Tony, Welcome to the Car Doctor, sir. 15 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: How can I help? Thank you? Yeah? About round about 16 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: about a week ago, I was coming home from a 17 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 1: fifty mile trip and the weather was clear and my 18 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 1: wipers should come on automatically, and they ran and could 19 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: not shut them off. Next day I brought him to 20 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: the garage. They checked everything. They can't find nothing other 21 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: than maybe a little moisture. But it's been running good, 22 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: and then a couple of days ago, Bang, they kicked 23 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: on again. In about twenty minutes, I was able to 24 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: shut him off. That's my problem. You have a rain 25 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: sensing module in this car, correct, Tony. You have rain 26 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: sensing wipers that will come on automatically if it rains. 27 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: No you do not, No, I don't, And this is 28 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: a devil. Yeah, Um, do me a favor. Just take 29 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: behind the rear view mirror, the center rever mirror above 30 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: the windshield, all right, because if it's not this, then 31 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna probably be in the switch itself, and that's 32 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: harder to catch. Just be certain this doesn't have rain 33 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: sensing module built in. Most of them did. Where there's 34 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: a module behind the rear view mirror mounted on the windshield. 35 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: You have a triangular shaped cover behind the rear view 36 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: mirror mounted on the inside of the glass. I believe 37 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: I do, But then that's for the blinkers. Double check. 38 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: Have your have your garage, double check that if that's 39 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: the rain sensing module, alright. If this car has rain 40 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: sense module allan, it chances are the rain sense module 41 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: itself is a problem. And the easiest ways it's a 42 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: simple diagnosis because it's intermittent. What we used to do 43 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: is just probably the cover down pulled down to cover 44 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: gently and disconnect the rain sense module and just drive 45 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: the car. If the problem doesn't come back, it's in 46 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: that module itself. That was that was very common back 47 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: in the day. Sometimes people don't And the reason I 48 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: say just look is sometimes people don't realize that's what 49 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: the car has, that it has a rain sensing module 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: built in. There's a lot of electronics in the cars today. Alright, Okay, 51 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: thank you so much, run, I appreciate it. You're very welcome, Tony. 52 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: Good luck to you, and let me know if that 53 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 1: doesn't work in me a call back. Let's uh, let's 54 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: go over and talk to Steve and Louisiana rev for Steve. 55 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: Welcome to the car, doctor, sir, how can I help? Yes, sir, 56 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: what's going on? We've got a twelve RAP four. We 57 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 1: just went over a hundred thousand miles. We've always used 58 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: synthetic oil in it, and I'm just wondering if they're 59 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: as any other fluids that I want to change at 60 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: a hundred thousand miles. Well, let's let's talk about the 61 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: hundred thousand mile service, all right, because I think that's 62 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: really where you're going, right, You're you're planning to keep 63 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: this another hundred thousand miles and I want to drive 64 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: it to the wheels fall off right now, I'm with 65 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: your brother, because they're they're too expensive to replace. Yeah, 66 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: they're good cars. Yep, it's you know, it's it's well, 67 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: the cars nowadays will run farther, but it's the price 68 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: to get you there. And you know, and the you know, 69 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: it's funny. I had to we had to work on 70 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: a what do we work on the other day in 71 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: the shop at two thousand four Toyota camera And it's 72 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: been a while since I since I've seen one. I 73 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: don't know why. It's just you know that that's an 74 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: old car. Well yeah, well that that and you know, 75 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, I never thought of it like that, Steve. 76 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: But you know it's also you know, here in New Jersey, 77 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: a two thousand four, that's an old car. It's everybody's 78 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: gonna have the newest, shiniest, you know, they've got to 79 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: have they've got to have the best in the brightest 80 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: of everything. And I'm looking at this camera and I'm thinking, 81 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: look at how simple this was to work on. And 82 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: yet I remember seeing those cars in six, seven and eight, going, boy, 83 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: this looks really complicated. I don't know if I can 84 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: deal with this. Um. You know, you look at that 85 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: twelve Toyota, that twelve rav and they were high tech 86 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: in their day. Now compared to the seventeen and the 87 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: eighteen model years, you know, they're like it's it's like nothing. 88 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: It's just it's just so so drastically when when we 89 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: bought it, the our personal are you know, regular mechanic. 90 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: I negotiated a deal that I got a free hundred 91 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: thousand mile bumper to bumper warranty, and my personal mechanics said, 92 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: you'll never use it, but if it makes you feel better, 93 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: that's great. We never used it. Yeah, I mean that's 94 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: just that's just how good they are. So here here 95 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: we are, a hundred thousand miles. What do you want 96 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: to do to the car? Obviously you've been doing the 97 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: oil change is great. We you know, I'm going to 98 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: assume that all of this is needs to be done, 99 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: or at least I'm gonna put it in your brain 100 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: that you think that maybe I've got to take a 101 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: look at some of this, all right, a break fluid 102 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: flush is a great is a great thing to do 103 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: if if it hasn't been done yet the car is 104 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: five years old. You know, changing break fluid on a 105 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: regular basis is good for any vehicle that break break fluid. 106 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: The college word is hygroscopic that absorbs moisture. And you know, 107 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: if you look on a bottle of break fluid, pick 108 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: one up the next time you're in the supermarket and 109 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: read the back of the instructions, it always says keep 110 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: it closed tightly once open, and that's because it will 111 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: absorb moisture right out of the air. You can take 112 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: up a little paper cup of break fluid that it's 113 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: sit on a counter and in a month's time it 114 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: will start to turn yellow because it's absorbing moisture. That's contamination. 115 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: Same thing happens with the car break fluid goes bad. 116 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: So a break fluid flush, all right. Obviously, you know 117 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: when was the last time the trans was serviced? Manual 118 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: or stick a manual or automatic I'm sorry automatic, So 119 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: you know when was the trans service ever? Um? This 120 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: this has Toyota ws fluid, which you know, depending upon 121 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: where you want to read and who you want to 122 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: talk to. They'll tell you it's either lifetime till the 123 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: trans blows up or at fifty thousand miles, and we 124 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: tend to do it at the fifty thousand mile mark. 125 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: Most of the dealers that we know are doing it 126 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: at the fifty thousand mile mark because trans fluid. Trans 127 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: fluid is one of those funny fluids that you don't 128 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: want to wait till it gets dark to go. Oh, 129 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: let me change it, because once it gets dark, the 130 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: damage is done. All right. It's it's it's like waiting 131 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: until you've got a medical problem and then you stop smoking. Um, 132 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: you don't want to do that, all right, So transfluid, 133 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: if this is an all wheel drive vehicle, which I 134 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: believe it is, No, it's not. Okay, Um yeah, Louisiana, Okay, yeah, 135 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: it's Um. What kind of weather do you get in Louisiana? 136 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: Do you get snow down there? We had it in 137 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: two thousand three, less, you haven't had snow since two 138 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: thousand three. Tony, just Tony, my Tory, Tony my board 139 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: engineer just looked up. He's just like, h I guess 140 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: I'm moving to Louisiana. Tom's got a comment. When are 141 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,679 Speaker 1: we coming? Down. Uh, you know it's uh no snow 142 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: since two thousand three. Wow, that's bloody um so transfluid. 143 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: You're done. Look at all the money you say, No, 144 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: it's you know, because normally I would tell if it's 145 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: an all wheel drive, you want to change differential fluid, 146 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: if there's a transfer case involved, you involved, you want 147 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: to do all the drive line fluids. Now I will 148 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: tell you this, and this does apply to you and 149 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: everybody else. Hopefully you've been doing regular fuel system maintenance 150 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: as far as carbon cleanings and you know, some fuel 151 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: editive in the tank and beyond that, you know, I 152 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: don't think this is a timing belt motor. I think 153 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: this is a chain checked on and you know, beyond that, 154 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: just i'd wax the headlights to keep them from getting dull, 155 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: and make sure the wiper blades look good, and air 156 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: cabin filters. Anything in the rear end. There's there's nothing, well, 157 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: there is no rear end. You just said this is yeah, 158 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: there's a front wheel drive. Uh, you know I can't. 159 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't sell your rear end service if 160 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: you don't have one. That's that's like selling the guy 161 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: automatic transfluids eervice and he's got a clutch in the car. 162 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: Whatever the Toyota transmission fluid is. You don't have anything 163 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: that you think, Yeah, yeah, Toyota, Toyota WS fluid is fine. Okay, 164 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: what what about? What do you recommend for a few editives? UM? 165 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: I like Berryman. You know, I just had an email 166 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: this week and somebody was asking me about fuel system 167 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: cleaning and they were they were bringing up a couple 168 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: of brands and a couple of manufacturers, and my my 169 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: email answer then is the same as now. I think 170 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: that cars are cars are like a moving target. Their 171 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: technology is always changing, fuel quality, fuel formulations around the 172 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: country are always changing, and I think the winner in 173 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: terms of fuel system cleaning goes to those that stay 174 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: up with the technology. Berryman, with their hes technology which 175 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: is proprietary to them, has really stayed up with the technology. 176 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: They are constantly trying to hit that moving target and 177 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: they have and they do and it's one of the 178 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: reasons there they're Berryman fuel additive for the tank works. 179 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 1: So well, all right, it's it's it really does make 180 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: a difference using it as directed on the back of 181 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: the can. Um. You know, it's more information at Berryman 182 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: Products dot com. I believe you know, you can typically 183 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: find it either online or your local O'Reilly oto parts uh, 184 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, but Berryman would be the way to go. 185 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: And then talk to your mechanic. What is he like 186 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: for a you know, if you need it for a UM, 187 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: you know, full time a full service fuel injection cleaning 188 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: UM using something where you want to, uh, you know, 189 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: give the machine, give the engine one big shot. And 190 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: maybe you don't have to, you know, if you use 191 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: enough additive along the way or enough UM supplement along 192 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: the way. Sometimes you don't. It's not necessary to do 193 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: a full fuel injection cleaning. It depends on where you are, 194 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: what part of the country, and how the vehicle's running. 195 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: But you know, fuel system maintenance like that, and then 196 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: obviously a throttle body cleaning UM is part of this. Also, 197 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: take the air intake duct to cleaned, the throttle plates, 198 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: wipe everything out. You may have to do a battery 199 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: or memory reset, disconnect the battery, short the terminals together 200 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: with a ten on one wire just so we don't 201 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: have any computer issues and let it relearn its idle speed. 202 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: But um, you know, do those things and you're good 203 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: for another hundred thousand miles at least sounds good to me. 204 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: You're very welcome, Steve.

Hey, Ron, 218 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: I hope you're not reading this when I sent it. 219 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: When did he send this? Oh? Ten o'clock at night 220 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: while I'm up at ten o'clock at night.

A 223 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: couple of questions about selling cars. Best way to sell 224 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: and I assume you have no contexts with people who 225 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 1: buy lots of cars. Best way to sell a car? 226 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: And then second and I thought, so much we get 227 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: for our Sienna Herbo. This is from my customer, Cooper, 228 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: Mr Cooper Cooper Dooper. Um. You know, listen, you gotta 229 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: find out what it's worth. And it's the easiest way 230 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: to decide that you want to sell a car is 231 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, what's the one you've got worth? And the 232 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: easiest way to find that out is start reading the papers, 233 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: all right. You know, price dictates demand or you know 234 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: demand dictates price. They go hand in hand. Uh. You know, 235 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: if two thousand four two to Siennas are worth ten 236 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: grand and yours is worth ten grand, if their ten 237 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: grand in the Kelly Blue Book, but people are only 238 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: paying five for and then guess what they're worth five? 239 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: The real question is how many people are looking for it. 240 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: The rule of thumb becomes when pricing a car. If 241 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: it's you know, and this one in particular, folks that 242 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm aware of this car. It's got a lot of 243 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: miles on it, but it's had very good maintenance. We've 244 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: maintained it since day one. Um, and we've been we've 245 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: been given, you know, freedom to do what we need 246 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: to do to take care of the car. But here's 247 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: a car with probably encroaching a hundred eighty thousand miles 248 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: on it, I think are close to two. And you 249 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 1: know it's it's got some life lift in it. Um, 250 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: you know it's worth a couple of grand The question is, 251 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: you know, how do you want to go about selling it? 252 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: It's you know, I, for one, don't like people coming 253 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: to the house for the shop. I tend to make quiet, 254 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: private deals with people I know and say, here, take 255 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: this car. I'll give you a good price, make it 256 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: go away. Not that I've gotten rid of it. I 257 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: can't remember the list time I sold the youth car 258 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 1: actually thinking about it. Um, I tend to collect too 259 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: many things. Um, I've gotta look in the backyard, no wonder, 260 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: I can't get back there. There's probably too many cars. 261 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: I've got to really get rid of something. But I 262 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: tell you what I wish I had the seventy two 263 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: monty Carla from when I was a kid. Whose I 264 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: just went out and bought another one. And that's a 265 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: whole another conversation. But you know, I'll have to give 266 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: her of a call. But I guess the the point 267 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: becomes when you talk about selling a car is you've 268 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: really got to look at what do you want to 269 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: deal with? What's it worth? What are people paying for 270 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: like models with same mileage and roughly the same condition, 271 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: and how much time do you have to put up 272 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: with it all? And keep in mind that, you know, 273 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: be careful when you sell a used car. You want 274 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: to make sure that you get somebody's signature in writing 275 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: as is, or if you're selling it with a warranty, 276 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: or if you're selling it with components that were replaced 277 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: so they put a trans in it and now it's 278 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: got a warranty that's transferable. You want to make sure 279 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: you if you're the buyer, that you get all that paperwork. 280 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: If you're the seller, you give all that paperwork. So 281 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: this way it makes a better deal for everybody on 282 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: both sides of the fence. UM. Anyway, just my thoughts. 283 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: Let's go and talk to Mark in Wisconsin two thousand two, 284 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: Ford sports trek and some training issues. Mark, Welcome to 285 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: the car doctor, sir. How can I help hi? Ron 286 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: good talking to you again, and talked to a few 287 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,599 Speaker 1: years back on some other issues. Um, I've got a 288 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: two thousand of support trek with a hundred nineteen thousand 289 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: on it. I bought it with two on it, and 290 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: I changed the transmission fluid about fifty miles. I had 291 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: it flushed and filter changed, and just recently within the 292 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: last year, it started to shift rough. It's kind of 293 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: lurching into the gears um from out of first in 294 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: the second will sometimes hesitate and then jump into the gear. 295 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 1: It's an automatic, of course, and I just wondered if 296 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: you have any idea that fluids nice and clean. I 297 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: had a mechanic check at Decent well the fluid looks 298 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: good and everything else, but he didn't have, you know, 299 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: other than a transmission replacement, which I'm not waity to do. 300 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: If if there's some kind of a you know, additude 301 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: that could I don't be used to help out, you know, 302 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: And I mean take your pick, Mark, there's there's so 303 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: many editors out there, and it's it's going to be 304 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: a case that I think there's something mechanically wrong with 305 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: the trans whether it's a bad server or broken accumulator 306 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: spring or just just just something is not as good 307 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: as it used to be. The question becomes and once 308 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: the editor doesn't fix it, the question will become do 309 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: you pull the trans out of the car and go 310 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: through that pain? Is it's something that can be repaired 311 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: in the vehicle? And and then at that point it's 312 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: it's a four team going on fifteen year old vehicle 313 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: with a hundred thousand miles on it. You know, if 314 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: you've got to pull the trans out, you're probably gonna 315 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: up putting a trans. And you know, if it needed, 316 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: if it needed a thousand dollars worth of widgets, would 317 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: you put the thousand dollars worth of widgets in it? 318 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: Or would you put the three thousand dollars worth of 319 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: trans in it? And and those yeah, and and and see, 320 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: those are the questions you really got to answer in 321 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: your head. You know it's listen, I'll say it to 322 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: you like this. Don't tell anybody, but my suburban is broken. Alright, 323 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: the fifty six thousand mile maintained like a princess. All right, Uh, suburban, 324 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: it needs a tork converter, al right, I can, I can? 325 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: I can get it up to fourth gear cruising down 326 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: the highway at sixty miles an hour, converter lock up 327 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: comes onto the thing chatters like a banshee, and I'm 328 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: just trying to find the time to do it. And 329 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: you know, the question becomes here, it is at fifty 330 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: six thousand miles, Am I gonna pull the trans and 331 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: just do a converter? Am I gonna pull the trans 332 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: and do a trans? I'm gonna pull the trans and 333 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: do a trans. Not because I can. Yeah, it's you know, 334 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: not not because I can, but because you know what 335 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: taking the trans in and out on an no force 336 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: of bourbon like, I don't know to explore it's not 337 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: it's it's it's not a walk in the park. It's 338 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: not it's not ten minutes, all right, And it's it's 339 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: fifteen years old and it's twelve years old. And you 340 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: don't want to have to do this three times. Um, 341 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: I want to. I want to fix it so I 342 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: can drive it and take it where I want to go. 343 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: You know, one of the things, one of the things 344 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: I've said for a very long time is it seems 345 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: that engines last a lot longer today in vehicles. They 346 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: really do. You know, I can't tell you the last 347 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: time and I'm probably gonna jinx myself. I'm gonna get 348 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: the phone call. Went we find some wood in the studio? 349 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: Knock wood? Right? Um? That that the last time you 350 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: had an engine just let go? When was the last 351 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: time you had an engine failure? Right? But trans failures 352 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: still seem to exist. You know, if I told everybody 353 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: and you own to raise their hand, half of America 354 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: would put their arms up that you know, suffer trans failure. 355 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: So I think the number becomes that if you're gonna 356 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: worry about fixing the trans at all, whatever it is, 357 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: put a trans in it. If you're gonna keep the vehicle, 358 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: put a trans in it. If you're driving the vehicle 359 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: in bad weather, it's a game of where is it 360 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: going to get stuck? And what time of night will 361 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: it be? And will you be in a safer unsafe position? 362 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: Fix the trans. I hope that helps you. Mark That 363 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: about does it for me? I gotta pull over and 364 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: take a pause. I'm on a nading of the Car Doctor. 365 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,719 Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Hey, welcome back. Ran 366 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,239 Speaker 1: a nading of the car Doctor at your service at 367 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: five five five zero nine nine zero zero and the 368 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: website for Berryman is Berryman Products dot Com. You can 369 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: get out there and find out more information about fuel 370 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: system cleaning and bury me in their room. Hes technology. 371 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: Let's get over and talk to Mike in New Jersey 372 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: two thousand eight Chevy Silverado and some issues online one 373 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: there with some issues. Let's see transit rebuilt and got 374 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: a no start. Mike, Welcome to the car doctor, sir, 375 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: how can I actually what happened? Run is? Um I'm 376 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: the guy that's your vision impaired listener from Dannellen. Yeah, 377 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 1: I'm the guy. Yeah. Uh, let's see. We can tell 378 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: you sixcinctly what's happening here. The guy had the trans rebuilt, 379 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: the lines replaced, and he went to start the car 380 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: the next day and found it it was dead. They 381 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: jumped it and found out that the automatic headlights were on. 382 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: We went through the book from head to toe and 383 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: tried every procedure, including the dome light whatever that is 384 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: that procedure four times and cannot shut the headlights off. 385 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: But the headlights switch has a position for off. Yeah, 386 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: I know, but they it stays on. It's an automatic. Uh, 387 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: but there's but there's an override built into the headlights switch. Well, 388 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: apparently it's not working, So I don't know whether there's 389 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: a short or what. And I'd wanted if you ever 390 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: heard of anything like that. Um, I can't say I 391 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: haven't heard of it. I can't say that it's not impossible. 392 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: What I would do to diagnosis is I would grab 393 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: a scan tool and first thing I would do is 394 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: shoot all the codes in the car, and then I 395 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: would take a look at the body module, go into 396 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: data stream and look to see does the BCM does 397 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: the body computer report correct inputs from the headlights? Switch 398 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: has indicated so in the words headlights and automatic motor, 399 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: it records automatic headlights turned off? Does it record that 400 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: it's off, headlights on high beam? Does it go on 401 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: high beam? Does the computer see the input and switch 402 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: requests from the switch itself? And if not, then I 403 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 1: could start my diagnosis from there, look to see what 404 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: component failed or what's it. Could it be if the 405 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: battery was was killed overnight with the headlights, um that 406 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: the computer lost its memory and has to be driven 407 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 1: so far to read and restore the codes. I'm not 408 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: gonna say it's impossible, Mike, but it's got to be unlikely. 409 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: I've never run into that there are there are some 410 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: earn says. I had a I had a Volkswagen this week, 411 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: then well right, and I had a Volkswagen this week 412 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: that needed a secondary air pump. It out of two 413 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: secondary air pump full and I had to put the 414 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: little two plastic tube kit sensor and all this other 415 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: nonsense in it. And when I started it up, it 416 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: had an air abs and a traction control light on 417 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: that just it was on. I just I just disconnect. 418 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: I didn't even did. I didn't disconnect the battery on 419 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: that car um and started it up. No, I take 420 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: that back. I did disconnect the battery because I had 421 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: to put a battery in it. That was the other 422 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: problem with you. And the light stayed on until I 423 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 1: hit six miles an hour and then it went off. 424 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: Isn't there like isn't there like a flash flash drive? 425 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: You can? Uh? You know, when you take the battery off, 426 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: can you can you hook up something to that so 427 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't lose your memory? You can? But the problem 428 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: becomes with this car. It had already had a dead 429 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: battery and I wasn't necessarily worried about it. Now now 430 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,719 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, because the car had to be jumped 431 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: by by roadside to get it brought into the shop. Um. 432 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: For whatever reason, the only thing that was on when 433 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: it came in was the check engine life but something 434 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: changed the second time around, but it reset itself within 435 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: you know, going six miles an hour. My point is, 436 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't sound likely that you know, the BCM gets 437 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: electronically stuck. I'm not saying it's impossible. Probably one of 438 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: the simplest things you could try is disconnect both battery 439 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: cables and you know, touched the two battery cables, not 440 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: the battery, but short the two battery cables together, right 441 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: using a ten o one watt wire. You know, you've 442 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: got to you've got to get a resistor that's ten 443 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: owens one watt capacity, um, and you know, solder that 444 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: in and just you know, go across it and leave 445 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: it on there for a couple of minutes. Now they 446 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: just had the trans replaced, uh yeah, and all the 447 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: lines going took the whole rusted on it. So you 448 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: know the other thing I'd be thinking, if I didn't 449 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: have the problem before we put the trans in, then 450 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: is it possible that we've got a wire pinched somewhere 451 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: or a wiring harness stuck on something somewhere. You know, 452 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: it's you've got to retrace your steps. Now, don't you 453 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: have that same vehicle, exact same vehicle, two thousand eight Silverado? 454 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: I have a one ton I have. That's why I 455 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: thought it was interesting. Yeah. Um And as a matter 456 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: of fact, they do rust out. That year seems to 457 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: be you know, it's it's the eights, the nines, the sevens. 458 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: They do have a propensity to rust, very hard shift 459 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: in the second gear, no matter when the car was 460 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: new or now that it's been rebuilt. Man, that's really 461 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: smack second gear. You can't say it even get a 462 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: chirp out it. Yeah, I can't say I've got that issue, 463 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: but I do have the rust issue. I'm still in 464 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: the process of, um a little Benjamin more low luster 465 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: alkalight paint and you know, cleaning, scraping and painting everything 466 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: as much as I can when I can. So all right, yeah, Mike, 467 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: you have Mike. Did Mike have one more question? Mike? 468 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: What did you have one more question? Mike about what? 469 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I thought I heard you you were 470 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: going to say something.

And uh 480 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: it was that in the water for like fifty twenty 481 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: minutes and one of the mechanics in the area told 482 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: me I should be draining all of the differential and 483 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 1: the rear end. And uh it's a four world drive 484 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: of course, um, because everybody who went water in it. 485 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I just thought i'd call you 486 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,199 Speaker 1: and see you if you thought there was would be 487 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:06,719 Speaker 1: an issue in how how many miles on it?

Let's let's let's change 489 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: all the drive let's change all the drive line fluids. 490 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: A because it was immersed in water. B. It's not 491 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: exactly sunshine in Wisconsin year round, and it's I'm sure 492 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,360 Speaker 1: it's been out in its share of bad weather. Right, 493 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: it's a four wheel drive vehicle. You know, it's you guys, 494 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: you know it's it's out and tough weather and all 495 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: of that plays apart. And see it's got fifty thousand 496 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: miles on. It's time to change all the drive line 497 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: fluids anyway, and I mean, let's do differential. Let's do 498 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 1: transfer case if it hasn't been done yet, let's do 499 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: trans Let's do the front differential. And while we're worried 500 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: about fluids, let's change break fluid. Let's do a break 501 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,719 Speaker 1: fluid flush. And you know you'll you'll be amazed at 502 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: a how much better the break pedal feels. If it's 503 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: done right, and you're promoting the longevity and the life 504 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: of the rest of the drive line. You know it's 505 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: it's fluids. Fluids do have a finite life. And you're 506 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: gonna find that all doing all this stuff, much to 507 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: the dismay of marketing departments of car companies, because it 508 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: makes cars last longer. But guess what, it makes cars 509 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: lest longer. It's worth doing. All right, we get wonderful. 510 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: You're very welcome, sir. Good luck to you. Um, yeah, 511 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: it's still you know, as complicated as cars are, as 512 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: technologically driven as computer chip mounted they are. It just 513 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: takes just just maintenance. Just just do some maintenance to 514 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 1: the car and you'll be amazed about how far it'll go. 515 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: So just food for thought. Eight five zero zero running 516 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: any of the car. Doctor gonna pull over and take 517 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: a pause. We'll be back right after this. Don't go away, Hey, 518 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: welcome back. Naming the car doctor. Let's some I want 519 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about your rate. And I 520 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: thought this would be an interesting story. We fixed this 521 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: car recently at the shop at two thousand four. Toyota 522 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: Sianna came in and it had a your rate sensor. 523 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: Ful your rate, all right, it's not yawn rate now 524 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: because we're coming to the end of the show, Tony, 525 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: stay awake, all right. It's your rate. Is when you're 526 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: driving down the road and you step hard on the brakes, 527 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: the front of the car dips right, it drops, it's 528 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: it's your It's like think of a boat, all right, 529 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: and they call it your rate. Well, there's a your 530 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: rate sensor that can tell what the angle is of 531 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: the front, the back, and the sides of the vehicle. 532 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: So it knows how stable is the car going into 533 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: a fast brake application, or a high speed turn, or 534 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 1: an a B S event or a traction control events, 535 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: something along those lines. They have to know what the 536 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: inclination is of the vehicle. They've got a your rate sensor. 537 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: This particular Toyota had a your had had fault codes 538 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: twelve ten and twelve thirty four, which ultimately led to 539 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: the failure of the or the diagnosis of the your 540 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: rate censor. It failed. It's twelve ten. Is the zero 541 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: point calibration becomes undone? The point at which, how can 542 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: I explain it, the point at which the censor is 543 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: at rest? All right? Uh, you know, stand still for 544 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: a minute, get your balance, get a sense of where 545 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: you are. That's zero point calibration. That's where you are 546 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: in the room. Tony, stay awake, all right, Tony, Tony, 547 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: Tony's meditating his belly button here, all right. So that's 548 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: zero point calibration. Now, as Tony goes walking down the hall, 549 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: or you drive your your vehicle down the road, if 550 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: you step on the brake hard or Tony slips his 551 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 1: your rate, your your rate is off, your your nose 552 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: down the computer tries to compensate Tony's case. It tries 553 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: to pull him back to keep him from slipping and 554 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: falling and hurting himself. The vehicle computer will try by 555 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: application of break as you're breaking, to control which way 556 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: the vehicles going. It creates stability. So the zero point 557 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: calibration came undone and the twelve thirty four was just 558 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: the general sensor circuit full. So I went through some diagnosis. 559 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: I went through and looked at the connector using a 560 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: multi meter, and you know, I verified I had five 561 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: power supply. I had um, you know, less than a 562 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: hundred million volt drop across ground. I have verified signal out. 563 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: And I found that the censor itself was bad. I'm 564 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: coming to the point in a minute, Tony, stay awake. 565 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: Turns out that when you replace the censor. And I 566 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: knew this and I thought this tighten with my comments 567 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: before about scan tool. Turns out that when you replace 568 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: the your rate censor on this car, like a lot 569 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: of cars, you've got to go through a your rate 570 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: signal reset, meaning you've got to have a computer to 571 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: talk to the car. Computer. You've got to tell it, hey, 572 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: look at me. I changed this part all right. That 573 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: allows the computer to reset the your rate. That helps 574 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: it find I want to go back to that again. 575 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: You don't just stand still the middle of the room 576 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: mind zero your rate sensor calibration. Sometimes I think we 577 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: all need to calibrate our us censor in the middle 578 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: of the week. So the point becomes when you look 579 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: at scan tools, you know a lot of you call 580 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: me up and say, hey, Ron, I want to buy 581 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: a scan tool that can do everything where I wanted 582 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to do what the dealer does, or I 583 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: wanted to be able to work on the car. And 584 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: O B D two scan tool, something that only speaks 585 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: O B D two language cannot do a your rate 586 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: sensor calibration. It doesn't have special function and controls built 587 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: into it. But something like a snap on Modus or 588 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: an O T C Evolve or a launch X four 589 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: thirty one, they will have special functions built into them 590 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: on the manufacturer's side of the tool. Something other than 591 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: O B D two. Now interesting to note because and 592 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: we've gotten and I thought of all of you when 593 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: I did disrepair in that the C twelve ten and 594 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: the C twelve thirty four. The faults that were in 595 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: the traction control says them. You wouldn't pick those out 596 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: using an o b D two generic tool, reason being 597 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: O b D two is only vehicle emissions. The point 598 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: of all this is that scan tools are you know, 599 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: they're just as important as a screwdriver today as a 600 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: screwdriver was thirty years ago. Maybe it's as important as 601 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: a hammer as to some repair shops today, I'm not 602 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: really sure I'll fix it, so point being that when 603 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: you're working on something, make sure you've got a scantl 604 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: that'll deal with it. This car had been to more 605 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: than a few repair shops. They didn't have the ability 606 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: to reset the yaw sensor. We put a new YU 607 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: sensor in it, reset it, cleared the code. Car has 608 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: been fixed it some gone ten days, and it really 609 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: is coming down to the age of specialization. You can 610 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: see where things are going to be in a very 611 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: short period of time. I think in the next two 612 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: to five years, you're gonna start to see repair shops 613 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: putting up signs that we work on these four or 614 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: five specific vehicles that you know brands Toyota, Honda, four 615 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: g M, Christ that kind of thing. Because the technology 616 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: is just increasing exponentially and it's becoming a concern for everybody, 617 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: from repair shops to vehicle manufacturers to scan tool manufacturers. 618 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: And you wonder how and when and what we're gonna 619 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: be able to do to keep up. So but UM, 620 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: just be aware. A simple thing like a an old 621 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: for Toyota Siana, a mommy go to soccer vehicle. Uh, 622 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, changing you all right? Since you got a 623 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: scan tool does special function and reset. Um, it's all 624 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: part of the process. Eight five five scan there, it 625 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: is there he is. Tony's awake. Thank god, I was worried. 626 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: Eight five five five zero nine nine zero zero. Run 627 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: nading the car doctor coming back to wrap it up 628 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: right after this, Hey, welcome back right on nad of 629 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: the car doctor. Eight five zero nine zero zero. Keep 630 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: in mind that number is seven. Uh, we're gonna go 631 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: off the eren a little bit here. But you can 632 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: call a five five five zero nine zero zero and 633 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: there's twenty four our messaging service there. You can call 634 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: and leave a message and motorhead met We'll call you 635 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: during the week and get you in the get you 636 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: in the queue for next week's show. The next live 637 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: broadcast Saturday afternoons to to four pm. On the network. 638 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: And keep in mind, wherever you are, you can call 639 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: eight five five six zero nine zero zero Saturday's two 640 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: to four pm Eastern time here in the continental United States, 641 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: and not only will you get to talk to me, 642 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: but you get to talk to motorhead Matt, who has 643 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: an expensive I found out it's not an extensive knowledge 644 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,479 Speaker 1: of automobiles, but an expensive knowledge of automobiles after he's 645 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: tried three pairent. But that's a whole another story. Um. Anyway, 646 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: Steve Rose and Fall has written me once again. I 647 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: love Steve. He's a great guy. Down Virginia Way, Rod, 648 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: I'm amazed at a state with so many regulations. He 649 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: makes some really solid points here. I'm amazed at a 650 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: state with so many regulations. He's referring to New Jersey. 651 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: Try owning, let alone carrying a handgun there, such as 652 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: New Jersey is so laxed with auto inspections. The Virginia 653 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: inspection once a year is pretty superficial, but at least 654 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: it's something tires, breaks, suspension and lights. Parts of the 655 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: state required a mission inspection, which is a read out 656 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: of the o b D two once a year as well. 657 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: The more rural areas are exempt. You know, Steve makes 658 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: an excellent point. How come you can't carry a gun. 659 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: It's hard enough to own a gun, let alone carry 660 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: a gun in New Jersey. But you can put somebody 661 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: in a three thousand pound missile with bad ball joints, 662 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: ball tires, cracked windshield and no windshield wipers. You can 663 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: go down the road at sixty miles an hour in 664 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: the dark. And you know what's that old expression Ted 665 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: Kennedy's car has killed more people than my gun has? Um? 666 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: Remember that bumper sticker from the sixties of the seventies 667 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: see Tom I never forget. I'm like an elephant, all right? Um? 668 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: Full moon day at the shop n Lincoln with dry road, 669 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: at tires and a dragging break. I love Steve. He 670 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: gives me the update on what I got this. Want 671 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: to get this in real quick? What an idiot this 672 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: owner is? He should get rid of the car and 673 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: just take kids. He'd probably saved money overall if he 674 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: only goes two thousand miles a year. He shouldn't drive 675 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: the car a block. You know what, Steve, I think 676 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: you're right. Maybe this guy should get into habit of 677 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: calling uber versus getting rid of the car, the cost 678 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: of insurance. It probably would be a lot cheaper in 679 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: a long run. Steve, keep the letters coming. I love 680 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: them all, and I love all of you. Thanks for 681 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: letting me be part of your day. I'm rounding any 682 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: in the car doctor, reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive, 683 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: they're priceless. See you
