1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Ronanian. If they asked me what's the hardest part of

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: my job, I think it's this. I think this is

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: probably the most difficult thing I'd get to do during

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: the course of the week. Is condemned a vehicle. The

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Car Doctor doesn't have misfire faults right now? No, no, no,

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: right that that resolt. They're saying, I need a new

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: catalytic converted to that volley up the act. Well, you

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: may need a new catalytic converter, but there actually have

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: got it backwards. Welcome to the radio home of ron

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: and Nian the Car Doctor. Since this is where car

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: owners the world overturned to for their definitive opinion on

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: automotive repair. If your mechanics giving you a busy signal,

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call in the garage. Doors

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: talk to Paul from Virginia. Paul, Welcome to the Car Doctor,

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: Sir ninety one Bronco. What's going on yes or appreciate

21
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: to take my call. Uh, not any one Bronco and uh,

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: it's got the five point eight and uh it started

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: doing this the other day. Where if it doesn't, it's

24
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: not done it yet or yuh when cold. But if

25
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: it's uh, if it's got um you know heat going

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: to it, then when you go to start it, it Uh.

27
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't do it every time, but it may go

28
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: clunk zo. It might do that once or twice and

29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: then the second or third time starts like everything's fine,

30
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: no problems. It sounds like it sounds like you're describing

31
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: the starter drive doesn't stay engaged. Yeah, that's why I

32
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: figured the Bendix. Um and uh okay. The the other thing,

33
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: um that is kind of strange is that it's an

34
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: automatic transmission. It's uh, it's a four speed over drive.

35
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: And if you if you put a drive, you know,

36
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: everything is perfect. It's normal. If you put it in second,

37
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: takes off perfect, it'll stay. This will stay in second

38
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: unless you go with them drive work. Um. But if

39
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: you take off and first, as I've done sometimes, um,

40
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: and it's not like I'm going too fast and first

41
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm not. I would quickly change a second, but it

42
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: might like skip almost like it's missing gears or something.

43
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: Then then heck, hitch up, so it's like a slip,

44
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: but it doesn't. The engine is not revving, so it's

45
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: it's peculiar. Do you have D with a circle and

46
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: L on the dash display? No? No, this is this

47
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: has got the full quadrant one, one, two, three, uh

48
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: with three then going to over drive. Um, unless you

49
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: have hit the switch on the dash which would then

50
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: keep it in down and thirty. And you're saying, if

51
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: you pull it into first, you pull it into manual

52
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: low and you accelerate. When you get to the shift

53
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: point for first where it would normally shift a second,

54
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: the engine flares as if the trans is slipping. Yeah,

55
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: the well, the engine doesn't seem to rev up, but

56
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: it's like it's it like skips a beat and h

57
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: and as I you know, and then then of course

58
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: then at that point I'll put it in a a second

59
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: and then it's fine, um, and it's never done this,

60
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: never done this. Uh. If you take off in second,

61
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: which is happy to do, it's a um or if

62
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: you just put it in drive and you know, well,

63
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: I think when you I think when you when you

64
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: pull it into second. Is it actually pulling it into

65
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: second or is it pulling it into first and then

66
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: it'll shift a second. Are you starting out in two? No,

67
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: it takes off in second. Yeah, I had I had

68
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: uh Chrysler product Um. That was my first cart with

69
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: the seven seven torque flight, and if you put it

70
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: in a second, it still took off the first But

71
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: with this, if you put it in a second, it

72
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: takes off a second, which gives you a better start

73
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: if you got no. So so so let me ask you.

74
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this question. At this age in

75
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: milege if I told you you had to take the

76
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: trans apart to fix the first gear problem, would you

77
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: be ready to do that? Oh? Yeah, yeah? This this

78
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 1: is this is a very very very very solid Bronco.

79
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: Really you might as well say rust free other than

80
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, surface rust on the frame. Well, what I'm asking,

81
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: because what I'm asking is what I'm asking is you know,

82
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: this is a very mechanical transmission. There's not a lot

83
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: of computer involvement with this vehicle, So this is a

84
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: very mechanical transmission. So short of if it was something

85
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: external that we could sit down and figure out and say, well,

86
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: it's a servo or an accumulator or something which probably

87
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: would acquire trans removal and disassemble. Anyway, if it's running

88
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: fine in drive, right when you start out and drive,

89
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: does it really doesn't really start in first and go

90
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: one two three four one two three. You're sure about that,

91
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm pretty sure. I guess. I I guess. I

92
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: guess what I need to do is uh, because it

93
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: does have attack. And I really that because it's it's

94
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: got in fact, it's got a firm shift. And you

95
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: might say, Jesus that two firm. Well, and that's my

96
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: pot because right I I get that, Paul, And that's

97
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: my point that it's very it's very odd that the

98
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: problem doesn't happen in drive, but it happens when you're

99
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: in manual low and then you know two is okay.

100
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: Drive is okay. But when you pull it into first,

101
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: you know it shouldn't have any consequence. I think what

102
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: you're doing, and I think what you're describing as an

103
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: internal transport for some reason, under heavy load, it's staying

104
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: in first either you're going past the shift point. And

105
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: for that matter, I would put it in drive, take

106
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: it for a ride and watch it shift first a second,

107
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: second to third and so on, and look at the

108
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: shift points if you can, if you can record that

109
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: with some very clear objectivity, that you know it goes

110
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: from first to second, it's at at at seventeen miles

111
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: an hour, and it goes from second to third at

112
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: thirty four miles an hour, and you can see the

113
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: engine load and engine speed. If you can duplicate that

114
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: manually shift that, you may find out that you've been

115
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: exceeding the RPM limit and you may be creating a problem,

116
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: albeit one that's just odd. But you know, I don't

117
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: want to start chasing our tail over something that's not real.

118
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: What I'm trying to do is prove is this a

119
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: valid you know? Is it not operating as designed as

120
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: the word is the phrase that comes back to my

121
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: mind if you get my meaning. Um, that's where I

122
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: think this has going. I believe it. I believe it

123
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: is taking off the first when when being automatic. But

124
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: that's the thing. I've got to understand what you're saying.

125
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: But I've got to be absolutely certain of that it

126
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: is taking off first when put in drive. Let me

127
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: ask you this, you did you ever fix the E

128
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: g R tube in the back of the heads, wasn't

129
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: the Yeah, yeah, so you thought I forgot about that?

130
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah that was yah. Yeah, I know you've got an

131
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: excellent memory. Um, that would be of course then um

132
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, well of course if you if you dropping

133
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: the trends, then that's the opportunity, right, That's where I

134
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: was going with that. And one last thing on that

135
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: starter issue. You know, obviously make sure all grounds are

136
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: good and clean and tight. Make sure the battery's got

137
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: good reserve. You know, if you've got a clamp on

138
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: amp clamp, it would be nice to look at starter

139
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: draw and make sure it's steady and consistent. And before

140
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: you just swapped the starter, if you pull the starter

141
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: out and decide, hey, it's a bad starter, you may

142
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: want to manually crank the engine, put a socket on

143
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: the front bolt and spin the engine around and make

144
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: sure the flywheel doesn't have any damage to any of

145
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: the teeth. It's not it's not probable, but it is possible,

146
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: and you know, you just want to make certain that

147
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: perhaps it just didn't ship a tooth on the flywheel

148
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: and it consistently stops at that spot. You know that

149
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 1: the story go those and I've never researched this, but

150
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: I've always heard this over the years, is that a

151
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: V eight engine will stop at one of three places

152
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: on a consistent basis, of four cylinder, one of four

153
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: spaces at a consistent basis, and so on, by definition

154
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: of design and how it shuts off. I've never actually

155
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: tried that, you know, I've got other things going on

156
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: and to try and prove it, but I understand the

157
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: physics of it. So they say, usually, you know, the

158
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: reason flywheels chip is because it will just consistently be

159
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: the spot where it tries to crank the engine over

160
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: and if it's gonna have a weak spot, it just

161
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: gets repeatedly beat on and eventually it gives way. So

162
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: you know, you may want to crank that flywheel around

163
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: and look to see does that actually have a chip tooth?

164
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: I don't think so. You've probably got a bad starter.

165
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's a it's the old Ford style. I

166
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: think it was a part number thirty five sixty two

167
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: and the old rebuilt starter days with a single battery

168
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: cable going to it and the starter solingo. It is

169
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: mounted on the fender wheel. Um, you know, but I

170
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: think that's just something worth checking so on the fender. Yeah,

171
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: so all right, kid, I'll do those things. Call me

172
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: back if you more. I'm here for you and I

173
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: appreciate you guys listening and tuning in down down Virginia Way.

174
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: You'd be good. I'm run any of the car doctor.

175
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: We are back right after this. Don't go away, that's right.

176
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: If you call and we're not live, you can leave

177
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: a message and we'll call you back to get you

178
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: on the air with Rod eight five five zero nine

179
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: nine zero zero. Speaking of Ron here he is. Thanks Tom,

180
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: you know down around the bottom of the hour, by

181
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: the way, thanks for sticking with us. Uh this hour

182
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: we're going to be bringing you. Randy's a hor Chak,

183
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: he's the product manager. And Chris Gillespie he's the director

184
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: of category management for the folks over Dorman Dorman Products

185
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: dot com. You know, Dorman has grown tremendously in in

186
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: the last fifteen years, I think, maybe maybe longer. They've

187
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: been around forever, right Dormant. I think it's been around

188
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: since the thirties, but they've really taken over the category

189
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: and in helping all the d I wires and the

190
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 1: repair shops right with the with I don't want to

191
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: say odd bowl stuff because they do so much what

192
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: I consider mainstream window regulators and nuts and bolts. But

193
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: now they're into things like exhaust manifolds, and they've been

194
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: into it for a while where they're you know, they've

195
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: come out with a better mouse trap, they really have.

196
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: They come out with a ceramic coded exhaust manifold, which

197
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: lasts longer, it looks better. Uh, it prevents the problems

198
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: that the traditional exhaust manifolds are causing. So you want

199
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: to stick around for that. Uh. They're gonna be joining

200
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 1: us as we talk about exhaust manifolds and some of

201
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: the other things that the Dorman Dorman products make. So

202
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: we look forward to that down around the bottom of

203
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: the hour. Just in a little bit quick piece of

204
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: a couple of pieces of email. Uh, this one comes

205
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: to us. Came in today as a matter of fact,

206
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: from filling the San Francisco Bay area in northern California.

207
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: Hi Ron, My next d I Y project is a

208
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: change of spark plugs on my sisters two thousand two

209
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: miles to tribute also afford escape. Right, it's a low

210
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: minlet's car sixty thou miles. After I get past the

211
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: challenge of removing the intake from this V six. I'm

212
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: concerned that I'll have a hard time removing the plugs

213
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: as they are original and I've never been touched in

214
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: twenty years. Do you have any tips so I can

215
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: get them out without a problem. Thanks for all you do, Phil, Yeah,

216
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: fail a couple of things. Number One, your best friend

217
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: in this case is gonna be a can of p

218
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: B blaster. Alright, nothing works better than p B if

219
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: you want to when once you get the intake amount

220
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: fold off and I want to talk about that in

221
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: a second, if you pull the I'm trying to remember

222
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: if this has coils or wires going to the coil

223
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: and O two. But regardless, once you get whatever the

224
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: ignition devices out of the head, you know you might

225
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: want to drop you know, you don't have to flood it,

226
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: but you want to drop a little bit of p

227
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: B down the well of those back spark plugs and

228
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: let them soak and you know, maybe come back a

229
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: little bit later and a little bit more and let

230
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: them soak and then you know, put your rench on,

231
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: put your socket on, just give it a little bit

232
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: of a twist to the tight just a bit all right.

233
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: This is where we learn how to be a good mechanic,

234
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: and it's all about touch, where we just want to

235
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: give it a little tweakd tight and then try loosening

236
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: it up and that will break the bond. And if

237
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: you feel the plug is struggling trying to come out

238
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,599
Speaker 1: of the head, put a little bit more p B

239
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: in there and walk away, and the p B will

240
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: work its way down over time and soak down ask

241
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: the threads and then eventually help loosen the bond of

242
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: whatever has been you know, been going on the past

243
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: twenty years as the steel in the aluminum head has

244
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: sort of fused themselves together. Nothing works better than p

245
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: B in this application. As far as getting the intake

246
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: manifold off, that's not the terrible part of the job.

247
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: It's really not. All right. You've got your traditional bolts

248
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: up top, all right. The going into the plastic intake,

249
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: as I recall, the ugly part is in the back

250
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: and the driver's side rear corner where the E g

251
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: R valve comes in. All right. I usually take if

252
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: I remember right there, eights or tens I think they're

253
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: eights eight millimeter head bolts. Dose will come out all right,

254
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: and then you're faced with what do you do about

255
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: the gas? Get the gas. It will either stick to

256
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: the valve or the intake manifold easy enough to scrape

257
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: off that way, if you can, by some miracle, get

258
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: the e g R tube coming up to the valve loose.

259
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: It's a big I think it's like an inch and

260
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: sixteen hex nut Again. P B blaster will work well

261
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: here where you spray it on the threads, let it soak, Tighten,

262
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: then loosen, let it soak. If you can get that

263
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: tube off, then you can lift the whole e g

264
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: R off in one piece, still attached to the intake manifold,

265
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: and you won't have to deal with the gasket that's

266
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: gonna be there. It's a that's a very soft um

267
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: silver gasket that's sort of it just sort of self

268
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: destructs upon disassembly, or it stays in one piece. It's

269
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: never halfway my experience has been, so just be aware.

270
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: If you're can avoid having to deal with it, that's great. Last,

271
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: the back of the intake manifold is likely going to

272
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: have a couple of vacuum lines going to it. Something

273
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be gonna be there for um e g

274
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: R control will be there, the ported vacuum line is

275
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: going to be green, the the manifold vacuum line will

276
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: be read. And then you're also gonna have a big,

277
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: giant or probably half inch in diameter vacuum nipple that

278
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: comes off the passenger side of the intake manifold that

279
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: leads out to all the other vacuum controls on the engine.

280
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: Make sure you get that that's in the back corner.

281
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's a little hard to say. Once you

282
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: clear those things out of the back, then the manifold

283
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: usually lifts off of cour is. You gotta disassemble the

284
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: throttle area in the air and take duct and all that.

285
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: But all that's pretty clear cut. That shouldn't give you

286
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: the issue. All in all, Um, it's not common for

287
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: these plugs to stick in the head. The PB is

288
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: your insurance policy. If anything's gonna get it loose, they will.

289
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: So just take some time and uh you know, put

290
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: on a couple of podcasts of the Car Doctor and

291
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: uh you know, take a couple of hours and just

292
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: relax in the shop on a Saturday afternoon and do that.

293
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: That will work it for you and make it happen

294
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: another email, Hey, Ron, recently you were talking about parts.

295
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: This came into us just last night too, from Robert.

296
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: Parts you don't necessarily match the manufacturer's name on the box.

297
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: I recently bought an A C Delco water pump for

298
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: a small block Chevy with power steering. I matched it up,

299
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: making sure all the bolt holes where I needed them

300
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: before the point of no return, painting at Orange. As

301
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: I wiped it down, I noticed there were any part

302
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: numbers or even a GM stamping. I'm telling you, I'm

303
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: seeing this. It's it's like they're just putting something different

304
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: in the box. It's not it's not what we're used

305
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: to seeing. The article. His email goes on to say, well, well,

306
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: I painted it and I started changing it over, and

307
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: everything was good until I got to the top alternator

308
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: brack at the threaded boss on the top of the

309
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: pump was five as of an inch back too far,

310
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: leaving a gap. I've seen this, Robert. They actually the

311
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: better parts or the better water pump parts replacement people

312
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: will give you a space or to bring that out,

313
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: because that was a change that got made. Oh back

314
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: in the late sixties, early seventies, and I remember exactly

315
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: where it happened. But yes, this is not uncommon, and

316
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: the snack of washers won't cut it, as you point

317
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: out in your email, and it does make it kind

318
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: of ugly. Um, so yeah, not unusual. And I see

319
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: here you said that you've you've reached into your parts

320
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: of your your box of extra stuff and you found

321
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: it in there. And your question to me is, if

322
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: you deal with better off parts in your shop, how

323
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: much time must you lose in a day making stuff work?

324
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: Some days more than others. And you know one of

325
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: the steadfast rules in the shop. Listen, if I was

326
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: hiring you as a mechanic, Robert or anybody else, there's

327
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: a couple of Ron's rules that we live and go by,

328
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: all right. Number one, you bring a car into the shop,

329
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: you make sure the keys aren't left in the car.

330
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: We used to put windows down, but then we ran

331
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: into problems where if it was a first time customer,

332
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: we don't oh the customer's car. We put the window down,

333
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: the window falls into the door, and then it's our

334
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: problem to fix. If it's a regular customers, somebody that

335
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: knows what we're about, they're more than willing to list. Hey,

336
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: we put your window down and it broke. And the

337
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: response is always, hey, would you mind fixing that too?

338
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: And we will. But when we're bringing in a first

339
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: time customer, we don't know the customer. The keys don't

340
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: get left in the car because the door is auto locked.

341
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: That's a problem. The keys come out and they go

342
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: either in the ignition door lock or they go on

343
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: the roof. That's Ron's rule number one. Ron's rule number two.

344
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: When you're doing a job, if all the parts are there.

345
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: Number one, make sure all the parts are there. Walk

346
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: over to the parts shelf. All right. We're not one

347
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: of those shops where things get left all over the place.

348
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: The parts drivers know there's a very specific area of

349
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: the shop. They walk in. First door on the left,

350
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: first shelf on the left. Parts from this vendor go here,

351
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: parts from that vendor go there, and so on. Match

352
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: your parts. Make sure you have all your parts. Most

353
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: important rule number three take the parts out of the box.

354
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: Just because the parts there doesn't mean it's any good

355
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: or undamaged, or that it's gonna work. So those are

356
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: the rules we live by. Yeah, some days we lose

357
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: too much time. Some days things go along like ice

358
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: cream and They're just great, so I appreciate the letter. Hey,

359
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: coming up next, Randy is a hard chat. Chris Gillespie Dorman,

360
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about exhaust mouthfold. Don't go away, come

361
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: back right after this. We'll be here. I'm running in

362
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: the car doctor. Welcome back room in the car doctor. Here.

363
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: You know, if your vehicle has one of the two things,

364
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: one of these two things, or maybe both a check

365
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: engine light and a ticking noise, then I've got a

366
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: segment that you want to pay attention to it because

367
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: there's some man is for you right here. And we're

368
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: gonna be joined this portion of the hour by Randy's Horchek.

369
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: He's the product manager over at Dorman Products, and Chris Gillespie,

370
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: he is the category manager. We're here today talk about

371
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: exhaust manifolds, and we're gonna talk to both of them

372
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: at the same time, hopefully one after the other. Though, guys,

373
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: welcome to the show, Thanks for taking the time today,

374
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: Thanks for having us. UM. You know, let's go to

375
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: Randy first. Randy, let's talk about UM exhaust manifolds, right,

376
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: because that tick that the listener might be hearing, that

377
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: tick tick tick tick tick when the engine is cold

378
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: and then you know, it seems to go away. Maybe

379
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: when it warms up, maybe it doesn't. Um, that could

380
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: be an exhaust manifold. And you know why did that

381
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: exhaust manifold failed? Talk about that, right, there's a there's

382
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: a few reasons why an exhaust manifold could sail. They're

383
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: pretty simple, right, there's they're basically a funnel for exhaustcasts

384
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: out into the exhaust system. Um. That ticking that you're

385
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: hearing is probably because it's starting to rust and corrodes,

386
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: which leads to a bit of weakness and they could

387
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: crack or they can warm over time. Things like a

388
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: turbo mounted on it could cause stress to it. You know,

389
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: that turbo is heavy and if it's not supported other

390
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: than that exhaust manifold, that could also lead to a crack. UM.

391
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: And if your vehicle isn't tuned correctly, it's not necessarily

392
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: going to lead to a ticking. It could because it

393
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: could be running too hot. Um, but if it's not

394
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: tune correctly, it could. It could cause a manical converter

395
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: to sail, you know, and finally, age over time that

396
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: rust and that corrosion and heavy use UH can fatigue

397
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: the material it will lead to that that exhaust sound,

398
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: that ticking, and and that ticking can ultimately lead to

399
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: some bigger issues. Is there is there maintenance randy that

400
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: will promote or affect exhaust manifold life? Absolutely, Um, there's

401
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: no maintenance on the manifold itself. There's no moving parts, right. So,

402
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: but things like if your car is running too hot

403
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: or your truck is running too hot. I've seen cast

404
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: iron manifolds come back to loss that are cracked. But

405
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: at that crack, they're they're a blue color, and that

406
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: blue color it means that that port is running too hot,

407
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: and so it's heating up that exhaust manifold differently in

408
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: different spots, and that's causing stress the materials, which will

409
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: lead to the cracking or even a warping. Um. You know,

410
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: if your car is running leads to lean it, it's

411
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: gonna burn out your catalysts, and a catalytic converger's gonna

412
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: cause a pay zero four twenty or the four thirty codes. Um.

413
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: If it's running rich, it's gonna actually coat back converger

414
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: so it doesn't operate properly. You know, And even if

415
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: you're burning oil if you if you haven't maintained that

416
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: vehicle correctly, and you start burning oil, that's gonna coast

417
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: the converger, and you're gonna get codes in the and

418
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: they're going to be replacing that converter and the exhaust manifold.

419
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: But it's not really the failure of the exhaust menifold.

420
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: It's actually your car is not running properly, right because

421
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: the engine is burning oil, and that's that's having an effect.

422
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: And and let me just add this to it um

423
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: so that everybody understands. But when we talk about exhaust manifolds,

424
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: there are exhaust manifolds where it's the exhaust manifold and

425
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: the catalytic converter as an assembly. Correct, that's correct. Yeah,

426
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: they started out with, you know, just the regular exhaust

427
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: manifold and the catalytic converter is further downstream. So so

428
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: we started moving them closer and bolting them to the

429
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: exhaust menafold because they actually worked better. A cataly converter

430
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: works better when it's bolted closer and heats up faster,

431
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: right because heat efficiency creates the catalytic reaction. Makes sense,

432
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: So now and then they started to weld them. They

433
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: actually weld them to the manifold, which we call the

434
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: manifold bird. Right, right, So then let's turn to Chris

435
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: if we can for a minute. Chris, are their vehicles

436
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: or their particular vehicles that are more common to fail

437
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: and have manifold converter issues. Um as Randy mentioned these parts,

438
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,959
Speaker 1: they're facing extreme heat and continuous stresses inside that engine

439
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: for it, and they can and will fail eventually, sometimes

440
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: sooner than others. You know, not to pick on every

441
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: technician's favorite model, but people have stalled more than their

442
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: fair share of the Doorman fifty four on Chevy cruises

443
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: that at eleven to Chevy cruise model seemed to take.

444
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: You know, is the butt of the jokes, but it

445
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: is its in theory, is a well built engine, but

446
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, as they were developing it, they

447
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: just had a lot of shortcoming. So that one is

448
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: one that sees a lot. It's actually our number two

449
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: seller in this category. Our biggest seller is actually fits

450
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: over one million hun day and key applications such as

451
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: the accent, the rio, the soul of the blah through

452
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: a tiny compact little uh exhaust system is a part

453
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: number for that one and It's just one of those

454
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: things that it is. It sells thousands and thousands each

455
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: year just because of the design and just how it's

456
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: how it's run. It's a tight compact, little little areas

457
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: extreme heat and high stresses. So not to worry, though

458
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: we have you know, sorry any mean to cut you ahead.

459
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: I was gonna say with over you know, five hues

460
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: and growing Randy's and Randy and the team have been

461
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: working hard. We have coverage for almost eight percent of

462
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: the vehicles on the road today. And you know, I remember,

463
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: I think, correct me if I'm wrong, But wasn't it

464
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: Board trucks was one of the first ones you started

465
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: doing way back when. If it was for a GM truck,

466
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: I can't remember what because they were so common to fail.

467
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: And that's that's where I was thinking about the tick

468
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: tick and the check engine light, because that exhaust manifold

469
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: leak eventually became an O two center or and air

470
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: fuel mixture fault code and it turned on the check

471
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: engine light, and then you had even bigger problems to

472
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: deal with. Uh. The four five fours are notorious for failing, right,

473
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: and you you make a manifold for that as well.

474
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: Correct we do. We actually we actually have four manifolds

475
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: for the for the four five point four leaders. But

476
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: you guys do something different. Maybe I don't know if

477
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: this is a Randy question or Chris question, but you

478
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: know Dorman does well. You you know the question would

479
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: become as anything different than the OI. But you guys

480
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: do you guys look at the failures and figure out

481
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: how to make it better? Right listen, Ron, Randy is

482
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: our expert on this stuff. He lives and breathe exhausted.

483
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let him feel this one. I'll give him

484
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: the hard questions and I'll keep taking the easy ones.

485
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Randy, Europe and I'm not so Yeah. We

486
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: do what we call an OI fix, which is basically

487
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: a repair solution that is designed to deliver a better

488
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: repair that you can get from the OE. So for

489
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: exhaust manifolds, you know, every manifold that we looked to develop,

490
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: we have a team of engineers and we sit down

491
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: with them and we look at them and we that

492
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,959
Speaker 1: feld samples and we try and determine what's wrong with

493
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: it and how we can possibly think. So the one

494
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: one example is our six seven four nine, which is

495
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: for a straight six four point two leader trailblazer. Between

496
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: the two center ports, there's a solid plange where it

497
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: bolts up to the head um from the oe. So

498
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: we determined that it actually flexes there and it torques there,

499
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: and and when it does, when it's not allowed to

500
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: flex or to work, it causes some stress points. So

501
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: what we've done, it's just a simple thing. We just

502
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: cut a slice down the middle of that um flans

503
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,959
Speaker 1: and it allows it to have a little bit of movement.

504
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: It's so performed exactly the same, but it allows it

505
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: to move away. We also added a little bit material

506
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: between the two ports, just to add a little bit

507
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: more strength um. And one of our most common and

508
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: easiest upgrades is a material change from gray iron to

509
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: is called ductor iron. So a lot of the oes

510
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: are gray iron and it's grizzle. A ductor iron allows

511
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: it to flex a little bit more, and it's a

512
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: little bit stronger and handles it a little bit more.

513
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Randy, hold that thought right there,

514
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: because that's that's an interesting thing. I don't want to

515
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: rush over that. Let's pull over, take a pause, and

516
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll continue this conversation. If you're

517
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: just tuning in, you're listening to Ronaldining in the car

518
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: Docer with Randy's Horcheck and Chris Gillespie, both from Dorman Products,

519
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: and we'll be back to talk to them right after this.

520
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: Don't go away. People do some pretty cool things in

521
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: their forties and fifties. Why is it saving for retirement

522
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: be any different? I mean they go back to college,

523
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: learn new instruments, start skateboarding. Okay, maybe that one's not

524
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: for everybody, but saving for retirement is. With a C

535
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: from a ARP and the AD Council welcome back. We're

536
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: on any of the car doctor. I'm here with Randy's

537
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: a hor Check and Chris llsp both from Dorman Products.

538
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: We're talking exhaust manifold and we took the pause. Randy

539
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: had the floor. We were he was talking or explaining

540
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: to us about the different types of metals and exhaust manifold. Randy,

541
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: you want to hit the highlights again and keep it

542
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: going forward. Sure. We we have changed our material UM

543
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: from gray iron to ductor iron. If the OE comes

544
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: out with gray iron, we automatically up tograde to ductor liron,

545
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: just because it's a better material. It's a stronger material

546
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: and it handles heat better. UM. I was also going

547
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: to mention that we just released eight ceramic coded us.

548
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: Now they're not performance parts, we're not including them as

549
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: performance parts, and they're actually for those forward trucks that

550
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: we talked about earlier, UM, the high use trucks. So

551
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: the idea of adding this coding, it distributes the heat

552
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: better throughout the manifold and eliminates those hot spots. But

553
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: also the coding helps protect it from that rust and corrosion.

554
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: And you know, our engineers are so good. We even

555
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: have ten exhaust manifold patents. Wow. But it's not just

556
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: about the manifold. Right. If somebody is going out this say,

557
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: afternoon to buy an exhaust manifold, there's other things they're

558
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: going to be looking for. Christ maybe i'll throw that

559
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: to you where you want to talk a little bit

560
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: about the hardware or what they might need an addition,

561
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: or do they Well, I love talking to you, Rono.

562
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: It's given me the easy questions and it's appreciated. Um.

563
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: As many of us know, it's all too well. There's

564
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: nothing worse than beginning any job at an exhaust manifold.

565
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: Changeover is nothing to be excluded from that list of things.

566
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: And you get out there, you're ready to start. You

567
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: got you know, you got the exhaust manifold and hand

568
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: you're cranking the other one off and then you realize

569
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: I don't have the parts to get this done right,

570
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: and then you've got to go back to the store. Meanwhile,

571
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: you're thinking about climbing back into that engine by getting

572
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: back to it. But daylight slipping away, you know, the

573
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: days almost over. There's nothing worse than that kind of feeling.

574
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: But form and exhaust manifold to come with all the

575
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: necessary gap. It's the end to come with the essential

576
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: hardware that actually does the hook up to the downpipe.

577
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: We include beeed materials in our in all of our

578
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: manifolds because they're essential to really get that job done

579
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: right now. Because the hardware to the head is often

580
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,959
Speaker 1: reusable or can be very specific for different vehicles and layouts,

581
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: we don't include the top part of that head hardware,

582
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: but never fear. Dormant also offers those as kids that

583
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: you can buy as well. So as you're surveying that

584
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: engine base you're about to begin the project and have

585
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: a look down and like those are two rusted, I'm

586
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and grab manifold head kit as well.

587
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: That'll get you going. Um. The good news is that

588
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: when you're doing this you may not need it, but

589
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: that insurance that I can get the job done, insurance

590
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: that you have with that purchase, in addition to that

591
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: Dormant manifold that has everything that's priceless, that's what we need.

592
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: And it's actually what's kind of really nice about it is, UM,

593
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: I was listening to your show a couple of weeks back,

594
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: and I heard you're talking about that fusion and uh,

595
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: you said that the hardware was so rusted and was

596
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: right in that kit that that's that hardware you would need.

597
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: You said, yours was so indistinguishable. But if you when

598
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: you bought that Dorman manifold, it came with that hardware

599
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: to go ahead and get that done. So that's what

600
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: that's what what what what we're trying to offer here.

601
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: So if someone's going to the parts store, besides the manifold,

602
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: they want to ask for a manifold head kit, did

603
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: I hear that correctly? Yes, okay, And that's that's that's

604
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: that's the bolts, the hardware, the things that go with that. Well,

605
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: i'll tell you what you guys should go ahead and Ron,

606
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. On our website, um, it's listed as a

607
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: related part down at the bottom right after the application.

608
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: And I was going to ask that all of this

609
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: information is on the web. Sorry, it's Dormant Products dot Com.

610

659
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: fuel management the five point three Leader GM engine that

00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: you know disabled cylinders, will disabled select cylinders at select

661

663
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: gallon requirements by e p A standards and so forth. Well,

664
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: it was a problem, let's face it, let's be honest,

665
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: and Jazzper has now created an a FM delete package, UM,

666
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: an engine and package that goes if you want to

667
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,160

668
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: should you have to replace the engine? And that from

669
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: the folks over at Jeff but I'm sure there are

670
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,759

671
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: think that's forward thinking. I think to recognize a problem

672
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: and deal with it is certainly a great way to

673
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,879
