61
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: the two thousand eight expedition, and I think I've mentioned

62
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: this the last two weeks. I've been working on this

63
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: car for two weeks now, and everybody's gonna you know,

64
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: for those that say, hey, what's the matter. You couldn't

65
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: fix it that fast? No, I didn't want to spend

66
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: the money that fast. I had a two thousand and

67
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: eight Ford Expedition stagger in the door two weeks ago

68
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: with the customer complaint about a low brake pedal. It

69
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: was mush. You'd step on the pedal and it would

70
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: go down about three quarters of the way and then

71
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: finally catch and it wouldn't pump up. It was just

72
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible break pedal forty six thousand mile, ten

73
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: year old vehicle, two thousand eight right. So I went

74
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: through the basics, verified the condition yep, low low low

75
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: crumby break pedal, low crumby brake pedal okay, and did

76
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: a visual, pulled all the wheels down. God, I took

77
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: those eighteen inch rims down so many times I can

78
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: It was like doing cross fit on at the shop,

79
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: which is why I started cross fit in the first place.

80
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: I think um and it needed breaks. The rear brakes

81
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: were list than two millimeters the right front break, the

82
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: wheel wouldn't engage it. The right front break. The break

83
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: pad looked fairly new. The left front break was down

84
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: to about three or four millimeters. It was time. There

85
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: was clearly something going on with the right front, and

86
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: I said, gee, could that be contributing to the low

87
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: brake pedal. The weird thing is the card didn't pull,

88
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: and I would have expected that. I would have expected

89
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: it would have gone to the left the way the

90
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: brake was working on the left side, but it did not.

91
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: So spoke to the customer, told him, here's what we've

92
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: got to do. Here's here's the starting point. There's no

93
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: sense in having a conversation any further until we've get

94
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: you know, good working calipers, correct brake pads. Are good

95
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: brake pads in there, and let's go through and do

96
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: the basics. Ended up doing, you know, we looked at

97
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: why wasn't the right front working? The the issue with

98
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: the right front break and it turned out that there

99
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: is you know, it's a rubber breake hose. It comes

100
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: down from the frame, it connects to the steel line

101
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: where it comes off the rest of the system, and

102
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: the metal bracket that goes around the rubber brake line

103
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: had rusted and as it rusted, it slowly squeezed the

104
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: brake host to the point that it shut off the

105
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: fluid that's how much this car sets. And I you know,

106
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: I've got to say, in forty three years of repairing cars,

107
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't think i've seen that one, all right. It

108
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: actually shut the line off that I pulled the line

109
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: off the car. I couldn't blow through it to a blowgun.

110
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: I couldn't push air through it with a blowgun. That

111
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: right front hose was crimped solid. Closed, did two hoses.

112
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: You know it's ten years old, all right. And I

113
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: didn't care what the left side looked like if it's

114
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: if it's more than three years old, I'm looking for

115
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: system of quality and balance. And what I do to

116
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: the left, I do to the right when it comes

117
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: to brakes. And I did two hoses. I did two

118
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: calipers because the right front caliper was stuck. I could

119
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: compress the left front like ice cream the right front.

120
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: Put everything in there, every brake pads better we had

121
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: in the shop to see clamp everything. Just couldn't get

122
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 1: that right front caliper to move to save its life.

123
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: So here we go, right pad's rotors all the way around.

124
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: Two hoses, two calipers bled The system got this really

125
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: crummy green looking It looked like slime from those those

126
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: kids TV shows. It was just really ugly, uh in

127
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: terms of color. This break fluid got in the truck,

128
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: and boy, I had to I had a lousy break pedal.

129
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: It just didn't you know. I got a little better,

130
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: but nothing I would want to stand in front of

131
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: and hope the car would stop. So I had to

132
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: stop and think for a minute, and I turned into

133
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: you know, there's other things going on in the shop.

134
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: We're we're generally a busy house, and you know, a

135
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: couple of days later, I got back to it and

136
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 1: started going through and I started on the next endeavor,

137
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: and that was I wanted to block off the master cylinder.

138
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes you want to isolate things, you want to isolate components.

139
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: And I found out in the time period since I've

140
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: done this last that none of the fittings I had

141
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: in my little Master cylinder block off kit would work

142
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: because none of them were the right size. It was

143
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: attend by one oh and a twelve by one oh

144
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: thread pitch, and I needed to find fittings. Everybody that

145
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: says you can find them at the local hardware store

146
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: or the supply house or online, I don't think. So

147
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: went everywhere, talked to Everyone went to the hydraulic fitting place,

148
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: went to the home hardware. It went to home hardware,

149
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: the store in town, went went everywhere. Nope, nothing of

150
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: that thread pitch, nothing of that size, No way to

151
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 1: get a breasts plug. Nothing, You're done. So I finally

152
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: did find them online, thank God for Amazon. And they're

153
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: basically break fittings that I will have to eventually, and

154
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: I will I'll get a slow day if that ever happens.

155
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: Take a piece of line, I'll make a flare, I'll

156
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: put an end in it, and i'll paint it over

157
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: and i'll solder it shut and that'll be my test fitting.

158
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: I'll just make them. Um. So if you're out there

159
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: in your tool manufacturer making making break components, shut off

160
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: fitting plugs to isolate, boy, that would be a great idea.

161
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: I bet you get see a lot of those, and

162
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: you know it would just be so much easier. So

163
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: I said, you know, let me take look at the

164
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: master cylinder as a you know, maybe it's leaking out

165
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: the back, maybe there's something, maybe there's something else here

166
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: that will give me a reason to condemn the master.

167
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: Pulled the Master out of the booster and looked at

168
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: the back of it. There was a little bit of

169
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: schmutz back there. Technical term schmutz. It's something we described

170
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: here in New Jersey, and you know when we're talking

171
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: about kaka and uh it. I looked at the Master

172
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: and I said, gee, can I replace this? And I

173
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: took the Master, turned it upside down, and I poured

174
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: all the brake fluid out of it, and it kind

175
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: of came out really still ugly green schmutze sludge schmegma,

176
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: which is another industry term. So I said, you know,

177
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: here's this ten year old vehicle. It's never had a

178
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: break fluid flush, which you know, if you're not flushing

179
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: your break fluid, you better really pay attention to the story.

180
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: And I said, let's look at this. I'm down to

181
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm either an A B S control unit or a

182
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Master cylinder. There's nothing else left, all right. I looked

183
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: the vehicle over, left, right, and sideways, looking for the

184
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: weird thing, looking for the brake line that's that's obliterated.

185
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: That I can't see that. I can't believe that somehow,

186
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 1: as a result of an accident, maybe it's twisted in

187
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: the wrong direction, or just anything. You're looking for the

188
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: odd bowl thing. We pulled the wheels back off again

189
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: with the eighteen and stires back off the car and

190
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: slowly applied the brake while one guy watched and you know,

191
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: look to see did the pistons come out? Did the

192
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: caliper looked like it was squeezing the rotor in in

193
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: correct proportion and everything they're checked out. Well, it's either

194
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: a Master or an A B S control unit. Hydrawl

195
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: a control unit they call it. Let's look at this,

196
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: and a B S I draw a control unit. Anybody

197
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: want to guess how much one of those are? Well,

198
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: if you look online, they'll tell you five six. Of

199
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: course they're not telling you the right price because they

200
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: have no clue what it's cost. And a B S

201
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: I draw the control unit for a two thousand and

202
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: eight Ford expedition with uh R sc restraints stability control.

203
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: I believe is the is the moniker for that is

204
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: just a little over fifteen hundred bucks. So now you're

205
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: playing with is a BIS control older or the Master?

206
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: And then you realize the green schmeigma that you took

207
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: out of the Master cylinder is gonna make you you're

208
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: really gonna put a B S controller in with a

209
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: master cylinder that's got Schmeigma in it, and the master

210
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: cylinders only a hundred and fifty bucks. Aren't you gonna

211
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: change them both? Anyway? Let's put a Master in it.

212
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: Put a Master in it. Now, I had nice clean

213
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: fluid everywhere and bled everything out, went through the anti

214
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: lock break automatic bleed, which you have to use a

215
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: scan tool for, and sure enough I still had a

216
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: lousy break pedal. I gotta put an A B S

217
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: hydraw a control unit it. That's the only thing left.

218
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'm gonna pull over and take

219
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: a pause and keep you in suspense because installing the

220
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: A B S Control unit is not a simple tunate

221
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: it into this story, So stick around. Then we'll finish

222
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: it up when I get back. I'm running anady in

223
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: the car. Doctor turn right after this, Hey, welcome back.

224
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: Aren't any of the car doctor phone number six zero

225
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: on nine nine zero zero. We were talking about the

226
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: edition real quick, and then I'll finish it up. We'll

227
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: get over to Jason in Pennsylvania right away after that.

228
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: Uh So we're down to the point where I needed

229
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: an A B S. I draw a controlling at all

230
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: fIF Allsworth ordered it up, took the left front fender

231
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 1: well out, took the A B S. I draw the

232
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: control unit out, swapped it over. Now came the hard part.

233
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: As if this wasn't hard enough, Now I had to

234
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: program or tell the rest of the vehicle. Hey, I

235
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: just took this computer out and I put this new

236
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: computer in. You ever worked with hexadecimal code? You ever

237
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: see the movie The Martian all right where he talks

238
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: about hexadecimals, and you know the two digits represent a

239
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: letter in the alphabet, and so on and so forth.

240
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: In two thousand and eight, you have to use hexadecimal

241
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: code to code the A B S controller. And you're

242
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: standing there. I've got seven lines of code that I

243
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: have to manually enter visa viva scantal. I'm using a

244
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: Ford ideas, the Ford Factory level tool. You know, if

245
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: you screw up one digit, you've got to go back

246
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: and look it. I'll tell you, hey, you made a mistake.

247
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: Now you gotta go back look through seven lines of code.

248
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: You know, forty some odd entries per line to go

249
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: and find where. This is very tedious. Fortunately I got

250
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: through it. I I turned off the radio, I stopped

251
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: taking phone calls. We just sat there and no distractions,

252
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: and fifteen minutes later it was coded in the truck,

253
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: bled it out, bled it, bled it three times, a

254
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: manual bleed using the scan tool because you have to

255
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: purge the year out of the A B S controller,

256
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: and then did another manual bleed. And I'm happy to

257
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: tell you that that thing's got the best brake pedal

258
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: you ever saw in its life. That thing will stop

259
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: on a dime, give you a nine and a half

260
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: cents change. And the moral and the point to this

261
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: is not that, hey, I fixed another car. I mean, jeez,

262
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,239
Speaker 1: I hope that happens every week. But the point becomes,

263
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: how could it have been prevented a normal break fluid flush.

264
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: Is car never had a break fluid flush in ten years.

265
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: So you know, you can think you're getting away with it,

266
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: but the cars are getting more susceptible to problems like this,

267
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: and dirty break fluid really does create issues, especially on

268
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: vehicles with A B S and some of the traction

269
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: control and stability control systems. Number two, you know, it's

270
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: it's about the relationship. Now, the customer has been coming

271
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: in for about a year. They know what we do.

272
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: They know who we are. Are they gonna be happy

273
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: with a three thousand or almost repair bill all set

274
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: all in? Probably not, but not a lot of choice

275
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: here in the matter. The A B S controller was

276
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: the big ticket item, and look at the price of

277
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: it bucks in one fell swoop and you can see

278
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: that with the amount of electronics being added to a car,

279
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: it's not getting any easier and it's not getting any cheaper.

280
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: Makes you think maybe that's seventy two Plymouth is the

281
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: way to go. But you know, then again, where you're

282
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna find parts at all, that's a whole another conversation.

283
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: So be aware of your mechanic is be aware of

284
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: your maintenance, be aware of what your vehicle has, and

285
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: think a little outside the box. That's the whole point here.

286
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: You may want to do a little bit more maintenance

287
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: than your norm really thinking, especially if the car sits

288
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: or under such conditions and you know you plan on

289
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: keeping it, if you're leasing that car two and a half,

290
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: three years, six oil changes down the road. But other

291
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: than that, you still got to maintain it or it's

292
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: gonna come back to bite you and the mechanic working

293
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: on it. Hello and welcome, as if you didn't know

294
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: that I'm Ronanadi in the car doctor eight zero nine

295
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: zero zero. That's the open. I just I realized. That's

296
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: the first time I've gone over like that. But today's

297
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: the day at first anyway, Mr Ray, do you know what, um,

298
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: the big moment of today is, by the way, it's

299
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: the day Tony actually dropped the pass here in the studio.

300
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: All that was beside the point. You know, Odell missed

301
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: the water bottle when I gave it to him. Well,

302
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow is our anniversary. Tomorrow is our anniversary. Five years,

303
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: five years self syndication, twenty seven years broadcasting radio. We

304
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: got that on the air, oh boy, you know, and

305
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: it's it's good because I almost gave you I should

306
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: probably do that. I still have the very first clip

307
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: when I first started in Oh please don't. Oh yeah,

308
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: it's it's it's hitting away because after I'm dead for

309
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: two years, it's gonna be like that scene and back

310
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: to the future. This guy is going to appear from

311
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: Western Union and go, here's the file. Now you can

312
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: play it. He's gone. So it's it's pretty bad. But um,

313
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: happy anniversary, boys, good job getting us here. So now

314
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: let's kick the garage doors open, and let's go over

315
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: to Jason and beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Jason, you're out with

00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: can I just ask it? I want to see Tony

319
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: doesn't believe it? I I know. Do you know you

320
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: must you live there? Do you know why beaver Falls,

321
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is so famous? Um one, Joe Namath is one,

322
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: um Steel was a one time and also there's a

323
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: there's a show he used to be called Believe is

324
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: Mr Belvedere is based in beaver Falls. Wasn't really that.

325
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: I didn't that I didn't know, but I knew the

326
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: part about Joe Willie. So yeah, that's all I got.

327
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: That's all I know. Well, it's a listen you know

328
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: more than me does. Does Joe Namath ever come back

329
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: to town and visit? Um you know what? Now? And

330
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: then uh we there's a field name after him, and

331
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: he might make appearances but just kind of like keep

332
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: it on the downloads and he kind of rushes him.

333
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, it's a it's a small little,

334
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: small little city. Yeah, yeah, so that's cool, all right, sir,

335
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: what can I do for you? Well, I I couldn't

336
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: agree with you more about keeping up with maintenance for

337
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: your vehicles. I think that's essential. No matter what it is,

338
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: you always have to constantly look after him, change the fluids, UH,

339
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: make sure everything's working tiptop shape, because you don't want

340
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: to be going down freeway seventy miles pro and all

341
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden your hood flies off or a wheel

342
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: falls off because you didn't check it, or whatever it

343
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: may be. And UH, but you do all this this

344
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: maintenance on your view gools and the bad thing is

345
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: they rust and corrode and they fall out from underneath you.

346
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: So UM, I've been for years cleaning underneath my vehicles

347
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: twice a week in the wintertime to get rid of

348
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: all the salt because I live in the Sault State.

349
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: I've poured fifteen I've done chassis staver, and it's no

350
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: matter what you use, it just seems like you can't

351
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: get rid of that cancer until the vehicle just all

352
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: apart from underneath you. Um, anything that you suggest that

353
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: could really stave the vehicle other than washing it constantly

354
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: and using UH. And that's the other thing in the summertime,

355
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: as well, uh, grinding and sam blasting and painting the

356
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: frame or whatever product that's happened, the rust and being

357
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: it all ready for winter again. Anything else. Yeah, I've

358
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: got I've actually got two suggestions, Jason, but I'm gonna

359
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 1: unfortunately make you sit through one more break. Is that? Okay?

360
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: Just sit to that? Okay? Cool? When I when I

361
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: sit tight, when I come back, we'll talk about it.

362
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm monderinating the car doc. We'll return right after this.

363
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: You know, when you get keep Ron's number hand eight

364
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: five five five six zero nine zero zero for when

365
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: you really need advice on your car. Here's Robb Jason.

366
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: You're still there, sir, Jason. You go, Jason. Um. So

367
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: when we took the pause, we were talking about corrosion

368
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: in general, on vehicles in general, and to the ideas

369
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: that I always like to go by. Is one. Is

370
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: you ever hear of a product called fluid film? No?

371
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: I have not. Okay, fluid film is something I've been

372
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: using on the plow truck. Well, I don't know ten twelve,

373
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: fifteen years. It's a spray on Just go Google search

374
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: the name. You'll find it on Amazon. It's not cheap,

375
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: but it actually provides. It's a spray on layer of

376
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: protection that you know, obviously you want to get the

377
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: vehicle clean and then spray it on. It will help

378
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: slow down and prevent corrosion. It's got a cling factor

379
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: to it, so it doesn't necessarily just wash off right away. Uh.

380
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: You know, once you go through bed weather, it'll it'll

381
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: stick around a couple of runs and you applay some

382
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: fluid film on on a repeated basis, you should see

383
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: some pretty good protection out of it. And uh, you know,

384
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: the second is just what you're doing, just washing it off,

385
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 1: but just being sure that if you're going through a

386
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: car wash, as the car wash, how do they reclaim

387
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: their water into what level? And you know, how do

388
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: they filter it? Because I have seen cases where some

389
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: of the local car washes will recycle their water, but

390
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: they won't reclaim it and clean it properly. So you're

391
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: spraying salty chemical filled water back onto the area that

392
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: you're cleaning, and it create it's problems later on down

393
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: the road. You're you know, you're you're using dirty water

394
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: in a sense. But fluid film is an absolute it's

395
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: it's it absolutely works well, very well. Um. Matter of fact,

396
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: the locallest Inanian is out your way out in Pittsburgh

397
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: and her fourteen escape when it comes home for service

398
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: and oil changes. I fluid film that car for the

399
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: past three years, and it has an area drop a

400
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: rust on it, and I imagine Pittsburgh is probably just

401
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: as bad as beaver Falls, p A. In terms of

402
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: chemical what they put on the road. So, um, you know,

403
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: you know, the only caution I've got with fluid film

404
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: is obviously it's got to be clean underneath, so you're

405
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: not ceiling, you know, schmitz against the against the vehicle

406
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: under the film, so it gets a chance to work.

407
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: That's one. Two. It's really best up in the air,

408
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, so you can you know, get some decent Yeah,

409
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: you kind of wanted on the lift, and you may

410
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: want to wear some kind of a mask. There are

411
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: some warnings all over the can. You know, but I

412
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: haven't I haven't grown three heads yet, or you know,

413
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: my arm hasn't fallen off. It's just it's just it's

414
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: just not a great chemical that you want to breathe

415
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: it in. You want to be careful how you handle it. So,

416
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: but fluid film before applying it, UM, go down to

417
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: direct metal kind of get rid of all the paint

418
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: and everything. No, not at all, not at all. Uh yeah,

419
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: not at all. We uh you know. And and you know,

420
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: if you talk to talk to some guys that you

421
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: might see that snow plow, would ask them have they

422
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: heard of it, and you know, get their reaction to it,

423
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: because that's how I learned about it. Um. I learned

424
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: about it from somebody. I was standing in line at

425
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: a part's house a while back, really, probably fifteen years

426
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: or so ago, and I noticed he had a couple

427
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: of cans out. He was buying it off the shelf,

428
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: and I, you know, I hadn't seen it before, and

429
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: I said, gee, what's that? And he started explaining it

430
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: to me and they after researching it. Fluid film is

431
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. It's a it's a spray on substance.

432
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: I can't tell you what it is, but it does

433
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 1: do a pretty good job of protecting and um I

434
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: have seen it. I have purchased it myself on Amazon.

435
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: So if locally nobody has it, you can you can

436
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: do it that way. You might want to check it

437
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: O'Reilly oto parts and see if they have it. Um

438
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: I have seen it also there online if I'm not mistaken,

439
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: you'll see it's in a gray and a red can.

440
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: The can has red prints. It's also available. I've seen

441
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: it in brush on. So if you don't want to

442
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: do the spray, you can, you know, buy it and

443
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: you know do it, do a paint brush and brush

444
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: it on and uh, stuff works, well, it really does awesome.

445
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: The only the only other solution I can think of

446
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: is moved to Arizona. Well, you know, there is there.

447
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: They're probably cheaper there. There is that, and there are

448
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: probably some advantages to Arizona because you won't see snow anymore.

449
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: Of course, you know that we've got to have air

450
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: conditioning conversations because you know, last last year, I know

451
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,239
Speaker 1: someone that moved to Arizona and they called us up

452
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: one day and she was telling us how it was

453
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: a cool day. There was a d seventeen degrees in

454
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: the shade. So you know it's Arizona has its issues too, Uh,

455
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, be grateful for the change in season. After

456
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: a while, I think the heat is too much. You know,

457
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: you just can't, you just can't do with it. So yeah,

458
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the snow, but not so Besides that, if

459
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: you move to Arizona. You wouldn't get to see Joe

460
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: Namith when he comes back. That's true, very very seldom

461
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: do I see him, but every now and then you

462
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: get well. Listen, if you do bump into Joe, you

463
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: tell him the car doctor says along. We'd love to

464
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: talk to him on air one day. How about that tone? Yeah,

465
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: Tony gives me the thumbs up. Even though he's a

466
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: Giants fan. We'd still like to talk to Joe Willie

467
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: Namoth even though this is a car show. This is

468
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: uh how many chances do you get to touch a

469
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: guy like that? So exactly we'll do. We'll do, all right, Jason, listen,

470
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: thank you for your time, sir. You have a good

471
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: rest of the weekend. Hey, thank you very much. I

472
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: appreciate it. You're very welcome. Let's get on over and

473
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: talk to Mick and Oregon. Who's a return call? Ninety eight? Gep, Cherokee, Mick,

474
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: how are we doing with this? Uh? This Cherokee? Everybody?

475
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: Did you gettywhere with any of it? A on? No,

476
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: I haven't, um, but I guess I guess where I'm

477
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: at is. I've tested the on the TCM, the C

478
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: one C two connectors. I'm getting power and I'm getting ground.

479
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: But on on the five uh well power supply, the

480
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: seventeen and thirty one. Um, I'm only getting a vault

481
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: in the half and I've I've gone through and I've

482
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: unplugged each sensor one by one, and I can never

483
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: get any change in in my boat reading over you

484
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: know one one and a half. The wiring harness seems

485
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: to be okay. You hadn't bet a revenue anywhere. I'm

486
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: just kind of a lot. So the five old power supply,

487
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: if I remember, the five old power supply, is the

488
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: feed to those five centers, those four or five centers

489
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: we talked about, that five old power supply comes out

490
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: of the PCM, does it not? Um, well, you you

491
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: have to unplan the connector to test for your five vols.

492
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: Where does the five volts come from? Though? The five

493
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: volts has to come from the PCM, correct, I just

494
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: to make sure you're reading the instructions right or the

495
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: instructions wrong. And I've seen that too, right, Yeah, yeah,

496
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: something wrong? Right, That's what I'm wondering. All right. So

497
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: it's it's because the premise of it, the premise of

498
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: the conversation was that if one of the four or

499
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: five center a crank cam um oh two and it

500
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: was a TPS right frontal position center right, Matt was

501
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: in there, yep, if if if one of those was

502
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 1: short and it would pull the five volt signal down low.

503
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: But you're saying you're not getting a five old signal,

504
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: So I want to know where does that five old

505
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: signal originate from. That five old signal has to come

506
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: from somewhere, So maybe you're getting confused because it's it's

507
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: that five old. The five old supply has to come

508
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: out of the PCM. Okay, So if you're testing it

509
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: with the PCM unplugged, you're not gonna see five vaults.

510
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: That's my point. So either either you misread the instructions

511
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: or I'm okay, yeah, yeah, I'm not because I've unplugged

512
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: because uh yeah, I unplugged the C one connector and

513
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: tested the uh the wiring harness side of it. Let

514
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: me let me tell you how much you have to

515
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: read and then reread and read into the instructions. Um,

516
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm programming in a B S control. I don't know

517
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: if you heard the open I'm programming in a B

518
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: s control yesterday on this two thous expedition part I

519
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: have to plug in hexadecimal code. Remember the movie The

520
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: Martian with Matt Damon and they talked about hexadecimal code.

521
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: I have to program it using hexadecimals. Okay, And as

522
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm programming it, the first step it said was turned

523
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: the key off. I turned the key off. Then we

524
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: go through two more steps, and then we get to

525
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: the hexadecimal um key entry and I program in and

526
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 1: then it says turn key off again, and I went,

527
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: wait a minute. Never told me to turn to keep

528
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: back on. They missed a step in the procedure. I

529
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: had to go back and start all over again because

530
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: it never got entered. And you know, just because it's

531
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: written doesn't mean it's right. I still have to question

532
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: everything I see in front of me, and until I've

533
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: done it at least once, I never I never believe

534
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 1: anything to be correct, you know, So just just just

535
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: be aware of that, all right. So reread those instructions

536
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: and see where they're trying to get you to go.

537
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 1: What what the premise of that paperwork that I emailed

538
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: you along with the wiring diagram was You're looking for.

539
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: You've got three wires at all three of those sensors.

540
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a ground, You're gonna have a signal return.

541
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a five old feed. So so ground

542
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: is ground period. Ground has to always stay ground. Five

543
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: old feet is the five old signal coming in the

544
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: return or the sensor reference or the sensor voltage, however

545
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: they refer to. It is going to be the signal

546
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: back from that sensor or whatever it is, depending upon

547
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: its or in state throttle position. Sensor starts with a

548
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: low voltage and then sweeps or opens up to a

549
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: higher voltage, makes sense, And then they're all going to

550
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: do the same thing. So you're looking to see if

551
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: one of those sensors is short, it will pull down

552
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: that five vault reference or sensor return line signal because

553
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the reference line, because they all share a

554
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: common five vault feed, right, Okay, So that's what the

555
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: premise of what they're trying to do there is, do

556
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: this unplug all four of those sensors, are all five

557
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: of those sensors with the computer plugged in, and start

558
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: just checking those individual wires. Do you have five volts

559
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: to each sensor? Let's start the war there, all right,

560
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: and then then read the instructions again and see if

561
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: you get it. If you don't, I'm here, call me

562
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: next week. Okay, thanks, you're welcome, kid, I'll keep going

563
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: all right, all right, good, yes, sir, zero zero running

564
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: any of the car Doctor one step at a time.

565
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna fix every broken car. We'll return right after this. Hey,

566
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,239
Speaker 1: welcome back, right, and name of the car doctor here.

567
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: Eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero

568
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: is the phone number. Keep in mind that number. Seven.

569
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: You can call the car Doctor any time, day or night.

570
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: Eight zero nine nine zero zero eight five. I'm sorry

571
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: eight five five five six zero. What did I say?

572
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: Eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero?

573
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: And I give that out in my sleep. I can't

574
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: understand why I would get it wrong when I absolutely

575
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: needed to get it right. Eight five five five six

576
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: zero nine nine zero zero. That's right, that's the number. Yes, Okay,

577
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: Tony's looking at me like I got three heads. Oh

578
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: that's okay. It's a late day to um. But anyway,

579
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: that's seven. Call, leave a message or go to car

580
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: Doctor show dot com wherever you want to find us.

581
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: UH quick follow up you know, we've been following Tesla

582
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: thanks to Eddie Goidias Goyda's Capital out there in New York.

583
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: And Eddie just keeps sending me these great articles on Tesla.

584
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: Either he's got an inform or him he just wants

585
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: to be on the show, which we're glad to have

586
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: him because he's got a lot of knowledge in that head,

587
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to stuff like this. Um Eddie

588
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: starts out, Hey, we're on another insightful article this week

589
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: on production problems, quality control issues, and lack of experience

590
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: workers at Tesla. This is on top of a truly

591
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: non innovative techoto company that number one buys their battery

592
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:23,959
Speaker 1: Tesla buys their battery technology from Panasonic. Really says it here.

593
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: I mean it can't be a lawing right. UM has

594
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: over a hundred billion in debt. We knew that. UM

595
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: burns over. Hey, Tony, how much money do you think

596
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: Tesla goes through in a quarter? Too much? A billion

597
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: dollars in cash per quarter and expenses? Yeah, well, you

598
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: know it's he's gonna run out of money. Just you know,

599
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: I'd like to be there when he gets on the

600
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: unemployment line. Well, that's what we need Tom hundre grand

601
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,479
Speaker 1: for me and hun Tom? What do I What do

602
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: I get? Okay, okay, that's that's that's sporting of you.

603
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: The more cars they sell, the higher their cash burn,

604
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: their gross marks into the ODO business. See he's looking

605
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: at this like a businessman. He's not looking at this

606
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: like a car person. There are gross margins in THEODO business,

607
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: except tax credits are dropping, not going up. As an

608
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: order manufacturer, you want economy of scale, which Tesla doesn't have.

609
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: They have confirmed in their latest earnings called that their

610
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: home power wall unit is an economic in almost all circumstances,

611
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: with the exception of peak power usage in California. And

612
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: in addition, solar cities occurring more than one billion of

613
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: debt per year to their parent Tesla on top of

614
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: the billions in debt. And this brings up a good

615
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: point that I just want to touch on. I've received

616
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: a couple of emails and comments this week. Nobody seems

617
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,719
Speaker 1: to be answering the question that when we have all

618
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: these electric cars, the Tesla's and the whatever's, and we're

619
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: charging them, that electricity just doesn't fall out of the wall.

620
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: It has to come from somewhere. Right, it's got to

621
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: get generated somehow, So you know what's that going to

622
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: do to the power grid of the country, and how

623
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: are we gonna be able to support that? Pulled from

624
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: the perspective of having enough electrons to flow to charge

625
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: the batteries and enough electricity, and then what's gonna make

626
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: the electric city to generate the power for the electric cars?

627
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: Call plants. That's the last thing I read. I don't

628
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: know if that's still true, but Edy going to squot

629
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: his capital. Keep him coming. Eight five six zero nine zero.

630
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: Let's pull over and take a pause. I'm on nating

631
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: the car doctor. I'll return to wrap it up right

632
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: after this. Welcome back. Weren't any of the car doctor

633
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: kind of winding things down this hour? Thanks for sticking around.

634
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: I know you've got a lot of choices and a

635
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: lot of places to be. I'm glad to be here

636
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: with you. Uh. Quick letter from another Hawaii listener here

637
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: Ron retired on the island of Hawaii, commonly referred to

638
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: as the Big Island, which is expanding of the lava

639
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: flows the last couple of years. I'm seventy two years young.

640
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: This is from Bob Smith. I'm seventy two years young,

641
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: grew up in Southern California, but he's got some good stories.

642
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: No better place in the age of the American muscle car.

643
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: I still love him presently. I owned to Toyota Trucks,

644
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,239
Speaker 1: didn't buy my first Toyota or foreign car until all

645
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: I've owned since, though, including Toyota Alexis. I wanted to

646
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 1: learn my two cents regarding batteries and tires. Well, this

647
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: was the tire conversation. In the battery conversation, I think

648
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. As a member of the Southern California

649
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: Auto Club for three decades, I found that the last

650
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: few years their batteries are not what they once were.

651
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: You know, and I've said this about Triple A right

652
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: that it seems like the Triple A batteries, and the

653
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: way I've heard it is that they're purchasing not old stock,

654
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: but the batteries that perhaps a shop like mine may

655
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: not sell that quickly, and they get rotated out there

656
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: buying the rotated batteries that aren't maybe you know, they're

657
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: not they're not old old, but they're not brand new.

658
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: They might be six months old, but they're still within

659
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: the manufacturer's window of what they consider to be a

660
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: good battery. Um, and I'm seeing those batteries fail soon

661
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: or you're not getting your you know, your full life

662
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: cycle out of them. The last eighteen months, I've purchased

663
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: two truck and one tractor batteries, Bob continues from wait

664
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: for it, Walmart. The first one I had no choice,

665
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: the three nearby oto stores were out of stock and

666
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: I had to cut rest. Since that purchase, I now

667
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: have to Walmart truck batteries performing well with warranties made

668
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: in America and at a better price than the stores. Boy,

669
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: that Walmart, it's everywhere. I was impressed at the checkout,

670
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: not only punching the date code, but checking the voltage

671
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: and a core refund. Who knew, Bob says, must be

672
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: many as the stock of batteries and the store as

673
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: many when with an iPad like computer to find the

674
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: right one. The other thing I heard you recently talk

675
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: about retires. It discovered falk and tires about twelve years ago.

676
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: I have lost track of how many sets I've owned, Um, Bob,

677
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: I want to point that you're saying you lost track

678
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: of how many sets you've owned. Does that mean you

679
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: burn through them quickly. I just I saw that, and

680
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: I wondered at least ten running them on trun just

681
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: for the street street much of the time with a load,

682
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: never a problem, good mileage, of course, properly maintained. Thank

683
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: you in Hawaiian mahallow for your show. When you get

684
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: to the Big Island, look me and my wife up

685
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: and make reservations. Will do a barbecue and introduce you

686
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 1: to a locally brewed Hawaiian beer. Sun and Moon Orchards Suite.

687
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: Bob Smith, Aloha to you. I'm run an any in

688
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: the car doctor, reminding each and every one of you.

689
00:34:50,040 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. Let's see you, she

690
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: used to
