Speaker 1: Ron Anium, Chrysler's in trouble. The article I read said

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: Chrysler Chrysler as Chrysler, not Ram, not cheap. But Chrysler

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: only makes one vehicle. Now here in the realm. They're

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:15,200

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: you replace the transmission?

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Well, what I would do is, once I determined that yes,

Speaker 1: a little bit about the shop this week. I want

Speaker 1: store that's about to open and lay that on you. You

Speaker 1: can find it at cardoctorshow dot com. But right now

Speaker 1: the phones are backed up, so we're going to take

25
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: one right out of the gate. Let's go to David

00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: in California. David, Welcome to the Car Doctor. Sir, how

27
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: can I help Hi?

28
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: Ron, thank you for taking my call. A great, great show.

29
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 3: I thank you for your show and I just love it.

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: Thank you.

31
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: I hope you can help me out. I have a question.

32
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 3: I have a collection of older cars back in the eighties,

33
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 3: very nice cars, and I'm very fond of them. My

34
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 3: question is the smog shops up here in California are

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 3: getting harder and harder to smag these old vehicles. The

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 3: previous small shop I went to, their machine broke down,

37
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: and they're not going to spend the thirty thousand dollars

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 3: to do these old vehicles. Some of the shops up

39
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: here aren't doing anything under two thousand because they take

40
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: too long and they're just not worth it. My question

41
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: is California is not going to exempt these old vehicles

42
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 3: because they want um off the road. What's going to

43
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: happen when I can't find anything is smogget but I

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 3: have to take it to a referee or maybe down

45
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: to Sacramento.

46
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: Or move to New Jersey. I know this guy in North.

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: Jersey, I want to get out of California.

48
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: Tell you what, you know, it's California is a crazy state.

49
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: To me, I don't understand California on a sort of

50
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: bigger scale. I you know, I understand why they want

51
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 1: clean air, and I understand the problems that certain parts

52
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: of California have with pollution. But to me, it's it's unrealist.

53
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: It's an unrealistic approach because, yes, you're correct. You know,

54
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: how often do you drive these cars made made, made

55
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: in the eighties, you know.

56
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 3: Well, I've got a collection of me so I don't

57
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: drive them every day that most of them are just

58
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: Sunday drivers. They're all licensed, they're all insured, but they're

59
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: just they don't they're not daily drivers. No very nice cars.

60
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: And to my California wants them off your road. Right.

61
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: There's a time where they used to exempt these old vehicles,

62
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 3: you know, every two years, but they're not doing that anymore.

63
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: You see, they want them off the road.

64
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: And I under I don't understand the politics of it

65
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: because New Jersey, if it's made before a certain time,

66
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: framing your your eighties automobiles would certainly qualify. There is

67
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: no inspection for him anymore. Pre nineteen ninety five in

68
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: New Jersey there is no inspection. Actually old actually some

69
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: of the vehicles even even newer than that, certain model years,

70
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: certain gvws, those vehicles are exempt. And they realized.

71
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: That California used to do that every every four years

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: or three years. They used to go, okay, seventy two

73
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: to seventy four, no more smog, right, and then seventy

74
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: four to seventy six. They're not doing that anymore. They

75
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 3: got that right.

76
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: The road well, and the problem becomes the reason you

77
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: can't find a smog shop is because they need I'm

78
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: going to assume that they need a five gas emissions analyzer,

79
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: and that's there's your thirty thousand dollars. You know, it's

80
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: it's it's it used to be you you could find

81
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: an emissions machine, a five gas that would measure tail

82
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: pipe emissions everywhere. There was probably a half a dozen,

83
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: if not more, on the market. I don't think there's

84
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: more than two now, and those companies are struggling to

85
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: survive because OBD two now does the testing for you.

86
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: If the vehicle is within compliance. It's the O two

87
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: centser tells the computer where fuel trim is and so on.

88
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: No fault codes, no dashboard lights. Hey, we're good. We've

89
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: got good tail pipe of missions. They're able to now

90
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: test that vehicle down to that finite level. I think

91
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: part of California's problem, just as an outsider looking in,

92
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: is they're expecting the EV wave to take over and

93
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: they're not going to allow investment in internal combustion engines,

94
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: and you know what, they're in for a shock because

95
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: the EV thing is going to fall flat on its face.

96
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't I don't talk about it much.

97
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: If you notice, I kind of really haven't said anything

98
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: about it in the last six or eight months. And

99
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: it's just because I've decided I'm just going to take

100
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: a seat back and I'm going to watch the show,

101
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: you know. But it's it's the EV thing is very political,

102
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: and it's been driven by the current administration. That's what

103
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: they wanted. We saw how that worked out, you know.

104
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: That's part of the reason. I think they're on the

105
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: way out and the next guy's on his way in,

106
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have a little change and see what

107
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: the next regime. Does you know, I don't well, I

108
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: just you know, I'm not saying, David, I'm not saying

109
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: EV's don't have their place. I think EV's do. I

110
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: just don't think to the capacity that they want to

111
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: allow it, you know, to create it. You know, I

112
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: want to see again, I come back to some of

113
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: the things that I've said for a long time. You know,

114
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: let's put EV's in New York. Everybody in the EV

115
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: in New York has to have an EV. I want

116
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: to see how we're going to charge all these cars,

117
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: the sheer numbers. I want to see how we're gonna,

118
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, facilitate finding charging stations for all these cars.

119
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: We're going to rebuild all the parking garages and put

120
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: EV charging stations, and then we're going to build a network.

121
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: My god, the size of the case bulls, and you know,

122
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: the power requirement and everything and on and on and

123
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: on and on. Just it's just not gonna work.

124
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not against TV. I'm totally not against it.

125
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 3: I you know, I don't like to be forced to

126
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: to go against the fossil fuel. That's my thing. I

127
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 3: don't want to force. So I'm like everything you said,

128
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 3: I agree with. But my question is do you think

129
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: there will come a time ron where they're going to

130
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 3: push these California They're going to push these old cars

131
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: off the road because that's what they're doing.

132
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's I think that's where they're headed

133
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: because I do watch California for that basis, because unfortunately,

134
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: what happens in California seems to leak its way across

135
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the country. Yes, and you happen, Yeah,

136
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: I think so, I I think and you know what,

137
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: and they're in for a shock there too, because I

138
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: don't think California nor most of the rest of the

139
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: of the world realize the dollars that the automotive aftermarket

140
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: industry represents and brings to the American econ. Yeah, it's huge,

141
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: it's huge.

142
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 4: You know.

143
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: If you want to understand the depth of it, go

144
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: to Vegas in early November and go to the SEMA

145
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: or APEX trade shows and you know, just sit there

146
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: and I want to let me I've never made it around.

147
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: I've been twice. I've never I've never been able to

148
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: make a complete circuit and I've been there for a week.

149
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: You can't walk the show in a week. It's that

150
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: big and a lot of a lot of money, multiple buildings.

151
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot of money in the billions.

152
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: And you know, there's got there's got to be a

153
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: way for everybody to coexist. And that's my point.

154
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: All right, California, No, no.

155
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000

186
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: It's it's just it's it's the culture of it. And

187
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: I think that's where people fail to miss and that's

188
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: the connection. David. An absolute pleasure, sir. Yeah.

189
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 3: One thing. Yes, I grew up in the seventies, you know,

190
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: and in California. I would stay here. But it's a

191
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: totally totally different state now, totally different being in a

192
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: different world.

193
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,000

194
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: I have a few friends in southern California that tell

195
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,680

212
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: Tom yet today, and I should do that. Tom. I

213
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: just want to know you're you're about. You're about fifty

214
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: miles north of me, right in New York. Yeah, give

215
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: her take you give or take? Have you seen any

216
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: drones this week?

217
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 6: No, I haven't seen any.

218
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: I've got they're all here. In New Jersey. However, that

219
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: I do have a theory. Yeah.

220
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, that theory is that Santa is experimenting with a

221
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 6: new way to drop off gifts. So I think you

222
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 6: better like up your game for when you go to

223
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 6: the North Pole this year.

224
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm ready. Let me tell you something. I haven't

225
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: told you guys what I'm doing with Santa this year.

226
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: So but I'm ready. I do like that theory. I

227
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: have another theory, but I can't really discuss it on era.

228
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: This is gonna become a political show. But I'm curious.

229
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't think to ask David from California

230
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: if he's seen any drones, because now I hear they're

231
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: starting to appear in California, so.

232
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 6: That that I hadn't heard. I heard that they're you know, Jersey.

233
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 6: They've appeared actually south of here where I live in

234
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 6: New York, and I hear they've seen a couple in Connecticut.

235
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: Right. You know, you don't see any You don't hear

236
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: anything about drones over Florida, Texas, you know, Tennessee, you

237
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: know the states where you know Carrie permits are okay,

238
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: and you know they're afraid they're going to get shot

239
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: at so, not suggesting anything, just wondering. It's uh right,

240
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'm reading the forums. They're like, yeah, send

241
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: one to Texas, we'll get it for you at a boy. So, no,

242
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: don't shoot any drones. We're not condoning that. We're just

243
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: sort of laughing about it. Like what a crazy world.

244
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: David's complaining about Califor for you, I should have told

245
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: them moved to New Jersey. What do you see when

246
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: you get out here. Let's go to Rick in Kentucky.

247
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,599
Speaker 1: Let's get back to fixing cars. Rick, you're on with

248
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: the car doctor, Sir? How can I help?

249
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 5: Hey? Ron, how are you doing today?

250
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: Good sir? What's going on?

251
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 5: Well? I've got twenty sixteen Ford Fiesta runs great, so

252
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 5: we've got forty four thousand miles on it. I just

253
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 5: wondered if I need to have the Spark Plus change

254
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 5: just because the age, not that the mileage. And I've

255
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 5: also got a two thousand and eight Mustang GT. It's

256
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 5: got about thirty three thousand miles on it. Okay, it

257
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 5: runs great, run's brand new, but I haven't had the

258
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 5: spark Plux change and eat the vehicles, and I just

259
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 5: want us need to have them out of there so

260
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 5: they don't seize up or something. Even though it's all

261
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 5: running fine.

262
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: You're keeping them for longevity, right, for posterity, for right now.

263
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't make two thousand and eight retro Mustangs anymore,

264
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 5: and I missed I missed them when I was a

265
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 5: teenager in the seventies. Yeah, so I want to keep

266
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 5: that car along as I can. And this the other

267
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 5: fis is a work car, and I just want longevity,

268
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 5: you you.

269
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: Know, last one first, the Fiesta is a pretty simple

270
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: set of plugs to change, all right, it's eight going

271
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: on nine years old. I like the idea of time

272
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: as a qualifier, you know. And I'd be willing to

273
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: bet that if you pull the plugs out of that Fiesta,

274
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: you're going to see two things. You're going to see

275
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: some deposits, maybe maybe not, but you're going to see

276
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: some deposits on the electrode side. And I bet you're

277
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: going to see the rust ring where the ceramic and

278
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: the hex nut meat, which shows that the vapor barrier,

279
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: the water barrier inside the plug is breaking down and

280
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: allowing moisture to get out. And I like the idea

281
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: of changing things on a time basis like that, you know,

282
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: at the very least, look, you know, it'll take you

283
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: another eight Let's say you know you maintain the miles,

284
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: it'll take you another eight years to go to eighty

285
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: eight thousand miles right now. The cars now, the car

286
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: is going to be sixteen years old. Whereas if you wait, oh,

287
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, if you wait until there's a problem,

288
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: you know, and then can you get it out. Ownership

289
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: of a car to me is cost per mile. I'm

290
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: not trying to do it cheap, and I'm not trying

291
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: to be elaborate. I'm just trying to keep it safe

292
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: and lower my minimum maintenance. By all for that matter,

293
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: by all means you could pull the four plugs, look

294
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: at them and go, yeah, their picture perfect, and then

295
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: for the price of a set of plugs, you know,

296
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: putting new ones in. Now, I'm going to tell you

297
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: to make sure you get you know, motorcraft or whatever

298
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: it means manufacturer respect. I wouldn't play with heat range.

299
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: And if you do this yourself, A dab of dielectric

300
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: grease on the end of the spark plug boot which

301
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: is also boot release agent, but it also helps channel

302
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: the spark so as the spark plug boot gets older

303
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: and brittle. Because you also have to consider that this

304
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: is a coil on plug vehicle that the you know,

305
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: spark goes where it's supposed to go. You know, all

306
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: the little things that we do like this dielectric, early

307
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: plug replacement and listen, a fuel system cleaning on a

308
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: forty four thousand mile vehicle all promote longevity, right, and

309
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: it's not a bad idea. So, yes, the Mustang, is

310
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: this the three valve Mustang V eight? Is this the yeah,

311
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: So this is the one where the spark plugs break, right,

312
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: just so you know, yeah, this is yeah, this is

313
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: this is the three valve. This is the three valve motor.

314
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: This is the one where the spark plugs break. So,

315
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: having said that, there's a couple of special tools that's

316
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: required if the plug does break to get it out

317
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: of the head. We've got both of them in the shop.

318
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: I think they're one hundred and fifty bucks apiece something

319
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: like that. They do work, all right, you know, it's

320
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: a matter of patience. Little little penetrant, loosen the plug,

321
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: little more penetrant, loosen the plug, work it back and forth,

322
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: and if the plug does break, the tools that they've

323
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: come up with to remove the plug do work, But

324
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: I would sure want to tackle that job when the

325
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: vehicle's in the thirties versus when it's in the hundreds.

326
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's because the issue became the problem

327
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: with why most of the plugs broke was because they

328
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: would form carbon deposits as they got older, and the

329
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: plug was so it was just a dumb design. It

330
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: just literally fell apart. So you know, if you're planning

331
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: to keep both of them, I say yes, I say

332
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: be prepared for the Mustang to be a little bit

333
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: more of a chure. You know, it's something if you're

334
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: mechanically inclined. You know, what do you what do you

335
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: do for a living? Rick? Are you? Are you good

336
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: with your hands?

337
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 5: Fairly? Well? Okay, I'm more of electrical. I'm electronic technician,

338
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 5: electrical engineer, avi onyx Right, I'm sixty seven years old.

339
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 5: I've got laid off. We had companies change over, so

340
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 5: I lost my job after thirty eight years. Build a

341
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 5: big company, but not as mechanical as I'm electrical.

342
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: Okay, well, maybe you read the instructions or go look

343
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: at a couple of YouTube video just go, just go

344
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: Google search three valve, three valve four V eight spark

345
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: plug replacement and you can look at the videos and

346
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: decide if it's for you. And I think you can.

347
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: I think I think the tools are that good that

348
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: they do make the job easier if you've got if

349
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: you've got the tooling and the time and the patients.

350
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: If not, you know, do you have a quote unquote

351
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: trusted mechanic that you can go and say, Hey, I've

352
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: got my three valve Mustang, I want you to put

353
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: plugs in it. Can you do the job?

354
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 5: Well, we've got we've got a dealership here.

355
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: I can take it too, Yeah, and then talk to

356
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: them about it. You know it. I've seen I've seen

357
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: numbers that will shock you. I've seen five hundred dollars

358
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: to put spark plugs in. I've seen one thousand dollars

359
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: to put spark plugs in. You know wow. Yeah, it's yeah,

360
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: it's crazy. It's it's just a bad design. I'll tell

361
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: you this by now. Those four techs have done more

362
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: than a few of these, so they're probably really good

363
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: at it, you know. But yeah, I vote for doing

364
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: it now, and I vote for carbon cleaning on both vehicles,

365
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: and just keep up the regular diet and you'll be

366
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: just fine. A pleasure Rick, and you stay safe. Don't

367
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: let the drums get you if they come to Kentucky.

368
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm running ay in the car doctor A five five

369
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: five six zero nine nine zero zero. We're back right

370
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: after this. We had a we had a nineteen Jeep

371
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: Cherokee in the shop this week. You know, why are

372
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: some car companies in trouble? And I hate to talk

373
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: about these things because I feel like there's hard work

374
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: in Chrysler dealers out there that are trying to make

375
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: a living, and you know, Chrysler, the parent company, is

376
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: not helping them. They're really not. But we had this

377
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: nineteen Jeep Cherokee in the shop this week with the

378
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: V six, and it had an oil filter leaked the housing.

379
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're aware, but the oil filter

380
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: housing on Jeeps forever now are plastic. And I always

381
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: think back. I remember back in the seventies they talked

382
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: about how the car of the future will have plastic

383
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: engine parts and we were all like, yeah, right, how

384
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: well is that going to work out? And here we

385
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: are and they do. Of course, we're still going yeah, right,

386
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: because how well does it work out? Well? Not too

387
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: good because we're still changing plastic parts. I remember the

388
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: first part that we made out of plastic on an

389
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: engine was the valve covers. I remember plastic valve covers. Yeah,

390
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: plastic valve covers. And actually, you know who brought that

391
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: to market Jeep, right, it was the four point two

392
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: liter Jeep. They made a long remember that long plastic

393
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: valve cover and it was really kind of dopey. I

394
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: challenge you go look up. I'm trying to remember the years.

395
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: I want to say, like eighty two, eighty three, Go

396
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: look up a valve cover gasket for an eighty two

397
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: Jeep CJ with the four point two leader with the

398
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: plastic valve cover. There's no gasket. You won't find a

399
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: gasket listed. Because they put this rubber bead, this of

400
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: RTV or some version of our TV on the cover

401
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: and set it in place and that was it and

402
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: it was removable until the plastic cover. They discovered that

403
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: the long piece of plastic would warp like a two

404
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: by four, and you know, it sprung right, and so

405
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: you'd go to put it back on, it was twisted

406
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: in the wrong direction and then the thing leaked all

407
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: over the place. And if I'm not mistaken, it was

408
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: those early to mid eighties jeeps that were catching fire.

409
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: They had they actually had a couple of bulletins on

410
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: them because the valve cover would leak so badly all

411
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: the hot engine oil would leak out onto the really

412
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 1: hot exhaust manifold. There's a genius idea, and you know

413
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: we'd have we'd have well, not that we have minor fires.

414
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: We'd have fires and more than a few. Maybe it

415
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: might have been the seventies, seventies or eighties. It's you know,

416
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: Tom's writing to me is at an early Tesla. No,

417
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: that's not an early Tesla's. That's another story onto itself.

418
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: But jeep just doesn't seem to have the engineering that

419
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: it once did. So they're making this oil filter adapter

420
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: out of plastic. Now to get to this oil filter adapter,

421
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: which is the housing for the oil filter, it's the

422
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: entire oil cooler oil filter. It sits in between the

423
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: valley of the intake manifold, between the two cylinder heads.

424
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: You have to remove the upper intake the lower intake

425
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: to get to the adapter, and then the adapter comes

426
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: out you have to change the O ring gaskets down

427
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: at the bottom. Then you reassemble the whole shmear. There's

428
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: two there's two cinders in there. There's an oil pressure switch,

429
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: there's a coolant temp switch because you're also into coolant,

430
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: so which means you also have to drain coolant out.

431
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: So all because of this piece of plastic, you're into

432
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: all the systems of the engine. You're into a couple

433
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: of different fluids of the engine. And it's at eighty

434
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: six thousand miles. The last coiller that we had about

435
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: spark plugs triggered this in my head, triggered this conversation.

436
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: So you're at eighty six thousand miles. This vehicle was

437
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: eighty six thousand miles. You're going to call for spark

438
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: plugs to replace at one hundred. But to do spark

439
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: plugs on this Jeep V six, like so many engines today,

440
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: you have to take off the upper intake manifold. So

441
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now you're doing spark plugs an

442
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: oil filter adapter on this five year old vehicle. And

443
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: you say to yourself, well, you know, if I'm doing

444
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: spark plugs, the back three ignition coils have to come

445
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: out to do the spark plugs that I'm doing because

446
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm taking off the oil filter adapter? Do I do

447
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: the three spark plugs? And I'm sorry? Do I do

448
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: the three ignition coils? And if I do the three

449
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: ignition coils in the back, I guess I do the

450
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: three ignition coils in the front. So, because of a

451
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: leaking oil filter adapter which was made out of plastic,

452
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: because that's what Jeep decided to design it. As you're

453
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: now doing six plugs, six coils, and all of a

454
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: sudden you've got a three thousand dollars repair bill. Now

455
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: you can get that oil filter adapter out of Dorman.

456
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: Dorman makes it an aluminum, which is our preferred method

457
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: to go to. They make a much It's a much

458
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: better product. At least you won't have to do it again.

459
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: You'll do it once. And kudos to the aftermarket. You know,

460
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: there's certain things the aftermarket just does really well where

461
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 1: they will they will take a part and Dormant is

462
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: really good at this right Dorman Products, Doormanproducts dot Com.

463
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: Dormant is really good at this. They will take, you know,

464
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: an aftermarket part that has its weak engineering flaw in it,

465
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: which is what I consider that, and they will redesign

466
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: it and redesign it in a way that you know,

467
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: makes it better. But I scratch my head, I say,

468
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: why couldn't the factory engineer do that? You know, is

469
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: it a cost thing? Is it a you know, we

470
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: we we need to we need to engineer this part

471
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: so it'll go just outside of warranty, which is a

472
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: startling fact. But it seems like most of them break

473
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: just out of warranty, and you know, have they engineered

474
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: it now? Have they gotten it down to the point

475
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: where they can, you know, tell you, hey, this part's

476
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: gonna faill in the seventy thousand or eighty thousand mile range.

477
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: It's out a warranty at sixty. That's good. Let's do that.

478
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: It uh, it just it just makes you wonder. But yeah,

479
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: that was that was an interesting repair from the shop

480
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: this week. We we we were kind of scratching our

481
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: heads at that just I mean, we've done it before.

482
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's sad every time we see it.

483
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm also happy to report research Kathy and her Trailblazer

484
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: are still trucking along. Her transcooler lines that we were

485
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: talking about last week still work. And you know she's

486
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: considering car replacement. She just can't find anything big enough.

487
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: You know, Kathy likes a big car for whatever reason,

488
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: and you know she's out trying to She's out trying

489
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: to find, you know, the big one to you know,

490
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: make her happy when she drives and rides. So that's

491
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: in the that's in the news too. Carpenter Bob is alive.

492
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: I haven't given you a Carpenter Bob Live update of

493
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: Carpenter Bob Update Live yet. You know, I haven't talked

494
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: about Bob in a while. He's still poking around. Matter

495
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: of fact, we did brakes on his van this week.

496
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: He's still a character. I gotta tell you. He you know,

497
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: said to me, Hey, Ron, my van's got a break pulse.

498
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: I think it needs break. So I took it for

499
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: a ride around the block. When my knee hit my

500
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: chin when I stepped on the brake pedal from the pulse.

501
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, Bob, I said, how long has it

502
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: been like this? Well, it's been happening. It's been coming

503
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: on slowly. It's it's been a gradual kind of thing.

504
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: So we did break away that van is still running.

505
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: That van is still running. Oh my god. Yeah, well no,

506
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: not that van, not the not the four, not the

507
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: e three fifty. Oh okay, yeah, Bergen County banned that

508
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: that they won't let that, they wouldn't let that van

509
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: on the road. That van actually went bye bye. It's

510
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: got to be ten years ago. We could literally take

511
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: But for those of you who knew to the show, carpenter,

512
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: Bob has been my lifelong handy man. He's kind of

513
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: like Eldon on Murphy Brown. Right, remember the TV show

514
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: Murphy Brown where Elden the painter was always painting Murphy

515
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: Brown's house. Well, Bob's always working on my house, or

516
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: he's always working on the shop because it takes it

517
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: takes the four days of thinking to do one day

518
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: of working, as I affectionately tell him. And he had

519
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: an eighty four nineteen eighty four Ford e three point

520
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: fifty van that I believe it went to four hundred

521
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: and eighty eight thousand miles. Uh, you know, four transmissions,

522
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: three sets of timing chains, two carburetors, you know, it

523
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: was all major components that failed. But this thing was

524
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: just a bruiser. It went almost half a million miles.

525
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: But you know, they we kind of had to take

526
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: it off the road when you could literally take the

527
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: rear rockers, you know that as a van, but you

528
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: could go to the passenger side or driver's side wheel

529
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: well and pull the body away from the frame and

530
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: the substructure because there was no it was just rust.

531
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: There was. You drive down the road and the back

532
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: fenders of the van would flare out like a bird

533
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: spreading its wings. It looked like it was getting ready

534
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: to take off. And I was behind him one day

535
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: and I watched this happen and I told him that.

536
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: I said, Bob, it's time. Why what's the matter? I go, well,

537
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: don't you notice this? He goes, Yeah, that's the aerodynamic

538
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: brake system. He says. It kind of slows me down.

539
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: I don't that the breaks is much. It's like a

540
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: built in parachute. I just still a character after all

541
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: these years. God love them. Anyway, eight five five five

542
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: six zero nine nine zero zero mrun any of the

543
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: card doctor, I'll be back right after this.

544
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 4: Come in by.

545
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: Right up.

546
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 4: With Adam. Thing.

547
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: You know. Every once in a while Tom puts up

548
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: a call description that I just can't wait to get

549
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: to and this one's right up there with it. It's

550
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: a it's about a nineteen hunday that transflut was changed.

551
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: But he wrote woodpecker sound from ac bench. That's the

552
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: description I'm working with here, folks. So let's let's see

553
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: what this call turns into. This is Rose in Delaware. Rose,

554
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: welcome to the car doctor. How can I help?

555
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 5: Thank you very much, Ron, You're welcome.

556
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 4: Yes, I love this Hyundai Ion. It it's a hybrid

557
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 4: and get great gas piles on it, fifty four miles

558
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 4: per gallon. And I just had it in for transmission

559
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 4: fluid change. And since they did the transmission fluid change

560
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks later, it started just sporadically giving

561
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 4: this really loud woodpecker sound, almost like an airplane taking

562
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 4: off or something. It goes like that for maybe thirty

563
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 4: seconds and then cuts out and maybe it doesn't come

564
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 4: back for a couple of days. But I know I

565
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,239
Speaker 4: need to take it back and have them look at it.

566
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 4: But I was wondering if it had anything to do

567
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 4: with the HVAC system or I think it's it's something

568
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 4: that they had placed.

569
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: No, I think it's more likely with the HVAC system

570
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't right away after the trans service correct it

571
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: drove a couple.

572
00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 4: Of days, yes, yeah, maybe a week or.

573
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: I just think it's coincidence, you know, when it happens.

574
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: Have you tried changing position or controls on the HVAC

575
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: system or turning it off?

576
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 4: Yes, I've done all that.

577
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: Does it does it change anything?

578
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 4: But like I said, well, it's hard to say because

579
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 4: it makes that noise and then it goes away. So

580
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 4: I don't know changing the the dials or the modes

581
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 4: are having any impact. Really, It's hard to say.

582
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: What if you just turn it off? Can you turn

583
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: it off? Is it faster to turn it off just

584
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: and you know, does it Does it make an immediate

585
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: change to it?

586
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 4: That's a good question. I don't that's a good question.

587
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 4: I don't know that I've ever tried turning it totally off.

588
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 4: I was changing the modes like from a AC to

589
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 4: heat to whatever.

590
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: Right and then and then try that And then for

591
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: that matter, can you pull over to the shoulder you

592
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: know obviously be safe doing it. Can you pull over

593
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: to the shoulder and just put the car in park

594
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: with the noise happen just sitting there in park or

595
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: neutral for that matter.

596
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 4: Okay, right, I can try that as well. Right now,

597
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 4: it's not doing it, but that's that's a good suggestion

598
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 4: as well.

599
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean, unless it's just you know, this is coincidence

600
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: and it's really coming from under the hood, and you know,

601
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: unless I'm gonna be I'm gonna be dramatic here, because

602
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: I don't believe this to be true, unless the kid

603
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: left the transfill funnel underneath the hood and it's banging

604
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: against the firewall and you're hearing inside the car, you know,

605
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: which I don't think is possible. It's just just you know,

606
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: in the back of my mind, I've seen stranger things,

607
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, as a possibility, but I think you're gonna

608
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: find it almost sounds like we would also sometimes refer

609
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: to it or describe it as a machine gun staccato

610
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: type of a sound, a constant tap tap tap tap

611
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: tap in rapid succession. And what we usually find is

612
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: one of the Blend door motors or one of the

613
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: Mode door motors. They they run they run underhood h

614
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: VAC heating, ventilation, air conditioning controls. They use these little

615
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: actuator motors that you know basically they you know, you

616
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: command it to a certain position by moving a button

617
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,959
Speaker 1: which changes a voltage requirement or setting, and it changes

618
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: the position of the blend door and so forth. And

619
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,959
Speaker 1: you know, once in a while, the gears in that

620
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: motor strip because they're made out of high quality plastic

621
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, and they just you know, So that's where

622
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: I think you're going with this.

623
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I thought it might have something to do

624
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 4: with a fan, you know, the fans the blower fan

625
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 4: in it, right, was hitting something as well?

626
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: Have they did they when they did the trans fluid?

627
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: Did they do a cabin filter? By chance?

628
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 4: I don't believe that they did, because I didn't see

629
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 4: it on the doing.

630
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, because it's.

631
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 4: Because this is the second time I've had transmission fluids

632
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 4: right done, and they did change the cabin filter the

633
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 4: last time, right.

634
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes they change a cabin filter, not just

635
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: the deal. Anybody can happen to anybody, depending upon how

636
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: overloaded the system is with leaves and debris and pine

637
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: needles and stuff. As careful as you are, something gets

638
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: into the blower cage, and you know, sometimes it falls

639
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: out of suspension and it just starts to rattle around

640
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: and make noise. So that's always a which is part

641
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: of the reason why you know, every service something comes

642
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: in we have it on a ticket. Clean out debris,

643
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: cowl make sure because number one, that's not good for

644
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: the blower. The filter will get overloaded early. And number two,

645
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: you're going to smell that over time, and that's not

646
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: good for you as the operator of the vehicle. So

647
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: I would tell you get it back to them, let

648
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: them take a listen to it. And you know, ask

649
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: me about the cabin filter too. We should be doing

650
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: cabin filters every fifteen to twenty more and worse environments.

651
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: But I'm finding fifteen to twenty thousand miles is a

652
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: good rule of thumb. Let me know what happens. I'm curious,

653
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: where does the woodpecker go rose and where does it

654
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,959
Speaker 1: come from? And we look forward to the answer. I'm

655
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: Ron an Ay and the car doctor. We'll be back

656
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: right after this. Hey, let's finish here. This comes to

662
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: to it. The truck's now six years old. What do

663
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: you think I should be doing? Is there any maintenance

664
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: I need to do? Get this truck ready before winter?

665

00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: high dose concentrate that helps with seatane and cleaning the

673
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: system and protecting the tank and lines to prevent future damage.

674
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: You typically use it once every six months, six thousand

675
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: miles something like that, depending upon your time frame how

676

Speaker 1: It increases the quality of the diesel fuel that's burning,

680
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 1: so to speak. It helps supplement and boost it. It's

681
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: like a it's like an additive package for the diesel

682
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: fuel and it helps keep water and deposits from gathering

683
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: and forming in the fuel system. There's also EDT everyday

684
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: treatment Winter defense that's plus winter defense that's if the

685
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: system goes below thirty two degrees, it prevents fuel gelling.
