00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: Mr One and only no Bologna, not a phony? Tom Ray,

31
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: Mr Ray, Hello, how are you today? Sir? Oh, well,

32
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: let's put it this wayning, But that's you know, that's

33
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: that's only here in the Northeast. Well, well, no, not

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: necessarily a Northeast. I just talked to a gentleman from Michigan,

35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: same thing. And no, by the way, it's cold and

36
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: Florida and it's snowed in Georgia. Does that mean if

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: it's snowing in Florida, that means that Santa is going

38
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: to go there first. I mean it's probably easier for him,

39
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: right because it's you know, I I I would think,

40
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, because they don't get that much snow. And

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: if there's snow down there. He might as well hit

42
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: it first and get it out of the way, right,

43
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: because it's probably it's it's tough for him, trust me,

44
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: I know I talked to him every year about the

45
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: sleigh and all these other things. Well, I'm trying to

46
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to do it this year. We we

47
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: I just don't have the time Tom you know, I yeah,

48
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: I know. And plus you know, I mean last year

49
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: you left Tony and I in the lurch here. I mean, listen,

50
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: what's more important fixing cars with you guys? Or you know,

51
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he is the big guy. Well, this is true.

52
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: This is true. Besides, I got everything I wanted last

53
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: year for Christmas because I had the end be too,

54
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: because you know, we let you go. Well it's and

55
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: you've got what you wanted because you get to work

56
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: with me. Well, there's only one other thing we need. Um,

57
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: the Giants win tomorrow coming. We're gonna go on about this,

58
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: of course, because you know, Tony's not here, so somebody's

59
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: gonna do it. I gotta tell you, it's it's got

60
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: to be pretty neat. I mean, the way I'm looking

61
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: at it is the Giants now have a for four

62
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: four games season, all right, and let's see him go

63
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: for now, because it has got to be pretty cool

64
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: tomorrow when Eli runs out of that stadium. Oh man,

65
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: can you imagine it's gotta be They gotta go nuts,

66
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: especially against Dallas. And then next week it's Philadelphia, so

67
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: you know they got at least they got a couple

68
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: of two good games coming up that you know, we

69
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: won't make it anywhere, but from a rale boost for that, Okay,

70
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: it should be a lot of fun. Yeah, absolutely, So

71
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: can I get back to talking about cars now, because

72
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: I've kind of touched on everything else. Cars that's what

73
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: that's what we're here for. Okay, you got it. So

74
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: I got a guy waiting over here on the phone.

75
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: Then I've just got to go over and talk to us.

76
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: That all right with you? Now? Okay, I don't think

77
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: about it all right? Well, just hit the button. Jeff

78
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: from Lansing, Michigan. Jeff, are you're still there, sir? How

79
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: is the weather up there? Is? It's snow and hard

80
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: now right now? We've got two inches last night. The

81
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: concrete is still warm enough to dry out. Yeah, Well,

82
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: think of it this way. If it's snow and now,

83
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: that means We're one day closer to cruising season. It'll

84
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: be spring soon somewhere, absolutely, So what can I do

85
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: for you today, Jeff? Well, my mother's m Tel has

86
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: just over thirty fells miles on it. Of the dealer

87
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: changed the oil first the year it snowed every day,

88
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: and since then I used Penn's Oil alter a couple

89
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: of times. And since then I've been using Penn's Oil

90
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: Platinum because the five court jugs were bucks instead of

91
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: nine bucks of court. And I've heard you talk about

92
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 1: specs and this is kind of academic because I'm sure

93
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: I can use the Euro is now available in five

94
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: court jugs platinum Euro, so I'm it's the same price

95
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: and I'm sure I can use it. But I just

96
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: thought i'd check with you because it specs and the

97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: owner's manual dex So Swan in the Euro is Dexos two. Um,

98
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: Dexos too, if I'm not mistaken, is a rating? Why

99
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: do I think Dexos two is a rating for diesel classification? Um?

100
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: I just read this? Yeah, Um, I think you're fine

101
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: with the Dexos one. You know again, if the car

102
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: is spected XOS want I think Dexos one is where

103
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: you want to be. You don't want to go overboard.

104
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: You know. It's it's funny. I went to a class

105
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: on variable valve timing not too long ago, and I

106
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: actually went through the class three times, not because I'm stupid,

107
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: but because I know the instructor and he, you know,

108
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: we get to talk and he says, yeah, come on back,

109
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: you can. You can monitor the class and you know, listen,

110
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: if somebody offers me classes and training, I take it.

111
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: I just keep going um and you know, it absorbed

112
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: in after a while. That oil oil is a problem. Okay,

113
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: there's no other way to say it, to the point

114
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: that if you really read the class on variable valve timing,

115
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: that a t G is putting out and you get

116
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: into the fundamentals of it. Boy, it is so hard

117
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: to what oil specs correctly. And you know, all this

118
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: stuff about all oils are the same is is really

119
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of bologny. It's it's it's almost to the

120
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: point that you wonder if anybody can produce the correct oil,

121
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: and they can. And my point becomes that whenever I

122
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: buy oil and I start talking about what to put

123
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: in a car, I always go back to what is

124
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: the manufacturer spec? Did the manufacturer of the vehicle spec?

125
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: And then what does the manufacturer of the oil come

126
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: up with and how do they equate to that? And

127
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's interesting. Some manufacturers of oil are

128
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: putting Dexos on the bottle, but it doesn't say Dexos Approved.

129
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: It says Dexos and you know there's some issues there

130
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: with that. Uh. You know, some people are saying, well,

131
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: they don't want to put you know, they can't put

132
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: Dexos approved because they don't want to pay GM the

133
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: royalty and the licensing fees. Okay, I get it, But

134
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: the bigger picture there is they also don't want you know,

135
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: they can't meet the standard. There's there's an issue there.

136
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: And you know, I think what you're doing is right.

137
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: I just think Dexos wont is where you want to be.

138
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: You know, Pennzoil Platinum or Pennzoil Ultra, whichever one, but

139
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, both good oils for a lot of reasons. Um,

140
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: you know, you hear me talking about it. It's the

141
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: real deal stuff. I still remember it's got to be

142
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: three or four years ago. They were doing a press

143
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: event in New York City and I went to it,

144
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: and I don't know, everybody was all excited because all

145
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: these big names, celebrities and athletes were there. And you know,

146
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: I was all excited because I got to meet the engineers,

147
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: and uh, we kind of had a little gab fest

148
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: going over in the corner of the room. So you

149
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: can imagine this. Here's this big thing in the middle

150
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: of New York City and they've got floodlight, spotlights, celebrities,

151
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, all the A list is there, and here's

152
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: the car doctor all the way over in the corner

153
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: with these two in three engineers sitting down and we're

154
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: just kind of having a conversation about well, what kind

155
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: of oil do you make and how do you make it?

156
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: And you know, it was just a fascinating conversation. And

157
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: it still comes down to, I believe this. When you're

158
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: buying oil, you're buying the company you're buying how much

159
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: they care and how hard they try, and how much

160
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: science went into the manufacture of that oil, because you know,

161
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: oils today are constantly changing and just very very different, um,

162
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: very very different. So but that's the deal. What kind

163
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: of filter are you using? By the way, I've been

164
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: using kNN okay, good stuff. Um. You know, Wicks is

165
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: also uh something you can get in there, and if

166
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: you're going for an extended range, um, you know, you

167
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: can take a look at a Wicks filter and see

168
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: what they've got in the lineup. But the key comes

169
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: back to, you know, if it's synthetic. I'm gonna stick

170
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: my two cents in the pot and generate some emails

171
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: and hate mail. Um, I'm gonna tell you that. You know,

172
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: five thousand miles on synthetic oil is a great place

173
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: to be, especially if it's mom and she's probably not

174
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: going far. Um. You know, when you're down to changing

175
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: it once a year or once every six seven months,

176
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, definitely the way to go. That's changing it

177
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: at Do you think that's too much? Um? What's what's

178
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: the time frame in between? Jeff? Probably seven months or so. Yeah,

179
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: you can do that. That's okay, listen, better better do

180
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: it too much than too little. I'll tell you here

181
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: because she's she's she's not around today, but my wife's car.

182
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: I put an oil chain sticker on the car for

183
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: three thousand and she gets it in by five. But

184
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: she's got synthetic, so I'm covered. Don't tell anybody, So

185
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: it's a secret. One more question. I don't have a

186
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: computer or a cell phone too for nickel today, Babe,

187
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: what's going on? And one of these days I'm gonna

188
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: need a scanner code reader. I've never had one, so

189
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: for that, and tell you know, I don't ask vice

190
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: unless I'm going to take this. So what would you

191
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: suggest to that car? Well, you know, there's there's there's

192
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: two ways to look at this. O b D two

193
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: onboard Diagnostics too, is the standard language of code scanning.

194
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: O b D two allows you to buy law look

195
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: at engine a mission related fault codes. So you can

196
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: get a check engine light on in a car and

197
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: look at it with O b D two, And whether

198
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: it's a Mercedes or a Chevrolet, or a Honda or

199
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: a Toyota, they're all gonna be the same standardized code,

200
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: the same standardized data stream, which is kind of neat.

201
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: You can you know we use O b D two

202
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, were and we're taught this

203
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: that you use O b D two to diagnose a problem,

204
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: but you use manufacturer specific to verify the repair and

205
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: sometimes to fix it as well. It's it's a it's

206
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: a double edged sword, because when you're an O b

207
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: D two, you're looking at the same thing from car

208
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: to car to car. Chrysler doesn't call fuel trim fuel trim. Uh,

209
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, Handa doesn't look at an O two centsor

210
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: the same way as Toyota. But O b D two

211
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: standardizes that in a lot of cases. So the first

212
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: question you've got to answer is do you want O

213
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: b D two or do you want manufacturer specific? And

214
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: the the answer to that question, ultimately, Liz, is what's

215
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: the budget, What's what's your real goal? What do you

216
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: think you're gonna spend in in in the purchase of

217
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: this tool? Well, I I go five if if you

218
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: suggest it, I'll just make it happen. Well, do this.

219
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: Take a look at the line of tools from launch,

220
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: the Millennium series, all right, then the ninety is their

221
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: top of the line tool. The Millennium is it's their

222
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: top of the line tool, good solid tool. Um, you know,

223
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: it works very well. You can print from it, it

224
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: does O b D two. I almost think it's manufacturer

225
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: specific at some level, but it's just not coverage across

226
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 1: all the modules. So it's well under five and it's

227
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: a good starting point. All right, say, listen, you you

228
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: said you can find more launch tech USA dot com.

229
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: You just said it right. Two minutes ago you said

230
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: you can't change oil often enough. Something else I'll tell you,

231
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: because my wife's not around today. You can't have too

232
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: many scan tools, you know. The guy with the most

233
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: scan tools usually wins and spirit of Tony. Tony is

234
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: not here today, by the way, is stuck in New

235
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: York because of the snow. So but work your way

236
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: up from there. All right, kiddo, thank you very much here.

237
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: Welcome Jeff. You take good care and the good job

238
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: taking care of mom's car. Eight five zero nine zero zero.

239
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: Run in any of the car doctor. We're coming back

240
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: right after this. The car doctor is coming to your radio,

241
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: and you can give him a call at eight five

242
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: five five zero nine zero zero. Now with a very

243
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: special phone caller. Here's Ron. Hey, Tom, listen, I got

244
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: a question for it before we take our next call. Um.

245
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: I ran this pen through the washing machine at home

246
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: this week, and it writes really good. Ever, I wonder

247
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: why it does that well. It might be a technical

248
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: term that you like to use. It might have gotten

249
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: rid of the schmutz on the tip of the pen.

250
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: I mean I was a schwitzur remover um. But I'm

251
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: not kidding. I was just taking some notes here during

252
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: the break and it just works. I gotta hang on

253
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: to this. I'll have to try that. But you know,

254
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: you might want to check the laundry to see if

255
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: it wrote on those two. Well. I was, you know,

256
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: I was just really lucky because it was a load

257
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: of whites and it was a white T shirt and

258
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: a pocket thing, and I was like, I was like,

259
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, blue ink, white T shirt. Now, what could

260
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: go wrong there? And like, holy count. Hey, by the way,

261
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: before I go to the next caller, I think you

262
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: wrote it wrong. It says is this Santa fe New Mexico,

263
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: or because it says no, this is the big guy himself, Santa.

264
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: He's been listening. He listened to the beginning of the show. Oh, oh, geez,

265
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: I forgot he does that. Yeah, this is And he

266
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: said something about the Nauti list because you had said

267
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the show you might not want

268
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: to go up and see him this year, because Tom,

269
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: I can't get up and see it. I got too

270
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: much to do. You know that. I know that you

271
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: tell Santa that. Okay, I'm sorry, go ahead, put him up.

272
00:13:54,559 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: I did Santa. Oh boy, did I hear? Right? At

273
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: that time, at the beginning of your show, you said

274
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: you don't have time for Santa. Well, no, it's it's

275
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: not that I don't have time, Santa. I just I

276
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: have all these broken cars here that i'm you know,

277
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: and they count on me to come in every week,

278
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: and well, you know, I'm sorry, I trust you. Listen,

279
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm using the latest technology. Listen. You know me, I'd

280
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: lose the latest F four team, the F seventeen military technology.

281
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: And it's only you that can help me out. Gott

282
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: to help out the reindeer, and you don't want to

283
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: disappoint the children. Ron, Oh, we're gonna do the children card,

284
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: all right. I'll be there what time, what time? And Ron,

285
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: we can discuss the details after all, fear. But you know, Ron,

286
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: I also have my rain checked. The reindeer light is

287
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: going on constantly and the elves can't figure it out.

288
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,119
Speaker 1: I need you wrong. Well, you know, I think partially

289
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: because of global warming and the change in the atmosphere

290
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: and the higher you go to get to everybody every year,

291
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: which I still don't understand how we achieve this, but

292
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: I think it's got a lot to do with well,

293
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: some of that Christmas magic um. You know, you've got

294
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: to change their feed by region. You gotta divide. I'll

295
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: do it for you when I get there. Just tell

296
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: the Elves to leave it on the side and I'll

297
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: take care of the mix when I get there for

298
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: that night we can make I can be there on

299
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: the twenty three, but that means we're not gonna be

300
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: live on they. Tom, is that okay with you? Because

301
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to Waitnue. You did this to us

302
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: last year, and what are we gonna do? Well? You can,

303
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: you and Tony can tell everybody everything that you know.

304
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: You guys know about cars. It'll sound like complete silence,

305
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: but I mean that's what I was just gonna say.

306
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there won't be a show. Listen, this is Santa.

307
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: I can't turn Santa down and tell you, Tony and Tom,

308
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: I might do something with the Giants this season, right.

309
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: I have ideas what you can do with the Giants,

310
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: but you know yea, but keep it clean. This is

311
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: Santa Santa. Listen. I'll tell you what if you bring

312
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: the Giants a winning season next year? I think Tom

313
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: will let me come. Well, I have to you know,

314
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: the cold mines that bring snow today, so I can

315
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: dolenty plenty. Let me ask you a question, na um,

316
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: And this is the one everybody wants to know. The

317
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: night before you go out, you know, Christmas Eve? How

318
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: do you stay awake all that time? I mean, what

319
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: do you eat before you before you take off on

320
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: your trip? It's a special business clause blend that keep

321
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: me wide open and really special Chris Chris blood from

322
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: Mrs Laws and and and you know what are you

323
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: drinking that whole time? I mean it takes you twelve

324
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: fourteen hours to do all this that's a special recipe.

325
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: Mrs Claus won't even give me the secret. Oh well,

326
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: thank gosh for Mrs Glass And it's it's you know.

327
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: And then we have the time continuum, so time continue

328
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: and so we can make sure they'll be cover all

329
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: the good little boys and girls. And they've been great

330
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: this year. Draw well, and I bet you how is

331
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: the naughty list versus the good list this year? Santa?

332
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: You know what I think the good outweighs this year.

333
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: I wanna have to check out once again a few

334
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: more times you know, you gotta check it once, you

335
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: gotta check it twice, you know, think of think of

336
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: it like this, Santa, And for all you do, we

337
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: love you for it because you represent all the good

338
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: in the world and we know you're out there and

339
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: you're trying to make the world a better place by

340
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: bringing toys to children Christmas Eve and I will be there.

341
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: I will be there. They three, and I got a

342
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: couple of things. I was thinking about modifying a few things. Um.

343
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: I've noticed that the runners are starting to with age

344
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: there there, the wood is getting a little So I'm

345
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: gonna make a couple of modifications. We're gonna make you

346
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: even quicker. We're gonna get you in and at everybody's

347
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: houses and locales this year, lickety split. Promise you and Ron,

348
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: thank you so much. And I want to say, Mary

349
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: Christos to your entire audience, thank you. Santa. You take

350
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: good care and I'll see you. I'll see you the

351
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: twenty three, honest, I promise. I'm sorry to by Santa.

352
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: Tom look at that just the big guy, you know.

353
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: I looked at the screen and I know how to

354
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: attract him. Man, I tell you, I thought you were

355
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: telling me I thought it was I thought it said

356
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: Santa Fe, but I couldn't figure out what the guy's

357
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: name was, North Paul. It didn't didn't make any sense

358
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: on my call screen. I think you set me up

359
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: on that one. I'm gonna have to talk to Tony

360
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: when he comes back next week. Ron, any of the

361
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, what a show. We're coming back right after this.

362
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: Don't go away from his area to few in East

363
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: post layer fixing all your car problems here, Lan given

364
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: the pall eight five five five six zero nine nine

365
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: zero zero. Let's get over and talk to Sammy in

366
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: Central Pennsylvania three tourist wagon. Sam, you're on the Car Doctor.

367
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: How can I help? Oh? Is this Ron? It? Sure is?

368
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: What's going on? Hey? Ron? I called you, I think

369
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: a Monday or so ago and you, Uh, I told

370
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: you how I could determine when my battery was going

371
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: jet and you mentioned that there was He thought that

372
00:18:54,440 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: there was a cigarette voltmeter on cigarette lighter voltmeter, right,

373
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: you can plug it into the cigarette lighter. Sure look

374
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: at voltage that way? Yeah, And uh, well I looked

375
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: on the Google of this and I found a whole

376
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: bunch of them anywhere from a dollar fifty to ten dollars. Anyway,

377
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: my son bought me a ten dollar one. Now the

378
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: question is wrong, How do I interpret all that stuff

379
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: on there? It's not much on there, it's just the voltage,

380
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: just voltage. Right, So I got one, I mean, I

381
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: got a light on the dash there. That's apparently what'll

382
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: come along. Look worse. Well, let's ask this, Corty. Maybe

383
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: you don't know where. Maybe you don't have to get

384
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: in this much detail. What uh, what I'm trying to

385
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: say is that and what Vulty says? The one on

386
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: the dash come on? It varies by car, Sam all right,

387
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: so so vehicle manufactural vary by cardinal, very by year,

388
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, and it can be very precise. It could be.

389
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: It could be it could the like could come on

390
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: at twelve and a half volts, twelve point four volts,

391
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: twelve point three, et cetera. Is the light on on

392
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: the dashboard now, the charging light? No, it's it's well, yeah,

393
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: it's working properly. Everything is everything is normal now? Okay,

394
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: so there's no dash lights on? And when you started up,

395
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: where's the volt meter read around? Okay? That's your that's

396
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: your baseline. Congratulations, you've just baselined. You know what known

397
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: good looks like, all right, So and you're fortunate because

398
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: think of it like this. If the car was broken

399
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: and you looked at the vault meter, you don't know

400
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: what known good is because your car might be a

401
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: little bit different than than one next to it, and

402
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: the one next to that, and the one next to

403
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: that and so on. So typical industry speak becomes forget

404
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: voltage and everything else. Let's just talk in generic terms.

405
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: A standing standing battery widget will be twelve point five.

406
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: It's voltage, all right, So standing battery voltage will be

407
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: twelve point five vaults, all right. That is a typical

408
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: considered healthy battery. Is there arranged for it? Yes, twelve

409
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: point two to twelve point five is is pretty much

410
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: what you'll see out of most batteries that are sitting

411
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: under the hood or sitting on a shelf, depending on

412
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: how long they're sitting there. Where Where that voltage rises

413
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: to once you start the vehicle and the charging system

414
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: takes over clearly varies by vehicle. It will in your case,

415
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: vary by how good a connection you have at that

416
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: cigarette lighter, what sort of resistance might be involved in

417
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: line and also the quality of the gauge. And I'm

418
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: not saying ten dollars is a bad quality, but you

419
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: know that that ten dollar gauge versus you know, a

420
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: four fluke seventy eight seven m um, it just might

421
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: produce a slightly different result. But the rule of thumb

422
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: here becomes at fourteen vaults on that cigarette lighter gauge.

423
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: I think you're I think that's a good barometer. If

424
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: you're driving along and all of a sudden you see

425
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:10,239
Speaker 1: it dropped the thirteen volts, that's excessive unless unless you

426
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: know that thirteen volts there is a reason. Maybe you

427
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: just turned on the air conditioning. Maybe you turned on

428
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: the the the heater, uh you know, the blower motor,

429
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: the rear defroster, and and that's and that's the other

430
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: part of this equation. Okay, now that you know what,

431
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: Now that you know that fourteen volts is where the

432
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: volt meter is gonna sit, you know, driving down the

433
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: road at at at thirty five miles an hour and

434
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: when you come to a traffic light, maybe it drops

435
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: the thirteen point eight. I don't know how accurate this

436
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: is or if this is a digital or an analog

437
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: redoubt maybe it drops the thirteen eight. That's known good.

438
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: That's you're known good. Now, turn on the headlights, turn

439
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: on the high beams, turn under the froster, you know,

440
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: loaded up electrically. See where the worst case scenario is.

441
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: I've had cars that are good cars with a with

442
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: a real vault on the battery where I've seen charging

443
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: voltage about twelve point eight twelve point nine, the lights

444
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: not on, there's really nothing wrong with the car. But

445
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: I've got every electrical device in the vehicle on high beam,

446
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: high beams, rear to froster, air conditioning, fan blowers on

447
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: high We're running every electrical accessory in the car, and

448
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: that's how some of them will struggle, especially as they

449
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: get older, to keep the charging system above par. But

450
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: the minute, is there some way I can put on

451
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: alarm in there to do what the more? So let

452
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 1: me know when the now I think, I think for

453
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: all the effort that you're going to see there between

454
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: between the light on the dashboard, listen, if you don't

455
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: notice the light on the dashboard and then the needle

456
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: on the gauge changing or being below speck, the alarm

457
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: will probably scare the But Jesus at you and you'll

458
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: crash off the side of the road, right, So I

459
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: think you're fine where it's a yeah, I understand. I

460
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: was talking to a trucker and he used to drive

461
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: a truck and he said they used to carry a

462
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: spare alternator. Okay, go ahead, what's your point. Well, the

463
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: point is that i'd like to anticipate that maybe if

464
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: if I could know within fifty or a hundred miles,

465
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: I could know that I need to get to a

466
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: garager or or a service place. Do you have a

467
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: spare tire, Sammy, Yes, I do. How many do you have?

468
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 1: How many? How many tires are on the car? Four?

469
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: Are you gonna are you going to carry four spares? No? Um,

470
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: you know? Are you gonna put a spare starter? Why

471
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: why do these trucking companies carry a spare alternator? Well,

472
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: because they're long distance haulers and maybe they've got issues.

473
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: You know, they're stuck out in the middle of the

474
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: desert somewhere, bringing bringing produce across you know, states where

475
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: there's long stretches of road and it may take a

476
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: while for them to get parts. All right, whereas you know,

477
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: what's your daily commute. Let's let's tackle it this way.

478
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: What's your daily commute? Where do you? How far do

479
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: you travel every day? Do you do you still work?

480
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: Are you? I'm retired? Okay, and so you know where

481
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: do you are? You? Are you generally within an hour

482
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: of home most of the time? Yes, I am? Okay.

483
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: How many autoparts stores are within that hour? There are? Right,

484
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: That's that's why. That's why you don't need to carry

485
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: a spare altonator now every every now and then I

486
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: drive to Philadelphia to see my son, or I drive

487
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: to New Jersey. Uh okay, so guess what? Or New

488
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: Jersey and Philadelphia both have autoparts stores. Trust me, I'm

489
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 1: kind of worried about in between those. All right, So

490
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: let me ask you this. This is this is an

491
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: oh three tourists? What engine is? This is the three

492
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: leader duel overhead cam motor? Oh? I know that I

493
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: went to the Ford. They said that was a good

494
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: one for made. Oh so the alternator must be up top? Yeah,

495
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: it is on top. Okay, So listen. If you feel

496
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: better about having an alternator, if that's your security blanket, brother,

497
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: go ahead, buy an alternator. Get out to an o'reillyoto parts,

498
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: ask them what's the best they got sticking in the

499
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: back of the car, and you've got you know what

500
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: was my security blanket before? When I had the old alternators,

501
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: they had the brushes in there, so I just changed

502
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: the rushes every now and then. Well I pull them on.

503
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: Take a look at him. See how how good or

504
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 1: how bad they Yeah, we can't do that anymore. But listen,

505
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: if having a spare alternator makes you feel good, if

506
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: that's your piccadillo, do it, man, all right. Chances are,

507
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: chances are you won't need it. But far be it

508
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: for me to sit there and rock your world. I

509
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 1: would tell you to do it. If that's what makes

510
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: you feel good, do it all right? Very good? Wrong,

511
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: if you're very welcome, you're very welcome. You take good care? Right,

512
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: what else you gonna do? I mean, listen, we all

513
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: have our We're all human, man, We're just we're a

514
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: work in progress and we're trying to get to the

515
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: finish line. Um. You know, he who leaves the best

516
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: looking corpse wins. I'm not really winning that, Tom. I

517
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: have the face made for radio. But yeah, so it's um,

518
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: you know, but you know, I have no fault If

519
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: somebody wants to carry spare parts. But the reason truckers

520
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: do it is because they're in such crazy parts of

521
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: the country and I imagine, um they run into some

522
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: very specific uh component tree and requirements and not as

523
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: easily obtainable. I'm sure you. Well, I don't know. Maybe

524
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: you can welcome too an Ohio to ports and ask

525
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: for an alternator for an eighteen wheeler. Um, that would

526
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: be a good question. I'll have to find out the

527
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: answer to that. So but anyway, let me let me

528
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: mosey on down the road here eight zero run in

Speaker 1: Shut up and stop talking. Did you see the article

534
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: this week about mercury retro grade and the true story? Right?

535
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: I know you guys like to hear these real story

536
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: from the shop, So you know mercury retro grades are

537
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: going on. I think it's still going on, but it

538
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: was supposed to be really bad Thursday and Friday this week,

539
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: and I've noticed it. You know, I'm having a hard

540
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: time communicating with with certain people, and it's like somethings

541
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: just make less sense than they ever did, and you're

542
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: just scratching your head saying, so it would be a

543
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: good time to just kind of take a breath and

544
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, let's let's all take a second pause. Especially

545
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: this time of year, is a lot of stress. But

546
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: I still gotta fix cars, Okay, I still had to

547
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: my job. And Friday this week, a two thousand seven

548
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: Pontiac G six came in and it had been scheduled

549
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: and it needed a key that it's the same key

550
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: for the door in the ignition switched. The key had broken,

551
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: and you know we we had a key made based

552
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: off of then you know you can you can do

553
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: that certain GM cars. You can go to the dealer,

554
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: give them the vent and say hey, I need this.

555
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: Um you have to show them who you are, a

556
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: proof of I d you know it's me, it's my car.

557
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: That kind of thing or mechanics can do it and

558
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: you get a key made. And the car came in

559
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: and I always do this the same way. I always

560
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: I check it in the door and it worked fine

561
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: in the door. It had absolutely no problem in the door,

562
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: and I checked the original key in the ignition switch

563
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: and it worked just fine. And I took the new

564
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: key because I have to learn it. You have to

565
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: go through a relearned process. And I was going through

566
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: that relearned process, and I took the replacement key and

567
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: put it in the put it in the ignition switch

568
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: and it it started the car. It turned, it started,

569
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: and I went to turn it back and it won't turn.

570
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, me, what did I do? Did I?

571
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: Did I do this right? So I have Yeah, it's

572
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: got to be the right key. I just you know,

573
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: you kind of go around this in your head three

574
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: times and it turn. And you got my little two

575
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: ounce ball peen hammer, and I gave it a little

576
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: think on the end. Sometimes you just got to catch

577
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: the tumblers and just make them go, you know, give

578
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: it a little and nope, and shut a little liquid

579
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: wrench in there and give it nothing. And I'm like,

580
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: oh boy, now to set the stage properly. It's Friday morning,

581
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: thirty repair shop. Here's a car that's got to go

582
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: by three. You got a full day, a full slate

583
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: of other cars to deal with, and so you're trying

584
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: to do what you think is the easy thing. First,

585
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: and it's now when you're parking lot running, you can't

586
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: turn it off and has got anything to tank. I

587
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: guess on it and you just you're like, oh, come on, really,

588
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: so the way out? Because you know, it's funny. I

589
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: always I always hear my dad talking to me when

590
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: I when I get in these scenarios, he always kind

591
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: of sits me down to my head and he says,

592
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, stay calm, breathe and think your way out.

593
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: There's always a way out. And I brought the car in.

594
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: I pulled down the knee bolster, which is the part

595
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: across your your front knee where you're sitting, you know,

596
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: underneath the steering wheel there, and I was able to

597
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: get to the safety release for the locks cylinder, and

598
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: I took out my handy dandy pocket screw driver, which

599
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, I always had my pocket screw driver with me.

600
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: It's sort of like, you know, it's you gotta have it.

601
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: And I pushed it on the safety tab. And since

602
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: the key was already in the run position anyway, I think,

603
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: and now I've got the lock cylinder out in my hand,

604
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: and I said, well, this is a start. At least

605
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: I separated the broken part from the good part, okay,

606
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: And then I backed the car out, took a screwdriver,

607
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: went down the barrel right to the electrical part of

608
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: the ignition switch, and went and turned off the card.

609
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: Now I got at least I'm not gonna run out

610
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: of gas. Cold carpenter Bobby was floating around, and I

611
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: knew he was running around town that day doing some errands.

612
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: And Bobby ran over to the locksmith and they were

613
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: able to disassemble the ignition switch and reset the tumblers.

614
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: Found a two warn or bent tumbler. I didn't get

615
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: the whole story. We were in a rush store as

616
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: the end of the day, and they repaired it, and

617
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: it works like butter. But you know, you look at

618
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: the it's so simple. How hard could it be? You know?

619
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: And I always think about that whenever everybody says, oh,

620
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: just put a battery in the car. How hard could

621
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: it be? Get an ignition key for it? How hard

622
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: could it be? And and and this is a relatively

623
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: simple process because it's still mechanical keys and mechanical tumblers

624
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: and cylinders. Uh, you know, Heaven help you. And this

625
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: is the point of this conversation. Besides you know, the

626
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: woes of the repair shop, you know, start to look

627
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: at the cost of replacement key fobs. Some interesting things

628
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: are going on with key fops. First of all, I'm

629
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: reading in the paper that a lot of you don't

630
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: have the energy to lock your car and bring the

631
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: key fob in with you at night, which I don't understand.

632
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: All Right, there's a rash of cars being stolen in

633
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: the in the northeast region here, and I'm sure it's

634
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: elsewhere in the country in the world. But evidently people

635
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: who are leaving cars unlocked with the fobs in them

636
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: because they don't they just I don't know, the fob

637
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: must wait too much. And then the second problem is

638
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: the cost of that fob. And I'm noticing people putting

639
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: like a lot of cars that come in and don't

640
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: do this. You put the key fob. There's two cup holders.

641
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: You ever noticed this. There's two cup holders in the

642
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: console and they put the You put the key fob

643
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: in the one cup holder, and you put your can

644
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: of soda, water, juice, hot coffee or whatever and the

645
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: other cup holder. Then you hit a bump in the road,

646
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: the coffee splashes, hits the key fob, Yeah, that's only

647
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: gonna work so many times before it's gonna cost you

648
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: three four. So think about what you're doing. That's a

649
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: little baby computer chips sitting there. But anyway, got the

650
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: car out on time, quarter to three down the road.

651
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: She was very happy. But you know, just you put

652
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: the key and you go and nothing happens. Anyway, that's

653
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: my story. I'm on a Nady in the car doctor.

654
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm coming back right after this. You come to the

655
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: right place that you have a call, Robber. You're on

656
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: Anny in the car doctor jero zero zero. Now back

657
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: to rob They welcome back real quick. Um, you know

658
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: winters here and um, the weather's gonna get colder obviously,

659
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: TPMs slids are gonna be going off, and um, you know,

660
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: just some good thoughts from the car here. Council they

661
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: recommend checking entire pressure regularly during the winter, and I

662
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: I agree with them because you know what it's it's

663
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: gonna be an issue. TPMs lights are gonna be going on. Now,

664
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: don't fall into the suspicion, Hey, is is the light

665
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: really on? Is because it's got a flatter? Is it

666
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: on because there's there's you know, it's just cold weather Um.

667
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: But as per the Car Care Council, they tell you

668
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: that it's typical this time of year from motors to

669
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 1: get TPMs warnings and then get worried about their tires

670
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,879
Speaker 1: or not. And that's according to the Rich Wide executive director.

671
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: We just had Rich on the show not too long ago. Um.

672
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: Often drivers will see it in the morning when it's cold.

673
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: As the temperature warms, the like it turn off, but

674
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: it's likely the tires will still be a few ps

675
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: i under inflated. Very good words, all right, so you

676
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: know you may start out in the morning the lights

677
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: on you drive to work. Is the tire heats up,

678
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: it expands, it builds up more pressure. The light goes out,

679
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 1: doesn't mean the tire is inflated. Properly, get it checked

680
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: and make sure that you're following the minimum manufacturers placard

681
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: plus a couple of pounds this time and you're isn't

682
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: gonna hurt. More information from the Car Care Council at
