Speaker 1: the world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

11
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

12
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: the phone and call in. The garage doors are open,

13
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: but I am here to take your calls at eight

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: five five five six and now running. Now, I realized

15
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: Monday this past week was five six days away for you.

16
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,279
Speaker 1: But I want to think back. How did your Monday start?

17
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: And you know, I hope it all went well for

18
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: everybody that can. Within the sound of my voice, mine

19
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: sort of started different. I wanted to share it with

20
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: you because you know this is what happens in order repair.

21
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: It's it's I say it all the time. Order repair

22
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: is a game of inches. It's it's and you just

23
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: never know when you're gonna be going backwards while you're

24
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: trying to go forwards at the same time, because sometimes

25
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: sometimes the deck is just stacked against you. I should

26
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: have known something was up when before I left the

27
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: house last Monday, because when I was looking at the cameras,

28
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: I've got cameras on the house, the shop and everywhere else.

29
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: Did I go because I just like to keep an

30
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: eye on things. It's it's my O c D. I

31
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: admit it. And I could tell something was weird at

32
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: the shop because the cameras were out and I was

33
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: able to reboot back in. But for some reason, overnight

34
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: something knocked the cameras out. It never clicked in my head.

35
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: I said, oh, the camera machine had a glitch. It

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, it had a hiccup. It didn't like something

37
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: it It turned itself off and then turned itself back on.

38
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 1: All right, you know, how bad could it be? Came

39
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: back up, I could see the shop, everything was there,

40
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: So I said, all right, I guess I'll go to work.

41
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: Shop still standing and um, you know, off to work.

42
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: I went, got there, opened up Danny and I were

43
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: sitting there having a cup of coffee, getting the day going,

44
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: talking to strategizing how we're gonna, you know, run the day,

45
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: and we always do that. We try to do that

46
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: every morning, just so we have an idea of where

47
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: we want to be at the end of the day

48
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: and what we're trying to accomplish. And about ten after eight,

49
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, the heat's running, the lights are on, the

50
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: computers are on, and all of a sudden, all the

51
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: ups is go off. Well, I gotta tell you, when

52
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: all the ups is go off, it at the shop man.

53
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: It's it's got to sound like a hospital because there's

54
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: so many computers in that place. Sometimes I think we're

55
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: tracking Man space flight at of Houston, and you hear

56
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: people pee peeple, and the heating unit up top stopped, started,

57
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: stopped again, and shuttered, and the whole roof shook, and

58
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: then all the lights flickered, went out, went on when

59
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: on went on, and then all of a sudden everything

60
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: was normal, And we looked at each other and went, huh.

61
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: It was almost like that sound when a transformer pops,

62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, when a transformer blows in the neighborhood and

63
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: it takes out all the electric and that's what we

64
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: thought it was. We said, Oh, somebody hit a poll,

65
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: took out a transformer. Somebody was asleep going to work

66
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: Monday morning. Now realize this is Monday. Monday is a

67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: busy day usually in every repair shop. We've got a

68
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: pile of cars. We've got the cars that were scheduled,

69
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: We've got the ones that you know are coming in

70
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: by surprise. We're coming getting the ones that are coming in,

71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, by virtue of the weekend. Things that broke

72
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: down Saturday Sunday. Flat tires, dead batteries, my car didn't start,

73
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: my check engine light came on. You know, my left

74
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: handed smoke shift needs to be adjusted. Whatever it is.

75
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: So we kept going. About ten fifteen minutes later, it

76
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: did it again, and I looked at Danny and I said,

77
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: We're not in Kansas anymore. There's something going on here.

78
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: This is not this is not good. I called my

79
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: heating guy. Said it's gotta be the heating unit, because

80
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: at that point I couldn't envision another transformer blowing. I said,

81
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: the heating unit's got to be doing something locking up.

82
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: There's gotta be an issue up there. And it's affecting

83
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: the electrical supply coming into the building. It's pulling, it's

84
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: pulling everything down. And you know, I called my heating guy, said, yeah,

85
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: it sounds possible. Let me send a guy down and

86
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: I'll get that going for you. And I appreciated JB

87
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: doing that. We were we were dragging him away from

88
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: something because I'm sure he's got a busy Monday morning

89
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: this time of year, a heating ventilation guy, right, I mean,

90
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: how busy could he be in the middle of winter.

91
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: And we left the heat off. I said to Danny,

92
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: leave the heat off. I said, we're gonna have to

93
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: work really quick today. We'll stay warm that way. It's

94
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: just gonna be that day. And it's cold in the building, right.

95
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: It's it's a block building and has been sitting all

96
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: weekend and the heat was turned down all weekend to

97
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: fifty two degrees. So it's cold and that stone really, imman,

98
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: it's cold. So we worked another ten fifteen minutes and

99
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the lights flickered. All the ups

100
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: is go off. But he didn't do anything because the

101
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: heat wasn't running. And I looked at Danna and went, naw,

102
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: we've got a real big problem. We're losing power. You know,

103
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: it was called called JB back by the way. I

104
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: told listen, don't send you a guy down. We're into

105
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: something else. Like I called Mike Kicky or electrician, and

106
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: I said, Mike, here's what we're up against. And um

107
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: he was. He was twenty minutes away, and he was

108
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: kind hearted and goodhearted enough. He came right over and

109
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, looked at the legs coming into the building,

110
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: the three legs of power. It's a two twenty system

111
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: coming in and uh as we say to one, whatever

112
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: it takes, and we had everything, and Mike said, you know,

113
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna find that you're missing a leg.

114
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: It's just from what you're describing, you're missing a leg.

115
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: And are enough. As soon as he said that, as

116
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: we're standing there, it did it again. He goes, yeah,

117
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: you're you're losing a leg. It's got to be an

118
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: electric company thing. Let's called PSC and G. We called

119
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: ps C and G and you file an online complaints

120
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: statement whatever it is. And I said, geez, that really

121
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: going to get through because they don't really have the

122
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: best system. It's the choices you can give them are

123
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: you have no power, partial power or full power? Well,

124
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know what I had. I had the lights

125
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: were going on and off every ten fifteen minutes. That

126
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: was really wasn't one of their headings. So I filed

127
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: that his partial power, which I later found out was

128
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: incorrect because the woman on the phone, the customer Service

129
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: re from PSC and G yelled at me, Oh, no,

130
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: you filed that wrong. You shouldn't have done that. Show

131
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: me a better option. So bottom line, they sent a

132
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: guy out about ten thirty or so, and uh, two

133
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: and a half hours later, we're still standing in the cold, freezing,

134
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: and we looked at each other and he said, I've

135
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: been here before, and I said, yeah, you have. And

136
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: then you gotta understand we've got no heat. We had

137
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: a we had a shut down most of the computers

138
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: because we were worried about what's getting spiked. We barely

139
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: had lights. We were using one lift because you went

140
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: around all the list. We didn't know what the power

141
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: situation was. We had the compress or turned off. It

142
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: was kind of like the Enterprise when it was I

143
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: think it was Star Trek two when uh Khan came

144
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: by and he blew up half the ship and we

145
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: were sort of running unlimited impulse power. So the PSC

146
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: and G guy walks in, and now the phone's ringing

147
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: because of course, somewhere in heaven all those that have

148
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: passed don say, oh, let's let's let's fool around with

149
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: Ron today. Let's see how many times we can make

150
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: the phone ring for cars. He can't take or do

151
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: or look up on the computer because he didn't have any,

152
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: and the piles just they're walking in the door. The

153
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: phones are ringing, we're getting texts, and we have no electricity.

154
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: We have partial electricity. PSC and G guys standing there.

155
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: He says, gee, you look familiar. Go yeah. He says, yeah,

156
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: I've been here before. He goes it's about three years ago.

157
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: And he proceeded to tell me, you know what he

158
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: was there for three years ago, which I was amazed

159
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: he could remember that. And all of a sudden he said,

160
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: what am I here for? And all of a sudden,

161
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: lights go dimn that you pss go off. It was

162
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: just like perfect timing. He said, okay, let me go

163
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: take a look. I didn't even have to explain anything

164
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: to him. I think his name was Bob. It's always Bob. Right,

165
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: they always send that that guy Bob has got Bob

166
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: on the left breast pocket. You know, what's your name, Bob?

167
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: You can tell without even looking at the guy. He's

168
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: a Bob. And Bob goes up the pall and he

169
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: comes back down and he says, yeah, he goes, he goes,

170
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: same thing happened. Then I said what was that? Because

171
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: I kind of forgot this happened. So PSC and G

172
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: a transformer, as he explained it to me, an electrical

173
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: transformer basically has an in and out. It's got you know,

174
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: stud mounted for in and a stud mounted for rout.

175
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: And when they ran the power coming into the transformer,

176
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: it loops down and it goes on an islet and

177
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: attaches to the transformer and then goes out the other

178
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: side as an islet with a heavy cable on it.

179
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: And that's what feeds the shop well as the wind

180
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: blew and well, this is the key part. This, this

181
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: is why only I was having the problem. I'm the

182
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: only building on the street that takes to twenty voltage,

183
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: so nobody else needed this line, as he explained it

184
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: to me, and as the wind blew it over time,

185
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: it basically broke the lug off the transformer because the

186
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: cable coming down doesn't have a good reinforcement or any

187
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: kind of reinforcement, and it eventually breaks the lug. And

188
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: then what happens is when the wind stops blowing, the

189
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: lug falls back down into the transformer, makes contact, and

190
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: it basically welds itself right to this transformer because it's

191
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: such a high current, and everything works until the wind

192
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: blows again, and then over a period of time, it breaks,

193
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: and then it falls down, and then it breaks and

194
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: then it falls down. I do have to give PSC

195
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: ANDG credit though, because I mean, he says, I've got

196
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: to kill your power. Power wasn't out but two minutes

197
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: and it was fixed. And you know, now it's eleven

198
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: o'clock and I've got I've got to get eight hours

199
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: of cars done and what's left of a barely a

200
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: six hour day, and it just the whole day his pandemonium.

201
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: It really was. We got to the end of the

202
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: day on Monday and I looked at Danny and I said,

203
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: good night, Let's start this over again tomorrow. You know

204
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: what could go wrong? Nothing did. We had a great

205
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: rest of the week. It was just but that's allto repair.

206
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: You know, everybody says, I want to be a mechanic.

207
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: Look at how great it is, look at how easy

208
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: it is to deal with, and it's just such a good,

209
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: solid business to be in. But it doesn't come without stress,

210
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't come without grief. It's earned every inch of

211
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: the way. By the way, I couldn't help it. But

212
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, when I was talking to Bob, you remember

213
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: Bob with us um over his pocket and uh, I

214
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: was talking to Bob. We were talking about electric cars.

215
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: Somehow we got on the subject and he just looked

216
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: at me and he laughed. When we started talking about

217
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: electric cars. We're talking about future and technology, and he's

218
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: noticing all the computers in the building, and um, you know,

219
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: he made a comment. He says, what are you gonna

220
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: when electric cars come around? And I said, I don't know.

221
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: I said, what are you gonna do when electric cars

222
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: come around? And he said, nah, he goes, he goes,

223
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: he goes, I don't know what all this chaos is.

224
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: He said, there's just no infrastructure support. He says, I

225
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: just don't see how we're gonna do. Now. This is

226
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: the second or third utility guy I've spoken to in

227
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: the last six months. As I've explained it to you here,

228
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: they don't know where the infrastructure is coming. So the

229
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: guys that are building the infrastructure and maintaining the infrastructure

230
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: are telling us we don't know where the infrastructure is coming,

231
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: but yet we're pushing ahead with electric cars. I thought

232
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: that was a pretty outstanding comment, and uh, you know,

233
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: I just thought that was interesting and worthwhile to tell you.

234
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: So so that was my Monday. So there probably isn't

235
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: anything any of you could tell me today that will

236
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: knock me off my seat, but I'm willing to let

237
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: you take a shot at it. At five five zero zero,

238
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: I'll do that again. Five zero zero, I'm run an

239
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: aiding in the car. Doctor, I want to pull over,

240
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: take a pause. When I come back, I'm gonna say

241
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: a load of Mr Tom Ray, We've got one more

242
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: quick story maybe, or we'll take some phone calls, whichever

243
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: you want to do. Don't go away. We'll return right

244
00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: after this. For the best in car advice, give Ron

245
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 1: a call eight five five five zero nine nine zero zero. Now, bacter, Hey,

246
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: let's do a quick piece of I'll tell let me

247
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: say a little Tom first, Mr Ray, how are you today, sir,

248
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: oh cold, Now listen, I just want to let you

249
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: know and everyone else know that. You know, the tables

250
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: are kind of turned here because I don't have control

251
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: over the automation machine. That's true, but if if I did,

252
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: I'd be singing you happy birthday because I understand Tom

253
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: is another year older. Now how old are you? Better? Now?

254
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: Did you catch up to me? Um? I don't think

255
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: anybody can catch up to you. Well, they could try,

256
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: so you know now now is it? Is it a

257
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: question of you're going to get a big cake with

258
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: candles tonight in the whole nine yards or just gonna

259
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: keep it a secret and go home and cry. No, no, no,

260
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: they they've outlawed candles for me because we have to

261
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: get the fire department to come. Like I could understand it,

262
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, But listen, ages ages just a number. You

263
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: know that, you know that having a costello joke, you

264
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: know about You're just you're just aging gracefully about if

265
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: you were forty and in love with a little girl

266
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: ten years old. You couldn't you couldn't you know that

267
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: story right? You couldn't you know, date her? And if

268
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: you waited five years, she'd be fifteen, you be forty five.

269
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: You be three times as long as that little girl.

270
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: If you wait another fifteen years, you'd be sixty, she'd

271
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: be thirty. Now you're only twice as old as that

272
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: little girl. So the question is how long do you

273
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: have to wait until you're both the same age? I

274
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: have to sit there and figure that one. All right.

275
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: While you're doing that, I want to make a couple

276
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: of comments here, um uh In New Jersey. All right,

277
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about this last week, and I'm just

278
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: getting to this this week. New Jersey has plans to

279
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: phase out diesel trucks. I was, we're doing some weird

280
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: stuff here in this state. I don't understand it. New

281
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: Jersey DP earlier this week. This is a week old.

282
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: Now has adopted a rule to phase out diesel power trucks,

283
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: meaning anything bigger than a delivery van, starting based on

284
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: California's Evans Clean Truck's rule. Why do why does everything

285
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: come from California? I mean a state that can be

286
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: a state that can't even afford to maintain itself is

287
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: dictating policy. New Jersey's policies will require between fort new

288
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: truck sales in the state be pollution free, zero emissions

289
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: by New Jersey has already experiencing the adverse impacts of

290
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: climate change, but we have the power and obligation reduce

291
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: its worsening in years. So States showing a lot throughout

292
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: the States Commissioner for the Department of E p A

293
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: and a press release about the new rule. Did you

294
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: see that one where New Jersey has leased ocean tracks.

295
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: They've least pieces of the ocean off the Jersey shore

296
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: and they're going to be putting the windmill stations up

297
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: to generate electricity for the electric cars. I wonder what

298
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: that's gonna cost. The first thought I had was, you're

299
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: you're putting, you know, a charging station on top of

300
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: salt water. You know what's the how long does something

301
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: like that last in such a corrosive environment in weather

302
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: like that? You know how much maintenance needs to be done,

303
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: and what's the cost factor for maintaining that versus maintaining

304
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: other sources are going a different way. I just I

305
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: just don't understand it. But that's what you have to

306
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: look forward to here in New Jersey. UM, they're they're

307
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: really up to some crazy stuff. We had to UM

308
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: do some batteries this week. Once the week sort of

309
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: settled down at the shop, we we had to do

310
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: three different batteries and I thought it was kind of

311
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: interesting to note. We had to put a battery in

312
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: an O two Toyota camera, which was pretty cut and dry, Uh,

313
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: fairly simple to do. Um, not really a lot of

314
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: conversation there. It was as you would expect. A couple

315
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: of ten millimeters to bracket, came off the top, put

316
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: a new battery and it checked it for drug just

317
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: to be sure there was nothing. Car was done down

318
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: the road. And I tell you this story because I

319
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: want you to think about what you're paying, you know,

320
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: for a battery at your mechanic is it is it?

321
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: Are you really you know, do you going with a

322
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: preconceived notion of well, you know, my my O two

323
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: camera was fifteen minutes or twenty minutes, and that's what

324
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: a battery should be. And then we had a Malibu

325
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: dropped off. It had a bad battery. There was an

326
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: A g M battery, so the battery was close to three.

327
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: All the A g M batteries just seemed to be

328
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: so much more, um, you know, it was a it

329
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: was a three battery and the labor to put it

330
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: in was a little bit more because of its location.

331
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: But it wasn't just the labor to put it in,

332
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: it was the the relearn When we replaced the battery,

333
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: we had to go and tell the car number one

334
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: that we changed the battery. Fortunately, um, we've got the

335
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: latest piece of equipment to do that from the folks

336
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: overt Associated Test equipment, the battery registration tool that we

337
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: were able to you know, go in and say, hey,

338
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: we changed the battery and register that new battery with

339
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: that car. But we also had to um uh verify

340
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: that which we did know there was. There was a

341
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: calibration also where we had to and that's part of

342
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: what the what the Associated Test Equipment tool does it

343
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: it calibrates or it tells the car that the battery

344
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: has been replaced. And that was okay, that wasn't too bad.

345
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: It was forty five minutes, almost an hour of work

346
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: to get all that done because the battery is kind

347
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: of swooped into the case um uh you know the

348
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 1: way they've got it buried down and there. And if

349
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: you want to see videos of or you want to

350
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: see more about the Associated Test equipment battery registration tool,

351
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: go out to associate go out to Associated Test Equipment

352
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: dot com, Associated test dot com. I forget well, we'll

353
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: look it up. We'll announce it after the break. You

354
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: can just Google search associated test equipment. UM, I believe

355
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: that is St. Louis. And then we had a seventeen

356
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: Volvo x C sixty. These guys have taken battery installation

357
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: to a completely new level, on a completely new procedure

358
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: in terms of what you have to do and how

359
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: you have to do it, and uh, you know what,

360
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it after the pause. So make you

361
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: want to come back because you want to hear this

362
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: story of what it takes to put a battery in

363
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: a late model Volvo. It will totally blow away any

364
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: of your expectations. I'm running any of the car doctor,

365
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: I'll return right after this. Don't go away, look back

366
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: for name of the car doctor. So where was I

367
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: real quick because I know the phones are lit up.

368
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: So we had the seventeen Volvo x C sixty that

369
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: needed a battery. Well, you have to take apart the

370
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: cow at the base of the windshield. You have to

371
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: clean out all the leaves, which, by the way, you know,

372
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: as we're getting into winter. If you want to do

373
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: a good maintenance to your vehicle after the show, go

374
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: out and pop the hood. You shouldn't have to lift

375
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: the hood of your car. You should I don't care

376
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: if you don't ever work on it, I don't. You

377
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to get the hood up, you know, if

378
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: for nothing else. One day you may have to jump

379
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: started and the guy doing the road call may not

380
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: know how to get the hood up, and you could

381
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: tell them, so just learn how to pop the hood.

382
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 1: But open the hood and look at the base of

383
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: the windshield all right, which is the air intake cowl

384
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: or the air and take grill for cars and see

385
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: do you have any leaves debris? You know, as we

386
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: say the non industry standard terms, sometimes we call it schmutz.

387
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: Do you have any schmutz packed in there along the

388
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: cow because that's all the wet leaves from the fall

389
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: that haven't been cleaned out. Because you know, a lot

390
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: of guys when they service at the quick loop places

391
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: tend not to do that. We'll do that, um, you know,

392
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of repair shops will do that,

393
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: the ones that are doing full service, because if not,

394
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: you're breathing all that contaminant in through. It's clogging the

395
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: air filter, the cabin filter inside the car, the cabin

396
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: filter inside the car, and um, you know it's not

397
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: good for you. It's not healthy, and we're all obviously

398
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 1: trying to get healthy. Um hence the trying to overcome

399
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: the pandemic. But anyway, so just just go look at

400
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: the leaves at the base of the cow. That isn't

401
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: the point of the story. So I clean that the

402
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: leaves that were just packed into this Volvo. We haven't

403
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: seen this car and probably two years, so I can

404
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: only imagine how long she's been driving around like this

405
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: and got the battery out battery in. But Volvo does

406
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: something very unique. We were able to use, uh the

407
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: twelve Days Show two hundred associated test equipment tool and

408
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: Tom got me the web address. It's associated equip dot com,

409
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: associated equip dot com. We're able to use the twelve

410
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: dish oh two battery registration tool and it worked fine.

411
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: But Volvo also requires a state of change sensor calibration,

412
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: and the way you do that on this particular car

413
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: is Keyon engine off, there's a black two wire connector

414
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: at the battery of red wire with a black stripe,

415
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: you have to unplug it, count to five and plug

416
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: it back together, and that will cause the battery to

417
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: reset its charge percentage in a scan tool as you're

418
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: looking at it. But look at all the things that

419
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: you have to do here just to put batteries in vehicles.

420
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: And look at the difference in extremity from a fifteen

421
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: minute battery on an O two camera to the better

422
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: part of an hour on a Volvo. As cars get

423
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: more complicated, those preconceived notions that you might have on

424
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: how long it took or how long it used to

425
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: take versus how long it really takes, are you're gonna

426
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: have a problem. They're gonna get blown out of the water.

427
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: Be open minded and ask what the shop is doing.

428
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you're driving a newer vehicle,

429
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: they should be telling you these things that we had

430
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: to relearned, calibrate and so forth the battery to the vehicle.

431
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: And if they don't, they're not doing the job right

432
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: and they're setting you up for future problems down the line.

433
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 1: Got any commons and questions, shoot me a notor give

434
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: me a quality zero. Let's get over to Robert and Delaware,

435
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: Oh Ford for F one fifty. Robert, thanks for waiting.

436
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to finish that. How can I help you today?

437
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: What's going on? I don't know. It's kind of like

438
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: the problem that I have. I have the F and

439
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: it needed a new engine. I would like lose oil

440
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: pressure every so often and they would clack and bang,

441
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: and they were two hundred thousand miles. They told me

442
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: they just put a new engine in it. So we

443
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: ordered the engine. Um, it took about a month and

444
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: a half to get. When they got it, they put

445
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: it in. They gave me the vehicle back and said

446
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: drive it for the five miles and ring it back

447
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 1: and we would do an oil change. And while I

448
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: was driving it, I mean I I spent the seventy

449
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars on the motor and I wanted the baby,

450
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like, wow, you know it. Um, I don't

451
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: want to hurt it, but if I would give it

452
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of like guests too, to accelerate quicker

453
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: than I normally would, it would just kind of die out.

454
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: So I took it back and said, there's something wrong here,

455
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: and he checked it and said that the timing was

456
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: off on it, but the engine was under warranty, so

457
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: they were just going to order another engine. Um. So

458
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: that took another month and a half or so. And

459
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: then they got the engine and they put it in

460
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: and now he he's saying to me that I have

461
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: to take it to a dealership and have either a

462
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: new computer put in or maybe recalibrate the computer or

463
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: something like you were talking about the battery, because the

464
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: computer has given him all of these um readings. He

465
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: says that are kind of crazy readings. First one was

466
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 1: CAM sensors and he said he replaced them, um. And

467
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: then as soon as that cleared, then he got intake

468
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: roller and he said that he said that sounded odd,

469
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: but they put in the motor, I believe. He said,

470
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: for the intake roller, let's let's let's I'm sorry, hang

471
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: on one second day, Robert, Who's whose engine is this is?

472
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: You know? Do you happen to know the brand of engine?

473
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: You know that? He said it was? It was a

474
00:23:55,320 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: Ford af Ford engine for Ford? Remaned the engine, Well,

475
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: he said it was a New. Okay, what is this

476
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: a four six or five four five? All right? So

477
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: this is a five four for New? Are you sure

478
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: about that? I don't know that they're making new five

479
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: fours anymore for that vehicle. I would have thought it

480
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: was a ford Reman, not that there's anything wrong with

481
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: a Reman or the new UM What kind of warranty?

482
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: What kind of warranty did you get on it? How

483
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: long is it? Three years? Three year? Dred thousands? Okay,

484
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: so it sounds like you've got a Ford Reman. It's

485
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: setting timing falls, all right. Um. You know, if the

486
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 1: problems weren't there prior to this, and you just had

487
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: an engine that was making noise, then I've got to

488
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: think as long as they've got everything installed correctly, which

489
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 1: is critical that there's there's obviously something wrong with this

490
00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: particular engine or the installation. All right, it doesn't unwell

491
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: though it has it seems to have a lack of power, right, Okay,

492
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: it seems strange. And does the second Does the second

493
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: engine run the same way the second I haven't driven it, um,

494
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: they haven't given it to me because he says it

495
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: keeps giving all these UM codes codes. Uh. He said,

496
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: it's one code after another. As soon as he does something,

497
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: another code pops up. I I've never seen a scenario

498
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: where replacing an engine requires a computer and a calibration.

499
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: I've I've got to think there's something wrong. One of

500
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: the first things I would do with this particular truck is,

501
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, he's talking about all these fault codes cam

502
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: timing related. The first thing I would do is and

503
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: I would I would actually here's here's what I want

504
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: you to tell him to though I'm just thinking in

505
00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: my head. Clear all the codes. Okay, okay, turn the

506
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: key on, you know, through all the codes. Wait ten minutes,

507
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: turn the key back on. Run a code scan without

508
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: starting the engine, without starting the engine, all right, do

509
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: any do any fault codes come back? If fault codes

510
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: come back, that's telling us that it is a circuit fault,

511
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: not a performance fault. Do you understand what I'm saying?

512
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: Because when when he's when when you code scan on

513
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: a key on, engine off? No start that you're going

514
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: out to the computer. The computer is looking at the circuits,

515
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: it's looking at its sensors, and it's looking to see,

516
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, does it have integrity? All right? If it

517
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: has integrity and all those paths, then it's not wiring.

518
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: It's not something connected wrong. It's not a missing ground,

519
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: although that could be anything's possible. When an engine is running,

520
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: things can change dynamically, but the likelihood goes down. And

521
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: now we're into he's either got something plugged in wrong,

522
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: which is possible, okay, or he's got a second bad engine,

523
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: which boy, that would just not that would just be

524
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: so odd, all right, So I'd like I'd like to

525
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: see him do that. If it passes that, if it

526
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,479
Speaker 1: passes a circuit scanned key on, engine off, then the

527
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: next thing I want to know is obviously check the

528
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: oil level. Make sure the oil level is good. What

529
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: is standing oil pressure at idle? That engine needs a

530
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: minimum of twenty five pounds oil pressure. Anything less and

531
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: you will set a series of CAM timing VCT fault

532
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: codes just like you're describing. So the first question is

533
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 1: when do the codes occur? Can we can we make

534
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: the codes occur key on, engine off or does the

535
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: engine have to be running alright? The differences We've either

536
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: got a static fault or a dynamic fault. We've got

537
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: a fault that occurs in the electrical circuits, or we've

538
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: got a fault that's occurring as the engine is actually operational.

539
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: Have them do that call me back, all right? I

540
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: don't think this is gonna be hard to figure out,

541
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: but we've got to get past that point, all right, kiddo. Okay,

542
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: thank you, you're very welcome. Let me know, Randy of

543
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: the card doctor eight zero, I'll be back right after this.

544
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back the card DOCU. Let's get right over to

545
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: Randy in Hawaii wants to talk about hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Randy,

546
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: welcome to the car doctors, sir. What you got? Yeah, Hello, Ryan,

547
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: thank you? Um uh. Don't worry about the government, the

548
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: stupid government with all these battery cars. Okay. Hydrogen tower

549
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: is powered by plug Power. Have you ever or to

550
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: plug power? Okay. Plug Power is a company that is

551
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: developing modules throughout the US two provide hydrogen. They they

552
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: have of the market share globally, which is pretty big.

553
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: They also formed hydrogen buses with Canada that are operating

554
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: last year. Well, hydrogen busses are nothing new, right, Randy.

555
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean, hydrogen busses have been around for quite some time.

556
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: Major cities, a lot of major cities have hydrogen buses.

557
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: But I'm curious if hydrogen is going to be the

558
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: wave of the future and overtake electric. I think that's

559
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: what you're saying, how will they how will they grow

560
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: the infrastructure? Where will they where where will those pipelines

561
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: go through? How will they get hydrogen out to the

562
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: masses on a daily basis? Okay, listen to this thirty Globe.

563
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: You ever heard of thirty Globe. It's a company in Egypt.

564
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: They just UM plug Power is in combination with them

565
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: to provide hydrogen. They can ship it and then what

566
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: they do they take green ammonia and then at the

567
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: other side converted to hydrogen. That's what these goods do

568
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: in Egypt. So UM and plug power. They they have

569
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: these negawatts electoralizer UM units that are powered by solar

570
00:30:53,320 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: and UM solar and wind randy. So wait, wait, wait baby,

571
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: And you know I want to understand what you're saying.

572
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: So companies are gonna produce hydrogen, whether it's in Egypt,

573
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 1: you know, the south of Florida or France or wherever

574
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: it is and send it here. But how are you

575
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: going to get enough hydrogen out to the masses to

576
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: support the volume of cars in this country. We can't

577
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: do it with electric. I don't see how we're gonna

578
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: do it with hydrogen because of the potability the ability

579
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: to carry it, the ability to transport it. Aren't isn't isn't.

580
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, I think hydrogen has a

581
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: lot of merit. But you know, one of the reasons

582
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't think hydrogen has come about in the last

583
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: fifty years is because you've got this infrastructure growth problem,

584
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: the same as what they're faced with electric. How are

585
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: they going to do it? And why haven't where the

586
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: uh they're they're they're in the process of doing this.

587
00:31:54,120 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: They're putting stations across the US and these electoralizers are um,

588
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: you just put water in them, outcomes hydrogen and they

589
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: have these They're gonna have service stations. It's gonna be

590
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,479
Speaker 1: in the next ten years. It's not quite here yet,

591
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: but it's been development. I guess we've got to I

592
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: guess we've got to wait and say. But yeah, that's

593
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: the only problem. We have to wait and see. But

594
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: but um it's there. You um search plug power and

595
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: you'll see these these units. They're the most efficient units

596
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: in the world. So um. So I've I've been in

597
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: the plug power. I've I'm an investor. I've been in

598
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: the plug power for over a year and I've been

599
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: watching them, so they they've increased UM their growth. They

600
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: just combined with um uh South Korea. There um Edison motors.

601
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: They're making um hydrogen fuel cell buses over there with it. Well,

602
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: like I said, I think the hydrogen fuel cell bus

603
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: thing is. You know, we've done that. It's a question

604
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: of the sheer volume of cars. Whoever, how many hundred

605
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: million cars are in this country to support and feed those.

606
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: Randy will leave it there. Let's see where it goes

607
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: in the next ten years, and we'll watch very carefully,

608
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: but we appreciate your thoughts. I'm run on any in
