Speaker 1 (00:03):
I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
You've got Mercury reed.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Ma Chevy to the litty Osa. Good afternoon, and welcome
to the car show, Dane Donovan. I'm taking all of
your car questions. The number to call five one three
seven nine fifty five hundred. That number again, five one
three seven four nine fifty five hundreds of gorgeous Saturday afternoon.
(00:29):
And again I'm taking your phone calls and we'll call
five one three seven four nine fifty five hundred. That
number again, five one three seven four nine fifty five hundred.
Let's go to Dave. We've got Dave on phone. Dave,
welcome to the car show.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I can help god, Dan, how's it going?
Speaker 5 (00:45):
I'm good. How are you, sir?
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Doing pretty good?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Did you ever figure out how I'd be able to
read the caves off that ninety one? Mastah?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
I did you know what I did? Uh?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I did do that, and uh, I can't remember I
printed it off for you. I can't remember what terminals
it was because there's there's two terminals. I I uh,
I'm trying to think here.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I want to say, because I said it's a black
plug and each one has like point zero two foldage
come through Uh, well you took that two together or
you ground.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
One of them ground. Well, yeah, there's there's two terminals.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I want to say, don't hold me to this. I
looked it up, I printed it off and everything for you.
It's at work. I want to it was like terminal
like one and seven. I think it was you jump them. Uh,
but don't hold me to that. I'll, i'll, i'll, I
have the printed it. I have it printed out at work.
What I want you to do is, I think it's
one sentence, So you just you literally take a paper
(01:48):
clip and you jump one and seven and then that
that light will flash and like I said, you know
it'll flash like this is just an example. It might
flash to turn two times right and then stop and
then flash three times, which would you code twenty three?
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Right?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
But man, I'm trying to think. I thought it was
one in seven, but I haven't printed out at work.
Call me to call me on Monday and i'll, i'll,
I'll give it to you. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
I have it printed out. It's all my desk because
I tried a couple.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Of different ways and I couldn't get nothing to work
for me.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Well, do you live close by I mean you can
if you're welcome to swing by, and I'll do it.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
For you, okay. And then the other question I had
for you was turn signal. It blinks real fast, it
doesn't work, of course. And then but when it blinks
real fast, or ain't no green indicator blinking on the
dashboard Normally when you got like a burnout ball, it
(02:47):
blank's real fast. You can hear it blinking real fast.
But it don't work the same way with the emergency flashers.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Really you think that would be.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Something like a thieves box in there, because so so are.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
The turn signals working outside of the vehicle?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
The left one does, but the right one don't. The
bulbs are good, okay.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
All right, so you've replaced the balls, and when you so,
the hazards don't work as well?
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Do they work on the left side, on the right side.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Right, Yeah, they don't work on the right side, and
they work on the left side. And then the main
thing I noticed is on the inside the green indicator
usually blanks do and that don't blank at all. It
don't light up.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, all right, So all right, so you you you
turn on the left turn signal, everything works.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Turn on the right, nothing works.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Right, the sound but nothing's blanking.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
So you can hear the noise. It's it's it's blinking fast.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
But there's no no, absolutely nothing on the right side.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Right, there's no lights lighting up and even on the inside.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Okay, and you've replaced the balls, and you said, I mean,
what about the turn signal switch.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Well, I didn't replace the balls, but I a same
they're all working because I've never had that work. Have
that happened before with the indicator on the inside doesn't.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Lie as well? Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I think, I mean, you would want to make sure
that you've got you want to make sure that you've
got power and ground going, you know, make sure you
have power and ground going to those balls. If you don't,
then yeah, you got to trace it back to I
don't know that it would be a computer problem. My
next step would be to replace the turn signal switch.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Turn signal switch, because of course the parking lights work,
you know when I turn those on.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, that's I mean, I would before you go trying
to chase down a wire issue or a computer issue,
the turn signal switch would probably be my first step.
I mean, you know, my guys obviously would you know,
do running wire diagram and so on and so forth,
but without being able to physically look at it. Right,
(05:06):
So I think for you your next step would be to
replace the turn signal switch.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Okay, can you test those.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
If you take them apart?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yes, but there's no there's no way that you can,
like you still have to take it out, you know
what I mean, especially with it being a ninety one,
because it's pretty obd two.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
So okay, Hey, Dan, I really appreciate your help today.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
All right, you take care, all right, taking your phone
calls and I'm gonna call five one, three, seven, nine,
fifty five hundred coming up. We've got Dan, Randy and Ben.

Speaker 7 (06:13):
Call five one three eight two nine ninety thirty eight
two nine ninety thirty.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
The one place for Sean Hannity weekdays at three oh
six fifty five KRC, the talk station.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
As you're listening to the car show on fifty five KRC,
de Talk Station, I'm Dane Donovan from Donovan's Auto entire
Center here every Saturday to take all of your car questions.
Love to hear from you, so get the number. Call
five one, three seven four nine fifty five hundred. Let's
go back to the phones. We've got Dan. Hey, Dan,
welcome to the car show. How can I help?
Speaker 8 (06:47):
How you doing, Dean?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
I'm good?
Speaker 8 (06:49):
How are you fine? Two thousand and seven Buick concern
with the three point eight one hundred and seven thousand
miles on it, and I'm looking to respread or replace that.
I think it's called a scrut engine torque mount. It's
on that top side, okay, And I have a couple
(07:10):
of questions on that. When I pull that off. Is
the engine going to shift or move that I have
to watch.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Out for or no, no, no, I mean it might
move a little bit, but it's not most of that
Most of that engine is being held up by the
lower motor mount. So now when you take that torque
rod we called torque rod or torque strut or torque
mount whatever, No, it might shift a tab it like
you know, you might take it off and you won't
notice it. But then when you go to try to
(07:38):
put the new one on and line those those bolts
back up, you might have to move it just to
tad bit. But it's nothing that is drastic. You know,
you might have a hard time starting the bolt. But
a lot of times, you know, you get a pride
bar or whatnot and just you know, get somebody to
But no, you'll you'll be fine, You'll be totally fine.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
Now does that have to be a factory part or
can you go after market on that?
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Well?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Great question?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Uh, I mean, I I always say, I mean, factory
is always the best, right, okay, but not everybody wants
to pay factory price, right. A factory of Strup map
might be you know, you know, might be one hundred
and seventy six dollars or you might be able to
find one on even or on Amazon for fourteen dollars. Right,
but with with with car parts, it does it does
(08:28):
go saying you know you get what you paid for it, right, Uh,
does it have to be a factory on No, not
on something like that.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
No, I don't know that the quality is going to
be there.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
And I always say too, if you're doing it yourself,
you're already saving yourself a ton of money by doing
it yourself. So you know, put the put the dealer
part on it. You're doing it yourself, I think you'll
be much happier with the turnout. But again, you don't
have to on something like that. It's not going to
make a huge difference.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
But I'm a huge proponent to it.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I mean in my own vehicles, I put dealer products
on if I can, if they're available. But then I
you know, I have a benefit because you know I
can do it myself. Right, So, but not everybody can
do it, but not from market won't be fine. But
just don't go with the cheapest one just right. You know,
if you want to save yourself some money, go with
you know something mill of the.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Line, right, okay?
Speaker 8 (09:23):
And where would I find that there's a lot of
this is going in I think a luminum threads or
something mound or whatever. Where would you find that torque
specs for the the nut and the bolt on this?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Man, to be honest with you, I don't know that
they're I mean you might, I don't. I don't think that.
I'm don't thinking. I mean, I don't know that you
beer out you're I don't think you'll be able to
find it.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I don't know that there's going to be one for that, okay,
because I mean if I mean, my guys might be
able to find it, but man, that would be pretty
difficult to try to find that. I'm sure it's out there.
But I would say that just you want to make
sure that they're hand tight. You know, I wouldn't use
any type of you know, if you use like a
(10:13):
an air tool or some type of drill or something
like that to tighten them up, that's fine, But I
would just make sure that you you hand tighten them
and you'll be fine.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
Okay. And would you put anything on the threads and
I ses or anything going into aluminum.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
You're going into aluminum.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
I mean we don't typically, I mean my guys don't
a lot of times too.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
The anti SS, yes.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
The anti CES is, you know, it's designed to keep
it from allowing it to come out the next time
and not.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
But going into aluminum.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
No, I mean, if it was, if it was you know,
if it was you know, metal, maybe, but I mean
we we don't use a ton of anti cs. Okay,
I mean that you know that the anti SES is
really kind of to prevent that thing from not season
up right, and then you really don't want to run
(11:07):
the risk of it backing out. You know, even though
you hand tightening, it could still eventually back out.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
So okay, And one last question. Now, this course has
got one hundred and seven thousand on it, seventeen years old.
One owner. My question is I was going to change
changing fluids and I looked in the owner's manual and
the first transmission service is not supposed to be done
till one hundred and fifty thousand miles and it's a
(11:34):
two thousand and seven. So I'm wondering what your take
is on with one hundred and seven would it hurt
to go ahead and do it? But it's seventeen years old.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Though, yeah, no, I would go ahead and do it. Yes, two,
uh no, it wouldn't hurt it. I would, I would
certainly do it.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
What I would tell you too is I would do don't.
I would not recommend doing like a flush. Don't do
like transmission flush, right, it's too abrasive. What I would
tell you to do is do a service where you
drop the pan, put a new filter in it, and
you know, you refill the transmission itself. I would do that,
(12:15):
or just you know, at least a draining fill, drain
out the what's in it, because you know your transmission
probably has you know nine it all cars, all makes,
the models are different, right, but you know it probably
has eight, nine, ten quarts of transmission fluid in there.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Right.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
When you do a flush, you flush out all of it.
But like I said, with one hundred and seven thousand
miles at seventeen years old, that's a little abrasive, that's
a little that's a little harsh on it. So I
would preferably I would recommend drop the pan, put a
new filter on it, and just refill the pan so
that you're only going to be replacing about four quarts
of transmission fluid. You're not replacing at all because we
want to slowly introduce that new fluid to the old
(12:53):
fluid because the fascosity of that fluid, that fluids a
lot thicker, because over years that fluid breaks down becomes
real thin, kind of like water. Right, And then if
we replaced it all, it's really hard on the transmission.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
So we kind of want to.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
We kind of want to walk before we run, right,
So I don't want to. It'd be like if you're
going to get a knee surgery and then run in
a marathon.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
We don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
We want to walk and slowly build that back up
and slowly introduce that transmission fluid to the old transmission fluid.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
But no, it's not going to hurt it. I think
it's a great thing to do.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Transmissions are expensive, and changing your oil and changing your
fluids are the cheapest things that you can do to
keep that thing running.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
Okay, Well, I appreciate it. You're welcome your show every weekend.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Well, thank you, I appreciate it. You have a great weekend.
And the thing about fluids is, you know, when I
got you know, I've been doing this for just actually
just celebrated twenty five years. I've been doing this twenty
five years. September eleventh, nineteen ninety nine is when I
started working for Donovans and Man, when I started fluid,
(14:00):
it's where man, you changed. You changed oil every three
thousand miles. You changed all your fluids every thirty thousand miles, and.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
That was it. And nowadays it's like, oh no, it's
it's lifetime fluid. You don't have to change it.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Oh your oil is good for once a year, and YadA, YadA, YadA,
which you know, don't get me started on that nonsense,
because that's that's just nonsense.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Your your car.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
The oil should be changed on your car. Still to
this day. I don't care what the car tells you
to do. I don't care what the dealer told you
to tell told you to do. You should be changing
oil every five thousand miles. Transmission fluid, I mean like
Volkswagens and Audi's, they've got lifetime transmission fluid. It's never
recommended to be replaced, which I disagree with.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
And uh, but I will be honest with you on
the oil.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
It's a massive problem, right, So yes, change your oil
every five thousand miles and make sure you're checking it.
I'll be honest with you, I don't know that I've
ever ever had an Audi or a Vo Now, just
because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
But I mean, I can't remember an Audi or Volkswagen ever,
not ever coming into my shop that needs a transmission.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Ever.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I've seen them come in every single day needing engines,
but never transmissions.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
They do a great job building transmissions. They don't do
a great job building engines, but most of these manufacturers
aren't doing it right either. I mean, you know, it's
a massive problem with these cars burning and using oil.
And I had a guy in not too long ago.
He didn't like to hear that and didn't like our answer,
but I mean they do. He's like, it's only got
(15:43):
one hundred thousand miles on it. I'm like, but he,
I mean, these cars start burning oil at fifty thousand miles.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I mean, it's a it's a huge problem.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
But you know, and a lot of people will was
there a recall like no anymore?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
If if.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
All of our automakers would go out of business immediately,
if they recalled everything that was wrong with these cars.
I mean they could, they couldn't. They couldn't afford it financially,
there's no way, right. So, typically, unless there's a class
action lawsuit or you know, somebody's lives have been lost
because of this issue, they usually don't offer a recall. So,
(16:18):
but you can always call your local dealer, and it's
a great thing to do.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Call your dealer.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
If you've got a newer call, just call a dealer
say hey, listen, here's my VEN number.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Do I have any open recalls?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Right?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
You're supposed to be notified by mail, but let's be honest,
a lot of times we kind of just you know,
it's like, oh, junk, ma, I'll throw it away, right,
But it's a great thing to do is call your dealer,
your local dealer, and just say, hey, here's my VEN number.
Do I have any open recalls on my vehicle? And
if they do, go ahead, schedule appointment, get them repaired,
(16:48):
you know, So it's important to do that. So and
change your fluids like that. That gentleman was asking all
the right questions, all right, again, taking your phone calls
on a recall five one, three, seven nine fifty five
hundred coming up. We've got Randy and Ben. You're listening
to the car show on fifty five krs.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
The talk station.
Speaker 9 (17:04):
Oudy, Mini, BMW, Volkswagen, Actors and Mercedes at Donovan's. We
know foreign cars require unique care to keep them running smoothly.
That's why we're proud to introduce the new Donovan's Auto

near Xavier. At Donovan's Auto Foreign, we have the tools
and expertise to keep your foreign vehicle moving and of
course signature Donovan's audo honesty. After all, Donovan's has been
(17:25):
the honest choice for auto repairents Cincinnai since nineteen fifty eight.
Donovan's Auto Foreign on Montgomery Road. Make your appointment online
at donovantire dot com.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
It's Glenn Beck weekday mornings at nine oh six on
fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
You're listening to the car show on fifty five krs.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
The talk station on Dan Donovan taking all of your
phone calls every Saturday from one to two. Again earlier
in the show I mentioned for the entire month of October,
all at Donnantire locations and several other repair shops in
the area are giving away free break pads or drum or,
I'm sorry, free break pads or shoes and donating ten
(18:07):
percent of the.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Entire break job.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
So you get free break pads, and then we donate
ten percent of the entire break job to the Karen
Willington Foundation.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
It's a local foundation.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Again, they help raise money for families who are going
through reast cancer and you know, allowing them to go
on trips to try to you know, get away from
all of the everything that they're going through. Right, So
it's a great cause. And again we do it every
year in the month of October. And so if you're
(18:40):
interested or you think you need breaks, you can visit
donovantire dot com and find your nearest location and we'll
get you we'll get it inspected. If you need breaks,
you get free break pads. So I mean most brake
pads nowadays, I mean it, you know, they run any
it depends on the car, right, but anywhere between one
hundred and two hundred dollars for a set of break paths. Right,
(19:01):
So if you need all four breaks, and that's going
to save you anywhere to you know, two hundred to
four hundred dollars, and again and then and then the rotors
in the labor itself, that whole break job. Ten percent
of that as well. We donate to the Caromel Winton
Foundation as well, So it's a win win for everybody.
So great cause will be. We'll be doing it all month,
(19:21):
the entire month of October. Some All right, let's go
back to the phones. We've got Randy. Hey, Randy, welcome
to the car show. How can I help?
Speaker 10 (19:29):
Yeah, I guess someone already answered what I called about.
I have a two. I have a twenty sixteen Chevrolet
Silverado pickup truck. Huh and uh it's got one hundred
and twenty thousand miles on it. Okay, I bought it
new and I'm retired now, so I want the truck
(19:50):
in really great shape. So I want to get the
best out of it. I'm going to take it in
and have service. You know, I want new service, team bell,
check the brakes, break line, plus out, the radiator, tune up,
all that. But I was also wondering about the transmission
fluid I've had I've hard mixed reviews on should you
change it or not change it, and I know you
(20:12):
probably recommend to go ahead and have the pain pulled
off the filter and all that. I didn't understand the
part about reintroducing new fluid gradually.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
So what happens is typically around typically any car that
has over one hundred thousand miles and that transmission fluid
hasn't been changed, that fluid over time it breaks down,
it becomes real it becomes thin like water. Okay, so
the transmission and the clutches and the gears are all
(20:43):
kind of used to that, right. What happens is if
you were to change all of the fluid at once,
that fluid is a lot thicker, and the viscosity of
it thickness is a lot harder on the transmission because
it's got one hundred and twenty thousand miles on it,
It's really hard on the transmission. So it would be
like the best analogy that I that I use is like,
(21:06):
it's like, you know your transmission right now with that
fluid that's in, It's like swimming in a pool of water. Okay,
it's easy, right, you go and you change all that
transmission fluid. Now you're like swimming in a pool of jello.
It's gonna be a lot harder because it's so thick
and you're not gonna be used to it, right, and
it's a lot of times what will happen is it'll
shock the transmission. The transmission can't handle it because it's
(21:28):
just too abras if it's just too thick. Right, So
by only changing you know, four out of the nine quarts,
it's slowly introduced into it and it's not as hard.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
On the transmission. Okay, follow me, Yes, So I mean,
go ahead.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
I guess My question is if I if you pull
the pan off, all the fluid comes out?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
No, because most No, you've got fluid in the torqu converter,
you got fluid in the transmission cooler lines, you've got
fluid in the in the radiator. So you get most
of it out, but you don't get all. I mean,
your torquenverter probably has I don't know five. I'm not
a transmission guy. Transmissionuy is probably gonna be ringing, screaming
(22:17):
at me. But I mean, you know, there's probably I'm
thinking a torque vertic can probably hold four or five
courts transmission fluid. You know, No, that's not gonna come
out the only way you could get it out is
if you did a transmission flush.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
So what you do is you hook up to.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
The transmission cooler lines and one line sucking it out,
one line is feeding it in. But like I said,
if you did all that, you don't want to do
all that because you know, if it and correct me,
you haven't had that done at all, correct correct all right,
So and it's just it's just if you if you
(22:53):
flushed it, you know, you could flush it and possibly
be back okay, but you know the problem is all
those that all that metal, all that all those particles
and everything like that. You just forced all that through
that filter, right, So now you plug up the filter.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Now, if you were gonna drop the pan, what I.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Would recommend is you drop the pan, you put a
new filter in it, and you replace you know, you're
on that silverado. I mean you know you're probably gonna
replace it with about five quarts. I mean you're gonna
replace about half of it, not all of it, you know,
and then over time, you know, and then and what
I would like you to do is in thirty thousand miles,
if you want, you could do the flush then But
(23:33):
it's just like I said, you could do the you
could do the flush.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
It's just really it's really.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Hard on the transmission, and you just don't want to
create a problem that you know shouldn't be there, right it.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Like I said, I used the analledge earlier too.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
It's like if you would and had knee surgery, you
wouldn't go get up and run a marathon the next day. Right,
You've got to slowly, so we're slowly introducing that fluid
so it's not too abrasive, so it's not so hard
on it, so you prolong the life of the transmission.
Speaker 10 (24:00):
So so, uh, the mechanic I'm taking it too. I've
known him for years of highlight trusting. And he pulls
that payan off and the filter and I'll mention to
him what you just told me. I imagine he's going
to agree with you and they'll just pull the pan
off the filter and just refill fluid and lead the
fluid in the torque murder. That correct, So that should do.
(24:24):
What about the rear indifferential?
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
So typically you know differentials are usually that would be
a good time. Is it is this Silverado four wheel drive?
Speaker 5 (24:35):
Yes? Okay, so that's a great question.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
So we need to think about at one hundred and
twenty thousand miles, we need to think about the rear
differential fluid, We need to think about the front differential fluid.
And when you think about the transfer case fluid, those
are all fluids that need to be changed as well.
Now those the differential fluids are gear oil, right, so
there's you know, gear the gear oil can just can
(24:59):
can go forever, right, And these things aren't you know,
they've got moving parts, but it's not like an engine oil, right, So,
and it's a synthetic fluid. But yeah, I would be
absolutely And it depends on year making model whatnot. On
the transfer case. You know, some of them take transmission fluid,
some of them take GM special fluid. You know, every
year making model is different. But you know, if you're
(25:21):
gonna if you're gonna have the you know, the serpentine
belts done, you're gonna have the tune up done, you know,
think about and you're gonna have the coolant flush, you're
gonna do the transmission. I would do a transmission service
because you know that pan's got a big magnet at
the bottom of it. So when they drop that pan
that magnet could just be full of metal because when
it's circulating through that transmission or whatnot, you know, those
gears they start breaking down, right, and that metal it
(25:43):
sticks to that. So you want to get that, you know,
you want to get that magnet, clean it all off,
get all that metal off there, put a new filter
on it, new gasket, fill the transmission, and then I
would absolutely recommend plane replacing all the rear differential fluid
front differential fluid. They're gonna probably be the same like
eighty W ninety or seventy five one forty. It's pretty standard, right,
(26:07):
And then the trans the transfer case flu as well,
because GM is notorious for their transfer cases going out
because nobody changes the fluid in them and they the
change there, it actually has a chain in it and
it wears out, wears a hole in the case, and
so it's But those fluids are you know, they're not
as important as the oil, but every one hundred thousand
(26:28):
miles they should be done. So you're kind of at
a critical I mean, I've serviced a lot of gems.
My wife has a GMC uh chevy, you know, but
uh man, those all those fluids get overlooked and a
very differential or transfer case is very very expensive. So
it's important. And you know, for those of you I've
(26:48):
my wife is ad I think she's on her fourth GMC.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Listen, I know at one hundred thousand miles.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yeah, GMC is gonna, you know, Chevy GMC, They're gonna
hit you hard because you've got all those flood that
you got to change. But you know, in theory, by
doing all that, you're good for another one hundred thousand miles.
Speaker 10 (27:07):
It's cheaper than a new truck.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Absolutely, have you seen these things nowadays?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Good lord, I guess my other my question on that
is when they change the fluid the gear oils, they
just suck that They just suck that fluid out and
put all new fluid in them or how's that done?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yes, that depends every year, making model a little bit different.
Some of them have some of them have a drain
drain plug. Some of them you have to take the
whole housing off the rear differential, but some of them
just have a just have a plug. You take it
out and you suck it out, and then you fill
it back up, and then you fill it up to
the point where it starts pouring out of that fill
fill hole, and then once it stops comes to a drip,
(27:48):
then you then you cap it and you refill it.
But every every every year is different. But and that
gear oil.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Stinks, It stinks to high heaven.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
But but I mean the things, the they'll last.
Speaker 10 (28:01):
Okay, So like I said, I'll take it to a
very reliable mechanic I've known for thirty years, so I'm
sure he'll know what to do.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Well.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
If you if you know, if he says something that that,
if he tells you something that I didn't, you call
me back and say, hey, his theory on that you know?
Because listen, I've been doing this for twenty five years.
But does that mean I know absolutely everything? Or do
I know somebody else's opinion? Right, I mean everybody's Sometimes
my opinion might be different than your mechanics' opinion. But
(28:32):
if he says something that doesn't jive with what I
told you, you call me back and let me know
and tell me not not to not not not as
like an aha moments, just no.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
I mean I want to hear. I want to hear.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
I want to get gained every bit of knowledge that
I possibly can about this industry and sometimes I mean
I had, you know, And that's what and that's why
I enjoy what I do. Is because you know, you
sit there and you go, you know, oh, d you
work on cars. Yeah, but every single year make model.
These cars are always evolving, They're always changing, the industry
(29:05):
is always changing, so there's always something to learn, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 10 (29:08):
And by that, you know, that's why. That's why I
called you, because I want to compare your opinion.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
All right, Well if he has if he says anything differently,
you call me. I want to hear his opinion. All right, Randy,
take care all right, Uh huh by bye, all right?
Uh taking your phone calls and I'm wanna call five one, three, seven, four,
nine fifty five hundred again. This this industry is always changing,
it's always evolving, so there's never a dull moment in
(29:35):
this industry. So I enjoy what I do, really do.
That's why I'm here every Saturday to take all of
your car questions. So all right, coming up, We've got Ben.

Speaker 6 (30:16):
This is fifty five KRC, an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Taking your car questions. The number to call five one
three hundred. Although we are one.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
An out of time, but uh, I promise to get
to everybody as as quickly as I can. But let's uh,
let's go to the phones. We've got Ben, Ben, thanks
for patiently waiting. I really do appreciate it. How can
I help?
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Thanks for taking my call?
Speaker 5 (30:43):
Not wrong?
Speaker 6 (30:43):
I got a two thousand and seven and I call
them P van step van Ford chassis on it. It
could sit for a week, two weeks, Get in it
for us, right?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Up.
Speaker 6 (30:56):
So then sometime you get in. It won't do anything.
It's just to start. It's bad. If I took it
to a mechanic heaven put a new starter on to
him and check to see what's it? A external? Uh?
What I want to say starter? Sollinoid? He said, no,
it's on that particular one. It's all built in. Where
should I start? Because new starter, new battery in August
(31:18):
goes today, won't crank, won't do nothing, just turns, you know,
like the starter ain't even kicking in. And it could
be a fuse because I wouldn't think, because.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Once a fuse blows, you're done and it doesn't come back.
God right done?
Speaker 6 (31:34):
So what no takes what days it wanted to turnover?
It takes what days? They don't want to turn over?
As always when it's blocking something.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
So you gotta You got a brand new starter and
a new battery.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
You said, new battery, new starter, big old slade battery.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Okay. And when you turn the ignition, there's nothing.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
You don't hear anything, there's no noises, nothing, power come on.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
The radio, the power.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
Yeah, so you've got power lights up on the dash.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
All right, So you turn the key and just nothing.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
No turnover, no turnover. Lights on the dash come on,
turn and hold a key on in the star position.
Blow the horn, horn blows good lights sign good. It's
I don't know if maybe it's in a column maybe.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Man not not.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
I tried newt switched. Yeah, I tried moving the shifted
down to the new two switched. Play around back and
forth right in that area.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Yeah, so you put it you put it in neutral.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
Yeah, you put it in neutral and it still didn't
change anything.
Speaker 6 (32:40):
Yeah, and play with it up and down right in
that air, you know, to make sure it ain't the
neutral switched that you know.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Okay, Well, it sounds like you've covered a lot of
your bases. The starter, how how long ago was it replaced?
Speaker 5 (32:53):
August? Okay?
Speaker 6 (32:55):
And I had them put a new tune up and
brand new star on it because I had looked up
fun in there and I seen the old starter had
a slight crack on the celinoid. So I said, well,
I ain't got time to you know, yeah, I play
with that. Just put a new one on. Be done,
and it's been cranking fine, but now it's gone back
to that crank today. Wait two days later? Uh one
(33:17):
crank Wait another two day? Oh, fire right up?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Did you notice after he replaced the starter, did I mean,
how quickly did the problem come back?
Speaker 5 (33:27):
I mean he replaced the starter in August the problem
came back.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Oh, the problem came back like a month later. I've
been moving it, cranking it up joyfully, like oh okay,
got rid of all them issues. Go there today, back
to the same mold.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
No start on the starter or do you remember? Do
you know what?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Did he put in a new one or remanufactured an aftermarket.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Won probably remanufactured most likely.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Yeah, do you he didn't mention the brand or anything
like that.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
No, he's close today. I was gonna call him Monday.
But it just was bothering me that I thought I
had this issue gone, and here we're back into that is.
I just thought, you know, maybe you had a suggestion,
was there a breaker or somethingwhere But the problem is
(34:18):
it's a fort chassis, but it's a Gremlin body, so
you know, it's not your basic whole setup, you know,
for it sends them to chassis and then they slaps
the body on it. So that's what I thought. It
was the external pillinoid start a silinoid, but I'm thinking, like,
where is that at he said, wasn't one on there?
What he said? He didn't see it's none on that one,
(34:41):
because I just knew that's what external sylinoid would do sometimes.
And they said some of them have two of them
on them.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
I haven't seen them with two on them. Most of
them just have one.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
I mean, okay, you know, I.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Mean to be honest with you, I mean nine at
a ten times, nine out of ten times, unless you've
got some type of you know, ignition. You know, could
be a bad ignition switch or something like that, or
you know, it could be.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
Well, if you've got a bad ANISI switch. If you
turn it on to the lights on the dash and
get out of there with that old school driver symptom,
shouldn't it turn over?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
No?
Speaker 6 (35:23):
I mean yeah, I mean but it won't start. Yeah,
I didn't do it this round. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
The symptoms, Yeah, the symptoms that you're having experiencing today
are they exactly the same that they were before the
starter was replaced?
Speaker 6 (35:39):
Correct? Correct, and for a whole month, no issue. Go
crank it, move it out of my way, you know.
And it's such a big truck even when it starts,
even if it start now, I would be nervous to
take it anywhere. Well, I mean I forget it just
told you know, to get it told would just be Have.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
You checked all of your connections at the battery.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Make sure the battery connections of the negative pot of
positive are tight.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
Maybe check those.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Make sure that that yep, make sure that that ground
wires is tight and clean as well to the body
of the car. And then also make sure that the
the the connection at the starter is a good connection,
because I'm thinking, either you've got a bad connection at
the battery or or the ground or at the starter,
(36:30):
or the starter that he put in there is defective.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
I really do believe me.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
I had a car one time we had to put
I think it was four or five I think it.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Was four, I think four, four or five Altnators on
this one super U before we got a good one.
I mean, right out of the box. We put them
in cars.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Not working, car won't it's not charging, it's not charging.
I'm like, listen, something's going on, because there's no way.
I'm like, we got a bigger problem. No, it just
took us five, five Altnators to get one right. And
I've had starters right out of the lox bad so
I mean before you off.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
So now I don't know where he went. I was
already told one distribution place to stay away from because
people always complained about they're just not good. So I
know I'm not gonna name no names, but I always
go to one that starts with a O and got
a K in it and get them there because I
never really had issues about.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Yeah, you know, yeah, check check your connections at the
battery and the starter. I think you just got possibly
a defective starter or just a bad, bad connection. So
I'm sorry to cut you off short, but thanks for
the call. Call me next week for the follow up.
So again, thank you everybody for calling. I'll be back
next Saturday to answer all of your car questions again.
(37:44):
Free break pads at Donovan Tyre for the entire month
of October, So make your appointment this week and we'll
get him in and get checked out. So I'll be
back next weekend. Everybody enjoyed the weekend. Thank you so
much for you listening to the Car Show on fifty
five KRC, the talk station.
Speaker 6 (38:01):
The Love and
Speaker 3 (38:18):
The Love
I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
You've got Mercury reed.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Ma Chevy to the litty Osa. Good afternoon, and welcome
to the car show, Dane Donovan. I'm taking all of
your car questions. The number to call five one three
seven nine fifty five hundred. That number again, five one
three seven four nine fifty five hundreds of gorgeous Saturday afternoon.
(00:29):
And again I'm taking your phone calls and we'll call
five one three seven four nine fifty five hundred. That
number again, five one three seven four nine fifty five hundred.
Let's go to Dave. We've got Dave on phone. Dave,
welcome to the car show.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I can help god, Dan, how's it going?
Speaker 5 (00:45):
I'm good. How are you, sir?
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Doing pretty good?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Did you ever figure out how I'd be able to
read the caves off that ninety one? Mastah?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
I did you know what I did? Uh?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I did do that, and uh, I can't remember I
printed it off for you. I can't remember what terminals
it was because there's there's two terminals. I I uh,
I'm trying to think here.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I want to say, because I said it's a black
plug and each one has like point zero two foldage
come through Uh, well you took that two together or
you ground.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
One of them ground. Well, yeah, there's there's two terminals.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
I want to say, don't hold me to this. I
looked it up, I printed it off and everything for you.
It's at work. I want to it was like terminal
like one and seven. I think it was you jump them. Uh,
but don't hold me to that. I'll, i'll, i'll, I
have the printed it. I have it printed out at work.
What I want you to do is, I think it's
one sentence, So you just you literally take a paper
(01:48):
clip and you jump one and seven and then that
that light will flash and like I said, you know
it'll flash like this is just an example. It might
flash to turn two times right and then stop and
then flash three times, which would you code twenty three?
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Right?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
But man, I'm trying to think. I thought it was
one in seven, but I haven't printed out at work.
Call me to call me on Monday and i'll, i'll,
I'll give it to you. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
I have it printed out. It's all my desk because
I tried a couple.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Of different ways and I couldn't get nothing to work
for me.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Well, do you live close by I mean you can
if you're welcome to swing by, and I'll do it.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
For you, okay. And then the other question I had
for you was turn signal. It blinks real fast, it
doesn't work, of course. And then but when it blinks
real fast, or ain't no green indicator blinking on the
dashboard Normally when you got like a burnout ball, it
(02:47):
blank's real fast. You can hear it blinking real fast.
But it don't work the same way with the emergency flashers.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Really you think that would be.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Something like a thieves box in there, because so so are.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
The turn signals working outside of the vehicle?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
The left one does, but the right one don't. The
bulbs are good, okay.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
All right, so you've replaced the balls, and when you so,
the hazards don't work as well?
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Do they work on the left side, on the right side.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Right, Yeah, they don't work on the right side, and
they work on the left side. And then the main
thing I noticed is on the inside the green indicator
usually blanks do and that don't blank at all. It
don't light up.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, all right, So all right, so you you you
turn on the left turn signal, everything works.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Turn on the right, nothing works.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Right, the sound but nothing's blanking.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
So you can hear the noise. It's it's it's blinking fast.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
But there's no no, absolutely nothing on the right side.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Right, there's no lights lighting up and even on the inside.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Okay, and you've replaced the balls, and you said, I mean,
what about the turn signal switch.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Well, I didn't replace the balls, but I a same
they're all working because I've never had that work. Have
that happened before with the indicator on the inside doesn't.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Lie as well? Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I think, I mean, you would want to make sure
that you've got you want to make sure that you've
got power and ground going, you know, make sure you
have power and ground going to those balls. If you don't,
then yeah, you got to trace it back to I
don't know that it would be a computer problem. My
next step would be to replace the turn signal switch.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Turn signal switch, because of course the parking lights work,
you know when I turn those on.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, that's I mean, I would before you go trying
to chase down a wire issue or a computer issue,
the turn signal switch would probably be my first step.
I mean, you know, my guys obviously would you know,
do running wire diagram and so on and so forth,
but without being able to physically look at it. Right,
(05:06):
So I think for you your next step would be to
replace the turn signal switch.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Okay, can you test those.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
If you take them apart?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yes, but there's no there's no way that you can,
like you still have to take it out, you know
what I mean, especially with it being a ninety one,
because it's pretty obd two.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
So okay, Hey, Dan, I really appreciate your help today.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
All right, you take care, all right, taking your phone
calls and I'm gonna call five one, three, seven, nine,
fifty five hundred coming up. We've got Dan, Randy and Ben.

with the three point eight one hundred and seven thousand
miles on it, and I'm looking to respread or replace that.
I think it's called a scrut engine torque mount. It's
on that top side, okay, And I have a couple
(07:10):
of questions on that. When I pull that off. Is
the engine going to shift or move that I have
to watch.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Out for or no, no, no, I mean it might
move a little bit, but it's not most of that
Most of that engine is being held up by the
lower motor mount. So now when you take that torque
rod we called torque rod or torque strut or torque
mount whatever, No, it might shift a tab it like
you know, you might take it off and you won't
notice it. But then when you go to try to
(07:38):
put the new one on and line those those bolts
back up, you might have to move it just to
tad bit. But it's nothing that is drastic. You know,
you might have a hard time starting the bolt. But
a lot of times, you know, you get a pride
bar or whatnot and just you know, get somebody to
But no, you'll you'll be fine, You'll be totally fine.
Speaker 8 (07:58):
Now does that have to be a factory part or
can you go after market on that?
Speaker 6 (08:03):
Well?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Great question?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Uh, I mean, I I always say, I mean, factory
is always the best, right, okay, but not everybody wants
to pay factory price, right. A factory of Strup map
might be you know, you know, might be one hundred
and seventy six dollars or you might be able to
find one on even or on Amazon for fourteen dollars. Right,
but with with with car parts, it does it does
(08:28):
go saying you know you get what you paid for it, right, Uh,
does it have to be a factory on No, not
on something like that.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
No, I don't know that the quality is going to
be there.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
And I always say too, if you're doing it yourself,
you're already saving yourself a ton of money by doing
it yourself. So you know, put the put the dealer
part on it. You're doing it yourself, I think you'll
be much happier with the turnout. But again, you don't
have to on something like that. It's not going to
make a huge difference.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
But I'm a huge proponent to it.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I mean in my own vehicles, I put dealer products
on if I can, if they're available. But then I
you know, I have a benefit because you know I
can do it myself. Right, So, but not everybody can
do it, but not from market won't be fine. But
just don't go with the cheapest one just right. You know,
if you want to save yourself some money, go with
you know something mill of the.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
Line, right, okay?
Speaker 8 (09:23):
And where would I find that there's a lot of
this is going in I think a luminum threads or
something mound or whatever. Where would you find that torque
specs for the the nut and the bolt on this?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Man, to be honest with you, I don't know that
they're I mean you might, I don't. I don't think that.
I'm don't thinking. I mean, I don't know that you
beer out you're I don't think you'll be able to
find it.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I don't know that there's going to be one for that, okay,
because I mean if I mean, my guys might be
able to find it, but man, that would be pretty
difficult to try to find that. I'm sure it's out there.
But I would say that just you want to make
sure that they're hand tight. You know, I wouldn't use
any type of you know, if you use like a
(10:13):
an air tool or some type of drill or something
like that to tighten them up, that's fine, But I
would just make sure that you you hand tighten them
and you'll be fine.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
Okay. And would you put anything on the threads and
I ses or anything going into aluminum.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
You're going into aluminum.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
I mean we don't typically, I mean my guys don't
a lot of times too.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
The anti SS, yes.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
The anti CES is, you know, it's designed to keep
it from allowing it to come out the next time
and not.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
But going into aluminum.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
No, I mean, if it was, if it was you know,
if it was you know, metal, maybe, but I mean
we we don't use a ton of anti cs. Okay,
I mean that you know that the anti SES is
really kind of to prevent that thing from not season
up right, and then you really don't want to run
(11:07):
the risk of it backing out. You know, even though
you hand tightening, it could still eventually back out.
Speaker 8 (11:11):
So okay, And one last question. Now, this course has
got one hundred and seven thousand on it, seventeen years old.
One owner. My question is I was going to change
changing fluids and I looked in the owner's manual and
the first transmission service is not supposed to be done
till one hundred and fifty thousand miles and it's a
(11:34):
two thousand and seven. So I'm wondering what your take
is on with one hundred and seven would it hurt
to go ahead and do it? But it's seventeen years old.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Though, yeah, no, I would go ahead and do it. Yes, two,
uh no, it wouldn't hurt it. I would, I would
certainly do it.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
What I would tell you too is I would do don't.
I would not recommend doing like a flush. Don't do
like transmission flush, right, it's too abrasive. What I would
tell you to do is do a service where you
drop the pan, put a new filter in it, and
you know, you refill the transmission itself. I would do that,
(12:15):
or just you know, at least a draining fill, drain
out the what's in it, because you know your transmission
probably has you know nine it all cars, all makes,
the models are different, right, but you know it probably
has eight, nine, ten quarts of transmission fluid in there.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Right.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
When you do a flush, you flush out all of it.
But like I said, with one hundred and seven thousand
miles at seventeen years old, that's a little abrasive, that's
a little that's a little harsh on it. So I
would preferably I would recommend drop the pan, put a
new filter on it, and just refill the pan so
that you're only going to be replacing about four quarts
of transmission fluid. You're not replacing at all because we
want to slowly introduce that new fluid to the old
(12:53):
fluid because the fascosity of that fluid, that fluids a
lot thicker, because over years that fluid breaks down becomes
real thin, kind of like water. Right, And then if
we replaced it all, it's really hard on the transmission.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
So we kind of want to.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
We kind of want to walk before we run, right,
So I don't want to. It'd be like if you're
going to get a knee surgery and then run in
a marathon.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
We don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
We want to walk and slowly build that back up
and slowly introduce that transmission fluid to the old transmission fluid.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
But no, it's not going to hurt it. I think
it's a great thing to do.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Transmissions are expensive, and changing your oil and changing your
fluids are the cheapest things that you can do to
keep that thing running.
Speaker 8 (13:35):
Okay, Well, I appreciate it. You're welcome your show every weekend.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Well, thank you, I appreciate it. You have a great weekend.
And the thing about fluids is, you know, when I
got you know, I've been doing this for just actually
just celebrated twenty five years. I've been doing this twenty
five years. September eleventh, nineteen ninety nine is when I
started working for Donovans and Man, when I started fluid,
(14:00):
it's where man, you changed. You changed oil every three
thousand miles. You changed all your fluids every thirty thousand miles, and.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
That was it. And nowadays it's like, oh no, it's
it's lifetime fluid. You don't have to change it.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Oh your oil is good for once a year, and YadA, YadA, YadA,
which you know, don't get me started on that nonsense,
because that's that's just nonsense.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Your your car.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
The oil should be changed on your car. Still to
this day. I don't care what the car tells you
to do. I don't care what the dealer told you
to tell told you to do. You should be changing
oil every five thousand miles. Transmission fluid, I mean like
Volkswagens and Audi's, they've got lifetime transmission fluid. It's never
recommended to be replaced, which I disagree with.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
And uh, but I will be honest with you on
the oil.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
It's a massive problem, right, So yes, change your oil
every five thousand miles and make sure you're checking it.
I'll be honest with you, I don't know that I've
ever ever had an Audi or a Vo Now, just
because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
But I mean, I can't remember an Audi or Volkswagen ever,
not ever coming into my shop that needs a transmission.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Ever.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
I've seen them come in every single day needing engines,
but never transmissions.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
They do a great job building transmissions. They don't do
a great job building engines, but most of these manufacturers
aren't doing it right either. I mean, you know, it's
a massive problem with these cars burning and using oil.
And I had a guy in not too long ago.
He didn't like to hear that and didn't like our answer,
but I mean they do. He's like, it's only got
(15:43):
one hundred thousand miles on it. I'm like, but he,
I mean, these cars start burning oil at fifty thousand miles.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I mean, it's a it's a huge problem.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
But you know, and a lot of people will was
there a recall like no anymore?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
If if.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
All of our automakers would go out of business immediately,
if they recalled everything that was wrong with these cars.
I mean they could, they couldn't. They couldn't afford it financially,
there's no way, right. So, typically, unless there's a class
action lawsuit or you know, somebody's lives have been lost
because of this issue, they usually don't offer a recall. So,
(16:18):
but you can always call your local dealer, and it's
a great thing to do.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
Call your dealer.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
If you've got a newer call, just call a dealer
say hey, listen, here's my VEN number.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
Do I have any open recalls?
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Right?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
You're supposed to be notified by mail, but let's be honest,
a lot of times we kind of just you know,
it's like, oh, junk, ma, I'll throw it away, right,
But it's a great thing to do is call your dealer,
your local dealer, and just say, hey, here's my VEN number.
Do I have any open recalls on my vehicle? And
if they do, go ahead, schedule appointment, get them repaired,
(16:48):
you know, So it's important to do that. So and
change your fluids like that. That gentleman was asking all
the right questions, all right, again, taking your phone calls
on a recall five one, three, seven nine fifty five
hundred coming up. We've got Randy and Ben. You're listening
to the car show on fifty five krs.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
The talk station.
Speaker 9 (17:04):
Oudy, Mini, BMW, Volkswagen, Actors and Mercedes at Donovan's. We
know foreign cars require unique care to keep them running smoothly.
That's why we're proud to introduce the new Donovan's Auto
Foreign at the corner of Montgomery Road and Dana Avenue
near Xavier. At Donovan's Auto Foreign, we have the tools
and expertise to keep your foreign vehicle moving and of
course signature Donovan's audo honesty. After all, Donovan's has been
(17:25):
the honest choice for auto repairents Cincinnai since nineteen fifty eight.
Donovan's Auto Foreign on Montgomery Road. Make your appointment online
at donovantire dot com.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
It's Glenn Beck weekday mornings at nine oh six on
fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
You're listening to the car show on fifty five krs.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
The talk station on Dan Donovan taking all of your
phone calls every Saturday from one to two. Again earlier
in the show I mentioned for the entire month of October,
all at Donnantire locations and several other repair shops in
the area are giving away free break pads or drum or,
I'm sorry, free break pads or shoes and donating ten
(18:07):
percent of the.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Entire break job.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
So you get free break pads, and then we donate
ten percent of the entire break job to the Karen
Willington Foundation.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
It's a local foundation.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Again, they help raise money for families who are going
through reast cancer and you know, allowing them to go
on trips to try to you know, get away from
all of the everything that they're going through. Right, So
it's a great cause. And again we do it every
year in the month of October. And so if you're
(18:40):
interested or you think you need breaks, you can visit
donovantire dot com and find your nearest location and we'll
get you we'll get it inspected. If you need breaks,
you get free break pads. So I mean most brake
pads nowadays, I mean it, you know, they run any
it depends on the car, right, but anywhere between one
hundred and two hundred dollars for a set of break paths. Right,
(19:01):
So if you need all four breaks, and that's going
to save you anywhere to you know, two hundred to
four hundred dollars, and again and then and then the rotors
in the labor itself, that whole break job. Ten percent
of that as well. We donate to the Caromel Winton
Foundation as well, So it's a win win for everybody.
So great cause will be. We'll be doing it all month,
(19:21):
the entire month of October. Some All right, let's go
back to the phones. We've got Randy. Hey, Randy, welcome
to the car show. How can I help?
Speaker 10 (19:29):
Yeah, I guess someone already answered what I called about.
I have a two. I have a twenty sixteen Chevrolet
Silverado pickup truck. Huh and uh it's got one hundred
and twenty thousand miles on it. Okay, I bought it
new and I'm retired now, so I want the truck
(19:50):
in really great shape. So I want to get the
best out of it. I'm going to take it in
and have service. You know, I want new service, team bell,
check the brakes, break line, plus out, the radiator, tune up,
all that. But I was also wondering about the transmission
fluid I've had I've hard mixed reviews on should you
change it or not change it, and I know you
(20:12):
probably recommend to go ahead and have the pain pulled
off the filter and all that. I didn't understand the
part about reintroducing new fluid gradually.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
So what happens is typically around typically any car that
has over one hundred thousand miles and that transmission fluid
hasn't been changed, that fluid over time it breaks down,
it becomes real it becomes thin like water. Okay, so
the transmission and the clutches and the gears are all
(20:43):
kind of used to that, right. What happens is if
you were to change all of the fluid at once,
that fluid is a lot thicker, and the viscosity of
it thickness is a lot harder on the transmission because
it's got one hundred and twenty thousand miles on it,
It's really hard on the transmission. So it would be
like the best analogy that I that I use is like,
(21:06):
it's like, you know your transmission right now with that
fluid that's in, It's like swimming in a pool of water. Okay,
it's easy, right, you go and you change all that
transmission fluid. Now you're like swimming in a pool of jello.
It's gonna be a lot harder because it's so thick
and you're not gonna be used to it, right, and
it's a lot of times what will happen is it'll
shock the transmission. The transmission can't handle it because it's
(21:28):
just too abras if it's just too thick. Right, So
by only changing you know, four out of the nine quarts,
it's slowly introduced into it and it's not as hard.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
On the transmission. Okay, follow me, Yes, So I mean,
go ahead.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
I guess My question is if I if you pull
the pan off, all the fluid comes out?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Correct?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
No, because most No, you've got fluid in the torqu converter,
you got fluid in the transmission cooler lines, you've got
fluid in the in the radiator. So you get most
of it out, but you don't get all. I mean,
your torquenverter probably has I don't know five. I'm not
a transmission guy. Transmissionuy is probably gonna be ringing, screaming
(22:17):
at me. But I mean, you know, there's probably I'm
thinking a torque vertic can probably hold four or five
courts transmission fluid. You know, No, that's not gonna come
out the only way you could get it out is
if you did a transmission flush.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
So what you do is you hook up to.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
The transmission cooler lines and one line sucking it out,
one line is feeding it in. But like I said,
if you did all that, you don't want to do
all that because you know, if it and correct me,
you haven't had that done at all, correct correct all right,
So and it's just it's just if you if you
(22:53):
flushed it, you know, you could flush it and possibly
be back okay, but you know the problem is all
those that all that metal, all that all those particles
and everything like that. You just forced all that through
that filter, right, So now you plug up the filter.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Now, if you were gonna drop the pan, what I.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Would recommend is you drop the pan, you put a
new filter in it, and you replace you know, you're
on that silverado. I mean you know you're probably gonna
replace it with about five quarts. I mean you're gonna
replace about half of it, not all of it, you know,
and then over time, you know, and then and what
I would like you to do is in thirty thousand miles,
if you want, you could do the flush then But
(23:33):
it's just like I said, you could do the you
could do the flush.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
It's just really it's really.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Hard on the transmission, and you just don't want to
create a problem that you know shouldn't be there, right it.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Like I said, I used the analledge earlier too.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
It's like if you would and had knee surgery, you
wouldn't go get up and run a marathon the next day. Right,
You've got to slowly, so we're slowly introducing that fluid
so it's not too abrasive, so it's not so hard
on it, so you prolong the life of the transmission.
Speaker 10 (24:00):
So so, uh, the mechanic I'm taking it too. I've
known him for years of highlight trusting. And he pulls
that payan off and the filter and I'll mention to
him what you just told me. I imagine he's going
to agree with you and they'll just pull the pan
off the filter and just refill fluid and lead the
fluid in the torque murder. That correct, So that should do.
(24:24):
What about the rear indifferential?
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
So typically you know differentials are usually that would be
a good time. Is it is this Silverado four wheel drive?
Speaker 5 (24:35):
Yes? Okay, so that's a great question.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
So we need to think about at one hundred and
twenty thousand miles, we need to think about the rear
differential fluid, We need to think about the front differential fluid.
And when you think about the transfer case fluid, those
are all fluids that need to be changed as well.
Now those the differential fluids are gear oil, right, so
there's you know, gear the gear oil can just can
(24:59):
can go forever, right, And these things aren't you know,
they've got moving parts, but it's not like an engine oil, right, So,
and it's a synthetic fluid. But yeah, I would be
absolutely And it depends on year making model whatnot. On
the transfer case. You know, some of them take transmission fluid,
some of them take GM special fluid. You know, every
year making model is different. But you know, if you're
(25:21):
gonna if you're gonna have the you know, the serpentine
belts done, you're gonna have the tune up done, you know,
think about and you're gonna have the coolant flush, you're
gonna do the transmission. I would do a transmission service
because you know that pan's got a big magnet at
the bottom of it. So when they drop that pan
that magnet could just be full of metal because when
it's circulating through that transmission or whatnot, you know, those
gears they start breaking down, right, and that metal it
(25:43):
sticks to that. So you want to get that, you know,
you want to get that magnet, clean it all off,
get all that metal off there, put a new filter
on it, new gasket, fill the transmission, and then I
would absolutely recommend plane replacing all the rear differential fluid
front differential fluid. They're gonna probably be the same like
eighty W ninety or seventy five one forty. It's pretty standard, right,
(26:07):
And then the trans the transfer case flu as well,
because GM is notorious for their transfer cases going out
because nobody changes the fluid in them and they the
change there, it actually has a chain in it and
it wears out, wears a hole in the case, and
so it's But those fluids are you know, they're not
as important as the oil, but every one hundred thousand
(26:28):
miles they should be done. So you're kind of at
a critical I mean, I've serviced a lot of gems.
My wife has a GMC uh chevy, you know, but
uh man, those all those fluids get overlooked and a
very differential or transfer case is very very expensive. So
it's important. And you know, for those of you I've
(26:48):
my wife is ad I think she's on her fourth GMC.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Listen, I know at one hundred thousand miles.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yeah, GMC is gonna, you know, Chevy GMC, They're gonna
hit you hard because you've got all those flood that
you got to change. But you know, in theory, by
doing all that, you're good for another one hundred thousand miles.
Speaker 10 (27:07):
It's cheaper than a new truck.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Absolutely, have you seen these things nowadays?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Good lord, I guess my other my question on that
is when they change the fluid the gear oils, they
just suck that They just suck that fluid out and
put all new fluid in them or how's that done?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Yes, that depends every year, making model a little bit different.
Some of them have some of them have a drain
drain plug. Some of them you have to take the
whole housing off the rear differential, but some of them
just have a just have a plug. You take it
out and you suck it out, and then you fill
it back up, and then you fill it up to
the point where it starts pouring out of that fill
fill hole, and then once it stops comes to a drip,
(27:48):
then you then you cap it and you refill it.
But every every every year is different. But and that
gear oil.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Stinks, It stinks to high heaven.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
But but I mean the things, the they'll last.
Speaker 10 (28:01):
Okay, So like I said, I'll take it to a
very reliable mechanic I've known for thirty years, so I'm
sure he'll know what to do.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Well.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
If you if you know, if he says something that that,
if he tells you something that I didn't, you call
me back and say, hey, his theory on that you know?
Because listen, I've been doing this for twenty five years.
But does that mean I know absolutely everything? Or do
I know somebody else's opinion? Right, I mean everybody's Sometimes
my opinion might be different than your mechanics' opinion. But
(28:32):
if he says something that doesn't jive with what I
told you, you call me back and let me know
and tell me not not to not not not as
like an aha moments, just no.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
I mean I want to hear. I want to hear.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
I want to get gained every bit of knowledge that
I possibly can about this industry and sometimes I mean
I had, you know, And that's what and that's why
I enjoy what I do. Is because you know, you
sit there and you go, you know, oh, d you
work on cars. Yeah, but every single year make model.
These cars are always evolving, They're always changing, the industry
(29:05):
is always changing, so there's always something to learn, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 10 (29:08):
And by that, you know, that's why. That's why I
called you, because I want to compare your opinion.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
All right, Well if he has if he says anything differently,
you call me. I want to hear his opinion. All right, Randy,
take care all right, Uh huh by bye, all right?
Uh taking your phone calls and I'm wanna call five one, three, seven, four,
nine fifty five hundred again. This this industry is always changing,
it's always evolving, so there's never a dull moment in
(29:35):
this industry. So I enjoy what I do, really do.
That's why I'm here every Saturday to take all of
your car questions. So all right, coming up, We've got Ben.
You're listening to the car show on fifty five kr C,
the talk station.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
You have a truck, camper, r V or trailer that
needs body repair. If so, call my buddy Dave Breakman
at Frank's Heavy Truck Collision Repair located just All five
seventy five or Route sixty three.

So then sometime you get in. It won't do anything.
It's just to start. It's bad. If I took it
to a mechanic heaven put a new starter on to
him and check to see what's it? A external? Uh?
What I want to say starter? Sollinoid? He said, no,
it's on that particular one. It's all built in. Where
should I start? Because new starter, new battery in August
(31:18):
goes today, won't crank, won't do nothing, just turns, you know,
like the starter ain't even kicking in. And it could
be a fuse because I wouldn't think, because.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Once a fuse blows, you're done and it doesn't come back.
God right done?
Speaker 6 (31:34):
So what no takes what days it wanted to turnover?
It takes what days? They don't want to turn over?
As always when it's blocking something.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
So you gotta You got a brand new starter and
a new battery.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
You said, new battery, new starter, big old slade battery.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Okay. And when you turn the ignition, there's nothing.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
You don't hear anything, there's no noises, nothing, power come on.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
The radio, the power.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
Yeah, so you've got power lights up on the dash.
Speaker 5 (32:03):
All right, So you turn the key and just nothing.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
No turnover, no turnover. Lights on the dash come on,
turn and hold a key on in the star position.
Blow the horn, horn blows good lights sign good. It's
I don't know if maybe it's in a column maybe.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
Man not not.
Speaker 6 (32:25):
I tried newt switched. Yeah, I tried moving the shifted
down to the new two switched. Play around back and
forth right in that area.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Yeah, so you put it you put it in neutral.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
Yeah, you put it in neutral and it still didn't
change anything.
Speaker 6 (32:40):
Yeah, and play with it up and down right in
that air, you know, to make sure it ain't the
neutral switched that you know.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Okay, Well, it sounds like you've covered a lot of
your bases. The starter, how how long ago was it replaced?
Speaker 5 (32:53):
August? Okay?
Speaker 6 (32:55):
And I had them put a new tune up and
brand new star on it because I had looked up
fun in there and I seen the old starter had
a slight crack on the celinoid. So I said, well,
I ain't got time to you know, yeah, I play
with that. Just put a new one on. Be done,
and it's been cranking fine, but now it's gone back
to that crank today. Wait two days later? Uh one
(33:17):
crank Wait another two day? Oh, fire right up?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Did you notice after he replaced the starter, did I mean,
how quickly did the problem come back?
Speaker 5 (33:27):
I mean he replaced the starter in August the problem
came back.
Speaker 6 (33:29):
Oh, the problem came back like a month later. I've
been moving it, cranking it up joyfully, like oh okay,
got rid of all them issues. Go there today, back
to the same mold.
Speaker 5 (33:41):
No start on the starter or do you remember? Do
you know what?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Did he put in a new one or remanufactured an aftermarket.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Won probably remanufactured most likely.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Yeah, do you he didn't mention the brand or anything
like that.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
No, he's close today. I was gonna call him Monday.
But it just was bothering me that I thought I
had this issue gone, and here we're back into that is.
I just thought, you know, maybe you had a suggestion,
was there a breaker or somethingwhere But the problem is
(34:18):
it's a fort chassis, but it's a Gremlin body, so
you know, it's not your basic whole setup, you know,
for it sends them to chassis and then they slaps
the body on it. So that's what I thought. It
was the external pillinoid start a silinoid, but I'm thinking, like,
where is that at he said, wasn't one on there?
What he said? He didn't see it's none on that one,
(34:41):
because I just knew that's what external sylinoid would do sometimes.
And they said some of them have two of them
on them.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
I haven't seen them with two on them. Most of
them just have one.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
I mean, okay, you know, I.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Mean to be honest with you, I mean nine at
a ten times, nine out of ten times, unless you've
got some type of you know, ignition. You know, could
be a bad ignition switch or something like that, or
you know, it could be.
Speaker 6 (35:12):
Well, if you've got a bad ANISI switch. If you
turn it on to the lights on the dash and
get out of there with that old school driver symptom,
shouldn't it turn over?
Speaker 3 (35:22):
No?
Speaker 6 (35:23):
I mean yeah, I mean but it won't start. Yeah,
I didn't do it this round. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
The symptoms, Yeah, the symptoms that you're having experiencing today
are they exactly the same that they were before the
starter was replaced?
Speaker 6 (35:39):
Correct? Correct, and for a whole month, no issue. Go
crank it, move it out of my way, you know.
And it's such a big truck even when it starts,
even if it start now, I would be nervous to
take it anywhere. Well, I mean I forget it just
told you know, to get it told would just be Have.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
You checked all of your connections at the battery.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Make sure the battery connections of the negative pot of
positive are tight.
Speaker 5 (36:05):
Maybe check those.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Make sure that that yep, make sure that that ground
wires is tight and clean as well to the body
of the car. And then also make sure that the
the the connection at the starter is a good connection,
because I'm thinking, either you've got a bad connection at
the battery or or the ground or at the starter,
(36:30):
or the starter that he put in there is defective.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
I really do believe me.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
I had a car one time we had to put
I think it was four or five I think it.
Speaker 5 (36:39):
Was four, I think four, four or five Altnators on
this one super U before we got a good one.
I mean, right out of the box. We put them
in cars.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Not working, car won't it's not charging, it's not charging.
I'm like, listen, something's going on, because there's no way.
I'm like, we got a bigger problem. No, it just
took us five, five Altnators to get one right. And
I've had starters right out of the lox bad so
I mean before you off.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
So now I don't know where he went. I was
already told one distribution place to stay away from because
people always complained about they're just not good. So I
know I'm not gonna name no names, but I always
go to one that starts with a O and got
a K in it and get them there because I
never really had issues about.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Yeah, you know, yeah, check check your connections at the
battery and the starter. I think you just got possibly
a defective starter or just a bad, bad connection. So
I'm sorry to cut you off short, but thanks for
the call. Call me next week for the follow up.
So again, thank you everybody for calling. I'll be back
next Saturday to answer all of your car questions again.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
