And I think that's what the next generation needs, 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: because I don't see what standing there pushing a bunch 5 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,079 Speaker 1: of buttons.

I 33 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: wonder about how it will look in the coming years. Well, 34 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: I wonder about it because I see the repairs in 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: the way we repair airs are being done. Now, I'll 36 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: tell you the story this way. Two thousand seven, if 37 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: one fifty came into the shop at our automotive this 38 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: week and I had to I had to read the 39 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: the text of the labor up the description from the 40 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: customer three times, and I was the one that wrote it. 41 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: When you put the driver's window down, the radio turns off. 42 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: And I went huh and no, and I and yeah, 43 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: and I went for a ride down the road and 44 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: the radio is on, and I had bumps, and I 45 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: do this and I do that, and that was fine. 46 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: I put the driver's window down. The radio turns off, 47 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: and I'm saying to myself, yeah, okay, I get it, um, 48 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: but I don't. So back at the shop kind of 49 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 1: started to go through the drill. And I had previously 50 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: when the customer first dropped this off, gone outside, opened 51 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: the driver's door, and something told me, and I tugged 52 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: on the harness between the door and the a pillar 53 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: the front door post, and the radio turned off. And 54 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: then I realized her description is wrong, and my description 55 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: is wrong. It's not that the radio turned off, the 56 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: speaker turned off. There's a difference. The radio stayed lit, 57 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: the sound coming out of the speaker was gone, but 58 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: the truck was silent. So I sat down and started 59 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: looking around and it was an aftermarket radio. And I 60 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: talked to her and I got some more information, and 61 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: I said, isn't there another speaker in this truck? There 62 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: has to be more than one. She said, yeah, there's 63 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: one of the passenger door, but that hasn't worked for 64 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: a long time, so we're running out of speakers. I'm 65 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: thinking to myself, that's the problem. It's just it's just 66 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: getting to be less and less. So sure enough, yeah, 67 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: driver's door speaker shuts off, pulled the speaker out of 68 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: the door panel. You know, it's amazing how much effort 69 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: people will go through to hide something and do it 70 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: wrong versus the amount of time it would really take them. 71 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: And they actually gotten off their dead behind and walked 72 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: over to the supply table and picked out the right 73 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: spade terminals to hook the speaker up with. So, you know, 74 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: this reminds me about the time when I asked the 75 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: newly hired only once hired carpenter when they were remodeling 76 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: a room in the house, and I said, you know, 77 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: can you just make the coax cable a little shorter? 78 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: I want you to change the position of the outlet. 79 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: And they took twelve ft of coax cable and shoved 80 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: it in the wall. Instead of cutting it and recrimping 81 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: the end on, they took all the speaker wire I 82 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: guess in the kit with the pre crimped ends on it. 83 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: They rolled it up using wire nuts and they tied 84 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: it all together in this truck and shoved it all 85 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: in the door. So every time the window went up 86 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: and down, it would pull on the harness and then 87 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: over time it would just and it was pulling the wire. 88 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: It just it would just pull the wire off the 89 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: speaker and put the window up, and it will push 90 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: the wire back on the speaker and put the window down. 91 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: I would pull the wire, wrote the speaker. I'm just 92 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: gonna work forever. So I said, well, that's why the 93 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: driver's door speaker doesn't work. I said, we couldn't have 94 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: made the same stupid mistake on the passenger side. Let's 95 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: take the passenger side speaker out. No, this guy was 96 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: a dope twice he so, I guess he's going on 97 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: the assumption that when they give you speaker wire, you 98 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: have to use all twenty five ft for each speaker. 99 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: It's for the left to the right. Uh, you know, 100 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 1: makes no sense to me. Just way too much wire 101 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: in this vehicle. Um just put crimpton on, soldered it, 102 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: made it nice, cut it down to a couple of inches, 103 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: tucked it in and it worked really well. And yet 104 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: somebody got paid to do that, and somebody got paid 105 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: to do that wrong, and the car got out of 106 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: the service facility wherever it was. The radio installer, And 107 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: it just makes me wonder, what if you gave it, 108 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: what if you gave that person trying to fix the 109 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: speakers a test little work on? Where would we be 110 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: and how would that be? Uh? How would that come out? 111 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: What would that look like? There? This was an aftermarket 112 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: installation done by a big box store. I don't know that, 113 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: but I would I would probably tend to agree with 114 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: that statement. Yeah, what they do there, they bring them in, 115 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: they ship them out as fast as possible. Here's the 116 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: kit that comes with it. Install it, don't bother trimming 117 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: it down, don't bother putting the right connectors on, make 118 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: it work. They're out the door, they're happy it works. 119 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: And then a year later, guess what, they got a problem. 120 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: And you know, the scary part is that sooner or 121 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: later that kid will get tired of working at the 122 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: radio installer place and he'll graduate and go work and 123 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: repair shop somewhere. Because I'm a technician. Yeah you're a technician, 124 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: all right, So but anyway I'm running any of the 125 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: car doctor, I am a technician. Zero nine zero. Let's 126 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: the garage doors open, let's go talk to Kevin in 127 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: New Hampshire and uh, some comments about my my Miata 128 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: bolt problem. Yes, Kevin, how can I help you today? 129 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: Or how can you help me? If this runs on 130 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: the air windtime? This is it? Yes, sir, what's going on? Hey? 131 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: I was listening to you last Sunday. I went down 132 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: on the farmer and went down to cut some cordwood, 133 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: and I was listening to you about taking the bolt 134 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: off the crankshaft on the Miata. I think it was 135 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: a little me out, a little one eight all over 136 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: it came ona. Yeah. Now now I'm a farmer. So 137 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: what I would do to make that problem easier is 138 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: I take a couple of spot plugs out and night 139 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: feed some soft cotton rope into the piston each piston 140 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: to bring it up so with deadhead, and you could 141 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: turn it off with any rent you wanted. Interesting idea, 142 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: I guess you could do that. Um we used to 143 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: do snowmobiles that way, chainsawers and if you wanted to 144 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: take the the clutch off of crankshaft and and and 145 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: it works slick. Well. What we ended up doing, what 146 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: we ended up doing to get the bolt off was 147 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: just soaking it. And we have a um, we have 148 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: a it's a long bar with a pivot and you 149 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: can put a socket on the end. It's like a 150 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: strike dead blow type of a uh sledge hammer set up, 151 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: like a slide hammer set up, and after letting it 152 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: soak for a little bit and catching the crank in 153 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: the right position, banging, it popped right out. But that's 154 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: not a bad idea either. I've seen that done before. 155 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: I'm hesitant to use it in certain situations only because 156 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: this bolt is torked on a hundred forty four footpounds, 157 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: and I just wonder what it I don't I don't 158 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: like well, I don't like getting in the habit of 159 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: I don't like getting in the habit of putting things 160 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: in cylinders, only because taking apart a snowblower or a 161 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: snowmobile is a whole lot different than taking a part 162 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: of duel overhead cam when eight Miata engine um. But 163 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: you know what, Kevin Fairpoint, I like the I like 164 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: what you're thinking. You're if you have an air ratchet 165 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: and you just set that and pull it up against 166 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 1: the frame and let that sit there all day long, 167 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: just going king, king, king, king, king, king, King, king, king, king, King, 168 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: it'll wear them and it'll it'll wear it down and 169 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: eventually take it off. I've had many things that I've 170 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: had a hard time getting fat. And my father was 171 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: a great teacher and we saved everything. See that's what 172 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: I love about farmers, you know, the Americans, the farmers. 173 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: The American farmer is the guy out there making it 174 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: work with nothing and and and that's the neat part. 175 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: I take my hat off to you, sir. He keeps 176 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: the guy that goes to work without his belt on 177 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: and take the wire tie. It looks two belt together 178 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: to make a belt. Although some of the American farmers 179 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: that have now retired, I think they're shopping at Walmart 180 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: because I've seen those pictures on Facebook about was that you. 181 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: You were the guy. You were the guy that put 182 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: it up there. You had nothing to do that week. 183 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: I get it, Kevin. Every Sunday morning I try to 184 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: listen to you guys. Thank you, sir. I appreciate you 185 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: being there and you make it all the worthwhile. Listeners. 186 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: Just like you, you have a good rest of the week. 187 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: If you get to the Amster stop and see me, well, 188 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: absolutely eight zero zero running any of the car doctor 189 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: coming back right after this, Hey, welcome back. Run the 190 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: car doctor. Let's let's get some emails out of the way, 191 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: and let's they're starting to pile up and you get 192 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: through this real quick if I can. UM First, this 193 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: is one from Anthony Emilio, our our retired Chicago p 194 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: day UM out there in Chicago, and Anthony writes he says, Hey, Ron, 195 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 1: I was listening to the last week's show. You mentioned 196 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: a service bulleton on cameras are bad evaporators? What was 197 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: the number of the bulletin? Thanks, Anthony and the guys 198 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: from park Ridge, Illinois. UM, Anthony, you're looking for Toyota 199 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: service bulletin double ow thirty three dish fourteen that talks 200 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: about the evaporator drain host being blocked by insect nests. 201 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: I think that's the one you're talking about. It's Toyota 202 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: service bullet in double ow thirty three dish fourteen, UM, 203 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: and it talks about the procedure to repair and remedy that. 204 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: And as I said in last week's show, this particular 205 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: problem is pretty prevalent on a lot of cameras. They're 206 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of issues of it, and UM, it's 207 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: something that you know obviously has to be addressed. We 208 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: are actually having an argument, not an argument, but a 209 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: conversation in the shop. And the way, I've got two 210 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: more emails to do. Let me just come in here. Um, 211 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 1: the water leak and I'm gonna change gears a minute. 212 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: The water leak on the Honda Odyssey that I talked 213 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: about off and on over the past month or so. Um, 214 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: you know, they ended up being that they joined the 215 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: middle section of the roof and the side since the 216 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: side section of the roof and the upper A and 217 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: B pillar post where they spot welded together. That was 218 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: a water league. That's a pretty poor design, okay. That 219 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: you you spot welded together and then seam seal it, 220 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: and they put a very light coating of seam seal 221 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: around there, and it actually cracks, and so the entire 222 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: headliner gets wet and it starts to create a standard. 223 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: It becomes an issue. And then you say to yourself, well, 224 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: it's Honda as good at cars. Everybody makes it out 225 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: to be. But you notice nobody really complains about it. 226 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: Everybody sort of accepts it. And then Toyota's got this 227 00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: thing going on here and there's there's more than a 228 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: few bulletins about this evaporator drain nest uh issue and 229 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: problems with the evaporators and the cameras and so on 230 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: and so forth. But I still think that Toyota is 231 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: a better car than the Honda. My point is all 232 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: these cars have problems. Toyota has got problems with evapps, 233 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: Hansa's got problems with water leaks, Handa's got transmission issues, 234 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: engine problems, a slew of things going on. I really think, 235 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: in this day and age that a lot of these 236 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: cars are only as good as the guys working on them. 237 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: And I've said this for years, and I think it's 238 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: really coming to point because with with the way computers 239 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: are helping create better cars across the line. Even Chryslers 240 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: are getting to be Okay, um, they're not high on 241 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: my chart, but they're they're getting better than they once were. 242 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: They still have a lot of electrical imparts issue. So 243 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: but Anthony, that's your bulletin double oh thirty three dash fourteen. 244 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: I wanted to get that out on there. Which does 245 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: this one here? Oh? This was in response to last 246 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: week Ron I just listened to your podcast where you 247 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: asked about aastic model cars and helping kids. Yes, plastic 248 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: model cars are still available, and he sent a photo 249 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: UM of his seventy one Dodge Charger painted in genuine 250 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: plumb crazy with Chrysler engine red block. Um, she's almost done. 251 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: This comes to us from Chasereet Baker, Tracy Baker, um, 252 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: um you know or James G. Baker. Actually it is 253 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: depends on which email you want to believe. But you know, 254 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: whoever sent this email jiggled my brain and gave me 255 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: a thought in that you know what I remembered as 256 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: a kid eight years old, nine years old? We built 257 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: model cars? Who built model cars? Right? Everybody built model cars. 258 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: Everybody had a little car collection. And you know, you 259 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: you started when you were like eight, um, you know, 260 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: and then you know, as you grew older, they kind 261 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: of took it away from it because you're afraid you're 262 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: gonna sniff the glue. Um, which was a whole problem 263 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: unto itself. But you know, um, today sniff and glue 264 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: would probably be modeled. So but you know, enough said, 265 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: But just suffice it to say that, you know what 266 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: it would be neat if had started building model cars again. 267 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: I bet you would help them to understand. And hence 268 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: the when I'm giving out little toy model cars at 269 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: the shop like that, and I wanted to get this 270 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: one up on the air. I've got a big one 271 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: here I want to talk about in a second. Um, 272 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: my driveway has a slight incline. Should I use the 273 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: parking break? I'm not sure when to use the park 274 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: break with the automatic transmission. This when it comes to 275 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: us from Tim and what is he driving? I think 276 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: he's driving a late model GMC yukon Um or some 277 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: such thing like that. Tim. Uh, The answer is using 278 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: the parking break is always a good idea, especially when 279 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: you're on a slight incline, even on flat ground. Listen, 280 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: every time I parked the suburban, the plow truck, the 281 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: ranger and the ranger, I have to it's a stick. 282 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: But every time I park any of my vehicles, I 283 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: tend to use the parking break. Why because if I 284 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: don't use it over time. Number one, the cables are 285 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: gonna get sticky and stuck and they're gonna rust, and 286 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: then when I go to use it when I need it, 287 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: it won't be there. But on a on a slightly 288 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: bigger concern, the only thing holding a transmission or holding 289 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: the vehicle from moving is inside the transmission is a 290 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: park pole park p a w L go google it 291 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: and look at a picture of it. It's just a 292 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: little metal finger at a right angle tab and it 293 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: just locks into a groove and that's it. I've seen 294 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: park pole's break and when they break, that vehicle just 295 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: rolls and usually not in a good way. So, you know, 296 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: getting in the habit of using the parking break on 297 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: a slide incline or more. I think it's a great idea. 298 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: I encourage it, and you can't hurt anything. I'll put 299 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: it to you that way. Um, you know you're going 300 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: through an extra step once you get it in the 301 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: car of using a park pole, but you can't hurt anything. 302 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: It's not that big a deal. Here's the email of 303 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: the week, Good afternoon run. Listen to your show on 304 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: w v o M in Maine, but mostly on podcast 305 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: as my job doesn't allow me to listen on the weekends. 306 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: My question is I have a two thousand six Jeap 307 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: Wrangler manual transfer oh with about sixty miles. It's the 308 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: summer drive. Let's bring. When I took it out from 309 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: the garage at a terrible noise, it startup, which at 310 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: the same time I described as a squilling noise. I 311 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: assumed it was coming from the belt. I replaced that 312 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: in the tension or no luck. It only appeared to 313 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: be doing it when it was a cold engine. Not always, 314 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: but eighty five percent of the time. This this has 315 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: a bad oil pump drive. Um oh. That's when I 316 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: found the jeep forum that had a link in a 317 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: story to YouTube video the lifting barrel of Monkeys. So 318 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: the forum said that the oil pump drive assembly, the 319 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: o p d A, was a problem in the oh 320 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: five jeeps and a few oh six. I got news 321 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: for you. The oil pump drive assembly has been a 322 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: problem since Jeep came to market with the four oh. 323 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: It's just either that or the distributor assemblies. Um. The 324 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: distributor assemblies or a problem also So um, which aftermarket 325 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: O p d A would you recommend? The Crown or 326 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: the Dorman? Neither? Why can't we just get an oee 327 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: Chrysler piece? How much more could it be? One of 328 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: the things I've noticed is that in some cases, not all, 329 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: but in some cases I see that there are aftermarket 330 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: parts available for something. And darned if you don't go 331 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: and talk to the manufacturer and that, oh we part 332 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: is a little bit cheaper, if not the same money. 333 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: You know, what kind of quality control do you want 334 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: to have? UM? Had it this week with a two 335 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: thousand two jeep Wrangler working on the directionals. I took 336 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: the directional switch out. I guess when you take the 337 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: directional switch out and you unplug the twenty pin connector 338 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: from the back of it, and the twin connector comes 339 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: apart in seven pieces, yeah, that's probably no good. UM. 340 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: So I had to find a connector for this, you know, 341 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: and new customer, nice young girl, she's just getting used 342 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: to the idea of fixing a car. And I'm trying 343 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: to be sensitive because I know how skitterous young people 344 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: can be when you you know, you're you're trying to 345 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: explain to them about cars, and you know, they thought 346 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: they were miserable in high school and get ready for 347 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: a life of misery fixing cars. So, you know, I 348 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: went out pricing connectors. Well, I can buy the I 349 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: can buy the connector in the after market. A bunch 350 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: of different places make it. They'll sell it to me 351 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: very nicely for a hundred and six bucks. And I said, gee, 352 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: that's awful. Expensive, so I went looking to Chrysler. Sure enough, 353 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: I can buy the connector from Chrysler for nineties. So 354 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: that means the aftermarket companies buying the connector from Chrysler 355 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: and reselling it. It pays to look at the aftermarket stuff. Um, 356 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: so just something to consider. Tom in Newburgh, Maine, try 357 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: taking a look at the Yoe Chrysler stuff and see 358 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: if it's still available. I think you'd be better off 359 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: from the long run eight five five zero nine zero 360 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: zero running the car doctors coming back right after this, Hey, 361 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: welcome back. Why don't need the car doctor. Let's go 362 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 1: over and talk to Michael and Idaho oh one Toyota Selka. 363 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: Hey Michael, welcome to the car doctor. Sir. How can 364 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: I help? All Right? I got a two thousand one 365 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: Toyota Silica, and um it's got a roughly about a 366 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: hunter in sixty two miles and I'm having a cylinder 367 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: three missfire and I'm burning through about five quarts of 368 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: oil and roughly in about a week. And what I 369 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: think is going on is my rings are stuck to 370 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: my pistons from what I've been hearing. But there's so 371 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: many different remedies and stuff. People are saying that you 372 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,239 Speaker 1: can put in the cylinders or do this and do that, 373 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: and I'm just not sure the direction in which I 374 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: should go. Did Did the misfire and the oil consumption 375 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: issue both happened at the same time? Yes, so they 376 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: both came up together. Well, well, I just I mean, 377 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: the car was burning a ton of oil when I 378 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: got it, and then, um, the misfire happened after that, 379 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: and then the check engine light popped on and it 380 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: just says random or yes, cylinder three, random misfire. And 381 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: then but my point is, or my question to you is, 382 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: was it burning oil for a while and then the 383 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: check engine light came on with the random misfire and 384 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: the miss on cylinder three? You know, I'm I'm not 385 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: quite sure. I bought the car from a chick um 386 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: who was going to school to the University of Idah 387 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: or University of Washington, and um, my dad actually went 388 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: and picked it up, so I didn't get to ask 389 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: her too many questions about it, and so I'm kind 390 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: of just in the dark with it, right All right, 391 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: then let's let's let's start at the beginning. What what, 392 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: what kind of tools do we have available to do 393 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: some testing with anything nothing. Um, I have the O 394 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: D B one and two code reader, and then my 395 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: dad's friend UM has the actual diagnostic thing that he 396 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: can hook up to it to go further deeper into 397 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: the to the code stuff. Um. But do we have 398 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: do we have the ability to do a compression test? 399 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: Do we have the ability to? Yes? So if if 400 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: we were to do a plain old fashioned mechanical compression test, 401 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: have you done that? I have not yet? Okay, So 402 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: you know, I think the before we start jumping and 403 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: pouring chemicals and you know, you know, band aid and 404 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: a can type of stuff into the engine hoping it 405 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: fixes the ring problem, I I think we need to 406 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: really find out what sort of shape is the engine 407 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: in overall. So you know, there's there's a couple of things. 408 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: I want you to do a mechanical compression test. Pull 409 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: all the spark plugs. Uh. You know you can find 410 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: procedures out on the net. Um, just pull all four 411 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: spark plugs. The the idea of the compression test is 412 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: you're looking for uniformity among the cylinders, all right, you know, 413 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: educated guests, you're gonna see somewhere between a hundred and 414 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: thirty and a hundred seventy pounds of compression. But you 415 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: can have more than a ten percent variation and actually 416 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: five percent variation between cylinders. So if ones at won 417 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: seventy and ones at one twenty, yeah, that one with 418 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: one twenties got a problem, and then we just gotta 419 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: figure out what that is, all right, So we want 420 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: to we want to do a cranking mechanical compression test. 421 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two read go out there and 422 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 1: douce I'm reading on a running compression test. All right. 423 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: The the industry in the last fifteen years has gone 424 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: towards doing a running compression test, and in this test, 425 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: the smallest difference flags as different potential problems. Depending upon 426 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: which way it is. You might see running compression on 427 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: a typical engine of about a d p s I, 428 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: but you may see the problem cylinder show you seventy 429 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: five p s I And while you're sitting there saying, well, 430 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: it's only five pounds on a running test, that can 431 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: show much more dressed at consequences, and you know it's 432 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: you're kind of picking your kind of picking, you know, 433 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: a pimple out on the flies behind, all right, You're 434 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: you're being very specific, so you know, a running compression 435 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: test isn't a bad idea. What does the spark plug 436 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: on number three look like when you take it out 437 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: or have you not taken it out yet? Um? I've 438 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: took them out and replaced them quite a few times, 439 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: and they they looked just almost like a charcoal burnt. Okay, 440 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: they all look the same. Yes, So when you say 441 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: a charcoal burn, they're they're black, they're brown, they're pink, 442 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: they're what like the dark gray like in between, like 443 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: just a really really dark gray. Because keep in mind, 444 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: a misfire doesn't necessarily mean ignition. A misfire is a 445 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: miss all right. Um, you know your your yourver mode 446 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: the lawn Michael. Okay, so you start the lawnmower, you 447 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: leave the choke on, does the engine start to miss? Okay, 448 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: that's a rich missfire, right. Um, so you've got a 449 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: rich misfire. You can imagine what an ignition misfire looks like. Right, 450 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: that's a bad plug, bad wire problem in the ignition system. 451 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: And then you can have a mechanical misfire, you know, 452 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: cracked piston, stuck rings, burnt exhaust valve, something like that. 453 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: That's a mechanical misfire. Is the engine physically missing all 454 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: the time? Okay? Does it ever miss? Or you just 455 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: see the light on and you don't know where it 456 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: comes from. Um? Yeah, I just see the light on 457 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: and I don't know where it comes Okay. So another 458 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: thing is when I pull up to an intersection and 459 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: go to take off, right when I barely start to 460 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: give it you gas, it wants to bog way down 461 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: and then almost die and it's so bad to the 462 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: point where, like I can't take off in first year. 463 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,479 Speaker 1: It's just like Walt Walt. And then is it idoling 464 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: smooth at that point? Um? No, it's a I don't 465 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: know about ms at that point. Okay, But is it smooth? 466 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: Is not? Is it a low idol? Is it a 467 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: smooth idol? No? Um, it hops a little bit. Does 468 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: your scan tool give you the ability to look at 469 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: fuel trim or does your does it give you the 470 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: ability to look at data stream? No? About the my 471 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: father's mechanics his does? Um what do you what do 472 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: you do for a living? Michael? What are you working? 473 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: What are you working? I work at It's a place 474 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: called the four by fourth store. But we just deal 475 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: with odds and suspension, lift kids, stuff like that. Okay, 476 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: so um, putting air and tires. You you put air 477 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: in tires. I'm gonna try and second, make this analogy 478 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: you ever you ever get a four by four come 479 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: in and you have to let air out of it 480 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: to go out and play in the mud, and you're 481 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: always playing with tire pressure that kind of thing. Okay, 482 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: So zero you know. So let's say, let's say thirty 483 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: five pounds in the tire is right where you want 484 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: it to be. That's a good that's a good tire, 485 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: all right, that's a balanced air fuel mixture. That's zero 486 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: all right. Um, If we take a little air out 487 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: of that tire, all right, we're we're gonna go to 488 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: the negative. If we add a little air to that tire, 489 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna go to the positive. All right. The idea 490 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,120 Speaker 1: is the the idea is that you want to have. 491 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: You want to have a zero point, all right. When 492 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: you're dealing with cars, everything has a base spec. Thirty 493 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: five pounds is good, tire pressure, less is bad. Sometimes 494 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: more is bad. Sometimes it depends on the scenario. Fuel 495 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: trim is kind of the same thing, all right. I 496 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: want you to look at fuel trim, all right. Fuel 497 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: trim and an engine is a calculated value of how 498 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: the engine sees and is burning the air fuel mixture 499 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: coming into it, all right. An engine doesn't run An 500 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: engine doesn't run on just gasoline, right, it runs on air. 501 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: If you if you were to close off the air supply, 502 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: the engine shuts off. If you to close off the 503 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: fuel supply, the engine shuts off. It's a mixture. It's 504 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a combination. So zero fuel trim is 505 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: is good tire pressure in your mind, right, that's that, 506 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: that's that sweet spot, all right. But you're I want 507 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: to see where the fuel trim is on this car. 508 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: I want to see is it zero? Is it adding fuel? 509 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: Is it subtracting fuel? All right? Now, just like that 510 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: tire pressure, there's a range, okay, So you know, sometimes 511 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 1: you want that tire to be down around thirty pounds, 512 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: sometimes you want it to be up around forty. Same 513 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: thing with an engine. But if it gets lower than 514 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: thirty or higher than forty, that's a problem. You're with me, yeah, yeah, 515 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: Just and those are analogies, kid, ooh, that's that's that's 516 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 1: that's not the numbers you're looking for. I'm just trying 517 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: to draw your mind to the idea that above a 518 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: certain mark or below a certain mark is a bad thing. Okay. 519 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: So you know fuel trim, there's two versions of it. 520 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: There's long term, there's short term. Long term is history. 521 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: What do you have for dinner last night? Okay, that's history, 522 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: all right? What are you gonna have tonight? What are 523 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: you having? What are you gonna have for lunch today? 524 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: If you have spaghetti again, then you know that's it's 525 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: it's it's a recent that's that's right now. All right. 526 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: So there's there's there's long term, there's short term. Long 527 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: term is history. Short term is current? Right now? What 528 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: is the short term? Fuel trim? On this vehicle? When 529 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: it's starting to miss, all right, and what you're typically 530 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: going to see is plus or minus ten you start 531 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: to see more than ten pc, it's adding more than 532 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: ten percent fuel to the system. It's seeing a problem, 533 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: all right. And and now we want to go and 534 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: trace that down and source that out. Why is it 535 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: adding more fuel? Because, as I said when I started 536 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: this conversation, do I have a bad injector? Okay? Do 537 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: I have a vacuum leak. These are not uncommon to 538 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: leak vacuum around the intake manifold gaskets, And there's ways 539 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: to go about and diagnose that. My biggest Okay, well 540 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: there's also ways we can do this with propane and 541 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of other things. But I want to get 542 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: you to that point first. My biggest concern is, and 543 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna go is do we have a problem 544 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: tied together? Is it burning oil and creating a misfire 545 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: and they're all related or are they two separate problems? 546 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: All right, there's no there's no rule. Hey you you 547 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: you're doing four by four suspension and truck. Do you 548 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: ever have a customer come in and say, hey, it 549 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: doesn't ride right and you find out hire pressures low 550 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: and you've got a bad shock? Okay, well, guess what 551 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: You've got two separate problems contributing to the same scenario. 552 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: That's what you got. You gotta split this up and 553 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: decide is one related to the other? Alright, you work 554 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: on that this week. You call me back next week 555 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: and let me know where you're at. All right, kid, 556 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: so much, You're very welcome.

Um, we had a car 561 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: in this week escape. And you know this is for 562 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: all the youngsters out there that or the young at 563 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 1: heart that you know, cars are a problem. We're talking 564 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: about this at the chiropractor today too. That you know, 565 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: whatever happened to the five dollar car that you drove 566 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: for two years, put three quarts of oil in it 567 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: and then threw it away and you sold it for 568 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 1: three hundred bucks, and somebody else droves that stuff doesn't 569 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: exist anymore, Right, You go out for five grand and 570 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,719 Speaker 1: you buy a piece of junk that you put two 571 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: grand into. And it's it's getting harder and harder to 572 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: put young people into some type of reliable transportation. And 573 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: what we're seeing more and more of is Mom or 574 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: Dad are driving that hundred and fifty thousand, two hundred 575 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: thousand mile you know, seven eight year old car, and 576 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: then they get a car and they're gonna hand that 577 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: car off to the youngster. The problem is statistics say 578 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: that the young driver is most likely to have an 579 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: accident Willa enter today's story. So Sarah Um, who happens 580 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: to be the daughter of my chief engineer and producer, 581 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: Tom ray Um, she hit a deer. Well, she heard 582 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: she hurt a deer, because Sarah is a as a 583 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: as a vettech. She's she's a veterinary technician. And the 584 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: phone call was, Dad, I heard a deer. I said, 585 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: excuse me, right, she said, now I heard it. I said, 586 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: you hit it deer? Are you okay? I'm okay? I said, 587 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: how's the car? Headlights broke, bumpers broke? I heard a deer, 588 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: and like, oh my god. And the problem is you 589 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: know that that that bumper and headlight going through a 590 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: body shop through insurance would have totaled the car. It 591 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: would have come close to total in the car. Because 592 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: the car now has it's a escape, it's got close 593 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: to two twenty thousand miles on it. So the problem is, 594 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: you know, what do you do? How do you take 595 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: a young person just getting started out of that car 596 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: and now you have to add a car expense, car 597 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: dead to it. Tom called me and I said, Tom, 598 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do, all right? And I said, 599 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: this is fairly simple. Uh, you know it was. It 600 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: was external structural. It doesn't have to be frontline stuff. 601 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: And I told Tom where to look. You go out online. 602 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: There's a bunch of guys on eBay. Thank god for 603 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: the Internet. We can actually use the internet to help 604 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: us fix cars for more than just reading. All right, 605 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: And there are a bunch of guys out there. You 606 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: send them the paint code, which they tell you where 607 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: to find it on your particular car. Do you send 608 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: them the paint code and they will paint a bumper 609 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: and ship it to you direct. I think Tom paid 610 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: about two hundred and fifty bucks for the bumper assembly, 611 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: and um, it's it's yeah, it was. It was three 612 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: fifty but it was the bumper. It was completely painted 613 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: to factory spect and that included chipping, right, Okay, so 614 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: three fifty it showed up and a headlight assembly which 615 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: was about two hundred bucks. So for five fifty dollars. Now, 616 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: we did the labor for Tom, trying to help him 617 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: out because we we we loved Tom. Ray's part of 618 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: the family here and it's it's something that's because we're 619 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: on air now, so you know, besides that, he's the 620 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 1: guy that controls the opens. So the point being that 621 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: it probably would have been a good father daughter or 622 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: a father's son Sunday afternoon, you know, bonding moment, and 623 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: it's it's not impossible. Look, kids are gonna have problems, 624 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: kids are gonna have accidents. You gotta do something to 625 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: help the kids. And the point of this opening conversation 626 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: is that if you find yourself in that situation, don't 627 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: be afraid to do a little research. Get out on 628 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: the net, see what's available. Even talk to the bumper 629 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: manufact truth. Hey, how you know because I happen to 630 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: know where tom board is from. They're very helpful. You know, 631 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: can he on bolt? This is this something that I 632 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: have to be a trained technician to do this. You 633 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: know how involved is it? And it's just another way 634 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: to look at it that it doesn't necessarily always have 635 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: to go through channels. Sometimes there's ways to cut the 636 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: corner and do it safely, but yet still maintain that car. 637 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: And as a result, Sarah will go off to Tufts. 638 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: We're all very proud of her. She got accepted to 639 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: and Tom's a proud, popping tough veterinary school. Which uh 640 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: and you talk about crazy stuff and as an aside, 641 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: applicants ninety five get into a veterinary program to become 642 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: a vet doctor. So that's a big deal and we 643 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: salute her for that and we admire her effort um. 644 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: You know, but in any event, you know what, it's 645 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: not always a total car Sometimes you just gotta think 646 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: outside the box. There are other sources for cheaper parts 647 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: and sometimes yes, it is something that you can deal 648 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: with on your own. Zero the car Doctor is coming 649 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: back to wrap it up right after this rodenading in 650 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: the car dock here, So how did I do the 651 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: past two hours? Right? The show about nothing? We talked 652 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: a little about this, We talked a little about that. 653 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,439 Speaker 1: Well there you go. So it was you know, it's 654 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: it's the show about nothing. And yet I hope we 655 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: educated you because that's what this show is about. We 656 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: need a Soupnazi. A Soupnazi. Well I can. I can 657 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: work on that, but that'll be next week. Trust me, 658 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,439 Speaker 1: we don't have time this week. Um.

He's 660 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: a long term listener and I love hearing from Michael, 661 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: brought up some interesting comments about Tesla, and we're gonna 662 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about it next week. But um, 663 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,959 Speaker 1: one of the things he wrote up about was he said, 664 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: you have to factor in or more importantly, can the 665 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: range be increased to about a thousand miles a full 666 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: day of driving that the driver can recharge it overnight 667 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: and make it from l A or Miami or New 668 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: York City in four or five days or so. And 669 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,280 Speaker 1: I was thinking about that. I was reading Michael's email. 670 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: So if somebody's driving like cross country in a Tesla 671 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,799 Speaker 1: and they park overnight and they stay at you know, 672 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: certain hotels where they weave a porch light on, does 673 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: that mean the porch light is gonna go them when 674 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: they're charging the Tesla. I don't know. I was just 675 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: I had to leave you with that thought, like, who's 676 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: gonna charge Tesla's overnight?
