1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Ron Anian, it's not over till it's over. You don't

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: know until the car is fixed. If that's all it's over.

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: Did you say over? Nothing is over until we just

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: said it is, the Car Doctor. There's no access from

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: the inside. It has have to remove the tank to

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: get to it. Yeah, there is if you want to

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: get a whole saw and a hole through the floor.

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't think so. Welcome to the

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: radio home of ron and Nanian the Car Doctor. Since

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: this is where car owners the world overturned to for

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If your mechanics giving

12
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: you a busy signal, pick up the phone and call

13
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: in the garage doors are open, but I am here

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: to take your calls at eight five five six and

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: now he running? Was it over? When the Germans bomb

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor? Leave Maloney's rolling? I always wanted to say

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: that one. Hello and welcome Ronny in the Car Doctor

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: at your service. Um, great movie, Tom, Thanks for the clip.

19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: You know it's funny. Today's open, right? Is that? And

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: Tom and I don't really commiserate on opens. I just

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: kind of let him do his thing and whatever he

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: wants to do. He does, and I do my thing.

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: It's and somehow the magic of this show just works.

24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: I want to talk about a jeep Wrangler that we

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: worked on this week that you know it's over when

26
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: it's over. And this particular vehicle came in with a

27
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: complaint of poor heat. The heat just wasn't getting hot

28
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: enough rolled in the door and it had a couple

29
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: of things going on. The tire pressure light was on,

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: the check engine light was on, the airbag light was on,

31
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: and it had poor heat. Well, something I've incorporated into

32
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,279
Speaker 1: the repair process at the shop in the last gosh,

33
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: it's got to be eight or nine years now, is

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: when we scan for codes, we scan everything. We want

35
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: to look at every available module on the vehicle. We

36
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: want to get a complete, overall picture of health because really,

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's not it's not secular. You don't want

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: to be just down and single out just one particular

39
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: component because components work together and there can be similar

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: problems created by you know, more than one component. This

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: jeep had an air bag fault unrelated to anything we

42
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: were working on, but at least we knew there was

43
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: a there was a fault registered in the airbag clock

44
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: spring on the driver's side. Great, you know what, it's

45
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: noted it down. The customer didn't want to fix it.

46
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: That's okay, you know that the the onus is off us.

47
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: It's it's it's not about us anymore. It's you know,

48
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: here's your air bag. It probably needs a clock spring, great,

49
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: no problem. The check engine light had a piece. Was

50
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: was caused by a P zero. A P zero in

51
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: diagnostic jargon, is an indication that it's not a matter

52
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: of engine temperature necessarily not being hot enough. It's also

53
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: rate of rise how fast does it warm up, So

54
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: it can be a combination of either or. In the

55
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: case of this jeep, it was it would not maintain temperature.

56
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: It's saw low more than spec and it's it did

57
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: not see it get to the minimum mark and a

58
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: fast enough period of time. So it was actually both

59
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: thinking about it, it had both ends of the spectrum,

60
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: both ends of the possibility of the code to be

61
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: caused at what what trips the code to come on?

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: So P zero not a V six jeep. Uh, you know,

63
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: we diagnosed it and not uncommon good coolant level. Everything

64
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: seemed to be flowing correctly if you let the vehicle

65
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: idle hood down. You can get good underhood temperature out

66
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: of it. But then when you drove it, you saw

67
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: it dropped down to about a hundred sixty eight degrees,

68
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: and you said, okay, let's start with a thermostat. Thermostat

69
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: on this jeep is a complete housing. It's it's a

70
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: thermostat housing gas coot seal. They make it as a modular,

71
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: one piece component, and we looked it up, got a

72
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: piece out of motor Rat. The folks at Motorad make

73
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: an excellent thermostat for this vehicle, and you know, put

74
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: the motor Rad stat in and sure enough our engine

75
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: temperature came up to normal. It did what it was

76
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: supposed to do, solve problem No. One TPM s lide.

77
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: It really wasn't there for that. We we it was

78
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: low air, low air and the tires that the customer

79
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: didn't realize it was actually high on one side, low

80
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: on the other. Tire pressures roll over the place and

81
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: and you know what part of that problem is is

82
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: an aside to this repair. Part of that problem is

83
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: there's no place to get air and tires anymore. You know,

84
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 1: you can't pull into your corner garage, corner gas station.

85
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: Nobody's got an air pump out anymore. It doesn't seem

86
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: to exist. So, um, you know, it seems like the

87
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: federal government man data where we should all be worried

88
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: about tire pressures with tire pressure lights, and now we've

89
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: got nowhere to go to get a tire pressure check.

90
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: So just that's a that's a whole another thing. So

91
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: we solved the one problem the PZ put a motor

92
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: at thermostat in it, and uh, you know, good to go.

93
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: The second problem with still it had no heat. And

94
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: I had warned the customer of this. I said, you know, Michael,

95
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not maintaining engine heat. But one of

96
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 1: the things I noticed is that when I moved the

97
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: blend door actuator, you turn the temperature novel that is

98
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: as an electronical electrical servo control. You know, I don't

99
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: hear the door clunking, I don't hear door movement. I

100
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: don't hear like the blend or is actually doing anything.

101
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: So you know, diagnosed that too, got down, sat down

102
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: with a scan tool and it's kind of neat what

103
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: you can do with a scan tool today. Uh, you know,

104
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: it really gives you a lot of good solid information.

105
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: Got out my hotel m s A oh eight and

106
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: uh or the MAXI systs I think they call it

107
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: from hotel. And I was able to go into the

108
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: body module and you know turn the tempt control not

109
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: so imagine this if you if you look up the

110
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: information or tell it gives you the ability by virtue

111
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: of the way they lay out the information that I

112
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: could go in. I went into the body. I went

113
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: to h v A C is what it is, h

114
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: V A C module. It's controlled by the body module.

115
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: See how it gets overlapping and complicated. And I was

116
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: able to look at desired blend door position which read

117
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 1: um because I had it about mid range, but actual

118
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: blend door position was reported as zero. I cranked it

119
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: all the way up and it said desired blend or

120
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: position on actual position zero. It never moved, So I've

121
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: either got a signal problem to the actuator itself. Think

122
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: of the front door to your house. You want more

123
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: fresh area opened, the door of the air comes in.

124
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: You don't want any fresh are you close? The door

125
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: of the air stays out. The same thing with a

126
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: temperature blend door over a heater core. The door opens,

127
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: more air can flow over the heat or corput more

128
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 1: heat into the cabin. You want less heat, you close

129
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: the door. No heat comes into the cabin. And it's

130
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: controlled by a little electric servo on the side. Blended door,

131
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: right or tempt door, whichever way you want to, whatever

132
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: term you want to use. So I went down to

133
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: the actuator. No easy task, kind of take out the

134
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: knee bolster, the trans control module, move the air duct

135
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: out of the way, and found the actuator and checked

136
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: power and ground, had it had signal, had request to

137
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: put a scope on the data line, had request? You

138
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: got a bad actuator? Door moved? Okay, you always want

139
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: to look at everything. Check the door itself, does the

140
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: door pivot, does the front door to the house stick

141
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: to the you know, are the are the are the

142
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: hinges rusty in a sense? And you know, put an

143
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: actuator and solve that problem. Self calibrated. It had a

144
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: self calibrated. Chrysler is good about that. I give them

145
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: credit for that. They make it so that you can

146
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: do an easy recalibration. Roll the the the autel would

147
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: do that as well. And it gave me the ability

148
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: to go back and look. And then I got the

149
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: hotel back out and sat there and you know, cranked

150
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: a knob and went asking for a hundred degrees, it

151
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: went to a hundred, asking for a heat, it went

152
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: to halfway, went to the mid May mark fifty two um.

153
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: And it's nice. You can do that with a scan tool.

154
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: And that's my point. You have the ability with scan tools,

155
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: with certain tools now that have complete access or giving

156
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: you like original equipment manufacturer access. It gives you the

157
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: ability to look and see information. It's not like the

158
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: old days where we'd have to get out there and

159
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: track points over a scope line and look to see

160
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: that it moves so many degrees or so many steps. Um.

161
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: In a way, technology has made life easier in the service,

162
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 1: pay for diagnosing, if you're if you're using a tool

163
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: and using it properly, and the bottom line thermostat actuator,

164
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of coolant and the vehicle is finally fixed.

165
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: And it makes you say to yourself, where's bottom bottoms?

166
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: The bottom bottom is wherever it takes you. Bottom is

167
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: whatever it's got to be to fix that vehicle. It's

168
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: over when it's over, Because here's a here's a vehicle

169
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: classic right, Well, a thermostat cause poor engine heat or

170
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: low engine heat. Absolutely, Will a blend or actuator or

171
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: a tempt or actuator cause low engine heat? Absolutely? Which

172
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: problem is bad? They're both bad. And I'm not saying

173
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: this is every vehicle. I'm just saying, you know, it's

174
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: tough on a repair shop. And I get why people

175
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: ask it's tough on a repair shop. Two estimate a

176
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: course of action. What or to repair shop is really

177
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: obligated to do is they're obligated to estimate a diagnosis.

178
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: You know what, we need an hour and a half

179
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: of time, we need two hours of time, we need

180
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. We're not quite sure. Let's start with the

181
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: preliminary information for an hour. That's really what a repair

182
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: shop should be doing. You know, I know guys that

183
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: are still poking and hoping, they're they're guessing, they're unplugging things.

184
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: Does this work? Does that work? Did that make a

185
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: change of state? That's not a diagnosis? And and and

186
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: quite frankly, that's damaging not only to the customer, but

187
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: it's also damaging to the repair shop because the shop

188
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: isn't learning anything along the way because out of repair

189
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: is a is a brail method. You know, it's it's

190
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: it's it's see it, touch it, feel it. You're learning

191
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: things every day because what worked yesterday doesn't necessarily guarantee

192
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: that it will work tomorrow. When you're looking at a car,

193
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: you're always learning, You're always getting an education, and um,

194
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: you know, just very very important part of the process.

195
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: So I guess your point, your takeaway from this is

196
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: a you know, bottom is bottom doesn't have to necessarily

197
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: be just changing one part or you know, having one problem.

198
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: And you know it's also a case of you got

199
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: a diagnose, you got a diagnose from the beginning and

200
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: look at everything and um, you know that'll that'll solve

201
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: it all for you. So here's a vehicle airbag light,

202
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: check engine light, TPMs light and a blend or problem

203
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: that wasn't even listed anywhere on the dashboard if you

204
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: want to think of it like that, and it still

205
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: had a mechanical failure of the actuator, yet it didn't

206
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: set a code. So just uh, cars are getting complicated.

207
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: Hello and welcome. I'm Ron and any in the car

235
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: let's do some emails real quick. Let's go through the

236
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: pile because the list is getting big. Bruce writes in

237
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Ron awesome show always learned something. What's the name of

238
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: the paint you use on the hot Rods frame Benjamin

239
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: More low luster alkalid. We've got a picture of it

240
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: kicking around somewhere. As a matter of fact, there's a

241
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: picture of it up on the car doctor Facebook page.

242
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: And um, it's a d t M direct to metal

243
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: type of paint. It's in a blue and silver. Can

244
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: we always buy the courts the quart size cans if

245
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: I remember writes about it's like thirty bucks something like that,

246
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: and um, you know it works really well. There's minimal

247
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: surface prep. It's it's but keep in mind brucing everybody

248
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: else the Benjamin More low luster alkali. You know it's

249
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: not sold as a RUSS preventative. It's sold as a

250
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: rust inhibitor. And you know the difference is somewhere along,

251
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: somewhere along the way, somewhere down the line. Yeah, you know,

252
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: it might allow moisture in, it might break down over time.

253
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: I've got to say that in the eleven years it's

254
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: on the rather hot rather eleven years old now, and

255
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,599
Speaker 1: you know we've actually ten years old. We finished it

256
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: in eleven a. You know it's it really hasn't but

257
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't go out in all kinds of

258
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: crazy weather. However, I will say this on the plow

259
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: truck and all the plot trucks, and I've been using

260
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: it on plow trucks longer than I've been using it

261
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: on hot rods. Once I painted, it stays there. And

262
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: the nice thing about the Benjamin More low luster alkali

263
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: paint is it'll stick the chicken feathers. So it just

264
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: never it just never seems to fall off. So good stuff. Um,

265
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: so you can take a look at that. Let's go

266
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: over and let's go talk to real quick. I'll come

267
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: back to the email. Let's go talk to Brian in

268
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: Long Island and see what's going on here. Brian. Welcome

269
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: to the car doctor, sir. How can I help? Hey?

270
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: How you doing? I got caddy. I let it sit

271
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: around the garage for you know, maybe a couple of

272
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: months and then I go to start it, and you know,

273
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: I try, Well, it's got the the pew pump that

274
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: it won't kick him right away, So I just keep

275
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: cranking until the oil goes off. Is that the best

276
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: way to go on like that? I think so? I mean,

277
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: short of you know, trying to prime the pump and

278
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: go through all that, I don't think it's gonna matter

279
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: at this point. There is a certain amount of cling

280
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: factor to oil. I would think probably the bigger concern

281
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: I'd have as being is that it's an older vehicle.

282
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard finding correct oil for that, so

283
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: make sure you're using you know, I'll call it classic

284
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: car oil. You know I put regular oil. The other

285
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: classic car does that have zinc in it? Well, what

286
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: I would do is here's what Here's what I want

287
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: you to do. Um, go out to the internet. Go

288
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: to castrol dot com. They actually they actually manufacture a

289
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: wide I was just out there this week. They actually

290
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: manufacture a wide variety of viscosities and they actually list

291
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: the ones that are classic. We'll call it classic car

292
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: rated with zinc and you'll find that information there. But yeah,

293
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: you know, zinc is Zinc was an important editive to

294
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: oil back up to us when we had cars back

295
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: in that generation and that in that modality. I think

296
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: that's probably more important then, you know, just as important

297
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: as cranking it over on that dry start. Now you

298
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: could also, you know, you could also set yourself up,

299
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: get a little plastic beaker, fill it with some fuel,

300
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: take the air cleaner lit off. You know where the

301
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: vent tube is in the top of the carburetor, right,

302
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: you could fill the bowl with a little bit of

303
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: fuel and then started, Well what I what I use

304
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: I was doing that. I would take a little gas

305
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: put in the carburetor so we kick right over, but

306
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: then he would kick like hell a lot. So then

307
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: I just did it without that and let the gas

308
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: just go up into it, because you take you know,

309
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: a little cranking before it ticked on, and then the

310
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: oil light would go off. So I thought maybe that

311
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: was a better way of doing Yeah, no, that's a yeah,

312
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: that's a fine way. I thought you wanted it to

313
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: get it to start faster, but no, that's that's a

314
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: fine way. You know. Brian cars are a lot like

315
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: little kids. If you listen to them long enough, they'll

316
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: tell you where it hurts, and you just have to

317
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: do what they say. You know, Um, it's so it's

318
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: not hurting it. Just keep cranking it when it's not starting, Well,

319
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: how until how long? How long are you cranking it?

320
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: Fifteen seconds? It's probably probably dirty seconds or a little

321
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: longer maybe before you know, could start. It's the fuel

322
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: pump in there, you know what kind of it's a

323
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: mechanical Yeah, it's a mechanical pump. You ought to time at.

324
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: Thirty seconds sounds like a long time, you know, I

325
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: bet you thirty seconds sounds like a long time. I

326
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: would want to see it starts sooner than that. And

327
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, the other thing is if you're using a

328
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: good quality oil and it's got the right addit is

329
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: in it here. But we're back to that castrol conversation, right,

330
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: If you're using a good quality oil that's rated for

331
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: the vehicle, then then it's gonna come back to oil

332
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: has a cling factor. You know, oil does a lot

333
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: more than than we think, and realizing that the engineers

334
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: do a lot more to it to make it do

335
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: what it's supposed to do. But if it's got if

336
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: it's the right stuff for the vehicle, it will have

337
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: a cling factor. It leads a coating on the metal

338
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: parts down at a microscopic level and you know you'll

339
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: be okay. But I wouldn't use a modern day oil

340
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: in an older engine because it may not have the

341
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: right editors and it rated for that particular component. So um,

342
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: I used to well, now is it? But is that

343
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: the right viscosity? And and then it was right? I

344
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: think right, Well, I'm not sure. Yeah, go to Castrol

345
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: right C A, S T R O L castrol dot

346
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: com or just google it and you know they've got

347
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: a listing of viscosities and they've got enough reading material

348
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: there about oil and types of oil and had to

349
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: pick and oil. They do a lot of wonderful things

350
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,959
Speaker 1: on that website. It'll uh, you know, take a cup

351
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: of coffee and you'll be there a while. So um,

Speaker 1: just thinking, you know, you had that email before from

369
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: from a listener who said, you know, only medical professionals

370
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: or are frontline employees for this Good Year contest, And

371
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: boy there's a lot of frontline employees out there, you know. Yeah.

372
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: Well no, Actually, what she was saying was she was

373
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, we should be clear and I

374
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: and as and as I expressed, you know, the Goodyear

375
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: break give him a break giveaway is frontline workers. But

376
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: we define you and I define frontline workers is essential workers.

377
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: You think anybody you know, grocery store, gasolene, clerk, delivery people, police,

378
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: fire obviously, the medical people. You know, it's it's we

379
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: think the people who your trash. Yeah, you know what

380
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: it's it's it's Goodyear Breaks. Good Year Breaks. Dot com

384
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: we we just got out. What you have to do

385

00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: and well we'll do that giveaway over the next couple

393
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: of weeks. It'll be two or three weeks before we

394
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: do it. So but you know, I think this is great.

395
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: I just absolutely think it's great. I think it is great,

396
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: and it's you know what, it's a way to elevate people,

397
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: and I think people right now need some elevation. I

398
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: think the world is kind of beaten on us. And

399
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's always good to hear success stories.

400
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: And I think I think this could be one of them.

401
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: So but I'll leave it with you. Hey, you know

402
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: who we have coming up next week? Tom, I haven't,

403
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: I haven't. You know, I haven't told you this, but

404
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: you know I reached out and we're gonna have Paul

405
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: Eisenstein on again next week. So yeah, Paul's a good guy,

406
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: and um, we're gonna be talking about it's an interesting conversation.

407
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about how and I've already had

408
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: the conversation part of the conversation with him, but now

409
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: I have to do them with it here because you know,

410
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: you can't just as Paul, Hey, do you want to

411
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: come on? He asked, Paul, do you want to come on?

412
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: He says, what do you want to talk about? And

413
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: then you actually talk about it? You know, it's never

414
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: it's never that, Yeah it is. But you know, he's

415
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: got some good insight on how the coming electrification process

416
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: is going to change the face of the automotive industry

417
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: and the front line workers there, you know, the assembly

418
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: line workers, and um, you know the changes that are

419
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: coming for that. So the listeners don't want to miss that.

420
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: Next week, Paul, Eies and Stine will be with us UM.

421
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: And what makes me think about that is I have

422
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: an email in front of me UM from her Mr Cooper.

423
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: He's a long time listener, and he writes and he says, Ron,

424
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: I don't hear anything mentioned regarding the California Executive Order,

425
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: but I want to point out a few decades ago

426
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: California instituted a very aggressive schedule for moving to low emissions.

427
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: Right well, and you know, California does need to change

428
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: their emissions or do something. Somebody was telling me, and

429
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: I think I talked about this not too long ago,

430
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: in that when the pandemic first hit that within was

431
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: it three weeks or four weeks something like that, where

432
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: this person lived, they could never see l A. And

433
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: after four weeks or whatever the time period was very

434
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: short period of time of not driving, they could see

435
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: downtown l A clear as a bell, because you know,

436
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: the air had cleared up and leaned up. So well,

437
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: So California does have the need for emissions. Mr Cooper

438
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: goes on the right. At the time, nobody knew how

439
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: to do that. But the car company has figured it

440
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: out and wouldn't have done so without the law. I

441
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: don't know if they didn't know how to do it.

442
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: I think they were trying to balance cost effective and technology. Yes,

443
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: electric cars are differently, continues to write the fifteen years

444
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: is really a very long time as far as technology goes.

445
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: It is, and I get it that we want to,

446
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, give us a point to stretch too, But

447
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm just questioning how, And I don't think it can

448
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: just fall. And this is my contention. I don't think

449
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 1: the electrification of California and the other states as they

450
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: go through this where it's only gonna be electric cars

451
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: for sale, no more internal combustion engines. Is the infrastructure

452
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: behind it? And then how will that be implemented? How

453
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: will you Oh, for example, the Waldeck train station is

454
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: two blocks from the shop. Will you electrify all those

455
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: parking stalls? There's got to be parking for two cars?

456
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: Will there be? Will will every train parking lot, you know,

457
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: have a grid put into electrify it? And who's gonna

458
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: pay for that? The taxpayers, the utility companies, the people

459
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: renting the stalls. And then there's an apartment complex down

460
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 1: the street from the shop that has parking for maybe

461
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: seventy cars. They just built it as a matter of fact,

462
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: within the last two years, how will you electrify that

463
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: parking lot and at what cost? And will you have

464
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: to rip up that parking lot because all those people

465
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: living in townhouses and condos and apartments there, they can't

466
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: run an extension court out. They have no plug and

467
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: they have no garage. And that's what I'm talking about.

468
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: That to me is the bigger concern um or a

469
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 1: very big concern. And as Mr Cooper closes out, as

470
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: far as the economic impact, computers completely changed our economy

471
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: over a period of about twenty years. Yeah, they did.

472
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: And the electric car is going to continue to change

473
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: our technology. And listen, I'm not saying it shouldn't happen.

474
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it can happen. I just hope they're

475
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: thinking about it and trying to implement it a little

476
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: bit better than just you know, boom, you have to

477
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: do this. I hope somebody's thinking and um. Personally, what

478
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: I see sometimes in California is I don't think a

479
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: lot of people are thinking. I uh, I just you know,

480
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: I just don't see common sense. But you know, you

481
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: know you mentioned you mentioned l a um. But let's

482
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: see by the end of April I had to go

483
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: to a transmitter site I have in Queens and you

484
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: come down the b QUEI which is on the east

485
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: side of New York City, and you come around this

486
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: curve in Brooklyn and you take a look and it's

487
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: like wow, all of a sudden, I could see detail

488
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: in the buildings in Manhattan and I could not have

489
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: seen that before. That's how clean the air got in

490
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: a month. And in about a month. And you know,

491
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, coming down the hill in New Jersey on

492
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: Roots seventeen, where you can all of a sudden you

493
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: see the skyline of New York City, there's no more

494
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: haze over it. It's I mean, I mean, so for

495
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: the big it is we needed, But I mean, how

496
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: do it work? How do you implement it and make

497
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: it work? And you know what I would I would

498
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: I would prefer to me, they're putting the car before

499
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: the horse. Let's implement the technology. Let's implement how we

500
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: will charge it, and then everybody will go out and

501
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: buy it right instead of in in California. Boom, that's it. Okay,

502
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: no more, no more gas engines. Hey, you're going to

503
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: raise the price of the internal combustion engine. It's going

504
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: to be more valuable, and then you're gonna put pressure

505
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: on how will the gas stations survive? So you've got

506
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: to get rid of them, and you're you're going to

507
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: start this snowboard effect of of forcing change. You know

508
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: one thing I've learned. You know, there's an old there's

509
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: an old story of wisdom about how the sun and

510
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: the wind had an argument one day and the wind

511
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: was very boastful. The wind said, you know, I can

512
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: get people to do anything I want them to do,

513
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: and the sun said, well, yeah, but so can I.

514
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: And they had this contest back and forth, and the

515
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: wind said, watch this, I bet I can get this

516
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: guy walking to take his coat off. And they both

517
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: looked at and there was somebody walking along the path

518
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: and the wind blew hard, as hard as hard as

519
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,719
Speaker 1: it could, and the heart of the wind blew the tighter.

520
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: The person grabbed their jacket and I realized we're at

521
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: the subject the cars here. But there's a little wisdom

522
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: from the car doctor. And it didn't work. The sun

523
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: set and now watch what I do. And the sun

524
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: didn't do anything. The sun just shone brightly and it

525
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: got warm, and in time the man took off his coat,

526
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: and the wind looked at the sun and said, hey,

527
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: had you do that? And he said, sometimes the sun

528
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: told the wind. You know what, Sometimes brute force isn't

529
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: the answer. A soft, gentle approach makes people do what

530
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: they need to do because they realize that it's necessary

531
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: in order to survive. I think if you applied electric

532
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: car technology in that manner. I think if you made

533
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: charging stay since, if you showed the gas companies say,

534
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, this is where your niche is now going

535
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: to be, and you can help us produce electricity. Maybe

536
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm dreaming, but you know what, to me, that makes

537
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: the most sense. Let's pull over and take a pause.

538
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: Zero zero running anating of the car doctor coming back

539
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: right after this. Welcome back when I'm naming the car doctor.

540
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: Let's get over the guy in Jersey sixteen Toyota Corolla guy.

541
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car Doctor. How can I help? How

542
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: you doing? Run a long time? Listen to great great show?

543
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: I love you, Thank you, sir. I have a question.

544
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: A Toyota Corolla. Uh it has disc in the front

545
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: drum in the back. I know it only has roughly

546
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: about twenty thousand miles on it, so I hardly use it.

547
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: But but, but, but the issue that I'm having on

548
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: is that when I step on on the brake slowly,

549
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: only slowly, I feel like a little thump and then

550
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: it stops. Doesn't always do it. Now, I made a

551
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: test where the car was actually parked running, not moving,

552
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: and it still does it. But it doesn't do it

553
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: all the time. It does it most of the time.

554
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: What could that be? Okay, in front of the car,

555
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: back of the car, excuse me, from the front of

556
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: the car or the back of the car. It's it's

557
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: hard to tell. All I do is feel it in

558
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: the brake pedal. Okay, So if you feel it in

559
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: the brake pedal, are you feeling are you feeling slopping

560
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: the linkage or something in the master cylinder board? I mean, listen,

561
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to be affecting the operation. But obviously

562
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: we're concerned because it's it's we're concerned because it's breaks.

563
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: Do this pull up on the parking brake. Do you

564
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: ever use the parking break? Never pull up on the

565
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: parking brake. Make sure the parking brake holds, you know,

566
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: parking on a little of an in client, pull up

567
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: on the parking break, put it in neutral, does the

568
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: car roll no good? You know, the parking break is working.

569
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: The rear brakes are locked on. Step on the brake.

570
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: Do you still feel it? If you still feel it,

571
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: it's not in the rears. I'm just trying to eliminate things,

572
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: all right, Okay, it's not in the rears, because the

573
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: rear shoes are already out. If if, if you can't

574
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: duplicate the noise ever with the parking break on, and

575
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you feel it in your foot. Is

576
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: it the shoe dragging itself over the backing plate in

577
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: the rear of the vehicle. Maybe the shoes need to

578
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: be lubricated against the backing plate where they pivot. Okay,

579
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: but if if the if the if the sensation is

580
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: still there, then I would get under the I would

581
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: get under the dash, and I would take a look

582
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: at all the linkage, the clevist pin and the crossbar

583
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: where it comes out, going to the push rod, going

584
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: to the master, going to the booster, to make sure

585
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: that you know, nothing is loose, worn, falling out and dangerous. Okay,

586
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: I I mean so basically just started about a week

587
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: and a half ago. Run I mean the car, it start,

588
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't swear, there's no lights on the dish or

589
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: nothing right. Well, that's why I say, this could just be.

590
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: This could just be a straight up mechanical failure of

591
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: some type. Could be something webbing, It could be you know,

592
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: it could be a wiring harness fell down and it's

593
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: laying against the linkage rot until you get under the

594
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: dash and look, or until you start to eliminate front

595
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: or back, You're just not going to know. So do

596
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: that with the parking break and if it still doesn't,

597
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: give me a call, wild brainstorm again together. I appreciate

598
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,239
Speaker 1: the call guy. Thank you. Liz in Missouri eighty eight

599
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: Nissan pickup truck, loss of power. Liz, how can I help? Yeah, Um, yeah,

600
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: I was um going up the hill the other day

601
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: and I it's a manual transmission and I was going

602
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: up the hill the other day and I lost power

603
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: and I'm like, so I downshifted and it still was,

604
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, kind of spitting and stuff, and you know,

605
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: I finally got you know, after I topped the hill,

606
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: I finally got it to you know, speed up. But

607
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: it's still it still has lots of power. And a

608
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: friend came over, and we we checked the spark plugs,

609
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: We checked the spark plug wires, um the number one

610
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: cylinder spark plugs a little you know, yeah, yeah, a

611
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: little foul, and but we we still had firing. And um,

612
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: the coil had been replaced before because we had a

613
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: similar problem, you know, with it, you know, acting up,

614
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: not running right, and that solved it at the time.

615
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: But now we've got a problem again and we don't

616
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: know if it's maybe the power transmitter, or if it's

617
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: down in the distributor maybe that crank tilt sensor or

618
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Liz, don't go away. Let me

619
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: pull over, take a plause. I don't want to rush this.

620
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I'll give you some good info. Make sure

621
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: you have a pencil and paper ready. I'm running any

622
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: in the car doctor. We'll be back right after this

623
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: welcome back. The name of the car doctorate your service

624
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: at zero. Liz, you're still there, Okay. So you know,

625
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot we could talk about. This is an

626
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: eight right, thirty two years old, so there's a few

627
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: things that could be wrong here. Um, so let's let's

628
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: just cover that. Let's just cover the basics in the time.

629
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: We've got you know, V six or four cylinder, four cylinder,

630
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: so you've got one spark plug that I guess we'll

631
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: use the technical term schmutze. It's kind of like got

632
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: crud forming on the one end. So before we before

633
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: we go anywhere and spend any money, can we do

634
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: a compression test? Do we have do you have the ability?

635
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: Does your does your friend have any tools that he

636
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: could just do it? Yes, he does, and he may

637
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: be back today or tomorrow because he didn't have it

638
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: with him. He's going to bring it back and do

639
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: a compression test. Right, So let's do a compression test.

640
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: And you know, I could give you the number I

641
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: can tell you, and the number I recall is being

642
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: quite high. I typically used to see those back in

643
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: the day. Compression was around a hundred eighty pounds or higher.

644
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: But what I'm looking for is more uniformity. If they

645
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: were all one sixty, I wouldn't be upset. If three

646
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: of them were one fifty and one of them is

647
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: a hundred, yeah, that's a concern. If you get my point.

648
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 1: You know, I'm looking for uniform Now, if they're all

649
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: one hundred, that's an issue too. So I would say,

650
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: I would say, we want to accept minimum compression of

651
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: P S I, but I would expect better. But I'm

652
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: looking for them to all be within you know, you

653
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: of each other five to eight percent of each other. Okay,

654
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: so let's let's let's look at Let's look at compression.

655
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 1: Could we have a restricted exhaust? Could something be breaking

656
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: up muffler, catalytic converter, Could something be causing an exhaust restriction.

657
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: Maybe your friends got a vacuum gauge and he can

658
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: look at, he can look at he can look at

659
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: manifold vacuum. Manifold vacuum on any engine. You know, I

660
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: always try to teach everybody and listen, being specific about

661
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: general mechanical laws. You know, manifold vacuum it idol and

662
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: an older vehicle like that, you're gonna see between sixteen

663
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: and eighteen inches of vacuum it idol. As you accelerate

664
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: down the road, it'll dip as you put your foot

665
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: into it, it'll go down to ten eleven inches of vacuum,

666
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: eight inches of vacuum. But is your cruising down the

667
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: highway trying to make the hill, you'll go back up

668
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 1: the sixteen eighteen and maybe higher. As you put your

669
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: foot into it further, it'll drop. So just maybe do

670
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: a vacuum test. All right, last spark timing, good timing change.

671
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: And then also you're looking at ignition. How does the

672
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: distributor cap look? How does the rotor look? Do those things?

673
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: Call me back next week. Don't just start changing parts.

674
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this. We can diagnose it through. I

675
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: appreciate the call. I'm not anating in the car doctor,

676
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: reminding you the mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
