1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Ron an Anian, I don't understand the wallet flush, and

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: it seems that's what repair shops are doing, or some

3

Speaker 1: repair shops. The Car Doctor at fifteen thousand miles. It's

Speaker 1: the same thing, plus a cabin filter and air filter

5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: and a fuel filter. And I read that and I said,

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: how can they replace a fuel filter? Most of these

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: cars don't have fuel filters. They're in the tank. Welcome

25
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: But I am here to take your calls and answer

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: your questions. I've got a lot of comments this week. Um.

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: You know, this radio show is really about cars, and

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: I sometimes I wish the show is in the middle

29
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: of the week because I have these great thoughts that

30
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: I try to write down, but in the midst of

31
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: the world I live in and all the things I'm

32
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: trying to accomplish at the same time. You know, sometimes

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: it's like trying to hurt jelly. It just started going

34
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: in all directions at once, and it melts and you

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: squish and it just you know, it just slips through

36
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: your fingers. But the point of this radio show, someone

37
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: said to me, was just this week they brought up

38
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: the fact. They said, so, what do you talk about,

39
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: and I said, well, it's it's not what I talk about.

40
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: It's it's I'm trying to bring you one step closer

41
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: to the shop. I'm trying to bring you down into

42
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: where I live and work every day, Uh, fixing cars.

43
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: I see the world from a different perspective. I'm not

44
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: saying I'm always seeing it from the right perspective, but

45
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: I see it from a different perspective. Uh. You know,

46
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: at this old, tender young age of sixty, I think

47
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: the better years are ahead of me. I think we're

48
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: gonly gonna get better in time. We're trying to make

49
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: this radio show better in time. We've been doing this

50
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: twenty five going on twenty six years now, and I

51
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: really just see some things coming that are very bothersome, uh,

52
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: in terms of the automotive industry, in terms of how

53
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: you're going to get your car fixed. I posted it,

54
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: and I did this at three o'clock in the morning,

55
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: and I put it on the wrong page. I posted

56
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: it out to the the Facebook. I'm gonna get it over

57
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: to the car doctor Facebook page. Uh. From a consumer

58
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: electronics show out in Vegas. And it is a futuristic

59
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 1: version that BMW says maybe on the road by sometime

60
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: or sometime after of a future driverless car using holographic

61
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: displays for dash controls and buttons and things. As you

62
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: turn on and you look at it and you say,

63
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: isn't that from Star Trek Voyager, I mean, that's the

64
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: first thought I had. I just finished watching the series

65
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: shows you how far behind I am. It took me

66
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: twelve years to catch up to the end. But you know,

67
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: you look at the electronics and the technology, and naturally,

68
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: the first thought I've got is who's gonna afford it,

69
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: who's gonna fix it? And you know, how well will

70
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: it hold up in the real world? And will we

71
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: ever see something like that in the real world. And

72
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure some engineers gonna write me a three page

73
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: email and tell me why I'm nuts and why it'll

74
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: work great, and yeah, go ahead, you drive it, you

75
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: be next to it. You let me know what happens

76
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: when it breaks. Tell me how the masses are going

77
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: to fix that. I try not to get political on

78
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: this show, but one of the things that a lot

79
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: of people have lost sight of is, and again my

80
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: opinion is that automobiles, we're just intended to be transportation

81
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: A to B. Yeah, sometimes somebody drops an L A

82
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: D eight under your hood, and sometimes it's a hot

83
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: rod Honda, and sometimes it's a Ferrari, and I get it.

84
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a little bit of style and and and panache.

85
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: But for the most part, cars were always intended. You know,

86
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: the cars replaced the horse, the horse was a form

87
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: of transportation. We're just trying to get back and forth

88
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: A to B, live our lives and do what we do.

89
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: That's what this radio shows about. I want to take

90
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: care of your horse. I want to make sure that

91
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: you can get back and forth to work, and I

92
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: want to make sure that you understand what it is

93
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: what's going on. I'll give you an example. This one's

94
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: a little near and dear to the heart, and it

95
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: sort of woke me up, no pun intended, as you'll

96
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: see in a minute as to how I think kind

97
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: of above the box. Three days ago, to thirty seven

98
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: in the morning, the phone rang h It was the

99
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: middle Inananian child. She was getting off her shift at

100
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: the hospital, gotten to her brand new Toyota four Runner

101
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: with fifteen thousand miles on it. It's just well, I

102
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: shouldn't say brand new, it's fifteen thousand miles. It's not

103
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: a year old though. Check engine light popped on and

104
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: the traction control light popped on along with the A

105
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: B S. She was in a little bit of a

106
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: panic because she's it's snowing and she's got to go home,

107
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: and to thirty in the morning, driving out on a

108
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: major highway and dealing with the crazies, and Dad, is

109
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: is my four wheel drive gonna work? Or the brake

110
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: is gonna work? You know, why are these dashboard lights on?

111
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: You know, I don't understand what happened. I parked the car.

112
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: It was fine. I thought about it. Uh well, I

113
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: had to wake up first, um, and then I thought

114
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: about it after I scratched my head awake, and I said,

115
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: you know, Katie, just drive the car. You'll be fine.

116
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: You'll have four wheel drives, the engine run normal. She said, yeah,

117
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: I said, anything weird, No, just the lights are on.

118
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: Drive the car stopped by the shops. See me tomorrow.

119
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: So she went home. She made it. She texted me

120
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: when she got home, because that's the father's side of it, right,

121
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: the father would wait until the daughter got home to

122
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: know she's okay. And consequently, Friday morning, I got up

123
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: at th eavan and I didn't go to bed until

124
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: nine o'clock that night, so I was a little bit tired.

125
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: But suffice it to say that the next day, the

126
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: boyfriend unit shows up with the car because she was

127
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: off doing something else and he was helping me, and

128
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: I explained to him why this is a bad thing

129
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: to do. He was. He was helping me by he

130
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,799
Speaker 1: googled four runners and check engine lights, and the number

131
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: one hit on the internet is gas caps that are

132
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: loose or gas caps that aren't tightened properly. So he

133
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: went around, he checked the gas cap, but the lights

134
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: still didn't go out. Here's my point number one. I

135
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: respectfully admit that, Yeah, you know what, if the check

136
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: engine light went on and the traction control light went on,

137
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: I would never assume the traction that that the four

138
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: wheel drive wouldn't work. But sometimes people just don't know.

139
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: And that's what this radio shows about. And I explained

140
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: to her that has no bearing on it. The reason

141
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: Toyota does that, by the way, it's because, like a

142
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: lot of car companies, when the engine has a check

143
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: engine light fault, they're going under the assumption the engine

144
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: not running a peak performance. It's like you when you jog,

145
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: if you hurt your knee, your body forces you to

146
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: slow down by sending out a little sliver of pain. Well,

147
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: the car computer does the same thing. So it'll prevent

148
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: traction control from working, but four wheel drive will still function.

149
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: You'll just have to drive it as if it was

150
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: a four wheel drive car from the sixties, back before

151
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: we decided computers were a way to go. And I said, gee,

152
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: the gascaps not losing boyfriend unit said, well, you know

153
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: what it might have been because I touched it before

154
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: I brought over. That's another problem that the internet creates,

155
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: because all you people have to stop reading things on

156
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: the Internet and then bringing it to the mechanic and saying, no,

157
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what's wrong with it. The mechanic scratches

158
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: his head for two weeks, going gee, I can't figure

159
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: this out, and the problem was disappeared. The problem disappeared

160
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: before he actually saw it her, before the mechanic actually

161
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: saw it. My point is there's a lot of misinformation.

162
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of lack of information, and that's really

163
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: what I'm here to help you clear up. By the way,

164
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: she did have a four evap system gross leak, which

165
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: is generally a gas cap that wasn't situated properly. And no,

166
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: the reason the check engine light did not go out

167
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: is because can anybody answer that question show a hands no.

168
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: The reason that check engine light that we're in front

169
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: of a life study audience today, The reason that check engine.

170
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: Light did not go out is because is it is

171
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: a two trip monitor fault, meaning the computer has to

172
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: see two cycles of the key or two road tests

173
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: in a sense in that it will do that and

174
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: then decide. You know, if the EVAP monitor fails the

175
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: first time, it sets depending fault. If it fails the

176
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: second time, it sets a hardful turns on the light.

177
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: And it's a two trip monitor. So it took her,

178
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: took her two trips and she got gas and the

179
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: dope left the gas cap loose that he created the situation.

180
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: So you know, the light won't go out. Does anybody

181
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: know why the light won't go out? The light won't

182
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: go out until the car completes somewhere between thirty and

183
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: forty more trips or road tests to completion that it

184
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: runs the monitor and it doesn't see a problem, and

185
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: then then the light will go out and then it'll

186
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: eventually it'll clear the code. No, I'm sorry, it's it's

187
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: three trips, three complete trips, thirty turns of the key,

188
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: thirty before it'll actually erase the code. So you know, again,

189
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: don't think by going out and tightening the gas cap,

190
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: you're helping the mechanic you're actually making it worse because

191
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: now they're assuming the gas cap is okay. As a

192
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: matter of fact, we get an EVAP fault in the shop,

193
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: the last thing we do is check the gas cap

194
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: because we want to see the condition. We'll still look

195
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: up the smoke machine, watch for smoke coming out of

196
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: the neck and going okay, there's the problem, so we

197
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: know exactly what's going on. Just just saying, like I said,

198
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: this is a radio show with a little bit of

199
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: a different flare. We're here to fix cars, not just

200
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: kind of push them along and down the road. By

201
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: the way before I pull over and take the pause. Um,

202
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: from my man Tony sitting on the other side of

203
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: the glass, you have a big day going on tomorrow. Yes,

204
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: the Giants played Green Bay and Green Bay fourteen degree weather.

205
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: Now do you want me to tell but talk about

206
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: how good the Giants are gonna do? Now? I want

207
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: you to talk how bad they are because every time

208
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: you talk bad, our team wins. Well, I want to

209
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: tell you why they're gonna do bad. Okay, because they're

210
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: the Giants down the clutch. You know, they share the

211
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: same building with the Jets, and you know where the

212
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: Jets got this season, so you know, it's sort of

213
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: gonna work out that. I don't know, you know, I

214
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, they might pull it off. I don't

215
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: think so. It all depends on which Eli shows up

216
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: and and and that's part of the problem. You know,

217
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: Eli man has got this. He kind of looks like

218
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: a three year old kids sometimes that his facial expressions

219
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: just tell you the whole story about what's going on. Um,

220
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: But they're the giants, man. They just can't They just

221
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: can't do it. And what I predict, if they get

222
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: far enough, they'll get past Green Bay. When they get

223
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: to Dallas, Dallas will have revenge on them, you think so, Yeah,

224
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: I think we already have. Dallas is number twice. Yeah,

225
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: I know. But you know, you can't go knock it

226
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: on the same door too many times. And then we'd

227
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: very like, we'd very like we like to appollo gized

228
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: blower listeners up in Wisconsin. But we have a message,

229
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: ok ahead, coming us, coming coming up, you know, we

230
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: we we like the listeners up in Green Bay. We

231
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: don't want to we don't want to annoy them. It's

232
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: not a personal this, this is just business. It's just

233
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: businesses okay, So has nothing to do with the radio show. No, okay,

234
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: because you know we're trying to be nondenominational here, so

235
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: we don't want to get political. We want to get denominational.

236
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: We don't want to get sports. But trust me, the

237
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna blow it. Zo n Zero, I'm running

00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: But I just want to point out, you know, the

244
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,880

246
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: window of the studio, what do you say. I put

247
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: the plow on the truck last night and the trucks

248
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: in the shop so it's nice and warm. Because I said,

249
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: if I'm ready to go, it'll never snow. So the

250
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: whammy may not be what it was. I just want

251
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,319

255
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: folks from Green Bay have paid me a lot. So,

256
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: speaking of which, let's go over to Rick Lacrosse, Wisconsin

257
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: with a focus and some trans utions. Rick, how am

258
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: I doing? I'm holding up my end of the bargain right?

259
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: You are all right, cool beans? So what can I

260
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: do for you? Sir? Looking to purchase the US forward

261
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: focused titanium got all the bells and whistles, including this

262
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: power shift, dual clutch semi automatic transmission, and this ties

263
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: in well with what you were talking about. Be careful

264
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: what you eat on the internet. I'm hearing a lot

265
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: of complaints about that transmission, and I just wanted to

266
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: get your opinion and experience with it. That trans has

267
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: been a problem, um, no doubt about it. For does

268
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: have their issues with it. But I often think when

269
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: I see a situation like that, it's kind of like

270
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: living in a town where you find out your water

271
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: supply is tainted. At least you know somebody is aware

272
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: of it and they're fixing it. Um, they've got more

273
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: than a few bulletins out on that trans They've got

274
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: a fifteen dash O one two oh, it's out about

275
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: two years now, a year and a half where they

276
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: talk about problems with the seals and the clutches, and

277
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: they've issued a bunch of updated parts. They've extended the

278
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: warranty on that trans ten years, a hundred and twenty

279
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: thousand miles, so they're aware of the issues. The question

280
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: is what kind of price are you gonna get on it?

281
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,359
Speaker 1: And is it going to accommodate you for your aggravation

282
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: if there is any. It's just my way of looking

283
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: at it. I wouldn't turn me off to the car,

284
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: but just know that you're buying something that has an

285
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: issue that's being dealt with. Do you want to deal

286
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: with it? Yes? Or no? All right? You know, look look, well,

287
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: look at it like here. Let me let me just

288
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, let me finish this s thought. Look at

289
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: it like this, um, look at all the people that

290
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: bought Honda Odyssey minivans. And again, you know, maybe maybe

291
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking at things cock eyed, but Honda just recalled

292
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand minivans tens elevens twelves for problems with

293
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: the second seat, the rear middle seat, and issues with

294
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: seat belts and how they're gonna hold and it just

295
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: came out this week or the week before. It doesn't

296
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: stop people from buying Odysse's all right, Uh you know

297
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: it's they'll still be buying those cars and just dealing

298
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: with the recalls. Uh. You know, there are a lot

299
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: of car companies. I don't think there's a go car

300
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: company out there that doesn't have some sort of an

301
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: issue with one of its models at a level of

302
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: transmission or engine, or airbag or seatbelt or you're buying

303
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: the car, you're buying the company you're buying their concerned

304
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: for the customer because everything's got a problem. Go ahead

305
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: your comment. Oh, I was just uh, you know, as

306
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: far as you know the complaints about rough shift, shifting

307
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: and shuttering, you know that's that's irritating. But the thing

308
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: I was concerned about is I don't want the car

309
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: to leaver stranded alongside the road. And from what you're saying,

310
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like that's been a major problem. No,

311
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: as far as that's concerned, I have not seen or

312
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: read about that. Um, you know I would go down

313
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: and you're buying it from a Ford dealer, Rick, No,

314
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: it'll be a private party, Okay, So why don't you

315
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: do this? Do you have a local Ford dealer? Yes,

316
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: before you purchase that from the private party, why don't

317
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: you stop by Monday or Tuesday next week and speak

318
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: to the dealer and say, listen, this is what I'm

319
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: looking at. I want to know your thoughts. What kind

320
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: of problems can I expect with the transmission? What's sort

321
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: of warranty coverage applies to this? And I'm paying this

322
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: for the car? What do you have comparable to it?

323
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: And the reason I say it that way? And again,

324
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: maybe you're buying this from a family member I don't know,

325
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: or a neighbor. I'm not trying to kill a deal,

326
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: but I'm just trying to bring the light that you know,

327
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: if you're gonna buy this and it fits the budget,

328
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: it fits her, your daughter, I guess, or whoever's driving it. Um,

329
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: perhaps buying it from the dealer knowing what you're gonna

330
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: get ahead of time. Just a little due diligence and

331
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: research is all I'm saying, you know, just so you

332
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: don't walk into this blind and um kind of go

333
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: from there. Does that make sense? Yes? By the way,

334
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: you got any predictions for tomorrow? Tony Chop out the bit.

335
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: I gotta give the Green Bay I gotta give the

336
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: Green Bay guy fair, fair, equal time. You know. Well, yeah,

337
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: the Packer offense is on a roll right now, but

338
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: so is a giant defense. So I think it's gonna

339
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: be a good clash tomorrow. You got a point. You

340
00:16:52,760 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: gotta prediction of score. That's easy to what what was

341
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: the score there? Rick, Packers? All right, well we'll see

342
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: how that is. Now. Listen if that's right, If that's

343
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: the score, Tony's gonna come to Green Bay. Um, let's

344
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: see and eat a eat a eat a cheese sandwich

345
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: in the middle of Packers Stadium without a shirt on. Yeah, well,

346
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: see that he gets. I'll tell you America would want

347
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: to see that, so big Tony, Rick, good luck with

348
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: your focus and let us know how you make out. Sir,

349
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: all right, thank you, You're very welcome. Let's get over

350
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: to Gary in Philadelphia and see what's going on here

351
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: of Supreme Gary. We're on na of the car, doctor, sir,

352
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: not gonna help. Yeah, yes, hi, yeah, I'm having a

353
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: problem with my temperature gauge. Um. The after I drive

354
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: about a mile a little bit less, the gage goes

355
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: into the red the hot zone, the two sixty degree

356
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: fahrenheit hot zone. And so I pull over in about

357
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: tennis twenty yards. I stopped the car. Then I merely

358
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: started back up, and the needle comes down, goes down

359
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: to like halfway the halfway point on my gauge is

360
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: about two degrees fahrenheit. It comes back down, and now

361
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: I drive another half a mile and this process happens again.

362
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: It's that the needle starts going up into the red

363
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: I stopped immediately turned the engine off. Uh, and then

364
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: and then and then when I started turn the engine

365
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: back on, the needle comes down. Um. What one thing

366
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: that was interesting is I in my mechanics told me

367
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: to do this. I have the heater all the way

368
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: hot and blowing full blast, and you're getting cold there.

369
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: And I can predict yeah, and and I and I

370
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: can predict that the movement of the needle. Well, I

371
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: have my right I had my left hand on the

372
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: on the steering wheel, on my right hand over the vent,

373
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 1: and you're getting colder air. Yeah. So so as soon

374
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: as I start getting cold, are it's not alone? And

375
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: sure enough the needle starts going toward the red hot zone.

376
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: And then sometime I'll tell you what Gary Garrett, tell

377
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: you what pulled that thought? Babe. Let me pull over

378
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: and take this plug. When I return, i'll have your answer.

379
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm runneeding the card octr right five five zero nine zero.

Speaker 1: Click car doctor click click subscribe. Let's get back to

399
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: Gary in Philadelphia. Gary, you're still there, bro, Yeah, I'm

400
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: still I'm still with you. I wanted to tell you, Royn,

401
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: this happened, um like on my mechanic because of this problem.

402
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: He put in a new water pump and a new thermostat.

403
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: It's been fine until until a couple of days ago.

404
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: Now it's had the same problem. That's happening again, happening again,

405
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 1: that was happening before these replacements. Okay, So so the

406
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: issue here becomes and you know, you kind of which

407
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: which path do you go down? Do you say to yourself, well,

408
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: the water pump fixed it, and maybe the new water

409
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: pump new meaning never ever worked, is no longer good

410
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: and it's not working and that's always a possibility. Or

411
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: is just this a reoccurrence of the original problem. So

412
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: we've got a little do a little bit of diagnosis.

413
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: One of the keys. One of the keys here is

414
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,239
Speaker 1: that you're blowing cold there. Now, you know, if the

415
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: engine is warm, and I'd be curious to know where

416
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: the engine, you know, feel the upper radiator host type

417
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: of thing. Is the engine warm enough to produce heat.

418
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: Uh you know, or let me ask the question this way.

419
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: When the air is cold and the gauge is in

420
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: the red, when the temp drops down or is there

421
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: a point where the temperature in the car goes to warm? Oh? Yeah, yeah.

422
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: As soon as soon as I see the needle start.

423
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: As soon as I feel heat on my hand, the

424
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: needle comes down. With just with my right hand and

425
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: feeling feeling the air temperature, I can predict what the

426
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: needle is gonna do that air. So so the heater

427
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: core is getting air bound, is what's happening. That's that's

428
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: the cold air issue, because air is not a medium

429
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: that that convicts heat. So you know, the issue is

430
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: the the heater core is getting air bound. Where's the

431
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: air coming from? As long as the cooling system is full.

432
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: There's only a couple of There's only a couple of possibilities.

433
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: One is perhaps I don't think so, but perhaps the

434
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: weep seal on the water pump. And I've seen this before.

435
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's in your cases working backwards,

436
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: allowing air to be sucked into the system, creating an

437
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: air law and causing the car to have no heat.

438
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: But it also still overheats, and that's the original complaint.

439
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: From my seat, I would be starting to think about

440
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: a head gas at issue and the fact that it

441
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: wasn't uncommon, especially this is a three one. This was

442
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: very common three ones, three fours, but three ones were

443
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: good for this that they would only when they're cold.

444
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: Once the engine warmed up, it was more even temperature

445
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: and it would hold the seal. But the head gats

446
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: gets themselves are starting to leak. One of them is

447
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: starting to fail or leak or seep, and over time

448
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: it's creating an air pocket, causing an overheat and causing

449
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: a problem with the heat. Like you're describing, just out

450
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: of curiosity, when the engine comes up to normal temperature,

451
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: has your mechanic felt the hoses that the upper lower

452
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: radiator hoses feel good normal circulation heat or hoses feel

453
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: good normal circulation? I think so he had when when

454
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: he was, you know, like I told him to, the

455
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: problem was happening. Also the summer, the summer when he

456
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: put in the new water pump in the new thermistat,

457
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: and I think he did do some of this stuff

458
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: prior to putting in that putting in the new uh

459
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: water pump um, yeah, what what I'm worried about, We'll

460
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: not worried about. But uh, the also the oil. You

461
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: told me to check the dipstick in the oil. The

462
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: oil doesn't have a feeling. I don't think there's an

463
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: anti freezer cooling in the oil. It may not, it

464
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: may not be reaching the crank case. I wouldn't use

465
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: that as I wouldn't use that as my last barometer.

466
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: What I would probably do. What I would probably do,

467
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: all right, is start to think along the lines of

468
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: a head gasket. Perhaps, you know, do a do a

469
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: combustion gas test where we would where we would actually

470
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: hook up. There was a tool that you would use

471
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: to capture fumes out of the radiator neck once the

472
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: vehicle warmed up. And if the dye changes color, if

473
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: it goes from blue to yellow, that means there's a

474
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: sign of combustion byproduct in the cooling system. If we

475
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: wanted to get fancy, we could use a four gas analyzer,

476
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: just obviously being careful not to draw coolant into the

477
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: fore gas and ruin it. Uh. The other thing you

478
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: could do, it's a simpler test. You know, when the

479
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: engine is called take the radiator cap off. When the

480
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: engine is called take the radiator cap off, disabled the

481
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: car so it doesn't start and crank the engine over all, right,

482
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: engine is a big air pump. If there's a if

483
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: there's a leak or a head gas get issue in time,

484
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna start to push cooling out the radiator neck

485
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: and it might come out with a great big woosh.

486
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: So you know, be mindful that you could be somebody

487
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: could get somebody could get a bath or a shower.

488
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: But you know that's a simpler way to do it.

489
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: Now that may or may not tell us anything because

490
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: perhaps the engine has to come up to an exact temperature.

491
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: You know, it has to. You know, a hundred degrees

492
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: doesn't open up the leak enough, and two hundred degrees

493
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: seals it. It's got to be somewhere in that you know,

494
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: mid range before the problem actually happens. That's always possible too.

495
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: So at this point, I guess my my point is,

496
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: at this point I would be looking for and thinking

497
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: about head gas getting combustion gases leaks into the cooling sys.

498
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm creating the problem. Okay. Now, now with this test,

499
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: the the taking the radio camp off, you're saying I

500
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: crank for like forty five seconds. Yeah, and I mean,

501
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean run it and then take off. The think

502
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 1: of think of blowing up a balloon, Gary, if if

503
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: you had if you had a balloon blown up and

504
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: you put a pinhole prick in it, air would be

505
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: leaking out. That air has got to go somewhere. If

506
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: you've got if you've got a sealed container, like the

507
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: cylinder of the engine and it's cranking over but yet

508
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: it can escape through a head gas get instead of

509
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: going out through the exhaust, that air has got to

510
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: go somewhere. It's gonna be air bubbles in the cool

511
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be reflected that way. But like I

512
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: said to me, that's not that's not a definitive test

513
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: in the sense that if this is only at specific temperature,

514
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: and I've seen more than a few head gaskets in

515
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: my day fail at specific temperatures, that at that point

516
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 1: I would still look onto the next test. I would

517
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: do a combustion gas leak test. Or I would put

518
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: a cooling system pressure tester on the radiator. If he

519
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: doesn't have this device, pull the spark plugs, let the

520
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: car sit overnight, and in the morning, look in the

521
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: cylinders would be nice if we had a boar scope

522
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: looking the cylinders. Do we see any coolant in the cylinders?

523
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: Does it still hold pressure if we crank the engine

524
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: over does coolant come out of the spark plug holes? Again,

525
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: all signs of coolant leak into combustion. You're looking for

526
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: a coolant loss via combustion. With this, you're just not

527
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: sure which cylinder or from whence it comes. How do

528
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: you check on a new thermostat to see if it's

529
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: working all right? Someone told me it could be a

530
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: bad dermostat. Well it could, But then explain to me

531
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: why you get hot air and cold are Yeah, because

532
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: it does come does come on? Yeah? Talking about drilling

533
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: a bleed hole through the thermostat, just that so it's

534
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: flowing all the time. I'll take the thermostatu, take take

535
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: the thermostat out and see what happens all that. That

536
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,239
Speaker 1: could make an overheat problem all by itself. You have

537
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: to be careful with doing what I call non standardized testing.

538
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: Remember remember in high school, we all took those stand

539
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: ardized test to see if we were geniuses or not.

540
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: All right, and every once, every once in a while,

541
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: you got a kid that drew snoopy's on his test sheet,

542
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: and he was he probably grew up to be corporate

543
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: CEO of some company. Well, the point becomes that, you know,

544
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: those non standardized tests get you in trouble, drilling holes

545
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: in thermostats, modifying the parameters by which the tests exists

546
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: under Now you've got to run all the angles and

547
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: scenarios on how that test is going to affect the outcome.

548
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: So you know, I would still go with some conventional

549
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: standardized testing, a combustion gas test, a pressure test with

550
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: spark plugs removed, a crank test, although to me that's

551
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: not definitive in this case. And see where we go.

552
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: If when this car is warmed up and everything's running

553
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: normal fans come on at the right temp, you kind

554
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: of get past that bad spot. If everything is working correctly,

555
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: then I don't see how or why it would be

556
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: a thermostat, because where's the cold air coming from. Usually

557
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: when a stat goes bad, it's either stuck open or

558
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: stuck shut. I'm not saying it's impossible, And again you

559
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: know not to just to go back over it. And

560
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna go, do we have the possibility of

561
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: a bad new water pump. Anything's possible, but you know,

562
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: some definitive testing, under standardized testing, under some you know,

563
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: here's what's good, here's what's bad. We'll give you the

564
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: answers before you start jumping around. Don't be a leap frog.

565
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: Start doing some diagnostics. Alright, kiddo, Okay, good Luckie. Let

566
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: us know zero. Hey are you a podcaster? What are

567
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: you gonna do? You're gonna click subscribe me. I'm gonna

568
00:28:32,600 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: come back right after this. I'm Ronaldini in the car Doctor. Hey,

569
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: welcome back the car Doctor. Let's real quick. Good over

570
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: to George down New Orleans Way and let's see what's

571
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: going on here. George, Welcome to the car Doctor. Sure,

572
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: how can I help? Um? Yeah? My question is I

573
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: food would cause somewhat. You know, look, I'm no expert

574
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: by any imagination, but I'm kind of used to fooling

575
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: with those things. And my question was simply this, Um,

576
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: I think you have the um, the year and the

577
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: model of the car, aren't you. Oh six kind of

578
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: like dts. They're telling me exactly right, okay, And it's

579
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: and it's about the air compressor for the shocks, the

580
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: back shocks. I'm I talking about the um air conditioning.

581
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: Now I'm talking about the shocks comp suspension. Familiar with that, Okay,

582
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: it's pretty simple to take off. It just sits on

583
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: the by the back wheel. You know. You can three

584
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: bolts and you take the compressor off your electrical line.

585
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: The question I had is to have a tube. Obviously

586
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: they have a tube being that runs to each shock

587
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: to supply the air, and it has a little clip,

588
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: a little clip on the tubing that you squeeze, and

589
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: you just squeeze. Yeah. And my question is when this

590
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: came about is the compressor was making a lot of

591
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: grinding noise and finally it just went out the compressor

592
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: to the left air in the shocks. Though that's so

593
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: it's still it hasn't dropped down at all. But obviously

594
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: the compressor was bad. So I ordered the compressor from

595
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: I think Rock Autoparts, and uh, like I said, it's

596
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: not a big deal to change that. My question again

597
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: is that when I take off this little clip and

598
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: pull the tube beings off of the shock, the little

599
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: spout that comes off the shock for the tube being,

600
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: will the air that's in that shock comes shooting out

601
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: or do they have would be come use the word

602
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: like a check valve that stops us from coming out

603
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: before you have pushed the new tube being right on it.

604
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: You know, George, it's a great question. And for the

605
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: life of me, I don't remember. I don't remember, and

606
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: all the shocks I think you will on on I'm

607
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: gonna say on some I have had air come out,

608
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: and on others I have not. But I'm gonna base

609
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: that on was the compressor working, yes or no? My

610
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: only concern. And obviously you're gonna take it off. You know,

611
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna take it all gently, so to speak, and

612
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: just stay out of the way. I don't remember things

613
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: blowing out, Um, if that answers the question. But that's

614
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: not to say I've also seen cases where I've counted

615
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: on things with check valves and there's a problem with

616
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: the component I'm changing and the check valve no longer works.

617
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: So that being said, you want to make sure you've

618
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: got the vehicle supported on the frame and that you're

619
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: not underneath it. As far as you know, counting on

620
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: the height of the vehicle to stay the same, it's

621
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: not gonna collapse all the way. It's still going to work.

622
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: Like a regular shock. If if the air compressor stopped

623
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: working all together and the air bladders leaked out, it

624
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: would still have regular shock function on that car. It

625
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: is a standardized shock absorber with an air bag built in.

626
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: But you know, just being cautious, the biggest problem you

627
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: may have. I don't think you will, but you may

628
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: have is just you know, getting the air into the

629
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: system to start once you reconnect everything. But it should

630
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: do that automatically. I don't believe there's a program function

631
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: required using a scan tool in that particular model of

632
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: your car. So I agree with that, and I say

633
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: that only not to be an authority, but it's that

634
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: sounds yeah, you know, think of it. Think of it

635
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: like this, okay, And this is the way I kind

636
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: of try and approach order repair. If that line failed

637
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: on the road, Let's say one of those plastic lines

638
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: got cut, melted and animulated through it. All right, what's

639
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: what's the worst that could happen? And that's how you

640
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: have to fake. One thing about a litigious society where

641
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: we're always suing each other is the engineers have built

642
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: in a certain amount of safety that the engineer has

643
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: to sit there and say you know, if an animal

644
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: ets through this plastic line and the and the shock collapsed,

645
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna drive off the road and his his

646
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: family is gonna end up suing us because we killed him. So,

647
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: you know what, we'll make it so that doesn't happen.

648
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: As crazy as that sounds, sometimes you think like that.

649
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna see a lot of air

650
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: discharge out of this if any all right, I think

651
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the answer. I don't recall it in

652
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: any procedure, but I can appreciate your caution, and I

653
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: would just make sure the vehicle is supported so that

654
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, if the ear does come out of the shock,

655
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: it's not gonna lower itself onto you. And you're counting

656
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: on that extra half inch to squeeze in and out

657
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: from under the car. Makes sense, Oh, it makes a

658
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: lot of sense. And that was my concern, which is

659
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 1: pulling that line off the rubber line and you you

660
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: call that little clip um forget Bobby, Yeah, yeah, you

661
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: squeeze it to kind of together. Ye. Just just just

662
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: be careful when you do take those lines off. There's

663
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: a little lower ring on the bottom of the inside

664
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: of the nylon line. It should stay in place, don't

665
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: lose it. Look for work. Where is that? If that's

666
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: on the end of the plastic line, you'll know You'll

667
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: you'll see it when you pull the clip out, when

668
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: you pull the line out, you'll see it. I gotta go, George,

669
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: all right, I'm up against the clark. Hey you what,

670
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: Sit tight, don't go anywhere. We'll come right back to

671
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm run on any of the car. Doctor will be

672
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: back right after this. Welcome back on in the of

673

674
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 1: what do you got? Yeah, you had one more question,

675
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: I think, or a comment. Oh well, no, it was

676
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: just a comment. Uh that that that everythink you said

677
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: made sense to me. U didn't really think that the

678
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: part where you were talking about that they had to

679
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: leave some kind of air in there to keep the

680
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: body from just falling completely on the ground. Uh. But

681
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: I was always thinking that I need to brace that.

682
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm I'm mentioning this because I think you

683
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: also said it is that I'm thinking about putting a

684
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: jack under the body in the back to hold the

685
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: body up in case in case that would happen. Well,

686
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: and and and not a jack Let's do a jack stand?

687
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: Well jack stands at yet all right, um, you know,

688
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: let's let's let's let's do a jack stand. And I

689
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,959
Speaker 1: was gonna put it on either side, both sides, yes,

690
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: equally correct yet correctly equally I have two of them,
