1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Ron an Aian for the folks that say, ah, it's

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 1: an old car, it's easy to fix.

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to get parts for it first.

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Because a lot of the stuff comes in from China,

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff gets replicated, and a lot

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: of the stuff is junk. And now I'm finding even

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: the domestic stuff.

8
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: It's a problem. Two old tons of chrome and steel.

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: The man's best friend is his automobile.

10
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: The car Doctor.

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: There's a rattle in the back end of the car,

12
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 3: and it sounds like a large metal carbon can begin rattled.

13
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: I would do that.

14
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 1: I would get your hands on super bulletin on nine

15
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: Desh sixty six, Dash sixteen. What happened was the backshell

16
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: of the muffler wasn't assembled properly.

17
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 4: Welcome to the radio home of ron Ananian, the Car Doctor.

18
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 4: Since nineteen ninety one. This is where car owners the

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 4: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

20
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 4: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

21
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 4: the phone and call in the garage doors are open.

22
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: I am here to take your call at eighty five

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: five five six oh ninety nine.

24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 5: Hundred and naw pe.

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: Running sometimes in auto repair, you've got to think outside

26
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: the box. Most days. Actually, you never know where that

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: box is. You don't know what the perimeter is, you

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: don't know where that other side is that you have

29
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: to go to. And I guess that's what makes you

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: want to do it, right, I mean, that's part of it.

31
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: You know, find something you like doing. You'll never work

32
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: a day in your life. We had a shop around

33
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: the corner from us this week. They have a fleet

34
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: account where they work on twenty twenty one Nissan Rogues

35
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: model year twenty one Nissan Rogues and they've got like

36
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: fifty of them, so they'll, you know, they service them,

37
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: they do what they have to do. And some of

38
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: them have higher mileage on them than others. And one

39
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: of them had about two hundred thousand miles on it

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: and it blew the engine this week. It failed and

41
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: the problem was they had just put brand new tires

42
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: on it two weeks prior. They had another twenty one

43
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: Nissan Roge, same car, same fleet, that with obviously lesser

44
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 1: miles and it didn't matter the mile as the engine

45
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: still worked, but it needed tires. So it was a

46
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: simple request, very simple. The owner of the fleet company said, hey,

47
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: can you take the tires and wheels off of one

48
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: and put it on the other. Just do a simple

49
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: wheel swap. Everything was identical. And you know, my guy

50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: at the other shop, my friend chuck, he said, yeah,

51
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: we can do that. So the problem was, as you

52
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: might have guessed, that the tire pressure sensors from one

53
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: vehicle to the other don't match. There's different unique numbers

54
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: to each TPMs sensor that are programmed.

55
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 3: To the vehicle.

56
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: So there was going to be some TPMs tire pressure

57
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: monitoring programming required. And you know, they figured, hey, how

58
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: hard can it be. You know, we should be able

59
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: to last right through this not a problem, and they couldn't.

60
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: And the reason they couldn't was because there's a security

61
00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: protocol on model year twenty and up Nissans where they're

62
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: not allowing anything but a factory level scan tool to

63
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: get in that has security access clearance. This is a problem.

64
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: This is this is creating a monopoly. I'm going to

65
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: call it what it is. This is creating an issue

66
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: for consumers. The concern here is that after market shops

67
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: model year twenty and up. I know of no way,

68
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: well I do know of a way to get in

69
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell you what we did. But

70
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: for the you know, for the average shop that doesn't

71
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 1: have what I'm going to talk to you about, they're

72
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: out of luck. They've they've got no way to accomplish this.

73
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: And that's a problem. That's a monopoly, and you know

74
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: that's going to be an issue going forward because look

75
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: how easily Nissan has locked everybody out but Nissan dealers.

76
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: If you don't have security access, no scan tool in

77
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: the marketplace other than an Opus IVS, we'll get into

78
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: that system and the way Opus does it because and

79
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: I knew this was, you know, and when they called

80
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: me up in their cry for help, I said, yeah,

81
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: bring it over, we'll figure something out. I got out

82
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: my OPIS, my OPIS scan tool, my Opus IVS plugged in,

83
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: and I was right. My base OPIS with the software

84
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: that comes in it from them. Wouldn't access it because

85
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't have security protocol clearance right. They needs to

86
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: see the license to authenticate it, which isn't available yet.

87
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: I went out to auto auth, who is the licensing body,

88
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: licensing body for North America. They handle our Chrysler authentication

89
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: and they don't have access or the ability to provide

90
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: for us for Nissan. Yet I was told Yet, I

91
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: was told it's in the works, but North America is

92
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: out of luck right now. So I called up Opus.

93
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: I called up tech support and I said, hey, I've

94
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: got this twenty one Nissan Rogue. And the guy on

95
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 1: tech support was great, He's listening very feversly, and I said,

96
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: I need you to install see, because this is what

97
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: Opus can do, and Opus is the only scan tool

98
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: in the market that I know that and do this.

99
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: Opus can install download over the over the computer network

100
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: dealer level software. So now you're looking at the factory

101
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: scan tool and I explained it to him. I said,

102
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: I need you to install the factory scan tool in

103
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: my Opus so that I can then learn the tire

104
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: pressure monitoring system and I can program the codes in.

105
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: And he you know, I could hear his ears kind

106
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: of kick to the side, like you want me to do?

107
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: What?

108
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: To do?

109
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 3: What?

110
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: For tires?

111
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: And I explained, I said, this is the only way

112
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: you can get into the system that I'm aware of,

113
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: and I was right. They logged in, they installed the

114
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: Nissan factory software. So now we were looking at the

115
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: same tool that the dealer has. We put the vehicle

116
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: in learn mode, and I think the guy from tech

117
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 1: support was kind of watching the show too. I'm not sure.

118
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who was learning from who It was

119
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: going both ways. It was kind of funny late in

120
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: the day on Thursday this week, and we put the

121
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: vehicle in learn mode and then we walked around using

122
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 1: our regular shop TPMs tool to wake up each individual's sensor,

123
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: because the way Nissan learns their tire pressure sensor position is,

124
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, they will put the vehicle in learn mode

125
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: using a scan tool and then they wake up each sensor,

126
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: and as each sensor wakes up, the body module records okay,

127
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: the left front has serial number one, two, three, four five,

128
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: the right front has eight nine, ten, eleven, twelve, the

129
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: right rear has fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, and so on,

130
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: and we were able to use But look at the technology, right,

131
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: Look at how complicated it's gotten just for simple tire

132
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 1: pressure coding. And I don't I haven't heard anybody talking

133
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: about this. I called a couple of the scan tool

134
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: manufacturers and some of the tire pressure scan tool manufacturers

135
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: as well, because tire pressure systems have their own scan

136
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: tool now, and everybody was in shock. Nobody had heard

137
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: of this except for one actually, thirty one Inc. The

138
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: guys over at thirty one Inc. Were aware of it,

139
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: and they knew that there was something in the works.

140
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: They didn't realize it had manifested itself into the marketplace

141
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: at this point so predominantly.

142
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: And you know the hoops that we have to jump through.

143
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: And I said to myself, what happens to that tire shop,

144
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: because twenty and twenty one Nissan rogues surely need tires

145
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: buy now. So you know, for that poor unsuspecting guy

146
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: or girl out there working in a tire shop that

147
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, puts a tire on and by accident, I

148
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: mean it happens they break a tire pressure sensor or

149
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: you know what if the sensor goes bad. The only

150
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: place you're going to the dealer. That is the only

151
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 1: place right now in the market that has the ability

152
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: to do that unless they've got an opus, unless they've

153
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: got the ability to do an opus, and you know,

154
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: to do it that way. So just I wanted to

155
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: tell you this story because I thought, you know, I

156
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: don't like it when you the consumer and you the

157
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: shop that's out there that's listening, gets boxed into a corner.

158
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: And I want to try and tell you the pitfalls

159
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: as I see him before it happens. But this is

160
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: a problem now. The nearest available release date, i'm told

161
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: is the fall, So we may not see TPMs access

162
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: to Nissans or bigger problem scan tool access for data

163
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: to Nissans for at least another five or six months.

164
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: So you know, be cautious what you work on, Be

165
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: cautious what you choose to deal with, because you may

166
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: find yourself boxed in a corner. Just ugly, just ugly.

167
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: It's just it's just downright silly. You know, they're limiting

168
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: the market, and they're limiting where people can go get cars,

169
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: and I think sooner or later that comes back to

170
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: bite you. And I think that they've I think they

171
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. So Nissan is doing some strange things,

172
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: and right now it's just very important. See let me

173
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: back up a minute. You know what Chrysler did, if

174
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: you remember back around model year fifteen sixteen, somebody hacked

175
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: the Jeep Grand Cherokee and took over and controlled that

176
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: vehicle and ran everything and actually drove the vehicle, they

177
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: took over operation from the person driving it. And the

178
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: concern was chryslers could be hacked, just like any other

179
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: computer gets hacked. So they came up with a procedure

180
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: that requires you to Now, when you plug in a

181
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: scan tool, anybody's scan tool, the scan tool goes up

182
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: to the cloud via the Internet. It looks for its

183
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: serial number or a login through a website called auto

184
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: off a uto offautauto auth dot com. And as long

185
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: as the license for that scan tool I'm sorry, the

186
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: serial number for that scan tool is found licensed through

187
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: auto auth, they will then allow it to come back

188
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: down the other side of the Internet, go to the

189
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: car Exchange security protocols and allow the scan toe will

190
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: to log in so it can be used to diagnose.

191
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: Of course, that's a fifty dollars a year licensing fee,

192
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: so you know, it doesn't it doesn't happen for free,

193
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: and it doesn't happen by magic, you know. And now

194
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: you're going to see Nissan do it, and I'm willing

195
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: to bet going forward, you're going to see a lot

196
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: of car companies do it where they require you know,

197
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: that licensing to happen on many fronts so you the

198
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: consumer that's out there today, you can expect the cost

199
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: of diagnose go up because it's only going to increase

200
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: the operating cost of the repair shop, and it's going

201
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: to get passed on so they can stay in business

202
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: and be there to try and take care of you. So,

203
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: but something as simple as tire pressure monitoring, you know,

204
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: it just gets awful, convoluted and twisted, even in the

205
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: best of time. So but Opus IVS really did the job.

206
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: And if you haven't looked at one yet, if you're

207
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: a repair shop out there, by all means you should,

208
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: because that's the future.

209
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: It's here now.

210
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: Eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero.

211
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: I'm running any of the Car Doctor. I'll be back

212
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: right after this. Don't go away.

213
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: Time.

214
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: Ride it on the wall so you don't forget to

215
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: call for car advice. Done right? Eight five five five

216
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: six zero nine nine zero zero. Now back to raw.

217
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: Hey, let's take a ride to Connecticut and talk to

218
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: Dan with his fifteen grand caravan.

219
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 6: Dan.

220
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Car Doctor, sir. How can I help?

221
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 6: Hey? Ron, how you doing good?

222
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: What's going on?

223
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 6: I listened every week on the podcast. I got a

224
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 6: little leak. I noticed it in my driveway. You know,

225
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 6: I noticed it more when the rain hit. It looked

226
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 6: like a rainbow. But I got under there and took

227
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 6: a look. To me, it looks like it's coming behind.

228
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 6: There's a behind the transmission pan. There's some kind of

229
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 6: a little bit above it. There's a housing with a gasket. Okay,

230
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 6: does that make sense? I mean I never even changed

231
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 6: the oil on this car. I don't even know where

232
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 6: the plug is. Yeah, but it's definitely oil, it's not

233
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 6: transmission fluid.

234
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: Okay, So so why don't we do this before we

235
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: before we assume and fall into that trap.

236
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: You're you're a.

237
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: Little mechanically inclined. Do in You're you're mechanically handy and stuch.

238
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: You don't mind crawling under the car changing the oil

239
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: looking at things like that?

240
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 6: No, no, I I well, I'm getting a little older now.

241
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 6: I used to do all my own stuff.

242
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: Okay, So I.

243
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 6: Never even changed the oil on this van.

244
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, why don't we?

245
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: Why don't we add some die pick one engine oil

246
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: or transfluid. I vote engine oil. If that's where you

247
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: think it is, you gotta do you have it? Do

248
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: you have a local AutoZone nearby? Yeah, stop at an AutoZone.

249
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Tell them you want some oil dye additive for the

250
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: engine oil. All right, okay, And what you're gonna do

251
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: is you're gonna add die to the engine crank case

252
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: in the same place that you would put the engine oil.

253
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 1: All right, Just take the pill cap off and just

254
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: pour the dye in and drive it. Put a couple

255
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: of miles on it, and then you know you'll need

256
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: some glasses in a black light. They probably sell the kid,

257
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: it's probably cheap enough. Or you can take it to

258
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: your local mechanic if he's got a dye kit. Once

259
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: you add the dye and let him look at it

260
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: and they'll be able to see. Because this way you're

261
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: saving a step, right, you know, you're you're adding, you're

262
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: adding the dye and you can drive it, you know,

263
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: put two three hundred miles on it, and let's see

264
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: where it goes. Now, you want to get under there

265
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: while you're at AutoZone and pick up some spray solvent

266
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: or some brake clean and very carefully wash off where

267
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: the oil is so at least way it's it's a

268
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: fresh start, so to speak.

269
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: And you know, then add the dye that you.

270
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: Get there and you know, then go for a ride

271
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: this way, when you take it into your mechanic, it's

272
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: a clean area, and then he can clearly see. Now

273
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: if you don't see any dye, right, if there's no

274
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: signs of engine you know, if there's no signs of

275
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: fluorescence in whatever the fluid is, guess what, it's not

276
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: engine oil. It's transfluid, because that's that's the only other

277
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: thing down there, right.

278
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know anything about the bottom of this engine.

279
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 6: Would't the trans be red though?

280
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: Trans should be red?

281
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: However, you know, don't judge it by color because the

282
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: vehicle is nine years old. How many miles are on it? Right,

283
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: how many miles are on it?

284
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 6: Ninety?

285
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: Right? So you ever see trans? You ever see trans

286
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 2: fluid turned black? Right?

287
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 3: So?

288
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 6: I actually I actually checked the trans and the oil

289
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 6: last week and the trans was all red. Okay, The

290
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 6: oil was not low at all. The oil was good,

291
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 6: all right.

292
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: Well, before we start changing parts or loosening, I mean,

293
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: obviously you can check this cover and see if it's loose,

294
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, you see if the bolts are loose.

295
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: But if not, you know, some oil dye and an

296
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: additive and.

297
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: It's just a great place to start at least, then

298
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: you've got some clear cut answers and you're diagnosing something

299
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: before you start twisting bolts and changing something that may

300
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: not need to be changed.

301
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 6: That cover ron and it has a black gasket and

302
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 6: you could actually see one portion of the gasket bulgar.

303
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: What is that?

304
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 6: That the oil filter housing or I'm.

305
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: Trying to picture it in my mind, John, Which engine

306
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 2: is this?

307
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 6: Dan? Dan? The three point six three point six, Well.

308
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: The three point six isn't the oil filter housing up top?

309
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: Isn't the oil filter on top?

310
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 3: Yes?

311
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 6: Okay, I know where the transmission pan is, all right,

312
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 6: So you're seeing right behind it, right, So you're seeing

313
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 6: the leaked down bottom right.

314
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: Right.

315
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 6: It's right behind the transmission pan, a little bit above it. Okay,

316
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 6: one rounds.

317
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: When why don't we well, why don't we do this?

318
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: Have you looked at the oil filter housing up top.

319
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 6: Just a little bit? I mean I saw a little

320
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 6: bit of oil there, but not much at all.

321
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: Well, the fact that you're seeing oil there because that

322
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: oil hasn't that galley has a drain port at the

323
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: back of the engine. So if there's oil leaking out

324
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: of that oil filter housing, which there probably is. Trust me,

325
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: They they that's built into the car from the day

326
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: they designed that. They just didn't tell you when you

327
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: bought it that it's gonna leak oil out of that

328
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: filter housing, and it's gonna leak out the back, and

329
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna run down and it's gonna look like the

330
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: leak is from the bottom, but it's really from the top.

331
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, this this is right, you know on the

332
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 6: driver's side.

333
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand, Yeah, okay, I understand, all right.

334
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: But just don't don't don't rule out that that oil

335
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: filter housing is leaking and does that need to be replaced.

336
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: So let's go.

337
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: Back when you when you go to AutoZone, ask them

338
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: about replacement oil filter housings for that vehicle, and you'll

339
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: find that they'll probably they'll probably bring up the fact

340
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: that Dorman Company, by the name of Dormandorman Products dot Com.

341
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: Dorman makes an aluminum oil filter housing for that vehicle.

342
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: That that filter housing is a big problem. Danny, all right,

343
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 1: So don't don't over let's not overlook the possibility that

344
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: that's leaking too, or that's leaking, or that's leaking too.

345
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 2: That you've got two.

346
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: Leaks, you know, with this gasket that you see bulging.

347
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: But you know, oil runs downhill just like water. So

348
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: let's you know, if we're going to add a die

349
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: and start looking, or if we want to start somewhere,

350
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: if that oil filter housing is leaking, I would fix

351
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: that first or add the die, whichever way you want

352
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: to go. You got a couple of options here. You've

353
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 1: got a bunch of things going on. I would probably

354
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: add the dye. Thinking about it that way, at least

355
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: you get an overall picture of what if anything else

356
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: is leaking. Look at the top, look at the bottom,

357
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: and you can kind of work your way from there

358
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: and the die.

359
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 2: The die kits are cheap. The dye kits are under

360
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: twenty bucks.

361
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, thank you for the help.

362
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: You're very welcome, sir. If you need more, you know

363
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: where to find me. All right, very welcome. Big well,

364

Speaker 1: Hey five five five six zero nine nine zero zero. Yeah,

365
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: let's you know there's a lot there. Let's not jump

366
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: ahead of ourselves. You know, Gus gets bulged. Trust me,

367
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: Those oil filter housings leak like like the sun's gonna

368
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: come up tomorrow. A five five five six zero nine

369

Speaker 1: nine zero zero, run Ning the Car Doctor.

370
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 7: I'm back right after this.

371
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: Welcome back Ronning the Car Doctor.

00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: phone number. Give us a call, leave a message. Executive

376
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: Producer in chief cook and bottle washer Tom Ray will

377
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: give you a call back, and you know we'll put

378
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: you in the next live broadcast. So let's let's wander

379
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: over to Let's go to John and Illinois twelve GMC terrain. John,

380
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Car Doctor, sir. How can I help?

381
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 3: Hey? Ron took the twenty twelve GMC Terrain two point

382
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 3: four into the mechanic and it wasn't starting, wasn't running correctly.

383
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 3: And he sent a picture of the variable timing selenoid

384
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 3: that showed a bunch of engine shaving metal shavings in

385
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 3: that middle rib part, kind of like shape like a tube.

386
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 3: I'm sure you ran across this before I looked at

387
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 3: There's been a lawsuit filed, YadA YadA, class action, but

388
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: I think my time they have expired.

389
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: What do you suggest There's there's a few things going

390
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: on here, John GM was there's a recall and special

391
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: policy adjustment regarding rings. There's a special policy adjustment for

392
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: plugged PCV valves. I think the limit on the rings

393
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: was ten years, one hundred and twenty thousand miles. If

394
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: I remember, I'm right, and you're out by that, you know,

395
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: if you want to join the lawsuit and see if

396
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: that gets you anywhere. But you know, is that ten

397
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: years from now when it finally gets settled, and what

398
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: good does that do you? You know, or you try to

399
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: fix it?

400
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: Right, it's it's how many miles around the vehicle now?

401
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 3: Seventy thousand?

402
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: Wow, that's terrible, Yes, it is.

403
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: So you know, there's there's a few things you can

404
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: deal with, all right, if you can get your hands

405
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: on GM document number fourteen eight eighty two. All right,

406
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: it talks about a pluged PC orifice in the intake manifold.

407
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: That one came out around the early part of twenty fifteen,

408
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 1: and I think there's a few way after that, and

409
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: basically what they want you to do. You know how

410
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: when you lift the hood there's that black cover over

411
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: the top of the engine, ye, and there's that tube

412
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: off to the side goes on the passenger side. That's

413
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: the that's the pcvtube. They want you to check to

414
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: see if that's reach all right. And you know, normally

415
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: we'd use a vacuum gauge. In this case, they want

416
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: you to use a monometer. A monometer is just a

417
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: very it sounds scary, but it's a very accurate vacuum

418
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: gage in a sense, and it's much more sensitive. Six

419
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: inches of water, which is what a monometer measures, equals

420
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: one inch of vacuum. So to use a regular vacuum

421
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: gauge isn't enough. It won't it won't give you a

422
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: low enough reading.

423
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: You know.

424
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to stick your tongue over the end

425
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: of the hole and see if you feel suction.

426
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: As the story one said to me, Yeah, great, go ahead,

427
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: But I'm trying to be scientific about it. But the

428
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: idea is, is the PCV orifice or the PCV line

429
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: itself restricted somehow. We're looking to see you if you

430
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: take the oil fill cap off while the engine is running,

431
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: is there an excessive amount of blow by indicated?

432
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 2: Right?

433
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's all the traditional things you would look

434
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: for or look at trying to determine blow buy out

435
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: of an engine. If you decide, Hey, you know it's

436
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: not practical to take it apart because of the cost involved,

437
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: and you want to try the chemical approaches I refer

438
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: to it. We could we could maybe consider, once we

439
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: verify the PCV as working so that the crank case

440
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 1: is venting correctly, we could try using some sort of

441
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: a chemical flush to see if it loosens.

442
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 2: The rings up.

443
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: Because usually, and you know, you're you're the perfect example.

444
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: What does this vehicle go? Six thousand miles a year?

445
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: Five thousand miles a year? Right, it doesn't. It doesn't

446
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: travel far. You know, get out to get out to

447
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: your local AutoZone. Go in there and tell them what

448
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: you're trying to do. Tell them you've got sticky rings.

449
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: Tell them you've got you know this two point four

450
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: in this GMC. I'm sure they're familiar with the problem.

451
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,239
Speaker 1: They're good like that. And you know, do they have

452
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 1: something strong in the way of a crank case flush

453
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: that might have some success and you might have to

454
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: do that process twice if nothing else, John, You'll feel

455
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: good about the fact that if the chemical flush doesn't work,

456
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: you know you tried, right, you did.

457
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, if they kicked it started run it's got the

458
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 3: metal shavings in between the two ribs on that syllinoid.

459
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: And that's what scares me.

460
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never seen it where they get metal shavings

461
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: like that. That makes me think the engine itself is

462
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: coming apart.

463
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 2: If that's the case.

464
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: So you know, if there's metal shavings there, what's the

465
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: oil filter look like?

466
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 3: Right?

467
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: Do we take the oil filter and cut it apart

468
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: and look in the pleats?

469
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: All right? If there's metal shavings, that bad? Okay, if

470
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: you were to take some of the oil, right, it

471
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: won't take much. Pull the dipstick out seven times and

472
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: squeeze off the end into a into a dixie cup. Sure, right,

473
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: and put it in a microwave. If you microwave oil,

474
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: as long as it's in a microwave safe container and

475
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: it flashes and sparks, guess what, Yeah, there's oil. There's

476
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: metal in the oil.

477
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 3: So assume that ron is this thing is coming apart.

478
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: What's better a reman from someone or I don't know

479
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 3: what's point to do.

480
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: Well, if the engine is truly coming apart and you're

481
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: going to replace it, you know, repair it. You know,

482
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: who's your regular mechanic.

483
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 3: It's it's right now at a shop in Saint Louis, Okay.

484
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: And they're they're the ones that's that folded up close

485
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 3: the hood and said, we can't do anything with it, all.

486
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, because not a lot of you know, it's

487
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: hard now. A lot of shops, myself included, no longer

488
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: do heavy engine work. We we have no we have

489
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: no resources for re manufactured engines or engine components. It's

490
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: getting very difficult. So you know, it's you've got to

491
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: go and consider. You know, you've got to find a

492
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: shop that you know we'll do it and back it

493
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: with some kind of a warranty.

494
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: Who does your.

495
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: Normal You know you're an Illinois John is when you

496
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: say Saint Louis, is that a hop skipping to jump

497
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: away for you?

498
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 3: Or you know it's a it's an it's one hundred miles,

499
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: it's my car and that's where it is. And she

500
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 3: called uncle John and she said, I do right, I

501
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 3: could tow it back up here to Springville where I

502
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 3: listened to you on w T A X every Sunday. Right,

503
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: it's a delayed broadcast, right, but you know, kind of

504
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 3: at my wits end and wanting to help her. But

505
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 3: they've closed the closed the issue and closed the hood,

506
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 3: and I don't know where to go from here.

507
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 2: You know, I think I think the approach has to be.

508
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: Trying to get money out of General Motors could be

509
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: long and tedious, right, and.

510
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 3: I think it may have expired. What I've read on

511
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 3: the internet is they only covered it for seven years

512
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 3: and under that class action.

513
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: Right, and you're you're past that.

514
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: So at this point, you know, let's just figure out

515
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: how do we get out of it. It's just a

516
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: car and life's too short and not to not to

517
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: be blunted, you know what I mean. It's just it's

518
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: it's just it's not worth the headache. So, you know,

519
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: is the rest of the car. Listen, let's have the

520
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: conversation about that. You put an engine in this car?

521
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: What kind of shape is the rest of the car?

522
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: Okay, it's it's it looks wonderful.

523
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: So if you if you found the shop and it

524
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 1: was it was I'm going to use New Jersey pricing

525
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: five to seven grand to put an engine in this

526
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: Five to seven grand is cheaper than you know, thirty,

527
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: cheaper than forty. Yes, you know, you've just got to

528
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: find somebody, Now do this. Do this John, you're in Springfield? Yes,

529
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: called Jazzper Engines.

530
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 3: Uh, yes, I thought about that.

531
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, called Jazzper Engines. And say, hey, I'm in Springfield.

532
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: Who's your local installer here in Springfield? And go and

533
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: go talk to them? All right, I think you have

534
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: to bring it up to uncle John, because I think

535
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: this way. You know, if you're going to be involved

536
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: in this financially, you're going to feel better about where

537
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: your money's going. You know, I understand that. Listen, this

538
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: is what this is what us elders have to do,

539
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: right where mentors to the kids. You know, it's part

540
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: of the process. But I think this way you can

541
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,719
Speaker 1: oversee the operation and then when they're doing the engine.

542
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: If so, nobody does the engine. You know, we've got

543
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: to talk about the rest of it. Belts, hoses, tune

544
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: up parts, all the fluids in the rest of the vehicle.

545
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: Peek at the brakes, peak at the suspension. You know,

546
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: how's the rate that? Yeah, how's the radiator? All those things?

547
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, seventy miles got good tires. We just put brakes

548
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 3: on it, tune up the oil changes. Yeah. The thing

549
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: that she's I would have wished happened? Is is? Hey,

550
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 3: uncle John, when this thing I took it on a

551
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 3: two hundred mile trip, I came back I had no

552
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 3: oil in it. Right, that's when I wish that would

553
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: have been notified. But that's what it is, right, you know,

554
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 3: Thank you, sir.

555
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: You know I wish I had a better answer for you, John,

556
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: I can only tell you this. Just approach it with

557
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: a calm, cool head, and you'll.

558
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 2: You'll feel better about it. It's not worth it's not

559
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 2: worth getting upset over all, right, sir, have a good day.

560
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. Good luck to you. That's a tough spot,

561
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: you know. It's it's the price of the new car

562
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:57,479
Speaker 1: though is has has just positioned things as you've got

563
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: to fix it. And I think we're seeing that more

564
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: and more. Somebody's telling me the today they were out

565

Speaker 1: new car shopping the average new car interest rate is

566
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: between eight and ten percent. Wow, absolutely crazy. So you

567
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: know it's you got to look for the deals when

568
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: the when Toyota fond comes along with two point four

569
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: to nine percent. But that's a horse of another color.

579
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: How can we help you today?

580
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 5: Hey, So I was working on my sister's O seven Highlander.

581
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 5: It had to have a couple of things done to

582
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 5: get past the safety inspection. I called you about a

583
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago, right the control arm car end

584
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 5: up doing this lower control Yeah, and I ended up

585
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 5: my shop couldn't get him in in time like because

586
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 5: I had I was down to the wire because the

587
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 5: inspection thing. So I ended up doing him and that

588
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 5: that wasn't a lot of fun by the way, but uh,

589
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 5: as part of the same inspection, they had dinged her

590
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 5: for having uh the rear valve cover gasket on that car,

591
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 5: which is it's the transverse V six. That wasn't a

592
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 5: lot of fun either, by the way. They got her

593
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 5: for you know, oil dripping on the exhaust and you

594
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 5: know I it needed to be done anyway. So I'm like,

595
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 5: all right, screwed him. Already out here, it's already cold. Whatever,

596
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 5: let's just do it. And it was. It was no fun,

597
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 5: but you know I took it. Then due to a

598
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 5: variety of factors, I ended up taking it to another

599
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 5: shop to get reinspected after it had failed initially. And

600
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 5: he was like, uh, valve cover gas. He doesn't have

601
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 5: anything to do with safety. He's like, so you have

602
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 5: the occasional drop of oil and the exhaust, but he's like,

603
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 5: that's not a safety thing. And I I'm just wondering

604
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 5: when you were doing back when Jersey had inspections, if

605
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 5: that was on your all's list of stuff, if it

606
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 5: was listed under the emissions part, if you had like oil,

607
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 5: you know, gripping on the exhaust, if you would have

608
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 5: ding it.

609
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: Did I tell you the story about the day the

610
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: car doctor went to work with the New Jersey Division

611
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: of Motor Vehicles. I'm about to no, you have not

612
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: so so in New Jersey. And this is going back

613
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: fifteen years or so or more, all right, which is

614
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: kind of sad because that tells me I've been on

615
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: the air that long and I'm getting older. But in

616
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: any event, the you know, New Jersey had a statute

617
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: on the books at the time under safety that if

618
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: the vehicle had an excess of oil leak, and for

619
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: this exact reason, I and I talked about this on

620
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: airon I got a visit from DMV, so I might

621
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: get a visit on Monday, we'll say, and I don't care.

622
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: And the conversation was I talked about how I had

623
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: a vehicle that had an oil leak, but New Jersey

624
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: had no parameter. They didn't say, well, you know, and

625
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: I always wanted to know. Is it a one inch league,

626
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: a three inch leak, a four inch leak? Is it

627
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: oil out under the you know, under the car that

628
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: is hitting the back bumper? Like how big of a leak?

629
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: Because before I I had the exact feeling as you

630
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: before I condemn a vehicle and take something off the

631
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: road that's preventing somebody from going to do their livelihood.

632
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: I need a parameter, I need a guideline. I need

633
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: to be able to say, well, let's see, it's six inches,

634
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: it's a six inch leak, you're out. New Jersey never

635
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: gave me an answer. And I explain that to them,

636
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure where they got stuck. But I

637
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: never heard back once they realized that. You know, I'm

638
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: not just some garage owner, but I'm this guy with

639
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: a radio show that you know. Not that I would

640
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 1: be nasty about it, but I wasn't thrilled to not

641
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: be able to talk about it. You know, it's prom

642
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: now by the same token, I agree that those back

643
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: valve covers are nasty, and I agree that they should

644
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: be done. My concern is how big of an oil

645
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: leak was it? Was it big enough that oil hitting

646
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: the exhaust manifold on a hot July day when underhood

647
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: temperature goes through the roof, could that.

648
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 2: Ignite and become a fire?

649
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 1: Oil does have a flash point, you know, It's like

650
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: I always tell people power steering fluid has a flash

651
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: point too. You know, at the very least it's going

652
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: to make a smoky, sloppy mess. When does the dripping

653
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: oil get down onto an oxygen sensor? You know, there's

654
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: one hundred ways to look at it, Jeremy, is it

655
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: legal in Washington d C? Parameters as far as safety

656
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: inspection that you know, since you've got one shop saying no,

657
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: in another shop saying yes, I would call DMV or

658
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: whoever does d m V for that for that area

659
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: that she's licensed them where the vehicle's inspected in and

660
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: you should be able to get a legal you know,

661
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: here's the requirement. It's got to meet this because either

662
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: Shop A is wrong or Shop B is wrong.

663
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 2: And you know from now, you know.

664
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 5: Sir, I already already did the thing. I was just curious,

665
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. Like I did it because,

666
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 5: like you said, it needed done and it was disgusting.

667
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: It will be yeah, let me let me say this, Jeremy.

668
00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: It will be within the confines of whatever DMV allow

669
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: and just for future reference, you'll know from there. But yeah,

670
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: I agree, it's a vague reason. You've got to know

671
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: the reason why before you do it. Again, thanks for

672
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: the call. I'm ronning Ay in the car doctor. Hey,

673
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: coming up next, we're going in the shop, Curtesy Vota Zone,

674
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: don't go away, welcome back. I'm running the card doctor.

675
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: We're in the shop right now, courtesy the Folksover at

676
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 1: ontozonepro dot com. You know, for all my shop owners

677
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: out there, you know what it's like. Right it's three

678
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: o'clock Friday, and you got that last oil change going

679
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: on the rack, or that second to last oil change

680
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: going on the rack and you haven't gotten to it

681
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: yet because it's three o'clock and you're busy all morning,

682
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: and like, yeah, I got to get to that.

683
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 5: I know.

684
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: It's just an oil chain, that's all he wanted to do.

685
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: We just we should look it over. We don't have

686
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: time because we're too busy doing everything else. We had

687
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: one of those this week at twenty ten to four

688
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: to escape. I thought of Tom the old square body escapes,

689
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: and here was another one with high mileage on it,

690
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: and we took it for that road test about three

691
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: ZHO five and driving down the road, everything seemed good,

692
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: but when you stepped on the brake, you got this

693
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: nasty kathump kathump, kathump, kathump cathomp when you let off

694
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: the brake, and it just stayed there doing that until

695
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: you got back to the shop. We put it up

696
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: in the air and found that the left front brake

697
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: was locked. It wouldn't release, which I thought was strange

698
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: because it didn't pull. It didn't have a brake pull

699
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: one side or the other, but the left front brake

700
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 1: was definitely locked up. I released the bleeder, I opened

701
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: the bleeder on the right front and it released the

702
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: left front wheel, which told me the right front hose

703
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: was bad, and that explained why it didn't pull. Okay,

704
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 1: the left front was being applied, the right front was

705
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: not doing anything, and it.

706
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: Just I don't know. I still think about it and

707
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 2: I wonder why.

708
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 1: The bottom line, we called up bottles on and we

709
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: were able to get a set of hoses and calipers

710
00:34:58,719 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: in time.

711
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 2: Every time, I'm like they always do.

712
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: They came to our raid like the cavalry, and we

713
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: ever get the car out the door on time. So

714
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: when you're in that last minute pinch, you got to

715
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: call your part supplier.

716
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 2: Make sure it's when you can count on.

719
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:15,759
