Remember John in Africa with the land Rover, 69 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: and he couldn't find repair information on his clutch. I 70 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: want to say thank you to the folks over at 71 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: All Data. All Data came through. They dug deep into 72 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 2: the archives and they were able to send me a 73 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 2: procedure for a land Rover Defender clutch replacement. The problem 74 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 2: was they only made about twenty five thousand of those vehicles. 75 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: It was a limited number run. There's not many of them. 76 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 2: I think the total number was twenty five or thirty 77 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 2: thousand of those vehicles were made in the world back 78 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: in two thousand and seven, two thousand and six, somewhere 79 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: around that timeframe. And you know, not a lot of information, 80 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: not easy to find information. But the folks over at 81 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: All Data came through and did a great job. They 82 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: sent us some information we forwarded all the way over 83 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: to Africa, and last I heard, John was working on 84 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: the clutch. So you know, John, if you're out there 85 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 2: and you're listening, you get this. We're curious to hear 86 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: how you made out. We hope the information we gave 87 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: you was good. You know, it provided what you needed 88 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: and you're to get the job done out there, so anyway, 89 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: keep us posted. I want to talk about, you know, 90 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: I want to talk about does a repair shop have 91 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: the right to turn down work? Because I think it does. 92 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 2: I also want to tell you the story accurately so 93 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 2: that you know you stop and look at how you 94 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 2: talk to your repair shop, because I think some of 95 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 2: you are making some rookie mistakes and I think we 96 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: all tend to do it at times, we all get 97 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: a little goofy, but you know, maybe this will help. 98 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 2: So the phone rang at the shop this week and 99 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: somebody that I've never seen or met or worked for 100 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: before mentioned the name of somebody that I've never seen 101 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 2: or worked for in been a part of twenty years. 102 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: Didn't really work for the person, kind of new him 103 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 2: as a casual acquaintance. I don't know what mentioning the 104 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: person's name would do for them, but they felt like 105 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: they had to mention that name, and they did. And 106 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 2: they wanted they needed tyrod ins or a right side 107 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: tyrod on a twenty eighteen Subaru. And my first question was, 108 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: you know, right side, left side, inner outer front back. 109 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 2: They didn't know, you know, they they didn't know they 110 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 2: were into the dealership for an oil change, which is fine, 111 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: and it's just they needed they needed some front endwork. Okay, great, 112 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: you know bringing in Wednesday next week. Well, no, I 113 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 2: need prices. And you know what, do you what color 114 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 2: shirt am I wearing today? You know, can you tell 115 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 2: me that? You can't because you haven't seen and I 116 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,559 Speaker 2: if I haven't seen it, and if your mechanic hasn't 117 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 2: seen it, how do they know how to write an estimate? 118 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: They can give a ballpark, but you know, it sort 119 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: of strikes fear in the heart of a mechanic as 120 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned. I you know, what am I 121 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: looking at? What am I trying to repair? And I 122 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: asked all the questions right, right, left, inner, outer, front, back, 123 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 2: I couldn't get any answers. So after five or six 124 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 2: minutes on the phone, it was, well, let me call 125 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 2: you back after I read the paper from the dealer, 126 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 2: and you know, they'll tell you what they said. And 127 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 2: so I I don't. Oh, maybe I said the wrong thing. 128 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: I said. You know, listen, I'm I'm going to respectfully 129 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 2: and this is exactly how I said it. I said, 130 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 2: I'm going to respectfully decline this repair and you heard 131 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 2: dead silence on the phone, and they were kind of stunned, 132 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: and I said, look, I've got a week's worth of work. 133 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: I'm busy. You know, I really don't have time to 134 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: write estimates on cars that I don't know what's wrong 135 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 2: with them because I haven't seen them. And frankly, I 136 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 2: don't want to trust somebody else's observations and perspective on 137 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 2: what this vehicle needs. I'd rather do the evaluation myself. 138 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 2: You know. It would be no different than calling up 139 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 2: a doctor and saying, I'm told I need heart surgery. 140 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 2: What's it going to cost? When can you start? What's 141 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: the first thing the doctor's going to say, besides, do 142 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 2: you have health insurance? 143 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 5: You know? 144 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: Can I see it? You know, listen, it's it's competency 145 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 2: in a repair shop is a big deal, right. It's 146 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: getting harder and harder to find competent shops of all 147 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 2: levels and all types and sizes, and you know, upon 148 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 2: where you live it may be darn near impossible. Have 149 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 2: some common sense, You've got to say, you know, the 150 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: right answer is, hey, listen, I've got this twenty eighteen 151 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: super wo I'm told I need front end work. I'd 152 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: like to bring it in and have it evaluated, and 153 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 2: you know, tell me what you think it needs. Now. 154 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: I understand why people do that. They're doing that primarily 155 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: because there's a cost factor involved, and I understand that. 156 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: But you know, you've got to understand something yourself. If 157 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: you're driving a car and you think you're going to 158 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: save money, you better start walking because it just it 159 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: just doesn't really work like that, you know. So I 160 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: don't know my right or wrong. You tell me one 161 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero 162 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero, 163 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 2: because I'd love to hear your opinion, I really would. 164 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: I'd like to hear your context on it. You know, 165 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: it was it the right or wrong thing to say 166 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: that I handle it right, I thought I did. I 167 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: can't give out information on something, you know. It's like 168 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 2: you calling me up and saying, hey, Ron, my car 169 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: makes a squeak when I make left turns, or it 170 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 2: doesn't run right, or it's got such and such a 171 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 2: trouble coat. What's the first questions out of my mouth? 172 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: What kind of car is this? What are the conditions? 173 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: You know? I start asking all those and sometimes you 174 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 2: can't give me the answer, and it affects my answer 175 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: here as far as to make a generalization and A. 176 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: You know, I've got to start to gas and I 177 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: don't like to guess you know that about me? Right? 178 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: I like to be firm and fair and say no, 179 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 2: let's do it this way. So you know, what are 180 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 2: your thoughts? A five five, five six zero nine nine 181 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 2: zero zero. I want to talk to you about it. 182 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: I want you to give me your input and tell 183 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 2: me which way does it go? You know, because there's 184 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: a safety factor involved too. You know, if we bring 185 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: a vehicle in and we quote a right side out 186 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 2: or tyrod and we say it's three hundred dollars or 187 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,599 Speaker 2: whatever it is with an alignment, you know, aren't we 188 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 2: obligated to look the whole car over? Aren't we obligated 189 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: to when we hand the keys back to that vehicle 190 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 2: owner to say, hey, your vehicle is fixed one hundred percent. 191 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: You know, we looked at it. We know there's nothing else, 192 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: because what if the guy in the other repair shop 193 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: that said, hey, it needs tyrod ends, what if they 194 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: didn't look at the back of the car and there's 195 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 2: a broken coil spring that suber rus are so famous for. 196 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 2: Right now, you know, what if there's other issues with 197 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: the front suspension, what if there's break problems, what if 198 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 2: it's got a massive oil leak. It's never a good 199 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 2: idea to ask somebody to use a crystal ball to 200 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: diagnose a car and to determine what's wrong with it. 201 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 2: Much let's to determine what it's going to cost. It 202 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 2: usually leads to a problem and oh, I don't know, 203 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: unmanaged expectations on both sides of the counter. So just 204 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 2: be aware of how you're walking into your repair shop. Anyway, 205 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: I'd love to talk to you. Eight five five five 206 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: six zero nine nine zero zero. What have you got 207 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 2: on your mind? Automotive?

Here's Rob. Hey, let's get over and 215 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: talk to Dan in Connecticut fifteen Grand Caravan. Dan, Welcome 216 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: to the car Doctor. Sir, how can I help? Hey? 217 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 4: Ron? How are you all right? I love the show? 218 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 4: I listen every week. 219 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 2: Thank you, sir. How can I help you? 220 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 4: Hey? I got to twenty fifteen Dodge Grand Caravan, sc Okay, 221 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: and I was going to change the plugs. Actually, I'm 222 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 4: going to have a guy that does my work for 223 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 4: me do it. If I called the dealer, they want 224 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 4: two thirty five for six plugs there. I was wondering 225 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 4: if you could recommend them after market plug that will 226 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 4: be any good? 227 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: Sure, NGK. NGK makes a great sport plug. It's ngkey problem. 228 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: NGK probably does the original engineering on that. To begin 229 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 2: with that that should be an iridium spark plug, and 230 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 2: NGK is is right up there. I consider them one 231 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: of the founding fathers of iridium spark plug technology. They've 232 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: been around forever, and you know they probably have They 233 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 2: probably have the OE plug. I can't say that one 234 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: hundred percent of my mind, but I know that they've 235 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: got a very good spark plug and I would have 236 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: no problem using it. You may even be able to 237 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 2: get an upgrade. N GK also has something called a 238 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: high ignitability spark plug, which how can I say it. 239 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 2: It's it's a it's sort of an upgrade from what 240 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: you might consider stock. And if that's available, I would 241 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 2: go to use that. And as long as you've got 242 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: the intake planum off, because that should be a three 243 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 2: six three point six liter V six where the intake 244 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: planum hangs over the side right on this caravan, you 245 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 2: know if that yeah, yeah, yeah that yeah. 246 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 4: The plan has to come off the top the top theire. 247 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: Yeah right, so you might as well. You might as 248 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: well do three the three ignition coils on that bank. Uh, 249 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 2: you know, regardless of mileage you're taking the plenum off. 250 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: Now's the moment. Those those coils have a very high 251 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 2: failure rate, and you can get ignition coils out of 252 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 2: NGK also, and again you know you're using you're using 253 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 2: really good stuff there. So I have no problem with 254 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 2: any of that. And just make sure your guys aware 255 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: too that he you know, wants to get a plenum 256 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 2: gas gets set, which I'm sure he'll know, uh, you 257 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 2: know to uh you know, when you take the upper 258 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 2: planum off, you want you to put a plenum gasket 259 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,599 Speaker 2: set on it as well. If you go out in 260 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: Google search n GK spark plugs. It'll take you to 261 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 2: the website and you know, you can look everything up 262 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: there and see what they have. But I'm sure they're 263 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 2: going to have this for this. This is a common thing. 264 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 2: And like I said, you may be pulling ngks out 265 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 2: of that engine. You know, years ago, it was very 266 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 2: easy to define what kind of spark plug you were 267 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: pulling out of an engine from a manufacturer. Nowadays, Uh, 268 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 2: you know, I never know, but I am not surprised 269 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 2: to see NGK's out of Chrysler or a Ford or 270 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 2: a GM or you know, anything else they've reached across, 271 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 2: you know, manufacturer lined so to and you know, good stuff, 272 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: all the good stuff. 273 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 4: Hey, I got like around eighty eight thousand on it, 274 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 4: and yeah, recommend at one hundred. And I know you 275 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 4: always say do everything early, so well. 276 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, listen in about in about ten minutes, I'm gonna 277 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 2: tell you guys a story about the twelve Honda fit 278 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 2: with eighty six thousand miles on it that we had 279 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 2: a problem getting spark plugs out of. So you know, yeah, 280 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 2: doing it early is definitely the way to go. Uh, 281 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: you know, it's you know, it's definitely the way to go.

You'd be well, you'd be well, yes, sir, Yeah, 297 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: we had this We had this twelve Honda fit in 298 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 2: the shop this week. I'll tell the story now. We 299 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 2: had this twelve Honda fit in the shop this week 300 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: that that uh, you know, didn't was in for maintenance 301 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 2: coming up on its ninety thousand mile service eighty six 302 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 2: thousand miles. Spark plugs aren't due to one hundred, and 303 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 2: it wasn't a beat up car. It wasn't tortured or 304 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 2: you know, it wasn't by any means abused and we 305 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: had to take the you know, do four spark plugs? 306 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 2: Do four spark plugs on that the the plenum doesn't 307 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 2: come off on that particular car, but the lower cowl 308 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 2: cover at the base of the windshield has to come apart. 309 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: Which it's it's not hard, but it's not easy Honda. 310 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 2: These little cheesy plastic blue plastic clips that you know 311 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 2: now they're ten years old, eleven years old in the road, brittle, 312 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 2: and they fall apart, and then how do you put 313 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: it back together? And we had to get a little 314 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 2: creative there to make it work. But you know, we 315 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 2: had to get to the four plugs. Well, oils came 316 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 2: out easy enough, and the center to plugs were tight. 317 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 2: They didn't want to really move. Give it a shot 318 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 2: at PB and let it soak, and you know, finally 319 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 2: got them loose. They came loose. PB blister always does 320 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: the job. And we couldn't get the end to both 321 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 2: cylinders one end four. We couldn't get them to move. 322 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 2: We I mean, we couldn't get them to move, and 323 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 2: we had to make a decision. We you know, we 324 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 2: couldn't get them to move. So we didn't use PB 325 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 2: on those. Frankly because if I can't get it down 326 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 2: onto the threads. My concern was that the steel plug 327 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 2: is now locked into the aluminum head and if I 328 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 2: can't get it to move it all. I didn't want 329 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: to twist it too hard. It wasn't misfiring, it didn't 330 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 2: have an issue, you know, so I figured, let me 331 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 2: you know, it's hard, right. We ended up having to 332 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 2: give it back to the customer. I explained it to him. 333 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: I said, Mike, you know what, let's let's wait and 334 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 2: see what happens here. If it develops missfire and you 335 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 2: want me to go for it, I've always got a 336 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 2: longer breaker bar. I've always got other things I can do. 337 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: I can go to the extreme. But my point is, 338 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: you don't want to wait, you know, too late. I 339 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 2: think spark plugs because vehicles, especially on a lower mileage, 340 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 2: older vehicle, spark plugs do get stuck in cylinder heads 341 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 2: and if we twist it out and take some aluminum 342 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 2: with us, and we can't get to it to repair it. 343 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 2: Because the spark plugs are facing backwards, they're actually facing 344 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: the passenger department. They're on the they come out the 345 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: backside of the engine, you know, Hence having to remove 346 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 2: the planeum cover and all that. So, uh, you know, 347 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 2: we we left them in. You don't want to find 348 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 2: yourself in that position. Not a good not a good 349 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 2: place to be, So you know, just be aware of that. 350 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 2: We'll we'll see where it goes from here. You know, 351 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 2: had we able to get them to move at all, 352 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: we were we were kind of hoping we could get 353 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 2: them to move just a touch, because they're not they're 354 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 2: not seized on the gasket side. They spark plays generally 355 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 2: do not seize where the gasket meets the aluminum head. 356 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 2: It's the threads themselves. If we can't get the plug 357 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 2: to move such that a penetrant can creep down and 358 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 2: get onto the threads, then you know, we leave it alone. 359 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 2: We don't want to We don't want to make Swiss 360 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 2: trees out of milk. And you know, have to go 361 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: through that, especially having to pull a cylinder head to 362 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 2: repair threads on something where there's no machine shops in 363 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 2: the immediate area of a New Jersey anymore. So that's 364 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 2: a whole nother that's a whole nother conversation. So you know, yeah, 365 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 2: so be careful, all right. Did anybody see in the 366 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 2: news about Ford talking about these there's one hundred and 367 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 2: forty thousand plus SUVs that they want parked outside no 368 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 2: more in the garage. Well, we'll talk about it when 369 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,959 Speaker 2: we come back. It seems like there's a problem over 370 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 2: at Ford Motor Company with some of the Lincolns and 371 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: some of the other Ford related vehicles. So you want 372 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 2: to stay around for that. So hey, five five, five 373 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 2: six zero nine nine zero zero. 374 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 6: Come on. 375 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 2: Nobody wants to go racing today. Nobody wants to go 376 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 2: to NASCAR. I understand, but I'm going July twenty third, 377 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 2: Pocono Raceway, Pocono four hundred. I hope to see you there. 378 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 2: Give me a call. We'll give you some tickets. I'm 379 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: running Nanning and the Car Doctor. I'll be back all 380 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 2: right after this. Welcome back running the Car Doctor. Let's 381 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 2: get over to Danny and Illinois. Danny, Welcome to the 382 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 2: Car Doctor. Sir, how can I help. 383 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 6: N it? 384 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 4: Thanks for taking my call. 385 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 2: You welcome from my. 386 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 5: Two thousand and six envoy. When I press on the brakes, 387 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 5: it seems to want to fight back and slide board. 388 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 5: Took it to my mechanic. They thought it was a 389 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 5: grounding issue and then you know, later, after driving a 390 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 5: couple of days, it started happening again. I said, then 391 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 5: have dropped it back off without employment. They're great guys, 392 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 5: they said, you know, well, I said, drive it back around. 393 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 5: See if you can feel what I'm feeling. But I'm 394 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 5: not sure what's going on. Seems very unsafe, and we'd 395 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,479 Speaker 5: like to get your opinion on it. Anything I can 396 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 5: ask me any questions. 397 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 2: All So, are you saying, as you know, as you're breaking, 398 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 2: as you're slowing down, you feel the pedal kickback and 399 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 2: sort of vibrate and shake a little. 400 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, it actually feels like the car I break 401 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 5: it and it feels like a locking up, and then 402 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 5: it almost feels like I'm sliding right a little bit 403 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 5: like like that the car is kind of shifting and 404 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 5: sliding forward. 405 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 2: Is it worse at slow speeds? In other words, if 406 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 2: you break at forty it doesn't do it. But if 407 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: you break at eleven miles an hour or slower, it does. 408 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: It's slower, right, it's its slower speeds. So what you've 409 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 2: got going on is, and they they may or may 410 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 2: not find fault codes, what you've got going on is 411 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 2: a false abs event, all right, from the sounds of it. 412 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 2: So let's let's let's talk about that, all right. An 413 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: ABS computer really isn't that smart, right, look at its job, 414 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 2: all right. Sits in a car and it waits for input. 415 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 2: So it is looking at wheel speed sensors left front, 416 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 2: right front, left rear, right rear. 417 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 5: It is. 418 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 2: It is looking at wheel speed. If it sees one 419 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 2: wheel going slower or faster, or changing speed and relation 420 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: to the others, it thinks something's going on with the vehicles. 421 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 2: It thinks that, you know, maybe the other three are 422 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 2: in lock up and that one's rolling at normal speed, 423 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 2: or you know, there's a change of speed. It activates, 424 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 2: it wakes it up. It starts to put the vehicle 425 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 2: into an anti lock break event. All right. Now, if 426 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: you're driving and you hit a pile of wet leaves 427 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 2: and the right front wheel actually changes speed and locks 428 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 2: up because of the wet leaf the wet leaf, or 429 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 2: it approaches lock up and tries to lock up, it 430 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 2: changes speed. It will also put it into an ABS 431 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: event too, But that's sort of expected. That's normal. What 432 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 2: you're going through is it's happening all the time. I 433 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 2: can tell you how to make this happen. Do you 434 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 2: have a gravel road out by the house somewhere, or 435 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 2: sand or something that'll make the vehicle slide, Go take 436 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 2: it for a ride and slowly apply the brake and 437 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 2: it'll happen all the time if it's intermittent or at random. 438 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 2: And that's the effect. It's the idea that one wheel 439 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 2: speed is changing versus the other three in relation to 440 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: the other three, or it could be two, but it's 441 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 2: usually it's just one. Usually it is a front wheel 442 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 2: on these vehicles. So what the shop needs to do. 443 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 2: We're going to do this one of two ways, depending 444 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 2: upon how high tech we need to or want to get. 445 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 2: All right, we can look at wheel speed signal using 446 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 2: a labscope, all right, and measure signal out of and compare, 447 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 2: you know, I would compare left side, the right side, 448 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 2: left front, the right front. You know, Do I see 449 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 2: a normal signal? 450 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 5: You know? 451 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 2: Or we could just you know, take a shot first 452 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 2: and see if we see something inconsistent. It's it's not 453 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 2: as accurate. But let's use a scan tool. Let's bring 454 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 2: up just the four wheel speed sensors and put the 455 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 2: vehicle in graph mode or put the sensor, put the 456 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 2: scanner in graph mode and graph the sensors. Okay, you 457 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 2: did you know? I had an etch? I had an 458 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 2: etch of sketch as a kid, all right, an thatch 459 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 2: just sketch. You know, it drew the square lines. I'm 460 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 2: dating myself, right, It went up and went across, It 461 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 2: went down, It went up and went across, it went down. 462 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 4: You know. 463 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 2: It isn't even you know. And one of the greatest 464 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 2: things you always tried to do is make a consistent 465 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: design right on top of each other, on top of 466 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 2: each other, on top of each other. Right, that's what 467 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 2: we're looking to see on a graph pattern on a 468 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 2: scan tool. We want to see it accelerate if the 469 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 2: car goes up to fifteen miles an hour, and then 470 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 2: accelerate even further to thirty miles an hour, and then 471 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: level out at thirty five miles an hour, and then 472 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 2: slow down to thirty two miles an hour, and so on. 473 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 2: We want to see that atch a sketch type drawn, 474 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 2: the one that looks different. Bingo, that's the problem. That's 475 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 2: the guy that's dropping out. The question will be is 476 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 2: the amount of flaw or failure big enough that a 477 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: scan tool can pick it up? In graph mode, it 478 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 2: will have to be a fairly fast, fairly good scan 479 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 2: tool and only bring up those four PIDs or those 480 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 2: four parameters of information because a scan tools, like any 481 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 2: other computer, there're more information you expect at the process 482 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 2: the slower it gets. All right, Now, how many miles 483 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: are on this car? 484 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 5: One hundred and thirty three thousand, Okay. 485 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 2: So you know, piece of advice. When they find out 486 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 2: and they can prove irrefutably that it's a you know, 487 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 2: bad front wheel speed sensor, and that sensors I believe 488 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 2: is going to be part of the bearing and hub assembly, 489 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 2: you may want to consider doing the right side. The 490 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 2: tools are out, you know, the the tools are already out. 491 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: You know, it's an eighteen year old vehicle. It's got 492 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty three thousand miles on it. If 493 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 2: you're planning on keeping it any length of time, you know, 494 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 2: let's do let's do both and get it over with, 495 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 2: you know, because usually one fails and then the other 496 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 2: one fails right behind it. And believe it or not, 497 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 2: what usually causes wheel bearings and hubs and sensors to 498 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 2: go cock eyde on these vehicles is more rust than 499 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 2: the sensor or the bearing itself actually failed or went bad. 500 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 2: That's just as that's a presumption on my part. 501 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 5: But you know that's that's just going and going and 502 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 5: replaced the whole both left and right front. 503 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, hub and bearing assembly, right, yeah, this this should 504 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 2: be right. You cannot, I believe you cannot buy an 505 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 2: individual sensor for that vehicle. It is part of the 506 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 2: hub and bearing assembly. 507 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 5: So now the East build a track, they cause the system. 508 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 5: This symbol on the front of the car or warning 509 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 5: says to Stabila Stabila track system Sir, can you disable 510 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 5: that and still drive the car and be safe or 511 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 5: you have to have that to well, it just doesn't 512 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 5: do this. 513 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 2: Well, this the Stabila track is part of the ABS. 514 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 2: So here you want to and if you want to 515 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 2: prove my theory correct, okay, have your repair shop disconnect 516 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 2: one of the ABS sensors. Put a code in the system. 517 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 2: If there's no fault codes in this system, if there 518 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: isn't anything conclusive, all right, I can I can tell 519 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: you how to you know, it's basically if you disable. 520 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 2: But now obviously you are disabling a safety system and 521 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 2: we don't you know, I don't want to sit up 522 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 2: here and say, hey, let's disable the safety operation of 523 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 2: a vehicle. That's you know, that's not just what we're 524 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 2: here for. But if you want to do it for 525 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 2: testing purposes, only disconnect one of the wheel speed sensors. 526 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 2: That will set a fault code for you know, if 527 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 2: it's left front, that will set a fault code for 528 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: the left front. Now the vehicle will go down the 529 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 2: road and stop normally. How Ever, big However, here you 530 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: will not have anti lock breaks in the event that 531 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 2: you need it in an emergency situation or any other situation. 532 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 5: So we could test, we could test it to get 533 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 5: a get a get a find out where it's at. 534 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 2: And then right now, that doesn't necessarily mean don't don't 535 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 2: misunderstand me. I'm not saying if you unplug the left 536 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: front and the problem goes away, that it's a bad 537 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 2: left front, Okay, I'm saying that because it sees a 538 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 2: problem in the system, it just disables the entire system 539 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 2: from working the problem. The problem could be in the 540 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 2: right rear, all right. It just it just that that's 541 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 2: not a not a method of diagnosis depend down which component, 542 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 2: but a method to prove, hey, this is the conditioners, 543 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 2: this is what I'm feeling, you know, let me, you know, 544 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 2: describe it to me. Well, here, if I disable ABS 545 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 2: and I take a BS out of the equation, is 546 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 2: the problem gone, yes, Okay, then I know it's in 547 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 2: the A B S system and it's not a Warren 548 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 2: control arm, bushing, bad tie rod, you know, tire whatever, 549 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 2: sticky brake, cali and so on. So you know that's 550 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: that's real, quick and simple. Now, frankly speaking, if the 551 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 2: and I don't know what the vehicle looks like, but 552 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 2: if the vehicle's a rustbucket and you're just trying to 553 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 2: get three more months out of it, and it's not 554 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 2: you know, yeah, it's you know, listen, we all make adjustments. 555 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 2: You know, that's life, that's reality. I'm a realist. 556 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 6: You know. 557 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 2: I'm not going to sit here and lighty and say 558 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 2: I've never disabled that for a customer. I make them 559 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 2: sign a waiver and make them understand, hey, you know what, 560 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 2: I'm going to unplug this sensor.

I need 636 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 6: to look into it. And then they don't want to 637 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 6: approve the diagnosis, and they go, well, what's all to them? 638 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 6: And they scan the code for me, and I'm like, well, look, 639 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 6: the code's great and it gives you a starting point, 640 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 6: but that's actually not a diagnosis, that's just a code bread. 641 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 6: So I was just basically agreeing with you. I mean, 642 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 6: I'm at a service manager for twenty three years and 643 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 6: I get those calls all the time, and you know 644 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 6: it did Like you said, sometimes it is just better 645 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 6: off to get out of the job just don't even 646 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 6: get involved. As much as you don't want to do that. 647 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 6: You want to bring in every dollar you can and 648 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 6: keep your guys moving, especially if the checks or flat rate, 649 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 6: and you want to keep everybody you know moving and groving. 650 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 6: But at the same time, sometimes the headache is worse 651 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 6: than the or you know, that weighs the the benefit 652 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 6: of what you would potentially make well. 653 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 2: And sometimes that's sometimes I think, Shannon, I agree with 654 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 2: you one hundred percent. I think sometimes the person that's 655 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 2: going to be difficult and they don't want to understand 656 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 2: the complexity and the liability, right, the huge liability of 657 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 2: what we do, you know, sending them down the road 658 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 2: to the other shop.
