Speaker 1: radio show is and has been about the past twenty

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: seven years. A long time ago. I think I was

36
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: better looking then. Um, I want to talk about Tesla.

37
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: Do you no comment from Tom? That's because Tom's alone

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: in the booth today and I got uh the often imitated,

39
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: never duplicated one and only no bologning, not a phony,

40
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: Thomas Ray the third. How are you today? Tom? It's

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's good man. UM, that's good. I appreciate

42
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: you taking the time to be with me. Otherwise I'd

43
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: be here by myself, and that would be scary. Well,

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: you know people would hear exactly, yeah, that would be

45
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: you know, but you know you said this, this was

46
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: a twofold business. And why did you give me specific

47
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: instructions on the shirts you want folded here? Well, because

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, I I want to get everything done. It's

49
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: we're getting ready for the annual company picnic and the

50
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: uniform of the day will be T shirts. So I've

51
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: got Lucy the Wonder Dog in here with me. She's sleeping.

52
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: I think she's getting old. She's like eight now, really, yeah,

53
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: she's getting Yeah, she's worn out. We were throwing the

54
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: ball for the backyard of the studio and um, I

55
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: think we've worn her out. So either that or either

56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: that or she's typical at the audience. I'm putting everybody

57
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: to sleep today. Yeah, I could be um or talk

58
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: about Tesla. Eddie goid as good as capital. It keeps

59
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: me abreast of what's going on with with with Tesla,

60
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: and it's and it's interesting, you know, it's an interesting article.

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: Tesla stopped a break and role test as it pushed

62
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: to hit Model three goals. I'm not sure where Tesla

63
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: is going all right, and it's kind of scary some

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: of the stuff you eat, and that's what's here. You know,

65
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 1: I get it. I think I think very long term plan.

66
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: If they can survive and produce enough money, I think

67
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: companies like Tesla, we'll take us to the planets. The

68
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: idea of electric and alternate fuel vehicles and things like that,

69
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: I think that's going to happen. But it's the learning

70
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: curve down here that sort of scares me. Tesla has

71
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: decided to skip of breaking role test and the manufacturing

72
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: of its Model three vehicles. The Model three, for those

73
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: of you that may not know, is a key piece

74
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: of product for Tesla. They're really struggling with it and

75
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: trying real hard to get it to work, because it's

76
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: it's the bread and butter car. It's you know, it's there.

77
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: It's their Chevy and Palace, so to speak. It's it's

78
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: the car that everybody can drive and own and operate

79
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: and so forth, and it's it's it's the cheapest of

80
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: the line, Tesla says, it's model it tests the Model

81
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: three breaks in alignment and other parts of the factories

82
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: of the tests were redundant shares in the electric vehicle

83
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: maker plunged by six percent or more on Tuesday and

84
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: midday training. This camp to us from July three just

85
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: be to this middle of this week as it pushed

86
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: to hit electric vehicle production targets for the quarter, test

87
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: that decided to skip break and role testing for its

88
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: Model three sedan and its Fremont factory. The news was

89
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: first reported by Business Insider. The company managed to meet

90
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: a self imposed deadline to produce five thousand Model three

91
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: cars in a week after several quarters of missing its goals,

92
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: but Testlas stock plunged by more than seven percent to

93
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: the day the article changed it. Like other automakers, the

94
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: company is facing tarifts that will take on Friday, that's yesterday,

95
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: And yesterday the cfr A downgraded the stock from hold

96
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: to sell, saying the company's birtht production rate for its

97
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: Model three won't be sustainable. You gotta wonder what is

98
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: the long term capability of Tesla. You know, you see

99
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: them on the road. They look nice, but are they

100
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: able to are they able to really deliver? On the

101
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: plus side, you think about how many of them are

102
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: out there, and and what kind of technology it is,

103
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: and how many problems are we having Okay, the ones

104
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: we're having problems with, you know, bursting into flames and

105
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: and and some of the other issues. Yeah, that's sort

106
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: of a problem. But just I'm just here to report

107
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: the facts, folks. That's it. Every car we build goes

108
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: through rigorous quality checks, the company recently told c CNBC,

109
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: and must meet exact inspects, including break tests. To be

110
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: extremely clear, Tesla says we drive every Model three on

111
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: our test track to verify breaking, torque, squeal, and rattle.

112
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,119
Speaker 1: There are no exceptions. That has not yet said whether

113
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: or not or when the tests may be reinstated, according

114
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: to test the workers at the Fremont, California factory, they

115
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: also conduct the Lineman checks on the g A three

116
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: or General Assembly Line three, using a system that was

117
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: designed in house. All vehicles have their brakes and alignment

118
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: tested on site after they're fully assembled and before they

119
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: leave the free month factory to go to a service

120
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: delivery center of the company confirmed Tesla has changed other

121
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: processes the speed of production. For instance, The New York

122
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: Times recently reported that Tesla reduced the number of spot

123
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: welds used in the Model three's underbellied by three or

124
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: six percent. Yeah, but you wonder how many spot wells

125
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: did it need. I the car is not cracking in

126
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: half or falling apart yet. Um, but that's that's to

127
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 1: us from Tesla and thanks to Eddie Coitus goit as Capital.

128
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: I've got to tell you my opinion is, and I

129
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: think it sort of ties into what I think when

130
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: somebody ask me what kind of car should I buy?

131
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: Have had people ask me how I want to buy

132
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: a Tesla? What do you think? My answer is, you know,

133
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: doesn't meet your lifestyle? How well will you? You know,

134
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: how well will it drive you where you want to go?

135
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: And how are you going to get it fixed? And

136
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: what are you gonna actually do with it? And you know,

137
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: the number one question when you're buying a car really

138
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: comes out to be who's gonna work on That's the

139
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: most important part of the car owning process, because if

140
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: if you're buying a Tesla and thinking Bob's garage down

141
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: the street is gonna work on it, You're in for

142
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: a very big and every rude shock. Uh. You know,

143
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: I think Tesla will sort their problems out, um, but

144
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: from a stock perspective, and you know, a can they

145
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: make it work perspective that's the backbreaker. Remember, it's about

146
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: making money, not necessarily making cars. That, um, that becomes

147
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: an issue. So but um, we'll just keep an eye

148
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: on that. We'll see what Tesla's got to say. I've

149
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: gotten a bunch of questions, uh this week regarding self

150
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: driving cars. Um uh, there was one here I wanted

151
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: to talk about. The fellow made a point. He said,

152
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: wait a minute, let me just find it. I can't

153
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: find it, but I can't remember the question. And he

154
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: brought out a good point. He said, you know, Ron,

155
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: you've got to remember, self driving cars are never going

156
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: to have a steering wheel or not have a steering

157
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: wheel in them. And I don't see the day when

158
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen anytime soon or anytime in the immediate future.

159
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: And I've got to agree, I think the safety factors.

160
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm amazed that they've got self driving cars and electric

161
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: vehicles and all this technology going and they give the

162
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: driver the ability to turn off the safety feature and

163
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: override it. That just boggles my mind. You know, that's

164
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: sort of like taking the taking the safety off the

165
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: gun while it's pointed at you and saying, nad, I'll

166
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: never go off. Um. You know that just doesn't make

167
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: any sense to me. I think you're just asking for trouble.

168
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: So uh, the key for self driving cars to me

169
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: limited operation, very exact specific procedures, very specific environment, and

170
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: short leash. Let's watch it and see what they do,

171
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: and um make sure that nothing bad happens or nothing nothing,

172
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: nothing additional bad happens, and maybe we'll get somewhere with it.

173
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: But we do need the technology if those have its

174
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: place eight zero running any of the car doctor we

175
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: are coming back right after this. Don't go away when

176
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: the family car needs some fixing. There's only two things

177
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: that really matter, getting the right part and getting some

178
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: gooded vice. It's a pretty safe bet that, with over

179
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: a million parts in stock, pet Boys has the right

180
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,760

183
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: or service needed. It's always good to have options and no,

Speaker 1: the pet Boys pros have it covered either way. I

185

Speaker 1: to call for car advice. Done right eight five five

187
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: five zero nine zero zero Now back to Ron Hey,

188
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: let's get back and over and talk to Lindsay from

189
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania looking for a car, Young lady, twenty six years old. Lindsey,

190
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car Doctor. How can I help Hi?

191
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: I'm actually looking for a new car, and I'm looking

192
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: for an sud kind of looking between the super Reforce

193
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: and a rap for Hybrid. But I don't really know

194
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: what's the difference between the two and which one is

195
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: better and if there's even one better than that. So

196
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: both cars are super Forester or Toyota Hybrid. Both cars

197
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: are new, right, that's what you're saying. You're looking at

198
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: buying new, Lindsay, Okay, and then and then who's who's

199
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: going to work on it? I always come back to that.

200
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: That's that's I'm guessing you're a recent college graduate. This

201
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: is like the first set of real wheels. Yeah. The

202
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: car that I have now is used and I've never

203
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: purchased a new one before, so this is totally new

204
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: for me. So I would probably check with the dealership.

205
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: That's normally what I've been doing, right, Who's who's been

206
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: working on the used car? Now? The dealer before I

207
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: have a Ford, so it's been the Ford dealership that's

208
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: been working on it. How come you're not looking at

209
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: a new Ford just out of curiosity? I don't know,

210
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: I just was looking for something different, right, right? Have

211
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: you have you been to suggestions? Have you driven the

212
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: Forester or the hybrid? I have not driven any of them,

213
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: you know, I've just been kind of looking. So, you know,

214
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: picking a new car is kind of like dating, all right.

215
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: It's it's it's sort of you know, you you've got

216
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: to go out on a bunch of dates. You've got

217
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: to decide what do you like? Not like you know,

218
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: is you know, how does it handle? And how does

219
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: it feel? I mean that's, you know, no other way

220
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: to express it, all right. You know there may be

221
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: things that you like about the car during the day

222
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: that may change at night. There may be you know,

223
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: you've got to look at you know, how do the

224
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: controls feel if you're driving along at forty miles an

225
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: hour and you know, look down, Try and find the heat,

226
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: Try and find the radio. Is it difficult to make changes?

227
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: Try and find the power windows switches. You know, you're

228
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: you're you're moving out of an older ford. How old

229
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: is the ford? What kind of ford is it that

230
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: you're driving. Okay, so you're you're you're going from you know,

231
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: probably a d C three cargo plane from to you know,

232
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna be going into the space shuttle here. All right,

233
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: this is this is a completely different animals. So there's

234
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: a lot of change now, you know, just keep in

235
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: mind that automatically you get into anything new, it's just

236
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: gonna feel better because it is. It's it's not a

237
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: thirteen year old vehicle either, all right, but you want to,

238
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, try it out. Drive whatever you're gonna drive

239
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: at least twice, or maybe drive the first round once

240
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: and then when you get down to the final decision,

241
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: drive it, you know twice, Drive it once during the day,

242
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: once at night. I always tell everybody that when they're

243
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: buying a car, because the personality of the car will

244
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: change from you know, daytime to nighttime. You know, it's dark,

245
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, can you see things in the dark? Can

246
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: you get to where you want to get? Et cetera?

247
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: What do you buy? Super huts are okay? Um? You

248
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: know everything out there is generally a good one thousand

249
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: mile car, alright. A hundred thousand miles seems to be

250
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: the breakpoint. And then you've got to the side how

251
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: long do you want to hang onto it? All right?

252
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: Unless you've got a lemon, most cars will go to

253
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: the hundred thousand mile mark with no problem. Today in

254
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: the minimum amount of maintenance, it's how long are you

255
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: gonna hang onto it? And what's the resale value? So

256
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: you've got to stop and look at that. Now you

257
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: know the hybrid. To me, the hybrid is are you

258
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: traveling far for work? Yes? That was one of the

259
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: reasons why I was looking into the hybrid because with

260
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: my car now I am spending a lot of money

261
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: on gas. Um have you compared or talked to the

262
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: insurance company with regard to the price difference between ensuring

263
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: a forester versus a hybrid versus something else? All right?

264
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: So that's got to be at the top of the list,

265
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: because this has got to be a numbers decision, all right.

266
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: When when when you're young, I'll talk to you like

267
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: I talked to one of my daughters when you're young

268
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: and starting out, all right, you've got to make a

269
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: decision based on numbers, not emotions. Okay, And you know

270
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: can can you can you afford X, Y and Z

271
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: and and what can you afford. The second question always becomes,

272
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: who's gonna work on it? If you're gonna buy the

273
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: Toyota and the Toyota deal is gonna work on it?

274
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: Great if If if you're gonna buy the Toyota and

275
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: you expect the family mechanic Bob's garage to work on it,

276
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: you gotta go talk to Bob and say, Bob, can

277
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: you work on this car? All right? The one drawback

278
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: of hybrids is that, you know, it's It's sort of

279
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: like when you buy a house. Most houses have asphalt

280
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: shingle roofs, and then once in a while you get

281
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: a house with a copper or a tin roof. Um,

282
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: they're both rufs. They're all rufe, they'll all keep you dry.

283
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: It's just one is a little more difficult to work

284
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: on than the other. So you know, sometimes that hybrid

285
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: vehicle is going to need the expertise of a dealer

286
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: tech to solve, you know, whatever the problem is. Most

287
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: of the maintenance is cut and dry. They generally don't break.

288
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: They're really pretty good, especially the Toyotas. Oh. I'd probably

289
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: give them the edge fifty miles all right, But you

290
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: gotta go drive one. You gotta you know, do you

291
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: like the experience. One of the things that's gonna boggle

292
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: your mind with the newer vehicles, no matter what you

293
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: pick a subar u, um uh, Toyota, even the new Fords,

294
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: the difference between most of them and that tourists that

295
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: you're driving is they're gonna have start stop technology. Are

296
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: you familiar with that? You know you're gonna pull up

297
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: to the stop sign and the car is gonna shut

298
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: off and you're gonna be like, what happened? Um, you know,

299
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's kind of weird. So, you know,

300
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: the other thing to think about is how long do

301
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: you plan to keep this car? Five years, ten years,

302
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand miles, a hundred thousand miles and it's gone. Um,

303
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: you know you've got ah, You've got to sort that

304
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: out as well. I think if we're starting out and

305
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: we want to try and stay in that same budget

306
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: and time frame, let's look at the Forester. My my

307
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: my thought on a Forester is great, hundred hundred and

308
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: twenty thousand mile vehicle. They're a little pricey on correct maintenance,

309
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: correct maintenance. There's a lot of there's there's things that

310
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: people will cheat on, but they're a little pricing when

311
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: you do the correct maintenance. Um, the Toyota hybrid not

312
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: a bad choice. I would compare a gas version and

313
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: look at the price difference between gas and hybrid and

314
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: decide is it worth that much of a difference, all right?

315
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: And then you know, third third thing I look at

316
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: is yeah, I look at something comparable and afford Go

317
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: look at afford escape, you know, just to see what

318
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: that experience is like. The key for you is going

319
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: to be and a lot of people is who's gonna

320
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: work on it no matter how new it is, sooner

321
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: or later, it's gonna break. And you've got to be

322
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: able to resolve that in a in a proper manner

323
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: so you don't have any issues. Good, all right, So

324
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: but that's you know, that's clearly how I would, um,

325
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: how I would do it. And then also keep in mind,

326
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: like I said, talk to your insurance company, because I'm

327
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: willing to bet right off the bat, you don't have

328
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: collision on that, oh five tourists. Yeah, you'll have collision

329
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: on on all of these. So you gotta look at

330
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: what the rates are. And some of those cars are

331
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: are more money than others in terms of costs to ensure.

332
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: And then let's throw a fourth car in there. Um,

333
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: not exactly like what you're looking at, but let's just

334
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: go drive a hand to say of it, someone said

335
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: to me the other day, and I haven't verified this,

336
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: but you can buy a Honda Civic for under twenty grant.

337
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: It sounds like a lot of car for less than

338
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: twenty cheese. You know. You just got to the side

339
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: of Yeah, you know, you got to the side too.

340
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: If you're traveling in bad weather, is that going to

341
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: be what you want to be in in bad weather

342
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: as a bad weather vehicle? Uh? You know, so that's um,

343
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: that's just something to consider into the into the mix

344
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: as well. Alright, kidd, thank you, you're very welcome. You

345
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: got any questions, you know where to find me? All right,

346
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: thank you very much. You're very welcome. Linda, You take

347
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: good care. Um, it's tough, Tom, you know it's tough. One.

348
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: Kids go out and buy new vehicles today and um,

349
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: you know what are they gonna drive and how are

350
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: they gonna get it there? Let's real quick. Can I

351
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: sneak in an email? Run? My name is Maury. I

352
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: drove a fifteen Honda Civic. Oh look, I know I

353
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: saw a Civic in here somewhere. The manuel says, I

354
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: can tow one thousand pounds. Boy, this question sounds familiar.

355
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: I swear I answered this. The dealer says no, his

356
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: boat is a hundter and fifty pounds trailers to fifty.

357
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: Is this a problem with the CVT trans I wouldn't

358
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: just necessarily as the dealer. I would as the dealer.

359
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: Why does he say no? If the manual says he

360
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: can tell a thousand pounds, why does the dealer say no?

361
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: What is he basing that on? Now? Maybe you've got

362
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: to put an auxiliary trans cooler in, some type of

363
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: a device to cool the trans down. That would be

364
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: my first thought. But if the manual says you can

365
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: do it, why is the dealer saying you can't? And then,

366
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: by the same token, I would call Honda and speak

367
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: to their customer service team and ask them, Hey, the

368
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: manual says this, the dealer says no, what's the right answer.

369
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: What's your experience? Ben? I would also use the power

370
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: of the internet and google it. What's everybody out there doing?

371
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: Or you know, how are they doing it? Um? Are

372
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: they making it work? Is it? Um? Has it been

373
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: an issue for those that are trying to get it done?

374
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: So just some things to think about and deal with.

375
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: But I would say if you can do it, you can.

376
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: Now you've got to find out the proper procedure and

377
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: what sort of trans cooler you might need to get

378
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: the job done, and um, we'll kind of go from there. Maury,

379
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: thanks for the question. Eight five five zero zero zero.

380
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: I am Rondaninian, the Car Doctor, and I'll be back

381
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: right after this. Don't you go away? Second, remember when

382
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 1: the Wild Kids running int the car docer? By the way,

383
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: remember when the Wild Kids roade Honda's right, I mean

384
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: that was the that was a big deal that song

385
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: back in the sixties. Right, you know, first gear, second gear,

386
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: hold type, lean, right, et cetera. Um, wow, what if

387
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: you know? It's funny how a hundred years from now

388
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna look back at cars and say, look at

389
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: how look at the dating of the time period and

390
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: and and look at what they represented. I still go

391
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: back to I enjoy watching the older shows. I was

392
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: watching Chips again as I'm still fascinated by Chips. I'm

393
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: still on a Chips kick. And um, you know the

394
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: cars that they were driving this week, the seventy eight Thunderbird,

395
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: the seventy eight Lincoln Continental that you know, plowed into

396
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: a Volkswagen Beetle and took the thing out and half

397
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: a heartbeat and the Lincoln drove away in the Volkswagon

398
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: was crushed. Um. Just really amazing stuff. When you look

399
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: at the the the epic proportions of some cars were

400
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: this big and some cars were this big, and we

401
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: we drove those things and you know, now everything is um.

402
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: You know. What else is interesting that when you look

403
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: at the older TV shows, all the cars had color.

404
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: They were all different colors, red, green, blue, white. Today

405
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: everything is white, silver, or black. You know, very the

406
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: country's very blah uh, you know, very different time periods,

407
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: so you know, things are changing. Speaking of change, By

408
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: the way, I've gotten more than a few questions, and

409
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: I thought this was a good tip to pass along.

410
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: I've gotten more than a few questions from your regarding

411
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: tires and you know, figuring out tire size and things

412
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: like that. If you go out to Goodyear dot com,

413

00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: go find your tires online. So that's when the folks

423

426
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: in any event, let's get over and talk to Mitch

427
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: out in Oregon. Oh, five DoD and a list of codes.

428
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: Mitch Ronald Needing the car doctor at your service, sir,

429
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: how can I help? Hey, Ron, thanks for taking my call. Um, Well,

430
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: I got a friend. He's got the five Dodge and uh,

431
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: last week he was driving it and get fluttered a

432
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: little bit. The check engine light came on, it went

433
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: back off, and the truck drove fine the rest of

434
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: the week. A few days ago, he towed a trailer

435
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: about sixty eight miles up to our work. Happened and

436
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: it did find We unhook the trailer and then did

437
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: some running around and his truck died and we started

438
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: and checked into I came on. We tried to start

439
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: it up with about ten seat and died. So we

440
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: towed it back up to camp, which is about a

441
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: quarter mile the let we just let it set. The

442
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: next day we went into town, got a code reader,

443
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: came back and um plugged it in and it had

444
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of codes. Um it had one one

445
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: code and eight Kendean codes. Okay, so that was a lot.

446
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to know those. Now

447
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: we'll give me what's the what's the what was the one,

448
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: you know, the hard failure, the heart faire sailor was

449
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: the random misfire. So it's it's got a zero three.

450
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: What were the others? Uh? Zero nine? Those are cranked

451
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: daft positions, sensor and crank circuits. And then you got

452
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:12,719
Speaker 1: some seven stuff. And I'm wondering if if that was

453
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: if those scot set by being told, let me ask

454
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: you this question. What are you what are you using

455
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: for a code reader? O B D two You're going

456
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: in the O B D two side? Correct? Okay, here's

457
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: the problem if that has a communication fault with the

458
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: tip of module totally at the graded power module, which

459
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: is where I think this is going. By the way, Um,

460
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: you'll never see it on an O b D two fault,

461
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: it's not likely to see it. Here's an example where

462
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: it would really I think it would. It would tell

463
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: me a lot of things if you were scan this

464
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: by year, make model, vehicle specific. Here's a classic you know,

465
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: here's a classic example where you when you hear me

466
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: talking about you know, you can go in O b

467
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: D two or you can go in vehicle specific. Vehicle

468
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: specific will access all modules on the vehicle, while O

469
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: b D two will only access typically engine trans things

470
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: that are strictly and specifically amissions related. Because that's what

471
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: O b D two is about, right, So you could

472
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: spend some time looking for, you know, something that isn't there.

473
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: My my, one of my rules of thumb is when

474
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: I get a car that's doing intermittent weird things, I

475
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: do a complete vehicle scan or I want to, all right,

476
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: because I'm looking for I'm looking for more information. Okay, Um,

477
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: so so what I did is as I wrote the

478
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: coach down, UM, I cleared them all, and I thought, okay,

479
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: let's let's drive and see what comes back and maybe

480
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: just deal with with a lower level of codes um.

481
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: And nothing has come back, and it's driving fine, right,

482
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: And here's a case that had the next time it happens,

483
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: I would I you could scan it O B D

484
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: two wise for example, if but if the tip of

485
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: them or the totally integrated power module which is sort

486
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: of like the central data bus communication fault out on

487
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: the vehicle under the hood. If if, if that's got

488
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: an issue, it may or may not set an O

489
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: B D two fault. It may only set something vehicle specific,

490
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: manufacturer specific. So so it needs a dealer. Uh well,

491
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: you make models. How many how many telephones do you

492
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: have in your house? Oh, they're all cell phones, so

493
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 1: uh three. Well, let's say that. Let's say they were

494
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: all hardwired. Okay, call one call one PCM, one TCM

495
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: trans control module and the other one tip them totally

496
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: integrated power module. If if the PCM and the TCM

497
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: are on the same data bus, meaning they're on the

498
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: same network, all right, they'll always talk to each other,

499
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: but they won't talk to the tip of them. Or

500
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: maybe the tip UM is the central point between the

501
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,959
Speaker 1: two and they don't speak directly to each other. They

502
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: both have to go through the tip of module. And

503
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: maybe there's maybe there's three others on that same data

504
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: bus and they all have to go through the tip

505
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: of module. But the PCM software maybe such that it

506
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: doesn't allow it to tell O B D two, Hey

507
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: I lost touch with TIPPAM. I just said cam crank

508
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: and you know, seven misfire faults and it doesn't know why.

509
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: It's it's sort of like scanning at O B D two.

510
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: You're only getting half the picture, You're only getting half

511
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: the data. So that's that's that's why, you know, it

512
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: kind of comes back to that. We scan cars today

513
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: for some of the goofiest things that you would never expect.

514
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: You know, I sit there and I say to myself

515
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to think. I had a vehicle the

516
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: other day the windshield wipers didn't work. I scanned codes

517
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: and there was and there was a communication fault in

518
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: the instrument cluster that was preventing the wipers from coming on.

519
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's just it's just getting to that point,

520
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: or it's past that point. Really is the point? So okay,

521
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: you know. Now in the meantime before I let you go,

522
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: and I know you got another question, I'll give you

523
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: that one sec is just cover the basics. Look for

524
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: a wiring harness that's rubbing or rough, Look for the

525
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, the battery cables loose. How do all the

526
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: grounds appear all right? You know, and just just make

527
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: sure everything's intact. It is a twelve year old, thirteen

528
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: year old vehicle right right, and it feels like you're

529
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: just driving around on eggshells waiting for it to that,

530
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: you know. Um, So if I could maybe get a

531
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: scan tool that could scan it by your make model,

532
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: it may show me something. Probably at this point you've

533
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: cleared it, but it can't hurt to look if you

534
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: can get a you know, it's listen, if you can

535
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: get your hands on a scan tool for free, it's

536
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: gonna question nothing to look at, and it's you know. Typically, um,

537
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: just about every scan tool today has a complete system

538
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: scan as one of the menu choices. Turn the key on,

539
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: plug it in, set it up, and it go. Baby.

540
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: If it comes back clean, then you know where you are.

541
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: If it doesn't, it may give you something to shoot

542
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: for and from little acorns mighty oaks grow and then

543
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: in the meantime, with this drive and wait for something.

544
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: That's all you can do. That's all right brother, this

545
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: point all right, you keep me posted. But um yeah,

546
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: that's the O B D two versus your make model

547
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: speech for today. Okay, all right, I will I will

548
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: keep you posted. All right. You take good care of Thanks,

549
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: thanks MACKO zero. The car doctors coming back right after this.

550
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: When the family car needs some fixing, there's only two

551
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: things that really matter, getting the right part and getting

552
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: some good advice. It's a pretty safe bet that, with

553
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: over a million parts in stock, pet Boys has the

554
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: right part right now. The pet Boys pros are extensively

555
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: trained to find the right part for just about any

556
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: car or truck. Better yet, these pros can also handle

557
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: the entire installation or service needed. It's always good to

558
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: have options and know the pet Boys Pros have it

559
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: covered either way. For the best in car advice, give

560
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: Ron a call eight by five five six zero nine

561
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: nine zero zero. Now back to Ron. Hey, I'm glad

562
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: you kind of turned this way. And turn the mike

563
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: button on. Tom. You're getting nervous there, Hey, I get

564
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: busy when I have to do things like sweep the

565
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 1: floor and everything else. And Tony's not here, by the way,

566
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: you missed the spot in the corner over there. Um yeah,

567
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: I'll spot you Tony of the back next week. So

568
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: let me get over to the phone. Let's gonna talk

569
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: to Jerry and Omaha, Nebraska. How are things in beautiful

570
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: Omaha today, Jerry, ron and needing the car doctor at

571
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: your service. It's a little bit warm. Button almost agrees,

572
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: but not bad. Sorry, we're not allowed to do the weather.

573
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: I get yelled at if I ask the weather report.

574
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: But thanks for sharing that. Some people have no sense

575
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: of humor. So how can I help you today? Jerry?

576
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: What's going on? I got Tonto and I got new

577
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: break pads all the way around, and I was wondering

578
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: the rotors aren't really scared or anything not, just wondering

579
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: if I should just resurface summer getting new. Well, the

580
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: issue comes back to one of a few things. One

581
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: how thick are the rotors to begin with? It's always

582
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: gotta be minimum thickness based on whether or not we machine.

583
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: You should buy the book by industry standard, machine the

584
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: rotor or give the brake pad a fresh rot or

585
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: to adhere to. You know that that rough surface of

586
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: the rotor does a few things. Number one, it's it's

587
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: it's clean and provides maximum friction ability as the pad

588
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: breaks in. But more importantly it's pad breaking. It helps

589
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: raise the temperature of the pad evenly and smoothly. It helps,

590
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's certain resins that are baked into

591
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: the brake pad. If you sit and talk to a

592
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: break guy and he'll tell you that the initial surface

593
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: temperature of the brake pad against itself, you know, it

594
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: helps evenly cure the pad and you know, cure the

595
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: It's like baking the cake. The way the way it

596
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: was explained to me once was, you know, brake pads

597
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: are like cakes that come out of the oven that

598
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: are baked about the way that initial application for fifty

599
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: to seventy miles bakes at the remaining five. It so

600
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: that that that unfinished machine surface, so to speak, is

601
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 1: what is, you know, and that's why they say it's breaking.

602
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: It's a break in period. It's got I bought it

603
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: when I had thirty thousand miles and there was just

604
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: a one older and has got forty six thousand miles

605
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: on it now. And I haven't taken the wheels off

606
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: the check to see how thick they are, right, I mean, if, if,

607
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: if they'll stand to cut cut them. If not, you know,

608
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: it's I'm gonna tell you to change them. I'm also

609
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: going to tell you to look at the rotor on

610
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: the inside. I'm not sure why. Well, maybe it's got

611
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: to do it the way they go down the road.

612
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: But it seems like the majority of cars in the

613
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: last eight or ten years we always noticed the inside face,

614
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: not just keys, but everything. Um, the inside face is

615
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: the one that always seems to rust or de laminate

616
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: or peel or you know that that that shiny side

617
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: of the road or just doesn't look so shiny. And

618
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: obviously that's real important because a you can't machine against

619
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: rot If if if the inside face of the rotor

620
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: is rot and and and un machineable, you're you're cutting

621
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: down the coefficient of friction, I think is the college word,

622
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: if I want to talk like hi tech um and

623
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: the ability for the car to stop by if that's

624
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: not a smooth surface on the inside, I don't think

625
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: they've ever been changed because I got it at and

626
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: you could, you know, and then you can also replace

627
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: the rotors, but you know that's obviously a more costly proposition. Yeah,

628
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: I was just wondering. I don't know if there's any

629
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: good rotors out there. They all seem like the cars

630
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,479
Speaker 1: I had in the past. I got replacements and they

631
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: warped for a couple of years. Well, And I think

632
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: a lot of that has to do with um, you know, uh,

633
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: brand choice and where they're coming from. Do you have

634
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: an O'reillyoto parts out there in Omaha? Yes. We stop

635
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: by the folks in Orillyota parts. Ask him, Hey, what works,

636
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: what's not gonna warp? Ask them if they have power stop,

637
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: if they have power stop break rotors. If they do,

638
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: I put them on all day long. I have absolutely

639
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: no qualms. I have very very very few problems knock

640
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: Wood with power stop pads, powers, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

641
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: power stop rotors, power stop break rotors. They've they've been

642
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: really good the cars I've had before. I just had

643
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: bad luck with new rotors. Yeah, and a lot of

644
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: people do. And I think a lot of it has

645
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: to do with, uh, you know, a lot of it

646
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: has to do with just cheap roters in white boxes

647
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: that are being reboxed I'm curious not to get political,

648
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: but i will for a quick thirty seconds. I'm curious

649
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: what President Trump's tariffs are gonna do with our trade

650
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: with China in terms of bringing in cheaper car parts.

651
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering how it's gonna slow things down, and

652
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I'm kind of hopeful we'll see an increase

653
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: in better car parts made here that have a better

654
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: quality to them. That's what I was hoping for, because

655
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: everything made in China and that it's just it's not good. No,

656
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: it just it doesn't seem to hold to a good

657
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: exact standard. Sound. Looks like all the break rotors are

658
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: pretty much made over in China. You as it's gonna

659
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: be really interesting the next couple of years. Jerry, I

660
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: gotta go. I'm up against the clock, Babe. You enjoy

661
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: Omahana breast, can have yourself a good rest of the weekend.

662
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: And if you have any other questions, you know where

663
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: to find me. I'm runing anding in the car doctor zero.

664
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: We're back right after this taking it home. Runing ading

665
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: in the car. Doctor. Let's do our real fixed sure

666
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: track fixing the week from the folks at Mitchell one,

667
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: Mitchell one dot com for those you're looking for the information.

668
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: The neat thing about a real fixed sure Track, and

669
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: we talk about this every week, is the fact that

670
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: these are real world pattern fixes right from the Mitchell

671
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: one database, right from the sure Track information source. So

672
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: today's titled is What's in the Trunk? What do you

673
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: do if you have junk in the trunk but you

674
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: can't get to your trunk open with a button where

675
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: you could with your key. But that's a lot of effort.

676
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: Follow this real fix to see how an inoperable trunk

677
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: release is diagnosed and repairing on the Chevy Malibu. And

678
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: the thing I thought about when I was reading this

679
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: one is a lot of cars don't have keys anymore.

680
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: A lot of cars just have it's the trunk release

681
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: button or the fob or the button on the dash.

682
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: There are no keys in trunks anymore, so sometimes you

683
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: really got to fix the trunk. This one started out

684
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: as a two thousand three Chevy Malibu. And I like

685
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: this one also because think about before when we were

686
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 1: talking about what it takes to fix cars and what

687
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: kind of technology is there. Um it had a trouble

688
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: code B thirty two sixty seven, which was a deck

689
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: lid output relay short to ground or open. The customers

690
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: stated the deck lid did not open. They used a

691
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: scan tool, and we're also talking to someone recently this

692
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: hour about using a scan tool for silly things. Well,

693
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: here's one that you wouldn't think to use one for.

694
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: They used the scan tool to look at live data

695
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: and found the deck lid release relay indicated active. They

696
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: took the release and relay out. It's still indicated active.

697
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: They used the digital bolt dollmeter, measured the circuits for

698
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: a shorter or open the ground or power found one,

699
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: put a BCM in it about body, computer module, flashed

700
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: it and the vehicle was fixed. Just goes to show

701
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: you you've got to use a scan tool for everything,

702
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: and things like mitchell Real Fix, Sure track one really

703
00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: do help more at Mitchell one dot com. Until the

704
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: next time I'll run a needy in the car doctor.

705
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 1: The mechanics aren't expensive, they're placeless. See you
