My name 4 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.640 is Dan Ray. This is Nightside and WBZ in Boston, 5 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:13.119 and we had the lighted to have with us the 6 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:17.960 WBZ car guys, veteran guest here on Nightside and on 7 00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:22.559 several of the VZ talk programs, Larry and Scott. 8 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:24.960 Rubinstein, and we are gonna go right to the calls. 9 00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:27.640 Gentlemen. I think we had a clean first hour. I 10 00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:29.760 don't think we've left anything on the table. If we're 11 00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:31.559 ready to go, let's start hour number two. 12 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.679 No, no, we got Okay, well, I've got I did 13 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:37.880 leave something on the table. And I really want to 14 00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.240 humbly change my opinion. I believe the last call we 15 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.000 have was Wayne, Yes, Wayne, and I think I yeah. 16 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.479 I think I got a little confused with some numbers. 17 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:49.119 I didn't realize there was one hundred and fifty K 18 00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.280 on this and I actually rethought my opinion and I'm 19 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.039 changing it. And the reason why is if at that 20 00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:58.719 mileage it's Frida rad differential, Regardless of my opinion, the 21 00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:02.359 rad differentals means it was probably neglected and the fluid 22 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.120 was probably never serviced in it, something that I'm always 23 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:09.799 telling customers about at my current place that I work at. 24 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.519 So if he neglected if then the red differential was 25 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:16.959 neglected for all that time, it makes me rethink and 26 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.480 ask myself what else was neglected in that one hundred 27 00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:23.680 and fifty thousand miles. With that being said, I actually 28 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:25.760 agree with Larry and think that it's best that he 29 00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.040 probably walks away from it and looks at a different model. 30 00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:33.040 All right, well, Wayne, Wayne, you've had a second thought. 31 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.640 Here, so you can get two thumbs down from us 32 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:36.840 and find something else. 33 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.799 You got it, You got it, Wayne. Okay, let's now 34 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.879 go to Jay and Plymouth. Jay, you called back. I 35 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:43.599 promised i'd put you to the head of the line, 36 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:45.959 and here you are. You're on, Jay, go right ahead. 37 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:48.159 Do you hear me? 38 00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:50.840 I could hear you. Fine. I know you dropped off 39 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.079 before and I'm trying to do this as an accommodation 40 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:54.879 for you. Go right ahead. You're on with Larry Scott. 41 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:56.840 Well, thank you, guys, because I was I was in 42 00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.400 my car and I'm on top play. You know, they 43 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.879 didn't have any auto mechanics classes where I went to 44 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.319 high school. And my problem I have is I have 45 00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:09.159 a twenty twenty three Chevy bolt and apparently there are 46 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.400 rodents that really love eating the wires because they have 47 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:17.039 one or soy being component and I have I got 48 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.680 peppermint spray. But I wondered, what else can I do to, maybe, 49 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.199 you know, get rid of this problem. 50 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:25.919 What you do have an answer? 51 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:27.240 What do you got mice? 52 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:28.439 And I've got one too? 53 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:33.000 Go ahead, dead, Yeah, I'm sure they're not rats, but yeah, 54 00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:33.919 I think it's mice. 55 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.639 I'm thinking I think in mothballs, gentlemen. 56 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.000 Go ahead, all right, Well, first of all, we have 57 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.759 had customers that have that problem. There is a product 58 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.599 though called mouse Blocker, which you put under the hood 59 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.080 of your car, and it's attaches to your battery. The 60 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:55.280 install that is maybe twenty minutes at best, and it 61 00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.080 has flashing lights and it makes noises and it keeps 62 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.319 the rodents out of your engine bay. Now will they 63 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.360 go into your car? I don't know. I hope not. 64 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.159 They'll hopefully stay away from your car. But if you 65 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.560 keep food in your car, like packages of peanut butter 66 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.439 crackers and things like that, you're sending an open invitation 67 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.560 for these critics to come in and get fed. As 68 00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:24.599 far as your engine harness goes. Honda makes a hot 69 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.199 mustard tape and what people have been doing is buying 70 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.919 rolls of this tape and taping over the wire harness 71 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.599 with mustard tape, and that has resolved the issue. Because 72 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.560 a fuel injection harness or a computer harness can cost 73 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:45.400 thousands of dollars. However, be aware of this problem. 74 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:46.879 Jay. 75 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.759 If you get a computer harness that is eaten by 76 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.080 rodents and you've got a bill that's going to exceed 77 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.159 a thousand dollars, your insurance will cover it. 78 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.240 Well really, oh is that really? 79 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:08.639 Really? Yeah? And you have to let them know and 80 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.680 they will cover it. Similar to a car accident or 81 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.159 something of that nature. You are covered if the harness 82 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.800 gets eaten. Scott, you said that you wanted to add 83 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:17.120 to it. 84 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.000 Well, I mean, first of all, that was wonderful advice 85 00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.800 and exactly so. Firstly, in our shop, we've had I 86 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:27.120 can think of at least four this past season that 87 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.319 have done upwards five to ten thousand dollars worth of 88 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:35.800 damage due to destroying wiring harnesses. And what's required to 89 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.879 not just get the smell out, but the tear a 90 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:42.360 car apart, dig through all your wiring harnesses and repair everything. 91 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.279 The only other suggestion I had so calling your insurance 92 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.680 company is a brilliant idea, and they I've had more 93 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.120 insurance companies coming in and look at the vehicles. With 94 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.800 that being said, another product I know of. It's different 95 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.199 than most blocker. It's a product they sell I believe on. 96 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.800 It's called Grandpa Gus comes with like six pouches. It's 97 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:08.120 a very strong min mint smell. You can put them 98 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.120 under the engine bay, you can put them in the vehicle. 99 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.160 Funny quick, funny story. I had a customer in last 100 00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.360 week who was complaining that she has saw some mouse 101 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.160 signed the mouse heard in the vehicle, and she wanted 102 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:24.720 us to eradicate the mouse, but not kill it. And 103 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.600 I kind of had to, and I I pleasant, I 104 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.079 have a story I did once myself save a mouse 105 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:35.519 from a glute trap, so I get the caring about animals. 106 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.360 With that being said, you have to put a price 107 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:43.000 on it. Is it worth not eradicating that mouse in 108 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.759 a lethal way if need be ten thousand dollars, Because 109 00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:48.800 like I said, that's how much it can cost. Effects 110 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:50.600 of these things get in there and new damage. 111 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:51.360 That's all. 112 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:53.800 By the way, James, I could just add I'd like 113 00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:55.959 the channel Mint Romney for a moment here. 114 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.920 I don't think we should call them rodents. These are varmit. 115 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:02.519 Just there we go. 116 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:06.600 We talked about shooting varmits, so I'm gonna channel Mitt 117 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:10.480 Romney and uh get rid of your varmits. I hope 118 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:11.279 this has helped you. 119 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:12.879 I know, I don't. 120 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.279 I don't have a gun, Dan, so I don't know about. 121 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:17.120 To shoot them. 122 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.680 There's a very timely question, Dan, this is. 123 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.680 A very timely question.

I bought 187 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.960 the part. I saw that it takes a lot of 188 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.639 It takes several hours to to replace it on a 189 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:36.440 twenty twelve forward focus. It's underneath the car and a 190 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.639 lot of things had to be moved. So I took 191 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.360 it to my mechanic and before I got there the 192 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.600 code went away. But the reason I was worried about 193 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:51.919 this was that I would get a flapping sound when 194 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:57.159 I would turn turn the car on, playing with the 195 00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:01.000 air conditioning stuff. The flapping sound go away. If I 196 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.320 was on recycle, if if I one fresh air, flapping 197 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:10.320 sound would come on. It was not by the fan speed, 198 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:14.679 and it sounded like some sort of fluffer of was 199 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.200 causing it. When I went back to the when it 200 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.320 got some mechanic, the chickens and light had gone away, 201 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.639 and my mechanic said that you should probably change it anyway, 202 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:27.240 So we changed it and it made no difference on 203 00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:28.200 the flapping sound. 204 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:35.600 Okay, So if that flapping sides you're hearing when you're 205 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:40.200 working with the h back controls is a blend or actuate. 206 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.600 Now what that means is that when you go from 207 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:47.879 let's say, from recycle to fresh air, there's a little 208 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:50.960 door that opens and closes to either let fresh air 209 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.919 come in to your HVAC system. 210 00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:54.759 Or that's what it sounds. 211 00:10:55.320 --> 00:11:00.480 We are to recycle the ear that's inside of the car. Now, 212 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:04.720 there are several actuators or blendors in their car. There 213 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:09.039 is another one that controls the temperature, how much heater 214 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.919 core access or how much air conditioning access. It's very 215 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.080 easy to tell which one has gone. It's just a 216 00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:19.840 very small motor, about the size of the half of 217 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:24.200 a roll of quarters. And the problem is it's got 218 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:29.279 metal shafts in very cheap plastic gears, and the gears 219 00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:35.320 strip out. The biggest problem with those. Those motives themselves 220 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.879 are actually very low in cost, but in some cars, 221 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:43.799 gaining access to them is horrible. In some cases you 222 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:49.279 have to entirely remove the instrument panel from the debt, 223 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.279 from the gloff compartment all the way to the speedometer. 224 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:54.879 In some of them you can just take out the 225 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.360 glove box assembly and get to them. 226 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.519 I have a partial solution. If I turn it on 227 00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:08.320 with the fan on, I don't get the problem. 228 00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:15.679 M Well, it's going to come back and bite you. Eventually, 229 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.080 you know that the problem is here. What's the year 230 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:18.960 of the car? 231 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:21.799 Seldom twenty twelve. 232 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.120 I've got two hundred and nineteen thousand miles on it. 233 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.279 Okay. So practically speaking, how how much longer do you 234 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.320 want to keep the car? 235 00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.919 I'll keep it till the falls apart, until. 236 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:38.200 It falls apart, okay. So, knowing that you have a 237 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:42.480 blend or issue, why don't you get an estimate and 238 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:45.159 see if it's worth it? Because if this fails in 239 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.320 the middle of the winter and you can't get heat, 240 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.120 you're going to be sorry you did not heed this advice. 241 00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:52.399 I'm trying to help you out. 242 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:55.679 I hope that helps. 243 00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:57.480 It's just a question, I hope. 244 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:04.399 So we get the flapping sound or not? Well that Michael, right, 245 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:06.279 get lapping. 246 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:10.639 That flapping sound means that your HVAC unit is not 247 00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:13.000 working the way that you're asking it to the fact 248 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.080 that you could do it with your with your fan 249 00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:18.159 motor on, that's only going to work for so long. 250 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:21.919 And that's why I asked you, how long do you 251 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.080 plan to keep this? So why did you at least 252 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.240 get a price estimate of what it's going to cost 253 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.360 to change that and then you can make the intelligent 254 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.840 decision as to which way you want to go. Sheldon? 255 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:33.440 All right, Sheldon, I think you got some good advice 256 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.120 and I got full line, so I got to keep rolling. 257 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:36.960 Thank you so much. 258 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:38.799 Thank you guys. 259 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:40.559 Nice all right, take care of Sheldon. 260 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.720 You have a good night. And some of these are 261 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:45.759 it's like people whatever, We'll see what people think. Let's 262 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.559 go next to Angelo in Newton. Hey, Angela, welcome back 263 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:50.639 to night. So on your own with the WBC craw guys. 264 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:52.960 Go ahead, Angelo, I'm doing Dan. 265 00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:56.639 Thank you for taking my call that I got a question. 266 00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.639 I have a nineteen ninety six athlete fifty four, a pickup, 267 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.000 and it got forty eight thousand miles on it, and 268 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:08.279 all of a sudden it stops. I can crank the 269 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:11.360 engine and the billy wants to start and wants to stop. 270 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.120 Sometimes it starts idling ruck. If somebody told me that 271 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:17.000 could be the gas, is that true, and they said 272 00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:22.159 I should throw a fueling jet the cleaner in it. 273 00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:25.679 It certainly couldn't hurt, but I'm doubtful that's the problem. 274 00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:28.039 So when you start to let me ask you a question, 275 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:32.799 what is a ninety six five oh five eight? It's 276 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:37.639 four to sixty's got the big six point eight liter? 277 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.159 It should be yes, I think it was a six 278 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:45.559 six eight, Okay, No, seven to five. Excuse me, that 279 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.759 was a seven point five. I you remember those? Yep, 280 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:50.679 it was a seven to five. So you start the 281 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.960 vehicle and it wants to stall right out on you. 282 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.639 No, it stopped. I can crank the engine, but it 283 00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:59.399 takes a while, but to start, it won't start right away. 284 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.080 Okay. And what does it take for it to start? 285 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.200 Is it just always an extended crank and then once it, 286 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.720 once it does finally started, it runs fine. 287 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.799 Yeah, but then after a while sometimes it starts iving. 288 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:12.159 Grow up. 289 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:17.159 That's vitally okay. Does it seem like it's misfiring and 290 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:23.559 like it's down a cylinder? No, I'm more inclined to 291 00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:27.240 think you have a fuel pressure problem. If you if 292 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:29.799 you get up on top of that big motor, you'll 293 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:31.639 see you got a couple of fuel rails up there, 294 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:34.120 and it'll be a little port. It looks like almost 295 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:38.559 like a valve stem. It's a fuel pressure tap. Is 296 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:40.759 this something you working on yourself or having a having 297 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:42.679 a having a mechanic look at for you. 298 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:45.799 I don't have to have a mechanic look at it. 299 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:49.360 Okay, So so they should be I mean, this is 300 00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:53.720 pretty old technology for where we're at nowadays. Unfortunately with 301 00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.960 the with the older technology, it doesn't give us a 302 00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:59.799 lot of the info we get nowadays with all the 303 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:03.360 computers in there. With that being said, the very first 304 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.360 thing I would start to do is stop by checking 305 00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:09.679 the fuel pressure on it during cranking. You could those 306 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:14.639 were known for having leaking fuel pressure regulators, so I 307 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.559 wouldn't be surprised if there's a vacuum line that lives 308 00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:20.399 on top of the fuel pressure regulator that you may 309 00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:24.320 want to suggest if they check out, if they remove 310 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:26.639 the top of the vacuum line and find that it's 311 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.720 all gas written because if the regulator is faulty, you're 312 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.000 not going to get proper fuel pressure up to the rail. 313 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:36.240 So but I would that would I would absolutely start. 314 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:39.360 I you know, you can certainly try a can of 315 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:44.559 injection cleaner, but I'm hard pressed to think that there's 316 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:46.960 any mechanic in a bottle, not that I've ever seen, 317 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:50.240 but but definitely cannot hurt your cost. Start with the 318 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:52.240 fuel pressure check and that'll get you going in the 319 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:58.679 right directions. 320 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.080 By somebody says it could be even buying cheap gas too. 321 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:06.200 Is that right? Yet? Cheap cheap gas doesn't help. 322 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:08.960 I mean because you could have a you couldn't get 323 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.000 that usually turned out the new ball and me the 324 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:14.119 combustion cham aside. You end up with a vowve the 325 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:17.079 deposits and the thing is that nature. If there's water 326 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:20.039 in the gas, that's a different story. But at the 327 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:22.279 same time that they do the fuel pressure test, they 328 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:24.160 can take a fuel sample and you can test it 329 00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:24.640 for water. 330 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:28.559 Okay, because I need to put regular. 331 00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:31.960 Hope that helps. I got other folks behind us here, 332 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:33.640 angel I think you got a good answers. 333 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:36.319 Okay, Okay, guys, thank you. 334 00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:41.880 Angelo. I hate here. I just I want to give 335 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:46.160 everybody a chance. Gonna go next to Michael in Attamborough. Mike, 336 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:48.519 you were next on night side with the car guys to. 337 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:55.960 The car guys the professor. I bought another odd ball 338 00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.160 car to go along with my original lawn, the insight, 339 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.359 which is a quite desired him and I did get keybones, 340 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:03.680 but I still had it repaired. 341 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:06.400 By the way you take a left trun out of 342 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:12.359 anywhere and someone hits it, your fallt unbelievable. Unbelievable, even 343 00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:16.920 though you look. I bought and none of the little jokes. 344 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.200 Mercury Milan twenty ten hybrid. 345 00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:21.559 I love the car. 346 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:27.359 I love it and comfortable, first first time I bought 347 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:29.480 anything other than a GM with the tufting of. 348 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:32.759 I'm getting. 349 00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:41.359 I'm getting from the front end. On occasion, I'm told 350 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:44.039 maybe a swave, that maybe a ball joint. 351 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:44.799 What do we got? 352 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:47.960 What? 353 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:50.920 What are you getting again from the frontis I'm sorry. 354 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:52.640 A crunching. 355 00:18:55.119 --> 00:19:01.599 He's trying to make a noise, my phoney, gun badok So, 356 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:04.880 if you get a crunching noise up and down, in 357 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:08.279 most cases, that is a ball joint most cases. Now, 358 00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:11.799 if you have it on a drive on lift, the 359 00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:14.039 type of lift that you drive onto and then they 360 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:16.160 put the car up so your wheels have all the 361 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:20.319 pressure on them. If somebody bounces the car up and down, 362 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:25.240 and you have a stethoscope and the different components, you'll 363 00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:29.200 be able to isolate exactly where that noise is because 364 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.759 a similar noise could also be coming from a tirod 365 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:36.839 end ball in soccer assembly or a ball joint ball 366 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:42.640 in soccer's assembly. There are a couple items okay, okay, 367 00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.279 that year, but I'm sitting there right now twenty ten. 368 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.880 Do some of them still have the grease thing? I 369 00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:54.359 think some of them still have the grease from the 370 00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:58.279 fact time. Usually if they have been replaced, Yes, they 371 00:19:58.279 --> 00:19:59.839 should have a zert fitting on them. 372 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.000 Okay, So that thing can that think can break when 373 00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:03.960 I'm driving right? 374 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.279 It certainly can't.
