>> Aaron Clements (00:05):
And we do welcome you to the CNC Auto Show. I'm
Eric Clements here with Jamie Bridges.

>> Jamie B (00:09):
Hey, good morning, Jamie.

We're on the road again.

>> Jamie B (00:12):
We're on the road again.

Yeah, we need to play that Willie Nelson song On the
road again.
we are here at car show. We are at the.
We're, transmitting live here at the
St. Teresa's Church for the Lost in
the Fifties show.

>> Jamie B (00:28):
Yeah.

Car show. And, of course, the show won't
be starting for a little bit, but we already have some
items, they're already cooking over there.
There's a few cars sitting over there. Corvette and a little.
Small car of some kind.

>> Jamie B (00:41):
Little Triumph pedal car. Me, Thomas walk.

Oh, is that what that is? Yeah, yeah. But, there. There's
a few, they'll be sitting up, but they, they always have
a nice crowd here.

>> Jamie B (00:51):
Yeah.

At this show. And of course, we're at this show.
And if you cannot be here at this show, we can
bring it to you because you can go to
ccautoshow.com
and watch that show live.

>> Jamie B (01:03):
Yes.

And you will, see us sitting here now. Of course, you'll see a
lot of people cooking back there in the back garage right now, but
we have our trailer over here to the left with all
our things, inside there to make
everything transmit. And we are looking for a good time
because we love cars.

>> Jamie B (01:20):
Yes, yes, yes.

All right, now, if you can't be at this show and
you, And once you have watched this
one or listened to it. Wait
for that. But then if you. If you
can't be at this car show.
There's a car show going on in so many
places around the country. especially beautiful
weather at, least in this area right now. And

(01:44):
most of the country's got some beautiful weather right now.

>> Jamie B (01:46):
Yeah.

So, so I bet there's a car show nearby.
So after this one is done, find
one, go to it. It might be a coffee and
cars event, or it might just be a regular car show of
some kind. And all of them's good. you
got Mustang, ones you got lost in the
50s.

>> Jamie B (02:05):
Car shows, different themes for different
charities.

Exactly. Oh, and that's another good point. they
normally raise good money for
charities. M. And, I know, I know that the one
we went to not too long ago was the,
had to do with helping the veterans. And that was, That
was. They. They did great with that. We did
the touch of Truck not too long ago, and that, that helped a
lot of people. And then I think one come too

(02:31):
soon coming up in a couple of weeks will
have to do with helping, animals.

>> Jamie B (02:36):
Yeah.

So they're all good.
Okay. So let's, let's crank this thing
up and get it ready to go,
and we will. We. You know what happened?

>> Jamie B (02:47):
Huh?

last week, we did not get an answer to our tech
tip quiz.

>> Jamie B (02:51):
No, we didn't. That was. It was kind of, I don't. I didn't even know
what my best guess was. didn't make
any sense in my mind, so I didn't. I didn't come with
any answer either.

Well, we're gonna throw it back out there. And also, I want
to mention that during this show, we are taking phone calls.
We had a little echo issue last week. We don't have an echo issue
this week. We will be able to take your phone calls.
If you have a question about your car, your truck, your SUV,
you give us a call. That number.
800-224-9090.

(03:21):
And we're running a test run on this. if
it works like it should, people should be
able to go to ccauto
show.com, and there's a
little space beside it that they should be able to
post a question on there. We'll see how that works.
Experimental stage.

>> Jamie B (03:39):
Yes.

but if it works out, well, we'll read your question online,
and we will make that.
Okay. Here's the tech tip quiz. You
ready for this? Now you got. Since you don't know the
answer, Jamie, what we would do is
you will be eligible to win
this tech tip quiz prize. All right, here
we go. So try to answer it also.

>> Jamie B (04:01):
Okay.

okay, it's a true one. This is a
true tech tip quiz, but the name
and the names have not been changed
to protect innocent. Yeah, because it was
me. This really happened to
me. Absolutely. It's true.

>> Jamie B (04:18):
I think those are the best ones. Any of these.

Yeah, it is. I accidentally drained a
fluid on Raymond's Nissan
Maxima scent some years ago. Now this. It was
a while back when it happened.

>> Jamie B (04:28):
Yeah.

And it made me sick as a dog. I
mean, sick sick. what fluid did I
accidentally drain? And why did it make me sick as a
dog? If you know the answer, give me a call.
800-224-9090.
And also, if you have a question about your car, your truck, your
suv, we have the phones

(04:49):
working now. We have multiple
ways for you to, be able to call in. Of course,
one of the better ways that we like, because we get the chance to talk
to you is
800-224-9090. And we
love talking to you. So that's our favorite. But
you can post it hopefully online
and be able to ask that

(05:11):
question on there.
Okay, we will go
over to the, talk just a little
bit about cars of the 50s, because I thought it might be
fun, since we're doing a car show
here at a loss in the 50s event, to
mention a few things about cars of the 50s.
If you have an answer to our tech tip quiz, you can give us a

(05:32):
call. And that tech tip quiz again,
was. Well, first I mentioned it
was a true tech tip quiz. I accidentally drained a fluid
on Raymond's Nissan Maxima some years ago
and it made me sick, really sick. And
what fluid did I accidentally drain and why did it
make me sick? If you know the answer to that, you could be

(05:54):
a, tech tip quiz winner. And we
are talking about cars in the 50s
and mentioned before, 50s was a
beautiful time for the design of the cars. Well, yeah,
and there is no question that a lot
of these new designs come up, come
about by engineers that were,
in World War II, that were getting out of the

(06:16):
military, and they had been designing
aircraft. and there's so many
things that come along after that that
streamlined the cars a huge amount. The tail
fins, just the sloped,
hoods and the different things that went with that.
Just beautiful, beautiful cars.

>> Jamie B (06:36):
Well, it was all about st. Style and aesthetics
back then. They would, you know, nobody cared about,
you know, fuel economy and
wind resistance, aerodynamics. I mean, they just
wanted something to look cool.

Yeah.

>> Jamie B (06:49):
And, that was the thing that was their, deciding
factor. Hey, this looks cool. Let's do it.

Huh? Something else come about, during the
50s, I guess it would be more
in the late 50s is when these
designs first started coming out. And that was
a beautiful time for the automotive industry. Also. The
muscle car era.

>> Jamie B (07:09):
Yes.

Yeah, they, they, they had
powerful engines and sleek designs
and they were going after the younger drivers,
the younger generation that wanted to go fast.
And you had, some of the classic
models started back then, like the, Chevrolet
Corvette and then you
had the Ford Thunderbird and the Dodge

(07:32):
Chargers were born, during these.
And then they were
setting the Stage in the 50s for what would
be known as a beautiful time,
which was in the 60s. For muscle cars.

>> Jamie B (07:46):
Yeah, for muscle cars. And then we rolled on, you know, 15,
20 years and not so much.

There's so many Beautiful things come along for there.
Now along with that another big thing that come
along. Well
another great thing that come along at about that time had
to do with some safety features.
They along with the cars going faster, they were more
dangerous. And of course some of the things

(08:13):
that come along that features
that had to do with safety. Of course one of the main
ones was seat belts.

>> Jamie B (08:21):
Yes. Yeah. But I mean
I, I remember riding around and my grandmother had
a Mercury Comet wagon. I think it was
mid-60s. But that thing didn't have seat belts then
either.

It didn't.

>> Jamie B (08:32):
Out of the mid-60s. It didn't. Wow. I went right around
in the mid-60s in the Comet.

And if you remember back in, in the
early days cars didn't have padded dashes. They were just
metal.

>> Jamie B (08:43):
It was metal. Yeah. She. Cuz she had magnets stuck all over it too.

And then of course you have an accident. Boom. It was.

>> Jamie B (08:49):
Yeah, there goes all.

Many times. Terrible. and then of course along with
that the suspension systems just started doing
better.

>> Jamie B (08:56):
Yeah.

And better. Ah. And they built
independent suspension and some cars with
coil springs, some cars would leaf springs.
but either way they handled much better. And
that's. And that's one of the reasons that the better
suspension system come along. What's for safety?
These cars were going faster than ever before.
But then you start rounding a corner or

(09:19):
under certain circumstances they would just go out of control.

>> Jamie B (09:22):
Well, yeah, even, even with braking, your suspension
plays a huge, a huge deal into
braking. M. So it's, you
know, besides ride comfort. Yeah. The safety aspect.
I mean we've come a long way in 100 years.

Oh. So so far it
is kind of amazing.
I had I had something here, as far as on
the as far as on those vehicles we were
talking. Well it had to do with the power
steering system and of course one
of the first cars to have the power steering filter. It was,
it was invented as early as

(09:56):
1876.

>> Jamie B (09:58):
Really?

I didn't know that. Yeah, many, many years ago. But it wasn't
until 1951 that they actually
made it, not standard equipment but an option on
a vehicle. And that was on the Chrysler Imperial
and that was in 1951. But think about where we're
at now. We actually have
electronic steering, electric steering.

(10:19):
And it's because of the electric steering that
we're able to have the lane assist. You start to go
off the road and it'll kind of gradually pull
you back on the road. So all of
these Options, it's good to know the history of
vehicles on how a lot of these systems started,
what they were doing. And of course, lane

(10:39):
assist. Lane assist and all the other
ATAs, systems that you
have, that all
makes a huge difference. Oh, and I'll
mention this also. We will be having
a an event that'll be
coming up, that'll be this coming week.

>> Jamie B (10:59):
Yeah.

And that will be at Blue Automotive.
And it will be a, It will be an event where we
will talk a large
amount having to do with the ADA system.

>> Jamie B (11:10):
Yeah.

Assisted driving systems.

>> Jamie B (11:13):
Yeah.

For the vehicle.

>> Jamie B (11:14):
And anytime anything new comes out, and this
system is tremendously helpful. Anytime anything
new comes out, the more you can learn and educate yourself
about that system, the better off you'll be. That way
if something does happen and you take your car in for repair, you're
not, you know, thinking somebody's taking advantage of you.

People's going to be in for some big surprises on some of the things
that need to be done, on these vehicles as
you're as in case of
an accident, the things that need to be done and the things that
should be done. And that's
That's all different things that we'll
be talking about and we'll be showing a

(11:53):
little bit of an internal view of what goes on in the
automotive industry. This will be kind of rare for the CNC
Auto show because usually we talk about things for the
consumer as far as what the consumers
see. But we gonna go inside the automotive
industry just a little bit. We will be talking with people that
have to do with the That
makes the equipment available to do some of

(12:16):
the things that we do. We'll even be talking about some of
the the things that need to be worked
out in the automotive industry as far as
the things, of how
the systems are calibrated and just a
lot of things. So next week's gonna be a really interesting show
also. And it's going Again, it's gonna be. It's
gonna pertain a heck of a lot to the ADA system.

>> Jamie B (12:38):
Yeah, no, it's. The more, you know,
the better, the easier life is. So I'm
looking forward to this show because m. With it being
so new, I'm, I'm not as, ah,
you know, educated on it as These technicians are
either.

Uh-huh. Well, it encompasses so much.
There's, There's a lot of. I mean you have anything from
your your lane departure system
in all, and you have your
blind spot indicators, your
laser, crews or smart crews or blue cruise
or whatever there's different names for. But what it
amounts to is it makes it to where you

(13:15):
can you can just cruise without having. And it'll
watch the cars in front of you and you know, it takes a
lot of the work out of the driving.

>> Jamie B (13:23):
Yeah, yeah.

And it's there's, there's just a
lot of things that's encompassed in that system.
But in effect it uses cameras and lidar,
radar, sonar,
uses all of these things to be able to
know exactly what the vehicle was doing.

>> Jamie B (13:42):
Well, if you look at the progression from the 51
Imperial and its, you know, power steering that they
used then to the electronic steering that we have now,
with the way ATIS is coming up and coming right now, imagine
where we'll be in 10 years. We won't have to
physically drive anymore.

Yeah, exactly.
Now take a, take a guess on the
electric window. When, when, when do
you think it was designed?

>> Jamie B (14:06):
The power window motor?

Yeah, the electric window.

>> Jamie B (14:11):
I don't know. I, I don't know. Pro.
Well, shoot. I had early
90s cars that still had manual crank windows.

It was, it was a Chrysler also.

>> Jamie B (14:22):
Was it?

And you gotta, you, you gotta think,
that a lot of these options that we see on
vehicles now, you may see them on a
regular basis, but they started with a
very low production level.

>> Jamie B (14:35):
Yeah.

Usually, on the higher end cars.
It was a 1951 Chrysler Duck.

>> Jamie B (14:42):
Oh, Chrysler just was knocking them out of the park in
their 50s, weren't they?

Yep. And that was in 1951. And
it led to a lot of other systems.
it wasn't a, ah, long period of time before they started using
them on GM Ford
Chevrolets. Most, of that happened
in about 1954.

>> Jamie B (15:04):
Ah, well, you know what? It's really nice to have power
windows.

Oh, it's hard to go without power windows down.

>> Jamie B (15:09):
I don't miss having to reach all the way across the car and crank the
passenger window down.

No. I've had one car in the last 10 years that had
manual windows. And I said, I'll never. I got a
really good deal on it. It was a F150 truck and I
said, wow, this is a great deal I could put up
with with, with manual windows. But no,
I, you got spoiled. I will, I will never
do that again. You know, didn't like that at all.

>> Jamie B (15:32):
It's funny how that, that hand motion of rolling the
window down, you know, Hung on for roll your
window down. Nobody pulls up next to you and, and, you
know, pushes a button in the air to get you to roll your
window down. It's the. It's the crank handle thing.

Oh, Jamie said we have a phone call. So,
Jamie, let's bring the collar on.

>> Jamie B (15:52):
Yes, There we go.

And welcome to the CNC auto show. And what can
we help you with today?

>> Ron (16:02):
All right, listen, guys, this is Ron and Apple, and I was
just wanting to express, my disgust
with the modern technology going into
automobile.

Okay, we'll do that.

>> Ron (16:16):
you know, in the 50s and that
era and even prior to that,
there were so few car companies. Everyone was
unique in what they produced.
Now, I have a hard time distinguishing
one model from the next, as they're going down
the road, whether it be a, Mercedes or
Kia, they all look the same

(16:39):
continent. The fact that
I think the manufacturers have replenished.
Instead of spending big money on
designers, they allowed the
surface carnival manufacturing companies to
take over that task. they don't.
They ride down the road looking like a carnival

(16:59):
ride. I
talked the other night with the lights again.
there was three sets of headlights on
this truck. One
about five foot off the ground and
another one midway down at the
bottom. The reasoning is
beyond me why they have to look like carnival

(17:22):
rides, to be functional.
Another issue is, that
these things are, accomplices in crime.
Already there was a lady,
I think it was in Arizona, that was driving,
and, two criminals were working the area.
One steps out in front of her. The,

(17:43):
automatic braking, Lloyd system stops,
the car. The other criminal runs
behind the car and snatches her out and steals
the car.
you know, I think you carry it too
far as a point that you do that
you carried all this electronic wonderland

(18:04):
so far that they beyond the
function of the car, that it was designed to
do, these, And then on top of that, you have
the privilege of paying,
40, 50, 60, for trucks.

That's a deal if you get a new one for that.

>> Jamie B (18:20):
Yeah.

Yes. you are absolutely right.
As far as a lot of things going on
there. There is a huge amount of
technology. There's always a fine line
on. Well, really, you'd have to
say you really can't put a price
on safety.

>> Jamie B (18:40):
No.

And that's what so much a, large amount of it
is there for is the safety. Like you mentioned, automatic
braking. But there's always things that can happen
that can make that, make that
automatic breaking something
that can be used in a bad way just like almost
anything else. Ron, I'm going to mention something.

(19:01):
Here's something that a lot of people are
doing, that they found out that a lot of criminals are
doing now. Okay. Someone
goes out and let's say it's a busy shopping
center, and someone gets out of their car,
and they hit the lock button on the
car, and then they walk in the store.
Well, people have, they make a

(19:22):
jammer to where you can jam that
signal to where that. When that person hit that
button and they thought they were locking their car, their car
didn't really lock.

>> Jamie B (19:32):
Yeah.

And so then they can go over to an unlocked car, get
whatever they want out, and boom, be able to go.
So, of course, that's one of the things I wanted to mention
today was people should make sure when
they're getting out of the car that they actually see the locks
lock when they get out or see the lights flash
or something to let you know that you got the

(19:53):
signal. And that's, that's a good, tip there about
the part on automatic braking. I mean, but
I'm not sure what you would do about that one, Rob.

>> Jamie B (20:01):
Yeah, just keep your doors locked.

Yeah. Either. Either way, if somebody's in front of you, you probably
gonna try your best to put on brakes
anyway, especially if it's a pedestrian, even if it wasn't automatic.
You. You try to find a way to do that.

>> Ron (20:15):
Well, here's, here's the problem and here's the
evil in what you're thinking about.
Safety at all costs.

Uh-huh.

>> Ron (20:22):
When you go down that rabbit hole.
Safety at all costs. You
also dominize the
American public in driving
more reliable on this new
technology. it's just like these morons that are.
That are going 80, 70 miles an hour down the interst.

(20:43):
Asleep at the wheel because they're autopilot.
You create a
dumbification of American drivers
by adding all this subterfuge on
top of all this. And that's why I say
safety. I'm all for safety. Safety
is a great, wonderful thing. But

(21:03):
these manufacturers have carried it so
far that is beyond the pale and
ridiculous. That's just my disgust.
And it helped. It helped me vent this
morning.

So that's exactly why we.

>> Ron (21:18):
What y'all do?

We. That's exactly why we are so glad
you called because we wanted you to feel better this
morning. That's. That's what we're here for, to help.

>> Ron (21:28):
Yeah.

Now, you could just rest your Heart rate can go
down and you'll feel much better.

>> Ron (21:34):
That's it. You
can give me a 68
fastback Mustang any day. If
you can't get aroused by that, you don't have
a. You look at a
50. You look at a 55,
Thunderbird or a Corvette. If
you can't get aroused just by the, you know, the

(21:57):
sheer look of it and the feel of it,
then you just, you, you're not alive, you're
dead.

I want one of those.

>> Ron (22:04):
But guys, I enjoy you.

I love that technology though. I love
both.

>> Ron (22:11):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Alrighty, guys.

Y'all, thank
you. And
I, and I do hope you feeling better now.

>> Jamie B (22:22):
Yeah.

All right. The Number to call,
800-224-9090. You can call
and ask a question or if you just want to vent just a little
bit, give, us a call. And there, there's
so many things that I could vent about that, that
would make me feel so much better. Don't
park the little bitty cars in the front of the parking lot and
make me think I got a spot there. Almost 50

(22:44):
years. And when you're ready, they're ready to help you have a little
green box moment. My friends at Windsor have helped me. We will be
back with more at the CNC auto show engagement
anniversary. We have some beautiful cars starting to come.
We have some like 58,
57, 58
Chevrolets. we have some
Impalas, out there. We have some MG

(23:06):
Midgets out there. Just a lot of, lot
of really nice cars that are here at the back
to the 50s car show. But also, if you're listening to
this, no matter what part of the country you're in,
there's probably a car show near you. So
give, just look, do a search, find a
car show that might be right for you
and go join it and have fun. It's good

(23:29):
family entertainment.

>> Jamie B (23:30):
Oh yeah, well, that's, my son sitting beside me.
That's get him out the house and do something together.

Yeah, I think that. And you see so many and plus
you get to talk about the history of the cars.
Okay, we ready, for a
email that we received. I received this
from James Aaron. I live
in Columbia, South Carolina and plan to
drive to Montana in early
December for a hunting trip. I

(23:57):
and three of my high school buddies will be
going in my 2020 Ford F350
truck, which has a 6.7 powerstroke
V8 turbo diesel. Do I need to do
anything special And Jamie, that's almost in your
line. I'm going to add one. I'm going to go ahead and
mention one thing and my my part is to

(24:18):
get a good inspection, of course. No doubt about that. A good
winter inspection. Close attention. Batteries,
fluids, tires, glow plugs. but one thing
I want to. Oh, it's good to think about a block
heater. Well, get a block heater. I'd go and
invest in one. Would you, would you say that's a good move?

>> Jamie B (24:35):
Yes. Montana with a cold.

Very cold. Yeah, very cold. And another
item that you have to pay special attention to when
you working with a diesel
is ah, when the temperature drops to a certain
level, you want to do something with the
fuel because when it gets really cold it will turn
to jail. And I recommend Hotshot Secret
EDT plus Winter

(24:58):
Defense Diesel fuel additive. And
you pretty much, you pour it in the diesel
fuel and it keeps it from turning to gel
on those really cold temperatures.

>> Jamie B (25:08):
Yeah, yeah. Just make sure you read the, read the instructions on the
bottle, you know, of course. And follow, follow. It works better
when you use it like it's supposed to be used.

Yeah. I've got one of these for the coming
year just in case I do need it.
it don't get that necessarily that cold here
but if I do drive somewhere really cold, I've
already got my bottle there and it's got a little thing
to where you pour. it's the bottle is made
in a way to where you can turn it upside down and it'll fill up a

(25:38):
little part of the container and then that's the
amount that you would put in with a fill up.

>> Jamie B (25:43):
Oh well that's, that's always convenient.

Pretty much does everything for you. but that is a
big thing to remember.
any other tips? We got batteries.
Winter inspection.

>> Jamie B (25:54):
Well, as always when you're going on a trip in cold
weather, you know, things happen. Make sure you
have extra food, snacks and drinks,
water or something, blankets and things in your
vehicle just in case some kind of accident happens. You
get stuck somewhere and you can't get out and you have to.

That's a good tip for everybody.

>> Jamie B (26:13):
Yeah, yeah.

With wintertime coming up, go ahead and build yourself a
little kit. put a few things in there, maybe a bottle of
water, add some like you mentioned,
a few little snacks. another good
winter tip that people should think about is to keep
plenty of fuel in their car because of course
it's nighttime. here's a

(26:34):
scenario that can happen. You're looking for
somebody's house, you back forward, you
back up. And because it's dark, your
tire gets stuck in a ditch, it's ice
cold. And your gas gauge on E so you
have to cut your car off because you don't want to use up all the
fuel. So it's a good idea to keep plenty of fuel
in your car. That way if you do run into an

(26:56):
emergency, you can have, plenty of
gas to continue to run your heat until
help arrives.

>> Jamie B (27:03):
Yeah, yeah.

And an extra cell phone charger inside your
car is not a bad idea.

>> Jamie B (27:08):
You know, those sound like good hurricane tips too. Yeah,
we found that out the hard way, didn't we?

Yeah, we did. So so go ahead
and think about what if. What if and
just pack your car full of a few little things in there
that you can make sure that you're
prepared in case something comes up. Ah, another
thing that I like, that I think is
kind of huge. The little jumper
boxes that many years ago the jumper boxes used to be

(27:35):
real big and heavy.

>> Jamie B (27:36):
They're cumbersome things. Yeah.

And now we still have those at work. If
a battery goes dead on a larger vehicle,
a lot of times we have them. But it is
amazing, how much energy those little
bitty ones.

>> Jamie B (27:50):
Yeah.

Can have stored up.

>> Jamie B (27:51):
The Noco branded ones, I mean these things are smaller than a
brick. And I mean for what they do, they're
relatively light as well.
yeah. And those you a lot of them, you can get them with a
ah, flashlight on them too. And you can charge your phone
back off of them as well as jump off your vehicle.

Yeah. And they stay charged for a pretty long length of time.
You can plug one in. So if you're planning on making a
trip somewhere, it's not a bad idea to have one of
those and just keep it charged up. And then that way if for some
reason you do get up, let's say you're in the mountains
and you need to you walk out early one
morning and start to go somewhere

(28:28):
and boom, your battery's dead. You can go into your trunk, get one of those
little jumper boxes. Very small item,
don't take up much space. You can hook it up to your battery
or to your post that you would jump it
with and boom, you're ready to roll.

>> Jamie B (28:42):
Yeah. Yeah. No, don't, don't ever leave
yourself in a, in a bad position. If you can help.

M always try to be prepared that's,
that's the number one thing. And
you know, being prepared, one of the things that
you want to, you want to do when you come out here, be prepared
to eat because they got, they, they starting to smell. They
have, they started cooking early out here and oh,
we got more cars pulling in.

>> Jamie B (29:07):
Another parking lot filled up behind me.

Another 58 Chevrolet has pulled in.
Yeah, it's starting to fill up back there behind us. So more
and more cars, I look forward to
once, once the radio show parts over, or
sometimes during the break, I'll run out there and look at some of the
cars and see, what's going on with some of them.

>> Jamie B (29:26):
Yeah, no, this, this is going to be a great show. Just
judging by what's here already, it's going to be a big
event.

Oh yeah, it's going to be a great show.
another thing that we'll probably do a show on
this part, but I think it's getting the
time of year because of some holidays coming up
and different things going on. we want
to start thinking a lot about
keeping a car secure. Of course, we want to do that

(29:53):
anytime. Probably mentioning it more
because you're starting to have more darkness,
than you have before. And of course with darkness comes.
There's sometimes that can, leave
opportunities for crime, mischief.
So you just want to be real careful. if
you're going, let's say you're out shopping or
doing something, and it's dark outside,

(30:16):
hit look around your surroundings. of course,
always try to park in a lighted area, but look around your
surroundings. Make sure everything looks, looks pretty
safe. when you walk out there, when you hit your button, kind
of look inside your car before you get inside, just
to make sure everything's good there. And,
keep all of your valuables, keep anything

(30:36):
that's valuable in your car out of sight in
there. either keep it in the trunk, keep something
in the hatchback, keep it covered up
if you have it there. So all of those things can
make a, a big difference.
All right, now we talked about some of the things that were on
the cars back in the 50s,

(30:57):
and we talked a little bit about the
60s, what some of the technology
that's going on, some of the later model cars now.
And of course one of the things has to do
with, facial recognition and
voice recognition,
some of the things. And this is all coming. And as

(31:18):
a matter of fact, it's on some vehicles now, but just not in
a Large production. but, let's say you walk up
to your vehicle. The vehicle recognizes
you. It knows it's you. Either by voice, you
can say, open the door, and the
door will open, or it
knows it you. But either way, when you get in, if it

(31:39):
knows that you're one of the normal, usable,
usual, drivers, it may open
that door automatically and then adjust the seat
just for you. It'll set the interior temperature
just for you and then give you the morning
news or whatever you want to listen to.

>> Jamie B (31:56):
Well, that's, That's neat and creepy at the same time.

Oh, and also it will be able to
order your coffee and pay for it.

>> Jamie B (32:05):
Oh, my gosh.

And all you do is go by and pick it up.

>> Jamie B (32:08):
You know, I was reading this article the other day, and it was,
I. I want to say it was Ford, I might be wrong.
Was, putting advertisements on your
infotainment screen. And they patented
this, where it would, Based on
where you were and your usual driving habits and what
you. What you went past every day, it was going to
recommend, you know, this ham hamburger place

(32:31):
or this coffee shop or it just, There's.
There needs to be some kind of line, with the
privacy in vehicles.

Oh, wow, look at that. We're about out of time on this first
hour. We'll be shutting this hour down,
but don't move because we'll have another hour to come.
All right. Thomas is going to put a headset on, because
he, he
went walking around just a little bit.
Hey, Thomas, what did you think about the, cars that you

(32:58):
looked at over there?

>> Jamie B (33:00):
Pretty neat.

Okay.

>> Jamie B (33:02):
What was your favorite one over there so far?
I, do not know.

Yeah. Well, here's one good thing.
You, could bring, You can bring kids. You can
bring kids over it to see these. Now, of course,
Thomas, not a kid anymore. He's, a. He's
a young man now.

>> Jamie B (33:21):
Yeah.

And, and you. But it's great for
people like Thomas to be able to see
these other cars and see a little bit of the
past automotive history. And it kind of gives you some
ideas of where cars come from, how we've progressed and
what we've done. And, not to mention
when you really start thinking about all the different systems

(33:42):
that these cars have. You, didn't wake up one morning
and all of a sudden have, this smart cruise system
on your car or your, lane change
departures that they started
somewhere. And of course, they started with things like, hey, we
Having a lot of accidents and people's getting hurt really
bad. Let's come out with a padded dash. Let's come out
with a seatbelt. then, hey, people would

(34:04):
really enjoy it if this thing had cruise control. So you
get cruise control.

>> Jamie B (34:10):
We were standing over there and this guy comes by in an old
Lincoln Continental. And the guy
directing traffic at the car show, he's steer. Yeah,
hey, back. He did over here. This guy's over here just
putting all his weight in the steering wheel, trying to turn,
turn the thing to back up. And that's, you know, that's why
we have our steering now. Yeah, he made it. Good
job. Good job. But boy, he was

(34:32):
fighting that thing to get the wheels to turn and see.

If Thomas didn't see things like that, he would never know. Hey,
cars at one time didn't have power steering or cars at
one time didn't have this electric window that you
actually rolled out. So all things are good to
see. And you can go to,
facebook.com forward/cc
auto show. You can see it live. you can

(34:54):
also go to ccautoshow.com and there's a
little box up there. You can listen to the show
live up there@ccautoshow.com
and ask a question right there if you decide to
it. So, we're working on this
ccautoshow.com as a matter of fact, Gary
from Kingdom Web Pros is over
there, making some adjustments right now

(35:16):
because we're starting to fine tune it just a little bit. we
plan on that website being the go to place
for car information.
And of course, one of the things if you looking for a
car show, we'll have a place where you can see where a car
show, might be near you. And if you're looking
for information, about your car,
it will be there. So it's in the early stages, but he

(35:39):
is working on it and making things happen. So we
look forward to that.
Okay, let's talk about cars.

>> Jamie B (35:45):
you know, the cars without, the powered
windows.

Uh-huh.

>> Jamie B (35:49):
You can take a, you could take the handles off that you roll them up
with and use a drill.

Oh, just hook a drill up to. Well, you know,
it's amazing how many,
inventions come out from things like that. I mean,
there's always a chance that somebody might have said that. They said,
oh, I don't want to have to move that. So I'm going to
use a drill to do it. Or, just
different reasons. Now I Doubt that's the case on that.

(36:15):
But you are right. I mean,
ideas just come to people, and
they use it so well.

>> Jamie B (36:23):
They say the lazy people are the best inventors because they'll
figure out the workarounds for things.

Yeah. Oh, we didn't lay a, We didn't lay the tech tip
quiz back out.

>> Jamie B (36:32):
Oh, yeah.

So we do need to do that. I'm going to put that back out on the
table. this true story. The names have not
been changed because it's me. Absolutely true. I
accidentally drained the fluid on Raymond's Nissan Maxima
some years ago. It made me very, very
sick. What fluid did I accidentally drain, and
why did it make me sick? If somebody knows the answer to that,

(36:52):
they can give us a call again. That's
800-224-9090.
All right, now, some of the things that
happened during the 50s,
people began to travel.
you good?
people began to travel, and

(37:14):
the cars become just a symbol of that
freedom and independence that they
had. They were able to actually
live much further from their work.

>> Jamie B (37:25):
Yeah.

and be able to travel back and forth. They were
able to move out to the suburbs more and
do different things. so,
the cars gave people a lot of
freedom. And of course, another thing that it
did many years back, and I'm not sure if
you've been to one, Jamie. I, just about bet
Thomas probably has not been the one. but that's

(37:48):
a drive in theater.

>> Jamie B (37:50):
Yeah. No, we have used Thomas.
Have you gone to the, the drive in theater or. No,
Maybe, maybe not. I don't remember if I've. If
I've taken him to one or not. But they're really.

There's not that many left.

>> Jamie B (38:03):
No. Ah.

Ah. But also driving diners.

>> Jamie B (38:06):
I've been to a drive in theater. I went into one with my
grandma and my grandpa in the mountains. Yeah.
Yeah.

So they're, that vehicles in
the 50s. They brought all this. They brought it to where you could go
to a drive in and, just pull your car in
and watch a movie on a great big screen as you were sitting in
your car. And I'm explaining that here,
but there's a lot of people that have no idea what I'm talking about
when I say a drive in theater. so all of these

(38:33):
things were, brought about, by the cars, and a lot of
them were brought about by cars in the. In
the 50s and the 60s and
made things like that very popular. Popular.
But, the big thing is it did bring
along the freedom. And that's the, that's the
big thing.
All right. So one of the

(38:55):
one of the things that's changed a lot and continues
to change on vehicles since the
50s is the battery itself.

>> Jamie B (39:03):
Oh yeah. Battery technology is, well, it's
like everything else has grown by leaps and bounds.

Yeah. And there was a time car, batteries were six
volts.

>> Jamie B (39:12):
Yeah.

And then they grew to 12 volts. Now one of the
big things that had that batteries are,
have continued to improve
and that is now the AGM
battery.

>> Jamie B (39:23):
Yeah. The AGM is absorbed glass mat is
what that means.

Yes. And they last
longer. they, they hold their
charge longer, their vibration, they're idle.

>> Jamie B (39:35):
Yeah.

So that's one of the reasons that so many times
if we have a customer that has like a high
end car.

>> Jamie B (39:42):
Yes.

With a lot of accessories on it, those
vehicles, in order to keep the memory alive on all of those
items, they pull a little bit
off of the battery.

>> Jamie B (39:53):
Yeah.

And a, ah, regular standard battery
will go dead in a short period of time
with those. And by short period of time I'm talking about if it
had, if it's not driven very
much for say a week or a week and a half,
two weeks. Many times that battery can
just go completely dead and then go bad

(40:14):
because when a battery is dead it
sulfates and it don't take very long for it to go
bad. So with the AGM batteries they
hold that, that charge much, much longer.
And so if we have a customer with a with a high end
car, I normally recommend to them, hey,
let's go ahead and put an AGM battery in there. Now

(40:34):
many cars are just coming standard with AGM
batteries now.

>> Jamie B (40:38):
Yeah, you will. I mean they don't, they don't leak.
They're maintenance free. I mean they're, they're
just a superior battery
technology versus the lead acid, the wet,
wet cell batteries that we're used to.

And there's a great website that people could
go to if they want to learn more about batteries. They
can go to auto batteries.com
and that's by Clarios. That website is powered by
Clarios which makes a huge, huge number
of the agm. I would say a large
percentage of the AGM batteries in the
world.

>> Jamie B (41:12):
Oh yeah. But huge into
battery technology.

Yeah.
So, that's autobatteries.com A17
Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. It's making a
noise similar to an airplane flying low over my
head. I have a
tendency to duck. It seems
especially loud When I'm
coasting at a higher speed downhill.

(41:38):
any ideas on where this could be coming from?
Now, my thought process is that could be a
wheel bearing.

>> Jamie B (41:44):
Yeah. Either that or, I mean, if you just
had, tires put on recently and you're just not used to the
sound of the new tires, that could.

Be that as well.

>> Jamie B (41:52):
Yeah.

Or cupping tires.

>> Jamie B (41:54):
Yeah.

But one way that I could tell that I normally check
to see if it is a wheel bearing is if
you're riding and you're hearing out
that, airplane noise, like the airplanes getting ready to
land on your car, and you move
the wheel just a little to the left or a little
to the right, and the noise either gets louder or goes
away, or at least changes tones

(42:17):
as you move this wheel back and forth, that pretty
much lets you know that you do have a wheel bearing.
Now, I've been doing this a long, long time,
and I have never been able
to completely tell
which side it's coming from. Because you, you will
listen to that noise and you will swear it's coming from the left

(42:38):
side, but then you'll get underneath the car and run the
test with the stethoscopes and the sound listening
devices and find out it's coming from the other
side.

>> Jamie B (42:47):
Yeah.

So don't let that tell you which side it's coming
from, but it will let you know that it is a wheel
bearing. So, what was her name?
Trisha.

>> Jamie B (42:57):
Yeah, Tricia in Edgefield.

Yeah. she's, most likely
got a wheelbarrow, and I'd recommend going by a shop that she works
with, a shop that she trusts, and just say, hey,
would you mind riding around the block with me listening to this
noise? and if they agree to this wheel bearing,
they'll probably give, you whatever charges it
might be to diagnose the problem, and then they'll put it on the
rack, and then they'll use a listening device to

(43:22):
determine which side it is, confirm it's a
bearing, and then, boom, there. you'll be back.
They'll get you an estimate together and get you squared away.
You'll be back on the road.

>> Jamie B (43:31):
Yep.

So, great question. And if
anyone has a question, you can go to
ccautoshow.com, press a little,
chat button, and we will chat with you
just a little bit, find out what your question is. And we
will answer that question on air.
And we are still talking about,
well, there's something else that I want to talk about because I'm in

(43:55):
a safety mood. Today, on trying
to make things real safe.
Another thing that
people have run into, of course we
talked a little earlier about, they have blocking devices
for your key, fob now to where you
think you're locking your car and you walk off

(44:16):
and come to find out the car is not locked. Well,
another thing that
has been done is
they can send a signal to your
vehicle telling, making you think
that your tire pressure is low. It'll make your TPMS
light come on on the dash and

(44:37):
blink and you'll think you got low tire
pressure. And they will do that in order to
get a person to pull over.

>> Jamie B (44:44):
I hadn't heard that one. Yes.

Ah, that's it's, it, it's. And then
when they stop you, you stop to get out to
look to see what's wrong with your tire
and then they either rob you or hijack
your car.

>> Jamie B (44:58):
Oh. But obviously if your
TPMS light comes on you obviously you want to
check it, not ride around on a half flat tire if that is
the case. But just be aware.

Yeah. Well the thing is if that
comes on, if any way possible
pull over into a well lit area.

>> Jamie B (45:18):
Yeah.

Find, find somewhere that's safe. A
shopping center or something with a lot of lights
around. Don't just pull over to the side of the road, just
anywhere, maybe a service and that's
preferable if you can find a
station that or a shop that you
can pull into. So that, that way if you do
have low air, you can either have the tire repaired or have

(45:41):
the air pressure replaced in there.
So that is a good thing to do.
All right, so we give it all these
things. Are you ready for another email?

>> Jamie B (45:52):
Yeah, let's go.

All right, here we go. And this question is from Justin.
Justin has a 2017 Equinox
that check engine light came on. I have my own
code reader. It shows a code
0128. It runs
okay, but my fuel mileage is down.
And let's see here. 0228 is

(46:13):
a coolant temp sensor.

>> Jamie B (46:16):
Yeah. 128 temp sensor.

we're going to see a lot of this in the coming months,
Jamie, because every year we get a lot of this type
question, and that's that the vehicle is running
cooler than it should run and
high probability it's either going to be low coolant or bad
thermostat. So I would
recommend checking the coolant level if that's good.

(46:39):
If temperature don't get up, what it should Be replace
thermostat, of course. You know, I love the motor red,
thermostat, and I love peak coolant. So
that's the route.
Okay, we got another, we have.

>> Jamie B (46:50):
A phone call and we're almost out of
time.

Oh, okay. Well, we could go to a. We'll pull over for a second and
then when we come back on, we'll go straight to the call.

>> Jamie B (46:58):
Okay. All right. Hey, good morning.

You know, you know, a lot of the 50s cars took on that
space age look kind of thing. But with all the
technology that we have today, why can't they
put something on a car that will turn your radio off
and make your lights flash when an ambulance or a fire truck or
something is coming up behind you so you can get out of the way?

>> Jamie B (47:20):
You know, that makes a lot of sense because if you got all your windows
rolled up in your radio on, it's hard to hear them
sometimes or, or you know, even tell which direction they're coming
from.

Yep. I'm surprised somebody hadn't invented that yet.
Well, you know, that brings a, that brings one thing up that
I was going to mention today also. and it's
one of the large things that's coming out with
vehicles now is V2X. And they're.
At first they were talking
about V2V, which a vehicle

(47:51):
talking to another vehicle.
say that you're coming up to a red light and
the, and there's another car that's not
stopping, that, or you come to a green
light and you're starting to go through and another car is not stopping, it
will stop your car. If
that car starts to go through that light or stop the one that
was getting ready to run it. and I guess what I'm

(48:13):
saying is the two cars will be talking to each
other, but another big thing
coming is V2X, which is vehicle
to everything. it is
communication that allow vehicles to interact with other
cars and infrastructure
and pedestrians. Of course, if it sees a
pedestrian, it will stop if it's in the

(48:36):
way. And if it's, let's say you're going down
the road, and your car
thinks you're hungry, it might say, hey, we have
hamburgers right ahead. There's a fast food
place. would you like this?

>> Jamie B (48:50):
Well, that's all I need.

So. And billboards, your vehicle will
be right down the road. And you know, we have the
electronic billboards. It might know that
you, it heard you talking the other day about
buying a generator for your house.
That billboard might flash a generator
sign up on the electronic
billboard, so that's.

>> Jamie B (49:11):
A step too far. I'm on board with the fire truck
and the ambulance thing, but read me billboards, I
can do without all that crap.

Aaron, I'm changing something the other day,
but I ain't gonna try to answer it. Uh-huh. Oh, come on. Give us one shot
on it. give it a try. You want me to read it for you?

>> Jamie B (49:28):
Nobody else has tried it.

Yeah, go ahead and give it a try. let me read it real quick.
okay. It's. It's mine. it happened to me.
I accidentally drained a fluid on Raymond's Nissan
Maxima some years ago. It made me
very sick. I mean, very sick. What
fluid did I accidentally drain and why did it make me
sick? I'm gonna say the

(49:50):
radiating fluid. Because of the propylene glycol in
it. no, that wasn't it. But what's something
else that, sometimes some people
have a fluid that
sits in a cup holder.

>> Jamie B (50:06):
Oh, it was your washer.

It was what now? The windshield was.
No, no. What you washer fluid is. Some
people have. It's not smoking that
they do, but they do some other things in a cup
holder. What now
they're vaping. you know,
I think that Jamie. Now, I told Jamie that she.

(50:31):
That she can answer this one and she will
win if she gets it. And I think she.
I think she knows it.

>> Jamie B (50:39):
Okay, so my original guess would
have been an actual car related fluid, and it
would have been, probably burnt gear oil, because the smell
of that always hurts my stomach. But now you're talking about cup
holders. And he's spitting his tobacco juice
into a cup or bottle or something. And you accidentally
knocked it over.

>> Ron (50:57):
Oh, he was spitting the packages in it.

Hold on. Let's see what the judges say on that
one.

>> Jamie B (51:04):
Thank you, Raymond.

Oh, Jamie is the winner of the tech camp
quiz. Congratulations, Jamie.
And, I don't know how many years
ago this was. It was many years ago,
and I hope Raymond's not listening.
but it was something that I can't
ever get out of my mind. It is etched in my

(51:26):
mind. It's like a tattoo on my mind.
And it won't go anywhere. I was asked to test drive
Raymond's Nissan Maxima. And a lot of
times I have a little cup of coffee. It was kind of a cool day. I
remember that. And, I thought it was my
coffee cup down there.
And so I reach down and I Take a big
swig of the same. And it

(51:49):
was still. And I didn't know that
Raymond was a tobacco chewer. And it was
his cup.

>> Ron (51:56):
Oh, my gosh.

And I stopped. I put it in park. I jumped
out. I was spitting everywhere.
And then finally I started throwing up.
I mean, it was bad. It was real
bad. And, that was so many years ago.
But, you know, to this day,
I cannot drink coffee from a styrofoam

(52:18):
cup. I'll never do that
again.

>> Jamie B (52:22):
Scarred for life.

It was so. Oh, look who we got. Come
here, buddy. Come here. Look
at the camera. Let's see what we got here.
All right, fantastic.

>> Jamie B (52:35):
I just had a wild dinosaur roll, up behind
us.

Look at that. Oh,
now that's amazing. We got the dinosaur going
out there. Hey, listen, we appreciate it.
And Jamie snatched the
bone right away from you. She
stacked. You had that tech
tip quiz working on it. And she just, boom,
snatched it right away.

>> Jamie B (52:59):
That's probably one of the
groceries.

Hey, thank you very much. We appreciate the call.
And, Jamie, it looks like you'll be getting a
multicolored, water bottle.

>> Jamie B (53:10):
All right.

That's gonna change colors at certain
times. Bye, guys. Bye.
Bye. All right. Okay, the number to
call is 800-224-9090.
If you got a question about your car, you can also go to
ccautoshow.com and there's a little box down there. You can
click Ask, your question that way,
and we will. We will be there, ready to get it.

(53:33):
I'm going to mention something that I think is very important, that a lot of
people really don't think about that much.
And that's their fluid levels.

>> Jamie B (53:40):
Yeah.

They think that if it's just in the zone,
somewhere between the minimum and the
maximum, that everything's fine.
But some of these fluids, for instance. Transmission
fluid. Transmission fluid is there for a couple of
reasons. It lubricates the transmission, but it also
is something that transfers heat.

>> Jamie B (54:01):
Yeah.

And if the transmission fluid is on the low mark
and, or it's in the
safe zone, but it's at the lower part of the safe zone,
that means it's got less fluid there to absorb
heat.

>> Jamie B (54:15):
Yes.

So you're not going to do as well,
lubricate or keeping the transmission
cool if you. If you don't
bring it up to where it's supposed to be. But be
careful not to overfill it.

>> Jamie B (54:28):
Yeah. Because then you got a whole new set of
problems.

Exactly. And the same thing would cool it if
it's Low, you're safe. But
go ahead and top it on off to where it's supposed. It's more at
the maximum part.

>> Jamie B (54:41):
Yeah.

And again, not overfilled. It won't cause
damage if it's overfilled. brake fluid,
not over, not under. If it's at the low, it can cause
your light to come on, if it gets even at
the minimum. So make sure on your brake
fluid that it's in the zone. But be
careful not to go past that max mark

(55:03):
on, brake fluid, because when brake fluid gets
hot, it expands. When it expands,
if it don't have a place to go in the reservoir,
then it'll apply brake pressure. It'll
push the pistons out a little bit and make
the brakes get hot and locked down. We talked a little bit
about some of the things that the vehicles,

(55:23):
will be doing. some are doing it
now, but it'll be more widespread in the future
to, where they'll be talking to different things. Your
vehicle will be talking to even digital
signs. it'll be letting you know where
places to eat might be ahead.
if you were talking in your car at one time

(55:43):
about purchasing something, it
will, let you know that that's ahead.
So a lot of these things are coming. But another
thing that, that it will. Your car will be offering
you. Now, of course, it's, if you purchase a car with
everything on it, it will cost,
X amount of dollars. But

(56:05):
they may look at that. They may have this
thing set up in the future.
or they do have it set up in the future. It just hadn't been
accepted that well so far. To
where? Let's say that it's cold outside.

>> Jamie B (56:19):
Yeah.

It may have a little message that will come up or
someone tell you that I can turn
on heated seats for only
999amonth.
What do you think about that? Your car trying to sell
you things.

>> Jamie B (56:34):
upsell on something that you already bought. I mean,
I think if you buy a car and it
has these features in it that you should
automatically have access to those features because you
bought the car. I'm not on board with this heated
seat subscription and subscription for this,
that or the other. I mean, it just. When you buy

(56:54):
something, it should be yours. You know, that's,
that's the way I look at it. But.

Well, it seemed kind of wrong because, I mean, if
they can give it to you with the push
of a button, then why would they
hold that back? Oh, that is beautiful.
oh, you see the engine in that thing? A little
Nova. I don't know. Look at the back
tires on that thing.

>> Jamie B (57:17):
Wow.

it looks like a 64
Nova 396 and got
some very, very wide tires on the back. Beautiful
vehicle. but anyway,
it just seems like. Almost like being mean,
not going ahead and pushing the button and giving you the heated seats,
if.

>> Jamie B (57:37):
But, you know, that's just going to lead into people being.
Figuring out ways to backdoor into the software for these
vehicles and they're going to unlock them on their own. I mean, it's
just, you know, it's.

Oh, you're saying you can buy a little app and it
will.

>> Jamie B (57:52):
Yeah, yeah. Like jailbreak it like you. Like you can do
with, some other things. You know, there's always around
a way around. You know, it just really, what it
is, is how long does it take somebody to figure out how to. To
get around.

Well, you know, a person can do a huge.
Gather a lot of information about you,
your car, where you go, how fast
you drive by simply
sticking a little plug into
your OBD2 port.

>> Jamie B (58:21):
Yeah, yeah.

And they can know a lot about you.
And so I'm, not sure if
anybody looked, but there has been people
that looked and wondered
why something is stuck on their OBD
port, and they didn't. They wasn't sure what it was.

>> Jamie B (58:40):
Yeah, well, I mean, it's, you know, your cars will tell or
tell on you. I mean, you know, my, my work
truck does automatic software updates overnight while
I'm, Because it knows I'm not sleeping overnight.

Gary, we got a question. Come on over here. Gary. Sit down and
put the headset on.

>> Jamie B (58:55):
Oh, I gotta get used to this, the
automatic app thing.

We got Gary Cottle here. He is with
Kingdom Web Pros, and he is the
webmaster. And Kingdom Web Pros is actually
the company that's doing the site. Great
company. If you're looking for somewhere to, do a website
for you, they are the place to go. Great
professional, business websites.
Gary, you mentioned that, you're setting it

(59:22):
up to where people can post a question. Yes,
sir. right next to our video. And right now,
the audio part of it works. If they
push a button above the box, they can listen to the
show. Yes, sir.
All right, now you have a question that come in?
Yeah, I have a question from James from
Edgefield. He says, I have a 2017

(59:43):
Chevy Silverado with 117,000
miles. It had 57,000
when I purchased it. Would you recommend
have the fluid exchange on the transmission with
that many miles? Yes. you mentioned total
is 117,000 miles on it now. That
is correct. Yeah. I, would. Now, there was a time that I

(01:00:03):
might not have many years ago, when people would
say it's time for a transmission service. They would recommend you
removing the transmission pan, putting a new
filter in there, and then putting the pan back
up, and then pouring five quarts of fluid
back in. Well, the transmission system
holds 12 to 14 quarts.
So what you were doing is you were taking five quarts

(01:00:26):
out of old fluid, putting the pan
back up, pouring five quarts of new fluid on top of
another seven or eight quarts of old fluid that
was mixing together. It's like washing dishes with dirty
dishwater. I got you so bad move.
now, the modern way to do it is to leave the
pan on there, not touch the filter. Matter of fact, some
cars don't even have filters anymore. They just have screens.

(01:00:49):
And some do, like in Jamie's world. they
have external filters if they have it. But, you don't
remove the pan, you don't remove the filter. You got to have a piece of
machine that as the transmission is pumping
its old fluid out toward the front, toward the
cooler of the thing, it pushes
the old fluid out, goes under a piston, and lets

(01:01:10):
new fluid go in to take its place. So you replace
it 100% of the transmission fluid.
And no, you don't have any problems doing that.
And yes, I would recommend doing it. Excellent.

>> Jamie B (01:01:22):
So you're removing the, contaminated or
the broken down fluid. There's really not
anything floating around very much in transmission fluid.
It's a sealed system.

>> Aaron Clements (01:01:32):
And heat is what makes the difference
on transmission fluid on how long it lasts. You take a car
that's pulling a trailer or something, and I would probably
be recommending replacing the transmission fluid every
20,000 miles. you take a vehicle that's
driven, very light duty, not going up a lot of
hills, not terrible weather,
and you could get 70 or

(01:01:54):
80,000. But what I would recommend is
a general rule, somewhere between 30 and 50,000
miles on most vehicles. Some European
cars may ask or may recommend
longer, but somewhere around 30, 50,000
miles, I recommend doing it, but no, we've done
a ton of vehicles at 100,
110, 120, 150,

(01:02:17):
and, no problems. I can't think of a fluid
exchange that we've done. And it's
made something worse, as far as
messing something up like in the old days. That
would happen. you could have a perfect
transmission and change that filter and all that on
there, and boom, it would, it would do terrible. So,

(01:02:37):
yeah, great question, though. That was really good question.
Okay, and so, Gary,
your, the goal is going to be for
someone to be able to just go to
ccautoshow.com
and be able to watch the video. It will pop right up right
in front of them. And then if they want to ask the
question, they can either do it by phone, we have a phone

(01:03:00):
number, but they can also
just go push chat, put their
question, just like, what was the person's name?
Oh, in Edgefield. James. James and
Edgefield did. And we would be able to
answer that question on air. And that's
great for people who don't really have time to be on the
phone or talk. We can just answer it that

(01:03:22):
way. And then as they're riding down the road, they can hear the
answer to their question. Absolutely.
Gary, we want to say thank you for all you're doing at
Kingdom Web Pros for the CNC auto
show site. Oh, it's our pleasure. We're going to have a lot of fun with
it and, I appreciate your patience as we work out
the technical issues. the reason we hadn't had it
ready today is simply because there's so many options. We're just really

(01:03:45):
testing to see which one works best for the show. I can tell you I've
enjoyed working with Kingdom Web Pros. We appreciate it. And Jamie,
I always enjoy working with you also.

>> Jamie B (01:03:52):
Oh, yeah.
