1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Ronda. Where was I. It was the funniest thing. Somebody

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: had a problem with their Honda and they were all

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,079
Speaker 1: upset in my head explain, come a hand him in

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: and I just kind of floored him in. I left

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: the room and they were like, yeah, he's right, had one.

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: Never did again this time, next time before the car Doctor.

7
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: Just for giggles, when you turn the key on, but

8
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: the engines off, to the chick engine light light up? Uh?

9
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: I believe it? Does it better? You're looking now? I

10
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: assume you know I'm not seeing it lighting up. No, okay,

11
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: so now we know why the lights not on. Welcome

00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: doing the past twenty seven twenty eight years. I forget now,

41
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: it's see, I forget. I must really be all that

42
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: I'm getting forgetful. Um, well, I'm not that forgetful. I

43
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: trust me. Test me out, but give me a call.

44
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: Let's get over and talk to online one. Let's go

45
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: over and talk to Ruth in New Jersey. UM, some

46
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: interesting comments and a little bit of a dilemma. I

47
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: think we made some good choices here, Ruth. Welcome, Welcome.

48
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: How can I help you? Well, I don't know. It's

49
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: like closing the barn door after the horses out, because

50
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: I've already made my decision. But I uh like some

51
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: information maybe for things that I could look for. I

52
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: have a two thousand three Toyota XL six has a

53
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eight thousand aisles. It basically owes me

54
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: no money other than the standard maintenance work on it.

55
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, I popped the engine and

56
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: it was three thousand to repair it, and I've been

57
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: moling about. I did call last week, but I was

58
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: too late to get to reach you. And in the

59
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: meantime I start looking at different cars. Um, in my nineties,

60
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm driving, I'm still able to drive, hopefully for a

61
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: few a couple more years, and I don't want to

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: invest a lot of money into into a vehicle to

63
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: buy a new one. So I went ahead and bit

64
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: the bullet and told them to fix it. I don't

65
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: know if I made a mistake or not, but that's

66
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: my doma. I want to know what I should look

67
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: for when I get the car back. They did tell

68
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: me I have a six month I'll have a six

69
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: month warranty on it. Okay, I I think you did

70
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: the right call. Um, I you know, here's my concern.

71
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: And you know I always say that someone's coming out

72
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: of regardless of age, but of the age of the person,

73
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: you're coming out of a fifteen year old vehicle going

74
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: into something brand new. It is. It's almost overwhelming the

75
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: amount of electronics that are in these cars today. And

76
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, if there's a way around it, you know,

77
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: for three thousand dollars to get an engine and you're

78
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: back in the same car, and you know for where

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: you're going and what you're doing with it meets the budget. Um,

80
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: I think it makes sense. I really do. Does the

81
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: Do you have a regular mechanic that you go to

82
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: or is that the one doing the engine? Well, it's

83
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: actually it's the gas station. Of course, I know he

84
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: sent the the car out to be done by a

85
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, an engine builder, and so, but I trust

86
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: the the follow that I go to. He does my

87
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: maintenance work. And as I said, the car in the

88
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: sixteen years, Um, it owes me very little money. I

89
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: mean maybe a starter, I go, of course, battery maintenance thing.

90
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable in the car. The car looks good. I

91
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: even had it repainted a few years ago. It has

92
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: no denser things or upholstery and everything is still the

93
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: way it was. And uh, I just they did check

94
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: the on the carriage so make sure it wasn't rusty.

95
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: And I think it was a good decision just just

96
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: from my seat here from your description. Uh, you know, obviously,

97
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: so they're gonna rebuild the engine, They're gonna put an

98
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: engine in it. And then you know, obviously too, I

99
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: would think they're gonna put tuna parts in it, you know,

100
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: spark plugs and filters and things like that. That would

101
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: make sense. And if if they're not, ask them that question. Uh,

102
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, you may want to consider replacing the radiator

103
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: if it's original. I think they did say something about

104
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: the engine and the radiator. Okay, yeah, you know it's

105
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: fifteen years old. Um, you know, you've got to think

106
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: about some of what you did. A starter. You just said,

107
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: so you've you've you've done a starter, and you know,

108
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: the only other thing I could think of is but

109
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: if it's operating, okay, I'd leave it alone. Is the transmission.

110
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: Uh you know, if the trans is working properly, maybe

111
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: get its service to wallet's in there, as well as

112
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: some of the other drive line fluids, if there's any

113
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: that haven't been done in a while. But I I

114
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: think this is where the market's going to go because

115
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 1: I think the price of the new car and the

116
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: technology of the new car is just so overwhelming in

117
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: some cases. Uh, you know, it's it's it's going to become.

118
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: I think the industry is gonna get a little bit

119
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: reborn if um, if things continue to go in the

120
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: direction they're going. So I think you made a right call.

121
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: You know, I did look at used cars. We never

122
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: bought used cars. We always bought new cars. And my

123
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: husband's series was, I'm not buying somebody else's headaches. Well,

124
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: and I think he's right. You know what, You've already

125
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: got a used car. Yours just happens to need an engine,

126
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: but you've already got a used car. Uh, you know,

127
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: so it makes sense cars that it would be feasible

128
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: would be five to seven thousand dollars close to ten.

129
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to go for that money from maybe

130
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: a couple of more years of using right well and

131
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: and so to that point. Right, So, let's say let's

132
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: say it's seven thousand dollars for the used car that

133
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: fits you. You've already got a used car that fits you,

134
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: so you'll put an engine in it. Your mechanic did

135
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: it the guy you trust, the guy you know, you'll

136
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: do some of the other fluids, filters, belt hoses, et

137
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: cetera from the guy you know, from the guy you trust,

138
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: and you're in a car that you're familiar with, you

139
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: know the electronics, you know your way around it. Um,

140
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's it kind of fits. It makes sense,

141
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: it really does. I think you made the right call, Ruth.

142
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: You know it's obviously it's gonna come down to how

143
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: well is the repair being made. Um. I think that's

144
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: a huge part of this too. Um. You know, I

145
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: just don't last six months in one day and then yeah,

146
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: well and I you know, I think you know, if

147
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: you're going to your guy on a regular basis that

148
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, that's what the relationship is about, right, Uh,

149
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's to avoid that. You know, a

150
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: year and a half from now, maybe that's a different story.

151
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: But you know, hopefully this is a shop that he's

152
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: used or an engine builder that he's used. Um, you

153
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: know that that you know they've they've had good success

154
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: with Are they rebuilding the engine or they putting a

155
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: salad yard engine in it? Uh that I don't know. Uh.

156
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: When I first talked to him, uh he um, he said,

157
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: you know it was going to be a rebuilt engine.

158
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: So I'm assuming that it is okay, and just you know,

159
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: just to ask him that so that it's it's clear

160
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: communication upfront, right like any relationship, you just want to

161
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: know what's going on before you get into it. And

162
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: then obviously if there is a warranty, you want something

163
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: in writing. But I don't think that will be a

164
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: problem because you know this guy right now, you know,

165
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: So it's um, you know, it's it's it's always good

166
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: to have documentation up front and you know in a

167
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: folder somewhere, it'll it eliminates you know, words are cheap

168
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: and words are free, and so is riding them out

169
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: and it just it just clears up any confusion when

170
00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: the problem happens. If it happens right right. You leaves

171
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: my mind a bit. I thought I was, you know,

172
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: doing the wrong thing. I wasn't sure. I just know

173
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: it's it's listen. I so you know it's it's funny

174
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: because it's a timely call. The Ranger, my my little

175
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: nineties seven Ranger, the Ford Ranger pickup. I've had, oh

176
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: my gosh, since two thousand three. We bought it used

177
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: from a customer blew the rear. We've put a rear

178
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: in it, we put it, we put a bunch of

179
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: parts in it. But it just made economic sense because

180
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: we could fix it and keep it going. And it's

181
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the shop beater. We've got to

182
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: throw exhausted it. We've got to throw suspension parts in it.

183
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: We've got to drop off scrap. I mean, it's just

184
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: a great vehicle. I'm starting to get a whiff. And

185
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is the beginning of something

186
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: or not, but I'm starting to get a whiff of

187
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: coolant when I started. Now it's got two hundred eighteen

188
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: thousand miles on it. Um so you know, it's two

189
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: hundred eighteen it's twenty two years old. And I had

190
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: the same conversation in my head this morning. I said,

191
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, I know what I'm gonna do. If I

192
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: continue to get the smell, We're gonna we're gonna throw

193
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: a bottle of K seal in it, because it's a

194
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: great cooling system sealer, and it'll seal things up on

195
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: an older vehicle like that and probably eliminate the problem.

196
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: But if by some chance it doesn't and it became

197
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: a much more involved problem, which I don't think it will,

198
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: case'll usually work. So in my experience it's worked every time. Um,

199
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: but you know, do I put an engine in it?

200
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: And engine has got to be cheaper, and in a

201
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: little truck like that, if it was three four thousand

202
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: dollars and if I, uh, you know, put a clutch

203
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: in it, even if I put five six thousand dollars

204
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: into this to to shape it up and do some

205
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: exhaust work, it's still cheaper than a new little truck.

206
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: A new little truck. I was up at Ford last

207
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: week or the week before chasing parts for something. A

208
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: new Ford Ranger was forty three thousand dollars. And yeah,

209
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, for what to to dirty

210
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: it up? And and you know, beat on it a

211
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: little bit. So no, I think you made the right call.

212
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you. I'll tell you another place where

213
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: you save some money. Ruth that you're not even aware

214
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: of it, or maybe are is ask your insurance company

215
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: what the price difference is to ensure or twenty nineteen

216
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: Toyota versus your older Toyota the insurances you've had. You

217
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: just created a huge cost savings on insurance, all right,

218
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: I never told of that, right, you know, Plus the registration,

219
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: the registration for your Toyota is probably fifty to one

220
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: hundred dollars, and I can almost guarantee if the new

221
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: Toyota is a new car in general, hundred hundred and fifty,

222
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, maybe more granted it's not a king's ransom,

223
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: but you know, dollars here there. You know, things add up.

224
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: But I guarantee the insurance is cheaper on that fifteen

225
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: year old car than it is on a brand new one.

226
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: So you saved quite a bit of money there as well. Well.

227
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: I took the collision offers that I had five hundred

228
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: dollars deductible. They probably would say, any right, it's probably total.

229
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: It's probably total at that point. So but not. I

230
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: think you made the right call. I would, you know,

231
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: just to close it out. I would just call your

232
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: mechanic and ask him, hey, you know we're doing the engine,

233
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: is there anything else we should do that we're in

234
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: near proximity of um that you know, if it if

235
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: it goes in three months, it's going to be a problem.

236
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: Just you know, have the conversation and you've done a starter.

237
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: Uh you know, maybe do you want to do an alternator?

238
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: They're not common to go, but it is fifteen years

239
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: old and it's the price of the part at that point. Um,

240
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: you know, just just to try and save some money

241
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: down the road. But listen, if you're comfortable in the car,

242
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: you had it painted, I think you made the right choice.

243
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: I really do. Okay, thank you a lot. That tases

244
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: my mind. You know, even though I made the decision,

245
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: I still had this knowing feeling absolutely fun. That's what

246
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: we're here for, Ruth. Okay, thank you so much for

247
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: your helping. You gave me some confidence. You're very welcome, dear.

248
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: You have a good rest of the day. Um. Yeah,

249
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: that's listen, it's you know what it's it's sometimes the

250
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: car problem isn't how to fix it, but should you

251
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: fix it? And we're here for that too. And by

260
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: Fred in Florida. Fred's got a question regarding Ron. You're

261
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: always talking about diagnosing vacuum leaks using something called the

262
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: smoke machine and propane. Can you give us an example

263
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: of where the smoke machine did not work? I recently

264
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: had an issue with my Chevrolet where it was running

265
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: lean and sending Lean fold codes, and they did both

266
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: propane and a vacuum check and neither one ended up

267
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 1: showing anything, but they managed to fix the vehicle. He

268
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: doesn't He doesn't elaborate out. I'm just curious because I

269
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: want to know if what they did was right, or

270
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: I want to know how do you do a vacuum

271
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: and a propane leak check. Have you ever had it

272
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: not work? Um? Fair question Fred. As a matter of fact, Um,

273
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: recently at the shop we had an O six Ford

274
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: F one fifty Fred Florida F one fifty. Say that

275
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: three times fast. So we had an No. Six Ford

276
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: f one fifty versus an No six Fred f one

277
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: and it was setting a P zero one seven one,

278
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: P zero one seven four lean fuel codes. And you know,

279
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: if anybody is aware, if you're not aware, you know

280
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: when we see lean fuel codes, it's it's if if

281
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: base fuel mixture starts at zero forget forget the technical side,

282
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: it starts at zero widgets. It means that when the

283
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: vehicle exceeds adding up to more widgets than base fuel,

284
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: it will set a fault code. Simple conversation. We're not

285
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: gonna get super technical here. So yeah. One of the

286
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: things you'll go through is you'll you'll bring up certain

287
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: things on the scan tool, will look at fuel trim,

288
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: will look at two censor values. I always look at

289
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: a two centsor values. I don't know if they did,

290
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: because sometimes fuel trim may not change as quickly as

291
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: the O two centsor the two centsor is instantaneous. It's

292
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: like a quick bang and you'll you'll see the um,

293
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: the influx and the change in O two when it

294
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: picks up the propane. As far as a vacuum test,

295
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: vacuum is good, but you have to are doing a

296
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: smoke test to to look for vacuum leaks. You know,

297
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: that's good, but you have to realize most smoke machines

298
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: only operate on up to a pound maybe a little

299
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: bit over of pressure. So depending upon where that vacuum

300
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: leek is, it may not show itself. And I don't

301
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: ultimately trust vacuum you know, smoke machine. I'm sorry, I

302
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: don't ultimately trust smoke machine tests as the be all

303
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: and end all. What I did recently was with this

304
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: OH five. It was an AH five, oh six, f

305
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: one fifty I forget which with a V eight It

306
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: was setting lean fault codes and couldn't find it using

307
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: smoke Okay, found it using propane sniffing around, but it

308
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: was hard to zero in on. What happened was there

309
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: is a breather tube in the back of the engine

310
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: that feeds the purge valve assembly for evaporative emissions, and

311
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: the tube it was an older vehicle. It had three

312
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: hundred and forty thousand miles on it, and the tube

313
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: itself some of the some of the rubber components on

314
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: four vehicles. As they age, it starts to decay. It.

315
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: You almost have to wear gloves, which should we do

316
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: wear gloves as much as possible when you're handling it

317
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: because the black just kind of crumbles off and permeates

318
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: into your hand. What happened was the tube split on

319
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: the underside. You couldn't see it when the engine was running.

320
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: It would curl to split in, and when the engine

321
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: was off it would relax and go back to being

322
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: a sealed dose. It was really kind of crazy. So

323
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: I couldn't find it with smoke. Smoke wasn't an enough

324
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: pressure to push out, you know, and make the leak

325
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: leak that you would see the smoke coming out. But

326
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: I found it with propane by wanding underneath it and

327
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: watching the O two censor and seeing a slight change

328
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: in you know, oh two signal, which for the record,

329
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: UM finding the part was almost as hard as as

330
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: diagnosing it. Thank god for four parts dot com. True story.

331
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: UM got on the phone with my Ford dealer. He

332
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: couldn't identify which hose was. I went out to Ford

333
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: Parts dot Com, and you know, I learned the system.

334
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: You've got the four Parts dot Com. They give you

335
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: the base part number, which I was looking at the

336
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: same time with my Ford dealer, and he said, okay,

337
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: here's the base part number. Go to this page. I

338
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: type that in. It brought me to the page on

339
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: four Parts dot Com and then we were able to

340
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: bring up the diagram and I said, yeah, it's number

341
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: three and he said, right, you need um base part

342
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: number plus nineties six seventy six, which was the the

343
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: the enough of a part number that he said, yeah,

344
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: I can get you one of those. It's fifty seven

345
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: bucks et ceterac a sure and sure enough I had

346
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: it the next day. So without four Parts dot Com,

347
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: I don't think I would have been able to look

348
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: it up easily, and it would have probably been one

349
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: or two days of oops, wrong part. So thank god

350
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: for four Parts dot Com. But that's how we did it,

351
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: and we ended up fixing the truck, and um, you

352
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: know that's sometimes that's an example of how sometimes smoke

353
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: doesn't work, propane does. I'm not a nating the car doctor.

354
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: We're back right after this, he's gone, welcome back. We're

355
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: not any of the car doctor ready to drive everybody

356
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 1: home and help solve your car problem with five zero

357
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: nine zero. I was busy reading something, Mikey. It's it's okay, Um,

358
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: I want to point out that and that's what I

359
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: was reading. Um, we've been talking about this for a while. November.

Speaker 1: I believe it's November sixteen. Women. Let me trarn a

361
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: look at the paper that Mikey interrupted me from reading. Yeah,

00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: And it's fun. I like to get out and a

370
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: little bit of a car doctor road trip and see

371
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: hot rods from another part of the country and see

372
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: what's going on. But we'll be down there Virginia Beach

373
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 1: Convention Center, November sixteenth and seventeenth, you've got a hot

374
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: rod in the area, bring it by and uh stop

375
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: and yes, Mr Ray, you can't enter the escape. No.

376
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, you're going to the beach.

377
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: You're not taking like an eye on this trip with this,

378
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: Well it makes sense to me. Have you ever seen

379
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: have you ever seen Mike's knees? Um? Unfortunately I have

380
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: to sit here and work with him. So yeah, yeah,

381
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: you know it's it's um, you know, it's it's it's

382
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be November. Anyway, Tom, if you want

383
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: to come to Virginia Beach in November, I would probably

384
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: I should, I would probably pay to do that. But um, yeah, anyway,

385
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a business trip of you down there,

386
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: um doing whatever, doing a live remote. Um. Let's do

387
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: some email real quick, because I got a pile, I

388
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: got a stack in my hands. This comes to us

389
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 1: from Frank. Hey, Ron, would you recommend aluminized steel or

390
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: stainless steel for the exhaust on my four speed corvette?

391
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: You know, some of this is personal preference, some of

392
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: this is what's easier to work with. You know, you're

393
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: not driving, and again, what part of the country, how

394
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: much are you driving? This car. Is this gonna be

395
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: out in all kinds of crazy weather? Um? I doubt it. Uh.

396
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: You know, I kind of like the illuminized pipe. If

397
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: I have to modify it, bend it, move it twisted,

398
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: tweak it, take it apart. I find the illuminized pipe

399
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: to be a little bit easier to work with. Stainless

400
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: steel is it's brittle, Um, it's it's hard to manipulate

401
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: if you have to. It's very unforgiving if you have

402
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: to make any changes U um. And you know what,

403
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: the illuminized stuff I think looks better. I think the

404
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: standless steel is just a little too shiny and we

405
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: expect too much out of it. May I put illuminized

406
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: on it, but again it's a personal preference. Ron. This

407
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: comes to us from Greg. What Ron? What's the name

408
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: of the alternator company you mentioned? A couple of weeks ago,

409
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: I was driving and I could not make a note

410
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: thanks to from Greg and the to a seven area

411
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: code wherever that is power Master. I believe it's who

412
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: I was talking about. I forget exactly why we were

413
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: talking about. Somebody had called in with an alternator charging

414
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: problem on a late model Chevrolet. If I recall correctly,

415
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: and UM they were looking for an alternator replacement, and

416
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 1: it was a little bit of a hot rob that's right.

417
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: They had put a V eight into an S ten

418
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: Blazer and he was looking for a hot rodd. He

419
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: wanted a true one wire alternator for that. I think

420
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: it was an early nineties or late eighties UM Chevy

421
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: S ten power Master powermaster dot Com I believe it

422
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: as you can just google power Master and UM go

423
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: out there. They've got all sorts of choices. Very nice website,

424
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: very nice bunch of people. UM. I met the owner

425
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: visa v telephone probably ten years ago. John, I believe

426
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: his name is Um. I haven't talked to him since then.

427
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: I was on the forums and I was in the

428
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: process of putting Black two together and I had a

429
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: problem with the starter that I had gotten from a

430
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: company by the name of Tilton, and they really didn't

431
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: want to know anything. It was my problem it, you know,

432
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: it's the way it was. It wasn't um. They weren't

433
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 1: explaining the way to shim it properly. There was just

434
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: some missing piece of information. Uh. John read the post

435
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: on the forum. I believe it was called me up

436
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: sent me a starter, which, by the way, John, if

437
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: you ever get this message, you never did send me

438
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: a bill for the starter, so I'm more than glad

439
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: to pay it if you'd ever sent me a bill.

440
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: But um, you know, just a super nice guy, says listen.

441
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: I just want to see somebody solve a problem. A

442
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: real hot rodder at heart, just trying to take care

443
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: of people. So um powermaster dot com. Uh, this one

444
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: comes to us from Jim Ron. I've got he's got

445
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: the He's got the answer here too. I've got four

446
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: escape one point sixty two thousand miles service engine soon

447
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: eliminates on the dash. I looked into the owners man

448
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: will see what it means if they're several drive cycles force.

449
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: So the light turned off. After a month or so

450
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: of limited driving, the light came on again. The air

451
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: filter is new and I had an oil and filter

452
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: changed one in nineteen January of nineteen. Have only driven

453
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: about a thousand miles or so since. Someone suggested that

454
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: maybe the shop that did the oil change didn't reset

455
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: the oil change do light, so that I did that

456
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: in the light went out. I haven't driven much then.

457
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: See if the light stays off, well, let's back up.

458
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: A second service engine soon symbol has absolutely nothing to

459
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: do with an oil change on this or any other car.

460
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: A check engine line, a service engine soon light has

461
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: nothing to do with maintenance. It's always going to be

462
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: emissions related. That's the way the law is written, the

463
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: Clean Air Act. That's the way it's written. That's the

464
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: way it's gonna be unless they change the law just

465
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: for curiosity. Jim continues, I scanned the vehicle for codes,

466
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: and code B seven came up. Cooling bypass solenoid valve

467
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: short or a coop coolant bypass valve solenoid circuit issue.

468
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm surprised I got a code since the light wasn't on.

469
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: I've looked online in this valson and it appears to

470
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: be an issue with the Escapes built in thirteen, But

471
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: mine was built in fourteen, so apparently the fourteen Escapes

472
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: have the same problem. My question to you is why

473
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: the resetting the oil chained light caused the service engine

474
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: light to go off and will it remain often. Also,

475
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: since my escape list in five years old, only thirty

476
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: two thousand miles should have the cooling bypass valve be

477
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: covered under warranty. Well, let's see, you're writing this to

478
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: me in nineteen. It's a thirteen vehicle fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,

479
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: eighteen cars out by time. Um, it's it's out by time.

480
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: It's six going on seven years old. Uh, this happened

481
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: in August, has happened two weeks ago. Um, so I

482
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: think it's out by that? Why the oil chained light

483
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: went off from resetting service engine soon I'm gonna say

484
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: coincidence because I know of no reason why resetting oil

485
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: light on that vehicle as a matter of holding your

486
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: foot on the break and the gas pedal to the

487
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,959
Speaker 1: floor at the same time with the with the ignition

488
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: switched on. Um or is it? I'm sorry, just foot

489
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: on the brake pedal while it goes into reset. But

490
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: I see no connection between that and the service engine

491
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: soon light. I think that's just the fluke. The answer

492
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: was Ronnie, enjoy your show up all your free help

493
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: from Jim. I researched online found four t s B

494
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: sixteen days double O fifty two for the escaped with

495
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: the one six built in thirteen with the cool and

496
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: bypass val failure. I took my fifteen escape. Did it

497
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: change time again? No, he's right. Okay, now, I'm sorry

498
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: he got me confused on years. There is a fifteen escape,

499
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: so this is or it is only five years old,

500
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: so technically it should be covered under warranty. I took

501
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: my fifteen escape to the dealership, showed them the t

502
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: s B. I told them I didn't think it was

503
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: a coincidence that my escape built. Well whatever, Jim, they

504
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: don't care. UM. I chatted with the foreign rep explained

505
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 1: the situation. They understood my point but could not help

506
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: me and tell me to make sure I keep the receipting.

507
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: Ford decided to do a recall. The total repair cost

508
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: to me, it was under seventy dollars. So I'm guessing

509
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: it's out by it's out by warranty, it's out by

510
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: time and mileage. But I'm glad to hear it was resolved.

511
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: I still think the Escapes are a good little vehicle, um,

512
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: but I'm glad to hear that you resolved it. From

513
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: Wally in Iowa, I'm not sure why he wrote this email. Well.

514
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: Using the Oudo DYM features short in the life of

515
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: the headlights due to constantly changing between high and low beam.

516
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: In particular, asking about hid lights Waally in Iowa. Maybe

517
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: does it matter? Are you gonna stop using hid lights

518
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: on a vehicle with an AUTODYMN feature? UM? I guess

519
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: we would have to take a conclusive survey and see

520
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: how many vehicles are prematurely going through bulbs. I will

521
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: tell you this, I think headlight bulbs in general last

522
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: much longer than they have in the past. UM. I

523
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: think it's also very important that if you replace headlight

524
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: bulbs that you're using a good quality bulb, that you're

525
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: using something from a good manufacturer. But I would have

526
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: to say that if we're talking about a production vehicle

527
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: production hi d S production AUTODYM feature, No, I don't

528
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: think it does, Wally, because I think if there were

529
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: going to be any electrical shortcomings the surge of light

530
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: bulb on and off, I would think the engineer puts

531
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 1: some type of a suppressor or um a rebound capacitor

532
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: in there so that there's not a spike out to

533
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: the lights when they're turned on off. Like and aftermarket

534
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: situation where somebody wired something in. I'd have to sit

535
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: down and look at a wiring diagram. But again, why

536
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: when the ball burns out will change it? It It wouldn't

537
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: prevent you from using the dum feature anyway. But I

538
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: try to answer all my questions, all my emails running

539
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: in of the car doctor. Here eight five zero nine zero.

540
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: We're back right after this. Welcome back running into the

541
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: car doctor. Let's go over, gonna talk to Todd in Iowa.

542
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: Oh for jeep Liberty. Todd, Welcome to the car doctor, sir,

543
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: How can I help? Yes, sir, I had a question

544
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: about my uh deep Liberty, okay um, I wasn't been

545
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: a Shota and the power string when it got it

546
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: back home and it put up new rock companion in it,

547
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: put uh new power stern pump on it. But you

548
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: know it still ain't never been riding like when I

549
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: crank it up, I mean I got good power stern.

550
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: I can go down the road seventy seventy five man

551
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: fit the mouth and you know, feel like I don't

552
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 1: have any power staring? I don't. And and is it

553
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: no power steering assist in either direction? Todd? Or is

554
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: it one direction over the other? It's been both directions.

555
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: You know. It's it's harder to turn it than the truth.

556
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: All right, Have you gone back and talked to them

557
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: about it. Oh, actually I dropped it off last week

558
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: and they haven't got to it yet. But I was

559
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: had from all the work doing to it too. You know,

560
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: ask them what's the possibility If you talk to them

561
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: during the week, ask them, what's the possibility does this

562
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: vehicle sit at all? Now? Actually the vehicles days on

563
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: the role. I use it that as I use it

564
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: as a toe call while when I'm delivering trump Okay,

565
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: got you? So is it out in all kinds of

566
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: crummy weather? The worst weather has been in this Minnesota

567
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: Wisconsin weather. Um higher mile, older vehicle? Is there is

568
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: there any rusting? You know? And what I'm trying to

569
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: get at is there's a flex coupling. There's a flex

570
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: joint down at the lower end of the steering column

571
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: that that sits above the rack that's known to rust,

572
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: that's known to bind up and fail as it gets older.

573
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: And I've seen them, uh, you know, barring that this

574
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: is not a straight mechanical problem power steering component related

575
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: problem to something they changed, you know, a bad new pomp,

576
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: a bad new rack, which is possible right. New means

577
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: never ever worked. New doesn't mean it's it's good. It

578
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: just means it hasn't been field tested yet. Um, you know,

579
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: as we like to think. But the coupling down at

580
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: the base on top of the steering column, and I

581
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: believe this has this in O four three four or

582
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: five six had them Um if I remember right that

583
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,959
Speaker 1: the rag joint, the coupling would rust, and what they

584
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: could try to do is just soaked the coupling with

585
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: some Now watch what I say, not a lubricating oil,

586
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: but a rust penetrating oil, some thing, you know, something

587
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: like a PB blaster that will get down into the

588
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: rust and work its way in and start to break

589
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: the rust down. And then after you know, letting it

590
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: sit there, um a day or two, then I'd start

591
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: to hit it with a lubricant because my belief system

592
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: is the rustbuster will open up the passageways and then

593
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,479
Speaker 1: I'll put the lubrican on, and then the lubrican will

594
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: work its way into lubricate the components. And and you know,

595
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: if the joint has any sort of binding in it,

596
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: if all of a sudden it gets better, at least

597
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: we know what part has to be changed, If that

598
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: makes any sense to you, short of it being a

599
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: bad new component, That's where I would I would tend

600
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: to look okay because I had the racking thing and

601
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: replacing the take it back and they said that was

602
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: bad and they put an no one on And now

603
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: I took it somewhere else and had another because I

604
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: gotta and I gotta. I gotta tell you you gotta watch.

605
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: Power steering racks and break calipers are probably the two

606
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: biggest problem components in the automotive aftermarket right now in

607
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: terms of getting good replacement parts. They just they just

608
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: don't seem to exist. So just ask them, Hey, who's

609
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: the rebuilder and what's the warrantine? Is it possible? And

610
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, if they think it's a rack just for giggles,

611
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: you might be better off with something finding something used.

612
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: And I don't say this often, but you might be

613
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: better off finding something used out of a salvage yard

614
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: um with lower miles on it. Or you might be

615
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: better off if one's still available from Chrysler, biting the

616
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: bullet and paying the extra freight, because at least you

617
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: know what will work and you're not without your vehicle

618
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: for an extended period of time. You know, Yeah, I

619
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: think that's what I was head in mind this time.

620
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: If they told me it was direct. How was just

621
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: gonna tell and put original equipment on there and you'll

622
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: pay the difference. And that's a reasonable solution. But don't overlook,

623
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: don't overlook that steering coupling. Brother, I've I've seen more

624
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,239
Speaker 1: than a few of those be intermittent. I've seen more

625
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: than a few of those be a problem. And if

626
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 1: it is, I don't want to spend more money than

627
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 1: you have to to solve some then it's in an

628
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: entirely different area. All right, Yeah, yeah, I really don't

629
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 1: want to spend a lot. I put all like full

630
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: grand in it back in January. I replaced lower control up,

631
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: all that up and you know, so yep, yep, I

632
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: get it. I get it. So all right, kid off,

633
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: But that's how we would do it. You have yourself

634
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: a good rest of the weekend, all right, yes, or

635
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: on YouTube, and thanks for the information. You're very welcome.

636
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. Yeah, it's you know, I gotta diagnosed, diagnosed, diagnosed.

637
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: That's the three rules. So zero zero the car doctors,

638
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: coming right back, don't go away, welcome back. On the

639
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: end of the car doctor. Let's go down to Florida

640
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: and talk to chuck chuck. Oh to Ford Ranger, how

641
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: can I help? Yes, Uh, the ignition when I turned

642
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: it on, it's very difficult to get it all the

643
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: way over to where it will start. Sometimes it's intermittent.

644
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: And also the shift level is very difficult to get

645
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: back and forth. And it lubricated. They took the stim

646
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: We love the little pini in there, but that wasn't

647
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: a problem. Automatic or automatic or stick chuck automatic? Automatic

648
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: and okay, so let's deal with the first problem first.

649
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,719
Speaker 1: My first question is did these two problems come about

650
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: at the same time or was it one then the

651
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: other time? Same time? So let's fix the easier one. Um,

652
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: if they disconnect the shift linkage the cable at the

653
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: base of the column, is the shift there's still difficult

654
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: to move? They didn't do that. Okay, right, let's let's

655
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: let's eliminate half the circuit. If if the shift there

656
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: is still hard to move with the cable disconnected and

657
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: it's just a simple connection at the base of the column,

658
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: then we know the faults in the column. If the

659
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: key is difficult to turn, is the key super Warren?

660
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: How badly worn is the key? Well? Sometimes have to

661
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: stick in me in there and get some twist to it.

662
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: My Arthur, it's is a little Have you tried another key?

663
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: Do you have another key that you can use instead

664
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: of the one you're using? Yes? I do. I haven't

665
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: tried that all right? Um, you know if another key

666
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: makes a difference, then look at your key? Is your

667
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: key very worn? How badly warren is your key? You know,

668
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: the the issue becomes where's the fault? Is it in

669
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: the column itself? Or is it you know, is the

670
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: shifter problem because the cable is binding up internally, or

671
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: maybe there's a problem down at the transshift linkage and

672
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: that's separate from the column. And as far as the key,

673
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: is the key so badly worn that it's affecting the

674
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: lock tumblers? You know, it seems like a very clear

675
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: cut problem if the if the issue ends up being

676
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: inside the column. I know there are more than a

677
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: few companies out there, because you'll never find parts, uh

678
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: for it from the manufacturer anymore. It's it's it's it's older,

679
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: it's seventeen years old. But there are companies out there

680
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: rebuilding these sports steering columns for these particular problems. There

681
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: are machines inside that we're out. There are mechanisms that

682
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: wear out, So let's just decide and try and find

683
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: out does a key change it using a different key,

684
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: does disconnecting the shift cable from the bottom of it

685
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: make it any difference? And then you can kind of

686
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: go from there. Call me if you need more info.

687
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm running any of the car doctor. The mechanics aren't expensive,

688
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: they're placeless. See you
