonna work, and we just go about our day. Well, 440 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: I don't drive the plow truck a lot. I'm still 441 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: I've had it since Memorial Day, where already November, and 442 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: I think it's got nine miles on it, you know, 443 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: it's I think about that a minute. I just I'm 444 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: always driving somebody else's broken. Are diagnosing that, you know, 445 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: somewhere in the annals of Bergen County, they've got a 446 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: They've got they've they've got to have it listed. Who's 447 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: the weirdo driving her car around with all the gauges 448 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: hanging off in the meters and the fuel pressure gage. Yeah, yeah, 449 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,479 Speaker 1: Thoma's pointing his finger at me. So I'm sure I've 450 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: made a few police reports. Hey, we saw this nut 451 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: with them all these electrical things hanging off the car, 452 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: thank you. So, you know, the other night, I'm driving 453 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: home and research. Kathy had left the shop and she 454 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: was behind me. She goes left, I go right. And 455 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: she texted me and she said, hey, your break lights 456 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: are on. Are you okay? You're And I said, you know, 457 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: And I noticed it was dark because obviously it's getting 458 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: longer days. And I looked in the back and I said, yeah, 459 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: you know, she's right that I'm seeing red lights at 460 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: the rear of the truck. I'm like, why, well, the 461 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: break lights are on. And now I'm wondering because it's 462 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: been three weeks since the plow was installed, although I 463 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: haven't driven a whole heck of a lot. And I'm 464 00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: saying to myself, you know, is it the truck? Is it? 465 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: Is it the plowing stall? Is it? We had to 466 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: let it sit outside for four days while we were 467 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: working on the fifty putting the seven thousand dollars in 468 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: it that I was talking about before. Because it didn't 469 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: come off the lift for almost a week. Uh, you know, 470 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: what was it? So I got back to the shop 471 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: the next day and I said, you know, let me 472 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: go through. Tell me what's good. I'll tell you what's bad. Right, 473 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: scan codes? There were no codes in it. I was 474 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,239 Speaker 1: able to cycle the break lights. I don't know if 475 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: using a scan tool worked fine. You know, UM tested 476 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: the brake sensor because it's a sensor, it's a potentiometer. 477 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,239 Speaker 1: It's not an on off switch. It's it's looking at 478 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: reaction time as far as you know, for rate of 479 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: acceleration and the acceleration on how how hard or soft 480 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,679 Speaker 1: you're hitting the pedals, so it knows how to do 481 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: some other things. That's looking at voltage inputs there and 482 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: everything passed. I said, it's got to be the plow 483 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: install I kept coming back to that. So I crawled 484 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: under the dash, which is no easy task for a 485 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: guy my age and size, and found that magic red 486 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: wire and there or cut the red wire. The red 487 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: wire goes to an eight pin nail connector that's just 488 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: hanging open. Was there as part of the assembly. I 489 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: guess that it's a connector that doesn't go to anything, 490 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: and the red wire goes into that. So I took 491 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: note of which pin it was on. This connected it 492 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: solve my problem. I break collects or not on now 493 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,479 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking to myself, how could it? Because all 494 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: along I kept saying to myself, this is a back feed. 495 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: This just strikes me like something's being backfed, you know, 496 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: because when I stepped on the brake when the system 497 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: was broken as it was, you know, the light would 498 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: blink and flash as the pedal was depressed and released, 499 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: like it was a change of state. And all of 500 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: the side said, this is a back feed. When I 501 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: looked real close at the connector, what's the size of 502 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: an average male female spade terminal? Quarter inch right, three 503 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: eights of an inch, probably not that big, three eights 504 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 1: of an inch. Well, inside the connector that they were 505 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: using for switched accessory was an eighth inch pin, but 506 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: they were using a quarter or three eights female terminal, 507 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: so the female terminal went around both pins. They just 508 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: happened to pick two pins in the connector. One was 509 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: hot and the other one was the feed going into 510 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: the brake lights circuit that activated the brake lights all 511 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: the time. So once again I learned, I keep I 512 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,959 Speaker 1: keep coming back to this, you know what, I just 513 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: have to do everything because just nobody does their job, 514 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: nobody's and it's partly my fault. I didn't think to 515 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: look at the back of the truck. You know, the 516 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,239 Speaker 1: brake lights on, but you know what, tell me what's good. 517 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what's bad. I keep coming back to that. 518 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 1: And if you just take a look at things, I 519 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: just you know, it's it's my broken plot truck. So 520 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: maybe I should have installed the plot myself. But I 521 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: didn't have the time to do that either. I'm too 522 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: busy fixing cars. Let's pull over, take a pause. When 523 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: we come back, we'll go up to Maine and talk 524 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: to Kent about the no heat problem. Why would you 525 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: need heat and Maine this time of year. I can't 526 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: understand that. Tom will explain it to me. Zero the 527 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: car doctors coming back right after this. Welcome back, ran 528 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: in the car doctor at your service. Let's go up 529 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: to Maine and talk to Kent. Kent, Welcome to the 530 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: car doctor, sir. How can I help? Good afternoon, sir, 531 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: Thank you for taking my call. Welcome. I bought a 532 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: twelve jeep Wrangler j K you about three months ago, 533 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: and I didn't check how well the heater was working. 534 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: At that time. It was kind of warm. But we've 535 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: had a few cold mornings and I've turned it on 536 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: and I'm having an issue where I'm getting cool air 537 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: out the left side. Uh, I spoke with a dealership 538 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: and they had me bring it in for a diagnosis. 539 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: I got it diagnosed for a hundred and thirty five 540 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: dollars UH that he says the chamber of the heat 541 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: or core that controls the hand side UH is clogged 542 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: and needs to be changed. And they gave me an 543 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: estimate for fourteen one dollars and UH, I made an appointment, 544 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: and I just wanted to know if I could get 545 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: some confidence that I'm doing the right thing. They did 546 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: mention a flush, but that that may not work, and 547 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: if you're gonna put a few hundred dollars into the 548 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: flush and then you're still gonna pay the fourteen eighty one. 549 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 1: And I wanted to know if there were some important 550 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: questions I should ask him when I show up, like, UH, 551 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: is this estimate um, you know, expected to be what 552 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: the prices? And I actually also expecting that I am 553 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: gonna have heat out that left side after you do 554 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: this procedure. And so I didn't know if you had 555 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: any advice for me. Hang so, let let me back up. 556 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: So when the vehicle's warmed up and you know, how 557 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: far do you drive when you get it in the morning, can't. 558 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: Is it a fifteen minute rider longer? Not really, it's 559 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: a bit of a shorter ride. But since I first 560 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 1: discovered this problem, I've been turning the heat on regularly 561 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: to feel examine what it's doing. I do get heat, 562 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: I do get some heat outside out of the left 563 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: hand side. But when I compare it to what's going 564 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: on the right, if I'm getting a little bit of 565 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: barely warm heat on the left, it's considerably harder on 566 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: the right. And I did that today, and it's a 567 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: bit warm close to seventy degrees up here tonight. We're 568 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: actually getting Yeah, so I was getting some pretty good 569 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: heat coming out the left hand side. So let's do this, can't. 570 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: Let's let's let's do this, baby, Let me let me. 571 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,959 Speaker 1: Let me get to this because we're gonna run out 572 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: of time. Get out to an autoparts store this afternoon. 573 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: Spend ten bucks, go by, go by a thermometer for 574 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: the duct all right, for the heat or duct? All right? 575 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: You can actually put it in the A C duct. 576 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:05,719 Speaker 1: You know, you can make hot air come out at 577 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,719 Speaker 1: the mid level or the mid position of the dish, right, 578 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: You can bring the heat out there instead of down 579 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: on the floor. It's a little easier to test. But 580 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: let's let's let's be scientific. Does your heating system give 581 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: you the option to controlling the heat independently left and right, 582 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: So in theory you can make the right hot in 583 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: the left cold if you wanted to, if it was 584 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: working properly, Yes, it does for that. And I did 585 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: turn a couple of times. But since uh, I put 586 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: it back in the middle, and I have no no, no, yeah, 587 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: that's not that's not what I'm chasing. Brother. I want 588 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: you to turn the heat up for both sides all 589 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: the way to max. All right. I want you to 590 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: put that thermometer in the right duct. I want to 591 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: do this test where the heat's coming out in the 592 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: middle of the dish. I want to see what the 593 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: heat is at the right side. Okay, if the engine 594 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: is up at proper temperature, if the engine was running 595 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: at a minimum of a hundred and eighty degrees, you 596 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: should see you should see a hundred and twenty to 597 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: a hundred and forty degrees out that right side duct 598 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: under full load of heat. Low speed doesn't have to 599 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: be high speed. First one or two steps on the 600 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: blower motor. All right, Your hands should be on. Your 601 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: hands should be uncomfortable to hold in front of that duct. Okay. 602 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: The reason I want you to have the thermometer is 603 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: just it's a good barometer. They're cheap enough, and they're 604 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: kind of a good thing to have in the vehicle. 605 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: All right. Then I want you to do the same 606 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: test to the left side, right, the two numbers down. Uh, 607 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: you know one side is gonna be one forty, the 608 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: other side is gonna be a hundred. A hundred doesn't 609 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: sound hot, or it sounds hot, but it's not because 610 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: what you have to realize is the average heating system 611 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: the time it takes for the heat to come out 612 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: of the duct and reach your skin, which is that 613 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: your perceptory oregon. Right, that's how you know what's hot 614 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: or cold. It touches your skin, all right, you will 615 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: lose anywhere from thirty to fifty degrees forty on average. Okay, 616 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,719 Speaker 1: so you know that's the first step. The second is 617 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: go under the hood. Find the heater hoses. When the 618 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: vehicles completely warmed up. Are both hoses hot? One hose 619 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: is gonna be a little hotter than the other. Be careful. 620 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: You could get burned. You may want to wear some 621 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: gloves to insulate, or you may want to get an 622 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: infrared thermometer if you're into binding tools, and measure the 623 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,959 Speaker 1: heat of the heater hoses. The inlet hose will be 624 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,719 Speaker 1: hotter than the outlet, but not by much. If if, 625 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: if they're telling you the core is clogged, then the 626 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: inlet hose is gonna be hot and the outlet hose 627 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: is gonna be what cooler? Right cold? Because nothing's flowing, 628 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: all right? Number one, number two, number three, what I 629 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: normally do, because it sounds like you're telling me, they're 630 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 1: saying for the heat or issue, they're putting a heater 631 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: core in it, all right, right, and I'm not all 632 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: that convinced that it's a heater or core as much 633 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: as a bed blend or actuator. All right, there are 634 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: little actuators. If it's if this is a left right, 635 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: I can make this hot, this cold, this side hot, 636 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: this side cold system, which it probably doably is I 637 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: believe it is, all right, there's a piece called a 638 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: blend door actuator. Think of the front door in the 639 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: back door to your house. If you could, if if 640 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: you could sit on your couch and say, hey, I 641 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: want to open the front door, you hit a button electronically, 642 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: A little motor on top of the front door would open. Hey, 643 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: I want to I want to close the back door. 644 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: You hit a button electronically. The motor on top of 645 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: the back door would close. All right, left and right, 646 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: front to back, all right, electronic motors. If that left 647 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: door actuator failed that, then you're gonna have cold air 648 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: or cooler air out the one side than the other. Okay, 649 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that this isn't a bad temp door 650 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: actuator as much as a bad heater core. All right, 651 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: And again, the tests I'm giving you will tell me 652 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: what's good. Tell me what's good, I'll tell you what's bad, right, 653 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: and and it will answer all your other questions. Because 654 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: let's say we go in and do a heater core. 655 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: Let's say we're going into a blend door actuator.
