And I said, winkingly, I said something to 125 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: the effect that maybe you'll get somebody that's gonna explain 126 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: to you why their new cars shouldn't be broken. And 127 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: her reaction was, oh, no, no, no, no, we we 128 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: we know not this week.

And they were very 143 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: intrigued and involved to be part of the process of 144 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: repairing cars, enjoying cars, seeing them for what they were. 145 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: The person in the corner and I failed to get 146 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: her name, there was just so much conversation going on 147 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: explained to me that and I'm not sure what her 148 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: capacity was. I don't know if she was the appointment 149 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: coordinator or she was assistant service manager. But she explained 150 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: to me that as a young girl, four or five 151 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: years old, her grandfather taught her had to change a flat, 152 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: and over the years she learned how to work on 153 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: cars and it just kind of stuck. And and she 154 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: has one disappointment in newer cars. It's they're all alike. 155 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: There's no personality to a new car it And she's right, 156 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's they all kind of look like heart 157 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: hats going down the road. Sometimes that's what I think 158 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: to myself. There's no there's no stand out, there's no umph. 159 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: And she said her greatest joy is sitting in a 160 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: car that has some well and my words, but but 161 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: her thoughts it was bark, bite and feel to it 162 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: that she knows she's sitting in a car. It makes 163 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: her feel alive. It was very different. It's not it was. 164 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: It's not a conversation I've had in a new car 165 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: dealership in a long, long time. There was a lot 166 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: of passion in the room. And I think that's what 167 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: you need today to work on cars. You need passion 168 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: and come passion. And they had both, and they're like 169 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: a microcosm of the way it was years ago about 170 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: people that just you know, sure they wanna you know, 171 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: they want to do their job and they want to 172 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: they want to move the day along, but they want 173 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: to help people fix cars. And you could get that 174 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: sense they were really car people. They weren't. They were 175 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: in salesman per se. And it was it was just 176 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: very refreshing and it was joyable to see how they 177 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: handled an outsider like me walking in and they didn't 178 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: make me feel like I was in the way. Um, 179 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: they actually extorted, you know, we gotta get you to 180 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: hang out here all day. Of course, I got to 181 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: tell them what all the card names really mean. And 182 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: I didn't tell them all the card names, but I 183 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: told them what Toyota and Honda stands for. And they 184 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: really enjoyed that, because I've got a feeling that Toyota 185 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: and Honda tends to drive them crazy. They hear about 186 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: everybody else's cars, and um, now they've got something to 187 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: come back at them with. So I'm gonna have to 188 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: stop back and you know, perhaps find another reason to 189 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: sit in the room and see if I can extort 190 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: an interview or two out of them, because I think 191 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot when you've got a group of service 192 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: writers of six people, and four of the six are women, 193 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: and they're so dark and good at their job in 194 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,119 Speaker 1: what was once a male dominated industry. And these these 195 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: these these four women are just stellar. The guys are 196 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: no slouches, they knew their gig, but these women have 197 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: worked really hard. And I think there's a um, there's 198 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: something about empowering women right and in the way they 199 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: approach it that they're not afraid to be self thinkers. 200 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: And you could see that and what they did. I 201 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: was very very impressed, very impressed. Um, they got the 202 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: job done. Half hour I was out the door. Maybe 203 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: it was a little longer. I think they were kind 204 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: of dragging their heels because they were enjoying the conversation. UM, 205 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: just talking about cars and the way cars were in, 206 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: the way cars could be, and what the future of 207 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: the industry looks like. So uh, you know, just a 208 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: just a good time. If they if they ever happened 209 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: to get this broadcast, I want to say thank you. 210 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: It was like being on vacation for me. Um. I 211 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: got to spend a very refreshing morning getting my day started. 212 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: UM to the folks over there at my law Afford 213 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: Service eight five zero running name of the Car Doctor 214 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: coming back to answer your questions right after this. Don't 215 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: go away, that's right. If you call and we're not live, 216 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: you can leave a message and call you back to 217 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: get you on the air with Ron eight five five 218 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: zero nine zero zero. Speaking to Ron there he is, Hey, 219 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: let's get on over and talk to Jack in Connecticut 220 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: eleven Chevy Traverse. Jack. Welcome to the Car Doctor, sir, 221 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: How can I help you? Hi? Ron? I have a 222 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: Chevy Traverse with a hundred sixty thousand miles and I 223 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: love the car. It runs beautiful, easy to work on. 224 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: But the last couple of months I would having a 225 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: problem where when I'm on the highway, and I mean, 226 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: like say, even say cruise control, uh if a slight 227 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: incline comes, the car starts bucking and and and let 228 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: me tell you, say I'm on a straight away and uh, 229 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: say it's sixty five and it's not bucking. I can 230 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: see the RPMs fluctuating, and like, So what I've done 231 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: so far is I've changed the oxygen sensors, all four 232 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: of them. I changed the plugs, changed the coils, and 233 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: I changed the mass um air sensor. And I haven't 234 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: had any was in over at least a month. The 235 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 1: last codes they had were P four twenty and P two. 236 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: I said, that was like a month ago before I 237 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: changed the oxygen sensors, and since then I have not 238 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: had a code. And also I had somebody in work 239 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: had this blue driver. So we drove around monitoring the 240 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: car and nothing popped up. P zero four cats as 241 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: a CAT code doesn't ring a bell, but P zero 242 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: four twenty as a CAT fault generally won't cause a 243 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: situation like you're describing. Now, let me ask you this question. 244 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: Out of everything you've done, have you looked at data 245 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: stream at all to look at fuel trim numbers? The 246 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: fuel actually the fuel trim They did look at and 247 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: it was very good. What was? What was? I don't 248 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: know if this unit that they have does it quick enough? 249 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,719 Speaker 1: Doesn't not? If you know what I mean, it like 250 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 1: takes um readings quick enough. That's what I was thinking. 251 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,479 Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you a bunch of engineers 252 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: and they're like, thanks driving me crazy. All the all 253 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: all the money you spent on parts. How much money 254 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: you figure you got in parts in this car? Now? 255 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: Three bucks? Yeah? Um much on a scantol if you're 256 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,599 Speaker 1: gonna have a go ahead, I have a I have 257 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: a look called the reader, which scantel. Would you recommend 258 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: something that will give you a data stream that's in 259 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: your budget? And you know, the scan tool market today 260 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: is flooded with so many choices you're looking for. If 261 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: if I wasn't in the business anymore and I wanted 262 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: to scan tool, the first place I'd go as eBay 263 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: and buy something used that was high end in its day. 264 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: But you know, this is an older car and I 265 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: don't need I don't need latest technology for an eleven traverse. 266 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,439 Speaker 1: I would be I would go buy an older snap 267 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: On Motus or something, and you know, that's sure it's 268 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: been a thousand bucks or fifteen hundred bucks, but it'll 269 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: probably last a good long time and it's a big 270 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: wide screen and uh, you know. Or I would look 271 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: for something in the way of O B D two 272 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: capability and this way, at least, all the all the 273 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: numbers and all the PIDs, all the pieces of dad 274 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: are the same from vehicle to vehicle, and you know, 275 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,959 Speaker 1: regardless of manufacturer. But I wouldn't spend And I'm not 276 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: picking on you don't misunderstand me. I'm just trying to 277 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: make a point that I wouldn't spend four throwing parts 278 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 1: at something until I knew what I was doing, because 279 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: in a lot of cases, I can make the situation worse. Uh. 280 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: You know, you're you're inviting the opportunity for bad new parts, 281 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: um wrong new parts, or improperly installed new parts and 282 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: creating a whole another scenario, and it can happen. You're 283 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: You're just better off doing a diagnosis. So let's start 284 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: over where I would where I would watch this car. Uh, 285 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: there's a couple of things I would look at. I 286 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: would be watching fuel trim while I'm driving. I would 287 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: have a real good understanding of fuel trim, all right, 288 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: I would understand short term fuel trim. Long term fuel trim. 289 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: Long term is history. Short term is in the moment. 290 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: If zero is a balanced air fuel mixture. On short term, 291 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna typically see plus or minus eight, depending upon 292 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: the vehicle application, load and so on. The key comes 293 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: back to where does long term? Where does short term 294 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: drive long term? You generally don't see long term fuel 295 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: trim exceeding twelve to fifteen percent. When you see it 296 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: start to creep up past fift it's being pushed by 297 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: short term and there's a problem. And when combined short 298 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: and long term fuel trim again depending upon vehicle and manufacturer, 299 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: exceeds twenty two to generally. That's when you get a fault, 300 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: all right, And it could be negative or positive. It's positive, 301 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: it's adding fuel. If it's negative, it's taking fuel away. 302 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: What's common with the Traverses and other GM vehicles of 303 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: this generation are injector issues, clogged injectors, bad injectors, and 304 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: you will start to see it as misfires. Sometimes it 305 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: comes up as a P zero three misfire fault. Sometimes 306 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: it comes up as as a direct misfire on a 307 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: specific cylinder. Now you may not see this impending or 308 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: current trouble codes you've got in here. We are you've 309 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: gotta have a scan tool that breaks down Mode six 310 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: into English and you can look at that pre check 311 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: engine light fault all right. In other words, it's it's 312 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: the same story I always say about you start to 313 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: get a sore throat on Monday, but you're not really 314 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: sick until Wednesday. Monday is when you're your computer ran 315 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: the Mode six tests saying hey, I think what's going on? Hey, 316 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: I think I'm getting a sore throat, and by Tuesday 317 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: and Wednesday, by Wednesday you've got a running nose and 318 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: a and a and a sore throat full blown and 319 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: you're sick. And you wake up and you go, I 320 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: don't want to go to work today. Um, that's when 321 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: your check engine light went on. Car computers do the 322 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: same thing. They're always running prefault tests, if you will, 323 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: to determine actual condition. So learning a little bit about 324 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: mode six would really help you. I know, when we 325 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: went on and drove around with that blue driver which 326 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: item and it works through your phone, we were looking 327 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: on mode six and nothing popped up. So it's gonna 328 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: be too cheap of a device. Well, and the other 329 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: thing you gotta think about is all these things that 330 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: work on your phone are great. They'll give you information, 331 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: but how fast are they updating their information and how 332 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,959 Speaker 1: fast are they actually giving it to you? All Right? 333 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: You know, speed is essential. That's why you know, look 334 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: at all the things we do with our smartphones now 335 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: and CPUs and the bigger CPU does more. That's why 336 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: you sort of need a handheld scantal. The argument can 337 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,719 Speaker 1: be made, but regardless, okay, Um, take a look at 338 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: fuel trim, be aware. Could this be a trans issue? 339 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: All right, here's what I want you to do, and 340 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: then call me back next week. Find that level flat road, 341 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: all right, get your rpm to start to rise and fall, 342 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,719 Speaker 1: and just while you're accelerating, tap the brake pedal. Al right, 343 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: you had a scantel hooked up, you'd watch the card 344 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: drop out of lock up, all right, but do it 345 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: attur lightload, tap the brake pedal. Does the problem go away? 346 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: The fact that it comes out of lock up tells 347 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: us that, yeah, maybe it's lock up related, transmission related, 348 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: and then we can talk about that next week. You 349 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: call me back and we'll let go from there. Hey, 350 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: coming up next, do you ever wonder about fuel system problems? 351 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: I did, Ronny of the Car Doctor with gold Eagle. Next, 352 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: don't go away, we're back right after this. Hey, Hey, 353 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: we're back, Ronny in the Car Doctor. We recently had 354 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: a sixty six Cadillac Eldorado in the shop, and I 355 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: think you've heard me talk about it before. I was 356 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: we're talking about the fuel issue, right. The vehicle owner 357 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: had let it sit for well, in his mind, a 358 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: very short period of time. But it was ten months 359 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: to a year, was the answer I got. Personally, I 360 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: think it was probably a year and a half for longer, 361 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: and he learned a very expensive lesson and that I 362 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: had to go through it and rebuild the carburetor. Fuel 363 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: had become a problem, and rebuild the fuel pump. And 364 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: sixty six Cadillac Eldorado parts aren't exactly as plentiful as 365 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: they once were. So, you know, it doesn't matter whether 366 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: you're own a classic or it doesn't matter such as that, 367 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: or whether you're owning something more modern, and it has 368 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: to sit. Fuel still becomes an issue. Well, I've got 369 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: some answers for you. I've reached out to Matt Bannocky 370 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: is the senior director of marketing at gold Eagle, and 371 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: Matt's here with us today to talked a little bit 372 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: about well fuel and fuel stabilization and the dudes and 373 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: the don'ts. Matt, Welcome to the Car Doctor. Yeah, thank 374 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: you for having me in. Um, let's talk about fuel. 375 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: How you know, has it changed? Well? And obviously fuel 376 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: has changed in sixty six, but as it changed in 377 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: recent times that it doesn't stay fresh as long as 378 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: it once did. Yeah, So in the eighties and in 379 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: the nineties they started change in fuel quite a bit 380 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: from that sixty six UM, So Eldorado tornadoes. You say Eldorado. Eldorado, 381 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: So not Eldorado. Um, you're not an ethanol in the 382 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: gas so ea ten gas is most prevaled gasing United States. 383 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: It's plus of the gases out there, which it's if 384 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: that's your octane booster, it's your oxy. Change helps the 385 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: cart or the fuel run cleaner, but it caused some problems, 386 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: so it tends to make the gas go bad and 387 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: as little as thirty days. Um, most people don't really 388 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: know what I mean, you know, but most people don't 389 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: really realize that bad gas lane smells like. It looks 390 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: like they know what they won't know what bad milk 391 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: smells like. They know that milk goes bad, but they 392 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: forget that gas lane goes bad. Yeah, and it goes 393 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: bad very quickly from what you're saying. You know, the 394 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: stuff that came out of this tank was just it 395 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: just had a stink to it that you know, you 396 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: couldn't help. But notice, um, is it is it just 397 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: the smell that tells us when the fuel goes bad? 398 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: Man or what else can happen to it? Uh, it darkens. 399 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: So when you look at fuel, I mean if you 400 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: can get into a glass jar or something like that, 401 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: it's a lot darker than fresh gas. It's almost like 402 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: a brownish allor um. And that's that gas kind of 403 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: gumming up. So that's where you're gonna develop your needle 404 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: valves and your accelerator pumps and all those other things 405 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: and coggo fuel filters. As that gas gets older, it 406 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: gets thicker and gets less slammable, so it's not as 407 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: uh not as easy to use. It's it's not as combustible. 408 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: Maybe that's the word, right, It doesn't it doesn't have 409 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: the pop. Yes, I think it's older, it loses its 410 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: light end, and the light end is really the pop 411 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: that you're looking for. It if that happens that, if 412 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: the fuel does go brown and does go bad, does 413 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: the system have to be flushed? Can it just be 414 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: drained out the old and put in fresh new? You know? 415 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: Is there is there a procedure or just it's catch 416 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 1: as catch can whatever works? Um, I mean all, I mean, 417 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: there's no This is exactly what you need to do. 418 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to ask best practice and 419 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: best practice and drain as much as the gas out 420 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: as you can, put fresh gas in, fresh stabilized gas in, 421 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: and then you can run up to the system. Sometimes 422 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: you can top off. It just depends on how bad 423 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: the gas is gone. That's that's the challenge. You need 424 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: to stabilize or treat your gas when it's fresh. Once 425 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: it starts getting old, you kind of don't know where 426 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: you're at, so it makes it difficult to put one 427 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: one thing on it. But if you just drain it 428 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: and start fresh, it's the best. If if you do 429 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: drain it and you know, start with fresh, If you 430 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: put fuel stabilizer in, does that help the tank condition 431 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: at that point is it will? Will the stabilizer help 432 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: the old gas and the new gas kind of combined 433 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: together and eventually burn out? Um, I mean it's it 434 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: will help clean Um. There's some water remomers that helps 435 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: that there's any water in the old gas will help 436 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: help pull it through. But it's and it restores some 437 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: of the light ends the fuel which helps it burn. 438 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: But if if you had i don't know, say half 439 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: a tank of older gas that's not terribly old, like 440 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: maybe six months to a year, old and then you 441 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: top it off with fresh gas. You're probably okay, but 442 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: you really want to run it through as quick as 443 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: you can to get a full fresh tank of gas. 444 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: Is there is there a difference? You know, thinking about 445 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: the landscapers and the guys store mowers and then the snowblowers, 446 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,719 Speaker 1: and you know, back and forth every six months one 447 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: it's one or the other. Um are there different fuel 448 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: issues and two cycle engines versus four cycle engines? Um? 449 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: I mean they have they have the same issues. But 450 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: the issue you have additionally with two stroke is I 451 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: mean they're they're tiny harborers typically, I mean they cog 452 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: up very easy and any outdoor powerments like that, but 453 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: I mean handheld wheat trimmers are very susceptible to it, 454 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: so that gum and marsh is bad for them. But 455 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: also ethimol tends to attract water and it brings that 456 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: water into the system and suspended the fuel. So obviously 457 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: water and oil don't mix. So it's it's given more 458 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: more important to be careful with your two strokes because 459 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: you only get to have damage your walls, your cylinders, 460 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: your rings or anything like that. So then can you 461 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: use an additive you know stable. Let's talk about stable, right. 462 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: Can you use stable in a two stroke just like 463 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: you can in a four stroke? Is it? Is it 464 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: beneficial to both? Yeah, you can run in two stores 465 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: two strokes or four strokes. Mean the all of our 466 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: gas addit is that we make work in any gas 467 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: We have an inthanel tree, and then we have just 468 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: a regular fuel stabilizer. We do make separate additives for keesel. 469 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: Is there? You know you say additive? Everybody runs editives 470 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: in their in their gasoline today. Is there a need 471 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: for a specific editive today? Is there's something the gasoline 472 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 1: is lacking that the editive provides? Um? So, I mean 473 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: everything is a cost right, So there the gas manufacturers 474 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: are doing their due diligence to create a product for 475 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: you that's gonna last for most people out there. So 476 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: if it's designed to going your car, your lawnlow or 477 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: your boat, whatever it may be, and be used, it's 478 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: not necessarily designed to sit there for a long period 479 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: of time. So if you're gonna you're going to change 480 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: the plan and let it's sitting there for periods of time, 481 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: that's when you want to add more or the anti 482 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: accident that stable heads in there, which protects the fuel 483 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: and keeps it fresh longer than the gas manufacturers planned 484 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,479 Speaker 1: done right, So there, Yeah, obviously a benefit. Hey man, 485 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking the time with us today's Is 486 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: there a place the listeners can go for more information? Yeah, 487 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: I would. Our website's got tons of information for best 488 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: practice on storying. Things are answering, I mean kind of 489 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: all the questions we talked about. It's gold Eagle dot com. 490 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: We have blogs and everything there. Cool beans, Matt, once again, 491 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: thanks for taking the time. I know you're a busy 492 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: guy and uh um, we're glad to have you with 493 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: us today. Well, thank you very much. Good luck, good 494 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: luck with the Eldorado. Yeah, you know we'll be a 495 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: tune in. Well, I'll tell you how that ends up. 496 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: We're still working on. It's a little bit of a 497 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: big restoration. But thanks again Matt, Ron and ainding in 498 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: the car doctor here. We'll be back right after this 499 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: and welcome back once again thanks to Matt Bannock and 500 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: the folks over at gold Eagle. Great interview and a 501 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: lot of affair banter regarding uh Stable and the problems 502 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: with casoline and now Stable helps the correct that we 503 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: know they're hard at work to stay current with a 504 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: fuel situation because one thing we know is fuel is 505 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: always changing, right food, Fuel is always evolving. And the 506 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: companies like Gold Eagle and Stable brand are they here 507 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: to help us with our fuel problems, fuel storage issues 508 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: on the older cars as well as newer cars. You know, 509 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: you go away for a month, you should be putting 510 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: a bottle of Stable in the gas tank. Go away 511 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: on vacation within thirty days, is Matt pointed out, it 512 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: loses its pop and it can't affect the overall quality 513 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: and fuel systems on newer cars. Listen to sixty six Eldorado. 514 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: We were speaking about you know that was I mean 515 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: nuts and bolts parts and I was able to find 516 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: the pieces I need and it wasn't terribly expensive, but 517 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine having to replace the equivalent on a 518 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: late model something with injectors and a fuel pump and 519 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: gas tank, and you know it's it's the cost factor 520 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: is just huge. So a little bit of fuel stabilizer 521 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: goes a long long way. Let's go over the phones. 522 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: Let's go over and talk to Ken in New Hampshire BMW. 523 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: Ken Welcome to the car doctor, sir, how can I 524 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: help Hi? Thank you for taking the call. Um. I recently, 525 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 1: within the past year purchased a pre owned two thousand 526 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: thirteen uh A d MW X five and I've tried 527 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: to take good care of it. It's a low mileage 528 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 1: fifty thou miles for two thousand. What I ran into 529 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: is the battery died. So I went down to BMW 530 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: dealer and they replaced the battery and gave me a 531 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: bill five dollars And I said five hundred dollars for 532 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: a battery and they said, well, we have to reprogram 533 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: it with a new battery. Okay. I paid the bill. 534 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: Then about a month later, I said, um, I want 535 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: to get a hitch put on the car or what 536 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: lack costs? And they said sixteen hundred dollars. I said 537 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: sixteen hundred for a hitch Why, well, we have to 538 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: reprogram it to let the car know, the computer know 539 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: that it sometimes it will be pulling a load. So 540 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: I said, to get about the hitch. I wanted to 541 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: know is is this factual? I mean, do I really 542 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: need a programmed when it gets new? If yeah, what 543 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: happens is so we'll talk about the battery first. So BMW, 544 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: like a lot of vehicle manufacturers have a BSM or 545 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: a battery ervius monitor. They will alternate or change or 546 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: tune if you will, is maybe the better word. The 547 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: charge rate and how the alternator reacts to the battery 548 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: based on the battery. Each battery is a little different, 549 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: right No, No, two batteries. They are like snowflakes and children. 550 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: None of them are the same, right there? Not identical. Um, 551 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,959 Speaker 1: having raised three kids, I'm qualified to say that. Uh, 552 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, having worked on cars all these years and 553 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: looked at the differences in batteries, you'll you'll you'll see 554 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: different things. And what they're doing is they're programming the 555 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: capacitance and the resistance values of that battery. And it's 556 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: it's not it's not like this big programming exercise. Ken, 557 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: It's just that you know, listen, they've got the scan tool. 558 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: They you know, it's it's they kind of have you 559 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: over a barrel. I mean, no other way to say it. 560 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: It's and that's what they choose to charge. Now out 561 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: of that, how much was the battery? The battery had 562 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: to be to Bucks as a guess, and they probably 563 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: charge upwards of an hour and a half to do 564 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: the install and the programming plus tax, they're your five bucks. 565 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's you know, listen, it's a BMW. Look 566 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: at the driving experience, right, So, um, the trailer hits 567 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: the trailer hitch, now that's six how much of that 568 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: is actual to hitch? The wiring and then the programming 569 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: and the programming involved is that they have to go through. 570 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: And my understanding on BMW that model year and a 571 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: lot of the model years is let's say there's a 572 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: hundred and ten computers on that vehicle. All right, it's 573 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: probably not a not an impossible reach, although the next 574 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: five isn't. Uh super I'm thinking of the seventh series Beamers. 575 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: I know there's well over a hundred processors. But if 576 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: the computer they have to get to is number they 577 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: have to go through the first forty seven to get 578 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: to it, they just can't go to it too. And 579 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: it's the way there. It's the way BMW programs their vehicles. 580 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: And you know why I haven't done a lot of 581 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: BMW's of that generation. I've read the stories, the reports, 582 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: and they hear the horror shows of you know, this 583 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: is why a BMW Tech at a dealership has two bays, 584 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: one for programming and one for you know, other service 585 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: work or the repair work. Because it's not unusual to 586 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: bring a BMW into a dealer, hook up a scan 587 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: tool and leave it on for programming. And it takes 588 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: eight nine hours. It has to go through each individual 589 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: programmer to reach individual computer to get the job done. Um, 590 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's just the way they choose to run 591 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: their vehicles in their system. But they are correct, they 592 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: are being honest and that yeah, they have to go 593 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: through and tell the whichever computer they want to talk 594 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: to that, yeah, now there's a trailer hitch and I 595 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: don't know if it's so much for the hitch itself 596 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: as it is for the UH that there's break lights 597 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: and wiring to turn on the function to allow the 598 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: wiring harness that's gonna feed the trailer or whatever you're 599 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: telling to make those lights operate as well. Crazy, right, 600 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: it is crazy? I mean it really UH puts a 601 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: different spin on the value of it. Tell me that 602 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: you have to go to BMW to have that expertise done. No, 603 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: but you do have to go to someone that For example, 604 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: here in New Jersey, there's a few BMW specialists and 605 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: that's all they do. And the reason that's all they 606 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: do is because that that dealer level scan tool. Um 607 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: I hear, I hear rumors. I've heard stories of twenty 608 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: three thousand dollars and I know for a fact one 609 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: of the guys I know spent close to sixteen thousand dollars. 610 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: And then the annual updates run upwards of nine to 611 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: two grand a year, depending upon which software level they buy, 612 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: and you know how often they buy it and so on. 613 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: So the cost of subscription is expensive. But again, BMW, 614 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: you know at BMW stands for it, don't you, varying 615 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: money waster, And after owning one, you sort of understand 616 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: that it's uh, you know, it's, it's, it's it's but 617 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: they are rocket ships, and um, you know, it is 618 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: a self driving experience. I've heard rumors that if you 619 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: sell your BMW buy a Chevrolet is like getting a 620 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: raise at work because you can you can afford to 621 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: actually et groceries and go shopping and things like that. Now, 622 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: um so, but uh yeah, tough clot, I trust. So 623 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad you did too, sir. But no, seriousness. 624 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: Enjoy the car for what it is, you know, talk 625 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: to them. You may want to find a BMW specialist 626 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: in your neck of the woods just to get a 627 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: second opinion, because you know, kind of being held hostages. 628 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:28,239 Speaker 1: It's it's it's not a good advantage for you. Yeah, alright, sir, 629 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: enjoy the car. You're welcome. Take good. You're very welcome, sir. 630 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: Zero the car doctors coming back right after this welcome 631 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: back ran any of the car doctor Let's close things 632 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: out with an email. This one comes to us from 633 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: David in Baltimore, Maryland. Ron I've got a two thousand 634 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: five Ford Explore that I've had several alternators replaced because 635 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: the charging system light continues to be on and I've 636 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: had no luck, and every repair shop I goes to 637 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: just keep swapping alternators out. Can you tell me anything 638 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: about this particular problem? Is there any more diagnosis that 639 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: can be done? The vehicle does operate, but I'm tired 640 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: of looking at this light. David, Baltimore, Maryland, David two 641 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: thousand five, mid oh four five six. That generation Explore 642 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: Mercury Mountaineer all seem to suffer from this malady. It's 643 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: not an uncommon fault. And I can tell you this, 644 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: there are some very specific tests that need to be 645 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: done looking at wiring from the alternator to the vehicle 646 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: powertrain Control Moduler PCM, making sure proper signal is getting 647 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: to where it's going to. It's not an involved test. 648 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: It's actually quite simple and it can be diagnosed correctly 649 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: and confidently and under thirty minutes. It really can, because 650 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: it's just a matter of measuring voltage on several wires 651 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: to and from The PCM is looking for a voltage 652 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: signal change on one particular wire. It wants to see 653 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: it go from eight to nine vaults down to zero 654 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: so that it knows the alternator is charging, and when 655 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't, it turns on that check charging system error 656 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: message and it knows that there's an issue. My experience 657 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: has been that depending upon the quality of the alternator 658 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,879 Speaker 1: will dictate whether or not that light is successfully turned off. 659 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: And and and here's the argument for using a good 660 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: quality part right in that I've seen, and I'll say 661 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: it like this, I've yet to see an aftermarket alternator 662 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: that works for any length of time, if it works 663 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: at all, with this particular vehicle, because it just seems 664 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: like it's a very touchy situation. Whether Ford spected to 665 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 1: a particular point, no one's able to come up to 666 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: that spec, or whether the cores that are out there 667 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: are so beat up and old it just makes the 668 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: case for using in this case, use a motorcraft alternator. Listen, 669 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: motorcraft parts um are simply become a case of plug in. 670 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: They work, and you're down the road and you will 671 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: find that motorcraft parts meet and exceed factor respect because 672 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: they're designed for Ford vehicles. So take it back to 673 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: repair shop. If they tell you it's an alternator, tell 674 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 1: them to get out to motorcraft dot com, read the 675 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: works and possibly get that alternator changed with a motorcraft part. 676 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm moin Adian the card doctor. The mechanics aren't expensive, 677 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: they're priceless.
