Speaker 1: they're just so gosh darn important to us as uh,

50
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: and it seems like they're getting more important as we

51
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: go forward because they're getting so very very complex and um,

52
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: just something to be aware of. So, by the way,

Speaker 1: an interview scheduled down around the bottom of the air,

56
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: but we dumped it because we want to get as

70
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: in any event, let's get over and let's kick open

71
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: the garage doors. Tom, what do you say? We start

72
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: with Bill online one or a Dell, New Jersey and

73
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: see what's going on here. Bill. Welcome to the car doctor, sir.

74
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: How can I help you? Bill? Yes? Uh, I have

75
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: a two thousand fifteen Toyota camera. I bought it November

76
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and fourteen, and a week ago I had

77
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: a loud noise in the rear of the car. I

78
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: thought I hit something. I can find no damage on

79
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: the car, and then I heard a round in my trunk.

80
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: Opened the trunk up and those torsion bars that go

81
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: across the back of the trunk were broken. They snapped

82
00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: off at the ends. So consequently, when you pop the

83
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: the real liad and you have to be careful closing

84
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: it because there's a lot of weight on that real lid.

85
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: So bring it to the dealer and they tell me,

86
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: oh it might not be covered unto warranty. It's just

87
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? The cause fourteen months old,

88
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: it's got about fourteen thousand miles. Well, Toyota won't want

89
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: to pay for it. They think that people are abusing it.

90
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: I says, I don't have much in this trunk. Oh

91
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: I do. Was carried my grandkids school bags or some groceries. Yeah,

92
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: who's telling you this bill? Is this? Is this a

93
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: service writer telling you this? Or is this service manager

94
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: at the Toyota dealer. So I told the guy, says, look,

95
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: while I'm here, why don't you make a phone call

96
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 1: to somebody about this because I don't want to pay

97
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: for for for this job? Three years, three years built,

98
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: three years bumper to bumper coverage. Right, That's what I thought,

99
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: So go ahead. So anyway, he comes back to me

100
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: and says, look, I have to put in a product

101
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: safety recall letter. I'm going to get the parts in

102
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: a week or so and i'm gonna call you. Well,

103
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: it hasn't called me yet. I put a call on

104
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: this to him. He never returned my phone call. So

105
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what else should I do or what should

106
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: I prepare for? What I would I would be looking

107
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: in the owner's manual bill and I would call Toyota

108
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: Corporate out in Towrens, California, and and I would take

109
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: I would take the position of three years bumper to

110
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: bumper as far as you're concerned the trunks between the bumpers,

111
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: isn't that covered? And and that's the bottom line. I

112
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,679
Speaker 1: know there's I know there's some specific things in that coverage.

113
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: They don't cover brake pads or tires wearing out and

114
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: things like that. But this is a body part. And

115
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, unless there are signs of abuse, unless they're

116
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: signs of you know, you were carrying firewood the trunk

117
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: of your car, which would be easy for the service

118
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: manager of the service tech to determine the splinters and

119
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: the debris that would be left behind if there's no

120
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: physical marks. Um. I think what they're doing is, in

121
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: my opinion, I think they're preparing you to double dip.

122
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: For lack of a better way to put it, I

123
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: think they're gonna charge it back to Toyota and they're

124
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: gonna charge you. And that nonsense goes on all day long.

125
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: Just have you ever heard of ease torsion bars breaking

126
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: on these new cars, not breaking, but around it's started

127
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: on some of the cameras and corollas where there are

128
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: complaints that the torsion bars are actually not strong enough

129
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: to lift or hold up the trunk lid once you

130
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: unlatch it. So and then there are ways there's conversation.

131
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: I think there's an adjustment there. There's conversation about how

132
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: they've cranked up the adjustment. And my suspicion is that

133
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: maybe when this car was assembled or maybe this is

134
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: a true defect and this is this is a problem

135
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: for Toyota, that they weren't adjusted properly or they were

136
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: made too tight. And you know, just sitting there, let

137
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: me think about it. How often do you open your

138
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: your your trunk lid bill right once a day maybe

139
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: it depends, and put stuff in the car? You know,

140
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: you know most of the time those those torsion bars

141
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: are in the wound tight positions. So my suspicion is

142
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: that something here wasn't adjusted properly and it's a true defect.

143
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm stunned that they would come out and sit there

144
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: and say it may not be under warranty, right. So yeah,

145
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm waiting to hear from from them, but I'm wondering,

146
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: you know what may happen, and ask them, you know what,

147
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: show me the physical damage, show me the part where

148
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: I abuse this, and I'd be willing to pay for it.

149
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: Give me a reason. But if they don't, I would

150
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: talk to California. I would talk to the service department

151
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: and say, listen, this will be the last car you

152
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: see me buy, because that's nonsense. That really is all right?

153
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: Would you call me? But why are these new? Cause? Wait,

154
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: it so much on the rear lid. I don't understand.

155
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: I had a two thousand two. Did you just popped it?

156
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: It was nice and easy and you close it? Well,

157
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: now it drops like a dead weight. Right, They're not

158
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: The tortion bars are not strong enough to hold the

159
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: lids up. And that's what I'm hearing in a lot

160
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: of cases, which makes me wonder, why did that pop?

161
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: Why did that come loose? And that doesn't that doesn't

162
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: make any sense either. Let's let's see the let's wait

163
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: till they fix it, Bill, Let's see what they do

164
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: and then we'll talk from there. Stay on the line.

165
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: We want to send out around any of the car

166
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: doctor t shirt to you let Harry get your information

167
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: and they will be glad to send that out to you.

168
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: This way. Maybe that'll help alleviate some of the pain

169
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: and remind you. We want to hear the end result

170
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: of this. We'll we'll hold trial in jury up here

171
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: on national radio for Toyota and see what they do

172
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: about this that that doesn't make a lot of sense,

173
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: and I'm hoping they do the right thing. Let's go

174
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: over and talk to Charles Line to Homedale, New Jersey,

175
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: and some questions about car parts. Charles, Welcome to the

176
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: car doctor. Sir, how can I help? I'm calling him.

177
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: I just had a quick question to you. My wife

178
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: had a two thousand seven Alexis r X three fifty,

179
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: which we traded in a few weeks ago. But on

180
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: the on the engine on that car, I noticed, uh,

181
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, when I'm filling up the window washing stuff,

182
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: that all the clamps that hole hold is on and

183
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: ends of clamps everything rusted rusting through. Now she also

184
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: had a Now she has a two thousand twelve r

185
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: X three fifty and the same thing starting to happen again.

186
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: All the clamps are rusted. Russia. I don't mean just

187
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, surplus, rusts rusting through I have, I have

188
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: old the cause and I have a two thousand five

189
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: price of three hundred and nothing is russ. Everything looks

190
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: like you know the Diday I bought it. I'm just

191
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: as clamps inferior. Uh there's something different about them. It

192
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: makes you wonder. Yeah, you'd have to say that they

193
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: were intreated properly or there there are a product of

194
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: of of design. I can't think of anything else other

195
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: than that, Charles. I mean, as a rule, I haven't

196
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: noticed that. I do notice there are some cars that

197
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: when people talk to me about what to buy and

198
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: not to buy, I will tell them, like, for example,

199
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: if we were having a conversation about Mazda. Uh my, my,

200
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: my opinion is a humble mechanic. These past many years,

201
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: I have not seen Masda's improved in terms of their

202
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: ability to resist rusting. And you show me a new

203
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: Masda and show me that same car five six years later,

204
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: and it's rusted in places that normal cars are not.

205
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: And that's what I'm seeing. Yeah, it's it's now. If

206
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: Lexus is starting to do this, that makes me scratch

207
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: my head. Of course, Lexus is part of Toyota. And

208
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: based on our last color telling me that the torsion

209
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: bars for his trunklet fell out on a year old car,

210
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: it makes me wonder what's going on over at Toyota.

211
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: But I have not seen that as a hard failure, Charles,

212
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: I have not. I have not seen that as a

213
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: constant observation, but I will keep an eye on it.

214
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this if it helps ease your pain.

215
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: And I'm glad to be able to do this today.

216
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: Stay on the line fast, har is gonna send you

217
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: out to round and any of the Car Doctor t

Speaker 1: you doing good? What's going on? I've got a two

248
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: thousand seven shifty Silverado and it's got a four dot

249
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: eight engine in it, four speed arrow and uh, it's

250
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: driving me up a tree because it won't start. At times.

251
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: I can go two or three days and started, and

252
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: can go out the third day and it's won't start.

253
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: Now I've spent a number of hours and money, had

254
00:12:53,200 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: repair shops, local Chevy dealer, and the district office for GM. See,

255
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: nobody has a clue as to law. I'm wondering how

256
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: they're diagnosing it. Run. Do they give you any indication?

257
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: Do they talk about any of the tests that they're doing.

258
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: Have they aliminator test, a fuel pump pressure test? Why

259
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: why are they doing? And boy, if you could see

260
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: the look on my face right now, I'm bewildered. Why

261
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: are they doing a fuel pump pressure test and a

262
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: charging system test? I understand the charging system test. Actually,

263
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: why are they doing a fuel pump pressure test on

264
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: a car that the battery goes dead on? Well? I

265
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: don't know if they figure something short it out or something.

266
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: I just can't figure it out myself. And they say

267
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: it's a normal procedure. Okay, what do you do? What? What?

268
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: What do you do for a living? Run I'm retired.

269
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: What do you do uh Bell's system telephones? Correct? Okay,

270
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: so you know you know what I'm gonna ask you, right,

271
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: an electrical draw test. You're familiar with what I'm talking about.

272
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: So why haven't they done to draw test? A local

273
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: UH auto parts store did and as they did it,

274
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: it would start out at fourteen amps and they would

275
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 1: slowly received and and where would it go? And how

276
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: did they do this draw test? They disconnected a battery

277
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: cable and put a digital voltomemeter okay, and they got

278
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: it down to a tow under an acceptable draw correct sir? Okay?

279
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: Like I said, I've changed two or three batteries. Yeah,

280
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: that's not the answer. Um. So what I've got to

281
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: make an assumption of is something is staying alive. Alright,

282
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: something is something is on there. There's an intermittent drain

283
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: or draw any aftermarket any aftermarket accessories in this vehicles?

284
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: It all stock stuff. No, Um, it came with a

285
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: edge programmer and I have a satellite radio on it.

286
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: Okay and aftermarket radio correct? All right? If have you

287
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: tried disconnecting that radio from its power source for for

288
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: a short time to see if the drug goes away

289
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: or the failure goes away. After the first two incidents,

290
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: I've disconnected everything. When I get out of the vehicle. Okay,

291
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: when it doesn't start, you turn the key on. Do

292
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: you have dash lights or is this truck stone dead? No?

293
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: I I get dash light and I have dome light. Okay,

294
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: so you have lights, but you turn the key and

295
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: nothing happens. All right, Then how do you get the

296
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: truck started? Well, I have to get my charger out

297
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: and charge it for a spell, and then they don't start,

298
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: all right. Have you tried the the old age trick

299
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: of turning on the headlights to see how bright they are? Uh? No,

300
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: I haven't tried that because they're normally bright when I

301
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: first get in and turn the key. Okay. Have you

302
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: tested battery voltage at the moment when it doesn't start?

303
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: Not myself? No? Okay? And well did somebody else? Did

304
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: the dealership do it? Or did depart store do it?

305
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: The dealership did, because I've asked him if he had

306
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: tried that. Well, but but did they actually, you know

307
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to get to. As you go out there,

308
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: you turn the key, you go to crank, you have dashlights?

309
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: Has anybody caught it in the act where they can

310
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: then at that moment go and measure battery voltage. No, Unfortunately,

311
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: I left ahead my local repair shop for three days

312
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: and you went out twice a day and they started

313
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: right off. Okay, here's what I want. Here's what I

314
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: want somebody to do. All right, let's let's cut to

315
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: the chase because this and again from my seat here,

316
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: I've got to make a judgment call. And my job

317
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: as a technician is to get to the middle of

318
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: the problem as fast as I can so I can

319
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: get to the end of the problem. What I'd like

320
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: to see somebody do is go find the solenoid feed

321
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: wire at the starter, all right, trace it back, find

322
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: a convenient location. I want them to wire in a

323
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: one four that's the part number, A one four side

324
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: marker bulb into that harness sudde my side marker bulb,

325
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, like a parking light bulb. Okay, Um, we

326
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: use is because they're small and they're relatively cheap, and

327
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: the the harnesses are relatively cheap. And basically what I

328
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: want them to do is I want it wired in

329
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: so that when you start the truck, when you put

330
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: the truck in crank mode, that bulb lights up, all right,

331
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: So for the next two weeks, if that bulb lights

332
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: up every time, we know it's got power down to

333
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 1: the starter, and they can put that bulb anywhere. They

334
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: can wire that bulb so it's you know, somewhere conveniently

335
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: where you can see it in the passenger compartment, or

336
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: you can wire it under the hood. And when the

337
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: truck finally dies, is the ballb blit or not? All right?

338
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: When that truck doesn't start, first question, is that bulb blit?

339
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: If that bulb is lit, then we have signaled to

340
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: the starter. My next step would be to check connection

341
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: at the starter on the heavy battery cable. Is it

342
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: corroded your in Vermont? Lots of salt, lots of corrosion, alright,

343
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: lots of rust. What does it look like on the

344
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: starter stud are we are they being fooled into thinking

345
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: this is a battery issue when in doubt it's it's

346
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: a starter that's got an intermittent open or failure going on.

347
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: If that bulb or a dead spot, If that bulb

348
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: is not lit, call me back and then we'll talk

349
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: about what to do next, because that'll be step two.

350
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: All right, Ron, Hey, stay on the line, Ron fast,

351

00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: We've got a bunch of calls backed up. Everybody wants

Speaker 1: that car doctor T shirt today. Anybody that calls in

361
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: and makes it to air gets one. Let's start off

362
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: with Dave and Franklin Maine. Some questions about as a launcher. Yes, Dave,

363
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: how can I help you? Sir? Hi? Ron? How are

364
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: you today? Good? What's going on? Okay? I've got a

365
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: two thous fourteen launcher that I drive about fifty tho

366
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: miles a year on the absolute horse roads in the

367
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: country anywhere from defer Shan highways, two lane highways and

368
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: banned roads, fire roads, gravel roads. And I'm trying to

369
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: I need a set of tires kind you see one

370
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: of the best players I can put on this that's

371
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: going to give me the gas Miley performances and a

372
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: little bit of longevity. The original equipment stuff were about

373
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: thirty yeah, what they have on their originally Dave something

374
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: like that. And you know, it's a funny thing when

375
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: you look at tires and what to buy. Sometimes the

376
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: most expensive isn't the best. It doesn't always work like that.

377
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: And you know, somebody like you that's you know, for

378
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: lack of a better way to put it, you're a

379
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: little tough on tires. You're on all kinds of roads,

380
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: as you admit, Uh, you know, you're you're all over

381
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: the place. I think it's also about bang for the buck.

382
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: And you know, you're you're looking at that. If you

383
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: got fifty thousand out of the tires and you know

384
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: they didn't last as much as the seventy thousand mile tire,

385
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: but you paid half the price, you're ahead of the game.

386
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: And and and and that's really there. And what I'm

387
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: gonna tell you is I really do like the general tire.

388
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: I really do like like like for example, they're Auto

389
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: max RT forty three UM. And it's it's not that

390
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: it's a cheap tire. It's not that it's a lesser

391
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: quality tire. It's just that you don't need to spend

392
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: stratosphere price tags to get a good quality tire today.

393
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of engineering that goes into a General

394
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: Tire um. You know some of the things I like

395
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: about them. They've got an early warning alignment indicator. It's

396
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: a little tab on the outer edge of the tire

397
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: that as the tire goes down the road, depending upon

398
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: how it wears, it will you can look at and decide, hey,

399
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: is my car in alignment? And it's the nice thing

400
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: is you will know by looking at this before you

401
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: get ball tires on the outside edge, whether or not

402
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: it's out of a line. It's it's it's important. They've

403
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: got they've got something called p A s D Peak

404
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: Anti slip Design technology where they've actually made more edges

405
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: of the tread to give more biting surface for better

406
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: traction under tough conditions. And it's those little things that

407
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: just make it a better tire. You can find more.

408
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: I won't I won't pour you with all the details, Dave,

409
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: but you can find more at General tire dot com.

410
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: And I'll just I'll just suggest that you take a

411
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: look there and stay on the line. Lets fast Terry

423
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: it when we least expect it. Let's do a quick

424

Speaker 1: you know, here's the deal. Let's do a cook piece

429
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: of email. Hey, Ron, I listen on our local podcast

430
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: on our local station here in bang Remain, and I've

431
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: got some questions about my two thousand, Dakota that's developed

432
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: an engine noise recently, and I'm wondering if you could

433
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: give me some next steps to determine what the noise

434
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: is and how to proceed. And the conversation goes, I'll

435
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: give as much of information as i ken. And this

436
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: is a probably a three page email. Let's let's cut

437
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: this down to uh, I'll tell you what better yet,

438
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: Frank's back. Let's go talk to Frank. We'll save this

439
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the error. Hey, Frank, what's going

440
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: on a little bit of technical difficulty? There? We on

441
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: live radio? You got a thing quick? Do you know?

442
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: I worked with over Rockland. I've been on who Wants

443
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: to Be Evolved Me? I'm a vompy fine and I've

444
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: done that Fridy afternoon, so you know what happens. But

445
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: what's what's going on? Frank? Okay two thousand to Ford Explorer.

446
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: I got no heat. He's working fine. I left from

447
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: Blackland over to Greenwich, got in a call with my wife,

448
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: came on, had no heat. When I'm understanding is beard

449
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: is a flapper door that closes and open for the heat. Correct.

450
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm doing some research on how to get to it

451
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: radicates the whole day spot. Have you ever replaced one

452
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: of those? Yeah, And I'll tell you what if if

453
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: if If it's the door I'm thinking about, the Blend

454
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: door actuator or the Blend door itself. The dashboard has

455
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 1: to come apart. There are some companies out there if

456
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: you Google search Blend door replacement or Blend door replacement

457
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: without dashboard removal, depending on how you want to word it.

458
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: There are some companies out there making kits that allow

459
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: you to basically, and depends on the application, it's not

460
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: every vehicle that allow you to use a drammal tool.

461
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: Cut away the evaporator case, section it out, slide a

462
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: piece out, slide a piece in, and then they give

463
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: you a means in the kit to put the patch

464
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: panel back in. Keeping in mind that you want to

465
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: make as need to cut as possible, because what you

466
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: take out is what you're going to use to go

467
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: back in the case, along with whatever means they give

468
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: you to seam, seal it or seal it back to

469
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: the case. So we're looking at we were looking at

470
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: myself and my friend of mine that we do some work.

471
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: We're looking at possibly pulling out the radio and getting

472
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: it that way, you may. But if it hasn't been done,

473
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what, here's where I would go,

474
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: look at YouTube to see if anybody else has done it,

475
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: because as as hard as it is to uh comprehend,

476
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: maybe sometimes for some people, trust me, you're not the

477
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: first guy to think of it. Um. If you are,

478
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: you can patent it. But if it's not there on YouTube,

479
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: I would think it wouldn't work. I mean, listen, it's

480
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: not gonna hurt you, it's not gonna hurt anything to try.

481
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: And it's surely the first step, you know, cutting the

482
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,959
Speaker 1: dash or cutting the ev APP is not uncommon. Some

483
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: of the car companies do it. Jeep does it, Chrysler

484
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: does it. Chrysler has a kid for it on some

485
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: of the Jeeps. Because the Jeeps are so abysmally difficult

486
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: to remove, the whole dashboard has to come out. So

487
00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: by all means, if a little plastic piece on here

488
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: the door connext to and that drives out and breaks

489
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: it crack, yeah, and you get click click click click

490
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: click when you turn on the heat. Now, that's now.

491
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: That's not to say the actuator itself isn't bad either,

492
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: This might not be a door, This could be an actuator.

493
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: So what I would tell you to do is, I

494
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: would you know if it was in the shop. To

495
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: be a different conversation, we took a scan tool up

496
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: and use them using bidirectional control. We'd try to move

497
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: the flap. What can we do? And are we getting

498
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: any kind of body codes or GEM module flults? But

499
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: what I would tell you to do is, if you

500
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: can get to the actuator, pull the actuator off. How

501
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: does the door feel? Does the door feel broken? Does

502
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: the door feel like it's stripped on its mounting? And

503
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: if that's the case, then the door have to be replaced.

504
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: If not, it's an actuator. I think it's just that

505
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: plastic piece because we did one in another car and

506
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: I said, oh my god, another one. What's going on here?

507
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: Not unusual? Not unusual? Hey, Frank? Stand And we came

508
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: the game from Brandwich, Connecticut over over that night with

509
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: mom and uh my wife said that she was bungled

510
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: up like she was doing tobogging. I'll tell you what

511
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do is we're gonna send you out

512
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: something that might keep you a little bit warmer. Is

513
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: let's send out a Ron and eating in the car

514
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: doctor t shirt to you. Stay on the line fast, Harry.

515
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: I'll get your information and by all means, like I said,

516
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: go Google search door replacement without dash removal and see

517
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,959
Speaker 1: what you come up with and let me know. Hey,

518
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: make out, Frank, Glad to take the call. Zero nine

519
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: zero zero. We're back right after this bad night. Welcome back,

520
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: cordininating the car doctor kind of disc going away this

521
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 1: afternoon as we get the get the job done. Let's

522
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: go and talk to Isaac Lacrosse, Wisconsin, nine zero. Isaac,

523
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: you're wrong with the car doctor, Sir? How can help here? You? Ron?

524
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: I just got a pretty simple question maintenance. Why so

525
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: two thousand four Volkswagen Jetta just a two point o

526
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: regular engine. It's got a hundred three thousand miles on

527
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: it right now. UM, it's been doing all right? Question

528
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: is UM trying to do a good job with kicking

529
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: up on the maintenance? UM? And however, I was considering

530
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: doing a transmission fluid flush on it and kind of

531
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: taking a look at that UM on that vehicle, though

532
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 1: it's sealed dous so I can't really check it. So

533
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: I just want to kind of get your opinion, you know,

534
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: because I've heard back and forth. You know, on higher

535
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: marriage vehicles, if you do a flush you can cost damage. Um.

536
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: That whole debate going back and forth the way I

537
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: would do this, you know, let me ask you this, Isaac,

538
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: Are you the original owner on the car? You know,

539
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,239
Speaker 1: I've had it for four or five years now? All right,

540
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: what mileage did you buy it at? I bought it

541
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: at nifty two, so I put around, what'd you pay

542
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: for it? Well? Okay, so at this point the car

543
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: doesn't know you a nickel exactly bottom line. So you know,

544
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: there's a couple of perspectives here and only you can

545
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: make this decision. And I believe me, I go through

546
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: this all week long. Yes, changing trans fluid on an

547
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: older high mileage anything Volkswagen not excluded from that can

548
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: be an issue. The reason is trans automatic transmission fluid

549
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: is a very high detergent fluid. It will scrub varnish

550
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: in particulate off the walls of the trans and it

551
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: can kick up, It can kick up the muck, so

552
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: to speak, and and create issues. However, nothing lasts forever,

553
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: and at some point it's got to get changed or

554
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: you're headed for a trans now, I would tell you that.

555
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, there are ways you can check the

556
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: fluid condition, and one of the key factors in deciding

557
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: whether or not you should do this would be to

558
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: look at the fluid condition, because if the fluid is

559
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: that dank and dark and dirty, you're headed for a

560
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: trans anyway, you might as well do it and see

561
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: if you can help it and and get a little

562
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: bit of longer life out of it. You know, are

563
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: there any performance issues with the trans at this point?

564
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: Trans is running fun? No? No, I mean everything's fine.

565
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: It's just the concept of I want to keep it

566
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, I would. I'm I'm a I'm a

567
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: dice roller, Isaac. I I look at fluid condition and

568
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: if it's reasonably clean, you know, even if it's borderline

569
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: on the fringe of going to the dark side, so

570
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: to speak, No pun intended. I would change the fluid

571
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,959
Speaker 1: because first of all, I want to change the fluid

572
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna monitor how the trans reacts for

573
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks because I want to be prepared.

574
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: I want to know that I gave that two hundre

575
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: thousand mile trans every opportunity in the world to survive.

576
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: And if I can make it past three or four

577
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: weeks with no check engine lights and slipping issues and

578
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: shifting issues and anything else transmission wise, I got away

579
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: with it and it worked, and then I would put

580
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: it on a regular maintenance plan and and and drive

581
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: it until it did fail. Understanding that it is two

582
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: hundre thousand miles and you know old age could take

583
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: it six months from now. Anything's possible. You know, maintenance,

584
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: just as I always have said, maintenance just puts the

585
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: odds and the tables in your favor. It doesn't prevent

586
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: you from the gremlin. So if it were me, I

587
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: would look at fluid condition and I would be mindful.

588
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: If the fluid is that dirty, that hideous, that it's

589
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: just frightful to change. You got to think about replacing

590
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: the trans before it does if you want to keep

591
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: the car, because chances are if you did the trans

592
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: early you would you would have less damage and not

593
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: get stuck somewhere and go through that aggravation. And if

594
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: the fluid, if the fluid is you know, cleaner, then

595
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: changing it now can only help. And like I said,

596
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm a gambler. I tend to I tend to air

597
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: to the side of caution. I would tell you to

598
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,959
Speaker 1: change the fluid after you look to condition. And if

599
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,959
Speaker 1: you did change it, because I mean, I've heard, you know,

600
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: some people will hook it up to a machine that

601
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: blows all that out, and I've heard other people say, no,

602
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: it's better just kind of letting drain out on its

603
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: own and replace it. I guess I would do a

604
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: way to kind of lessen that possible impact. Yeah, I

605
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: would do it. I would do this in stages. If

606
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm changing it my first time through, I would do

607
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: a drain in fill so that you know, if for example,

608
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: there's eight courts in this system, maybe I'm gonna get

609
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: three maybe four courts out, so I'm gonna dilute it

610
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: down and and and not do a complete exchange. And

611
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: then I would drive it for five to eight thousand miles,

612
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: but definitely by ten thousand miles, I would do a

613
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,239
Speaker 1: complete exchange at that point. And then I would put

614
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: it on a regular diet of regular maintenance and and

615
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: and so forth. But yeah, doing it a little bit

616
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: of a time. It's it's sort of like when you

617
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: first get up in the morning, you're in shock. So's

618
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: the car. So you know, let's let it wake up. Hey, Dave,

619
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Dave. Isaac, I'm sorry, Isaac. Stay on the line.

620
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: Let let fast Harry. We've talked to so many people today.

621
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: Let Fast Harry get your information. We're gonna send you

622
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: out to run and any in the Car doctor T

623
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: shirt and we'd be happy if you take a picture

624
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: of it. Take a picture of yourself standing next to

625
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: the car with a T shirt and we'll put it

626
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: up on the car Doctor Facebook page. I'm running any

627
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: in the Car Doctor. I am back right after this kid,

628
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back, run nating the card doctor. Right five zero

629
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: zero zero, real quick, we're gonna squeeze into Bob Phillipsburg,

630
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: New Jersey. You got sixty scans, Robert, what's going on?

631
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: I got after that? And I just funny to let

632
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 1: you know I've been talking to you since nine. Isn't

633
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: that crazy? Yeah? Yeah, anyway, votes wagen Beetle. I want

634
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 1: to see, uh, what's best to clean out the gas tank?

635
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: You got rust issues? Bob? No? Um, then what are

636
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: you're saying? Just it was older fuel, it was varnished.

637
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: There was never when I got the car there had

638
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 1: some been gas in the tank for quite a while. Okay,

639
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: then the first thing I would tell you to do

640
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 1: is find a local radiator shop that can boil gas

641
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: tanks and let them go through and boil. At the concert,

642
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have as the inside of the tank rusted

643
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: or corroded or decaying at all, requiring that it might

644
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: have to be coded. They make some um like a

645
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,959
Speaker 1: liquid liner that will basically be poured into the tank

646
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: once it's clean and act as a sealer so that

647
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: the decay doesn't rust or continue and obviously make leak.

648
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: But the bigger problem is rust breaks apart and gets

649
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: into the fuel system and goes into the carburetor, and

650
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: you know what kind of havoc that's going to create.

651
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: H So you know that's that's how I would approach it. Hey, Bob,

652
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: stay on the line, Let fast Harry get your information.

653
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:13,959
Speaker 1: Will send you out to rond eating the car doctor

654
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: T shirt I said we were gonna do. To this segment,

655
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: Let's go over and talk to Rob Farrell in New Jersey. Rob,

656
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: you got a minute. What's going on? Well? You take

657
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: base on the three year old batteries last week, the

658
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: last three years I could like to confirm that because

659
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: I put a couple of batteries in here and there

660
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: three years now, if you put two identical cars side

661
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: by side, one more cranking will it's been faster than

662
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: with now. It's the electrical motor is only gonna draw

663
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: what it needs. So it's the idea that it's the

664
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: reserve capacity of the battery in terms of strength and

665
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: how long it could keep up the duration of how

666
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: long it could keep up cranking that starter motor might

667
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 1: vary side by side. So that's you know, that's part

668
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: of the equation. Too key things to remember when you're

669
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: buying a battery rub and I say this all the time,

670
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: Bigger is really better, but it's also just as important,

671
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, not necessarily. I know people that are buying

672
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: thousand cold cranking amp batteries that aren't seeing the performance

673
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 1: out of them. And one of the things you've got

674
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: to think about is you can go so big that

675
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: the alternator is always working hard to kind of bring

676
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: that up to speed. Remember, electrical a lot of electrical

677
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: issues are based on demand and what things will draw

678
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: and how they will react to each other. So reasonable

679
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: cold cranking amperage of battery in terms of you know,

680
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: if if they're looking for six fifty as as Spec

681
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 1: eight fifties good, But the number one thing to consider

682
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: power frame grid technology. You can read more about that

683
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: online at at the Paraframe Grid Technology website. And by

684
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: the way, stay on the line, lift best, Harry, get

685
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: your information. We're gonna send you out to Ronan. Any

686
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: of the Car Doctor T shirt Rob. I appreciate the call.

687
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm running any of the Car Doctor. The mechanics aren't expensive,

688
00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: they're placeless. See you she gossip do
