HR3 Drive Radio December 21, 2024 by John Rush
SPEAKER 25 :
It’s a mighty fancy automobile. Oh, she’s a real road king, all right. Zero to 60 in 7.5. She’ll do a quarter of a mile, 13.40. 390 horsepower, 500 foot-pounds of torque. Whatever that is. Performance and image, that’s what it’s all about.
SPEAKER 18 :
There’s no such thing as a stupid question. This is Drive Radio. All of your automotive questions are just one phone call away. 303-477-5600. Drive Radio is made possible by the member shops of Colorado Select Auto Care Centers. To find one near you, go to drive-radio.com. Now, Drive Radio on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right, we are back. Drive Radio, KLZ 560. Somebody asking also, can they listen to us? Off air, in other words, not through the radio and through our app and so on or on the computer. Yes, you can do it one of two ways. You can just go to klzradio.com and listen live by just clicking the little button there if you’re using your computer. Or you can use our app, KLZ Radio. Now, we’ve had some issues in the past where some of you may have had the app, downloaded it, and it stopped working. If that’s the case, delete the app. reinstall it, and you should be good to go. We’ve had a few people that had a few little minor issues with I don’t know what changes in the app from time to time, updates and so on, and it maybe doesn’t quite come through correctly. So if you’ve had trouble listening to us on the app, just delete the app, reinstall it. That’s whether it’s Android or Apple. It doesn’t make any difference. Delete it, reinstall it, and you should be good to go. So you can listen to us literally anywhere there’s an Internet connection or you’ve got data connection on the app that way. And you can also go to TuneIn. So some of you that have Sonos and want to listen through your Sonos system, you can also use the TuneIn app as well that way. Or you could use TuneIn on your phone also. But if you’re on the phone, you should be able to use our KLZ app and be just fine. But, yeah, thank you, Charlie. TuneIn also works as well. John and Cheyenne, what’s going on?
SPEAKER 16 :
Hey, John. Just with what you said, at this time of the year, about 430, I have to switch over from the radio to the app when I’m home. because you guys have to power down when the sun goes down and i it goes to static but the app works great so not just not there there’s your uh free uh yeah i never have a problem so here’s here’s i i got a quick question um you you and richard did that review on monday i heard it and then i just heard it a little while ago what’s the ground clearance on that new land cruiser
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, I’d have to look up the specs. Pretty high, actually. I mean, they built that car more for people wanting to go off-roading and do things like that than even what the old Land Cruiser was, of course, because of the total redesign of it.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, so you’re saying it’s at least as high as my 4Runner?
SPEAKER 03 :
I would say maybe even higher.
SPEAKER 16 :
Perfect. That’s what I need to know. And then, second question. Do you know, I know you like… Do they make an off-road package?
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s almost nine inches on the new Land Cruiser. And again, that would be probably stock, not doing upgraded tires, things like that, John, of course. So just stock, it’s close to nine inches.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay. Second question. Do you know if Toyota makes the Sequoia in like an off-road package?
SPEAKER 03 :
Do they make a TRD unit of it? Yes.
SPEAKER 16 :
And does that have a higher ground clearance than the other one? I’d have to look it up.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, they put bigger tires on it. They change the running boards on the side. It’s got some roof rack additions and things like that. But, yeah, they make a Sequoia TRD that is – and we’ve driven one. We’ve test-driven one. And, yes, it’s got all of those off-road features, I should say.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, because, you know, where I live, I need high ground clearance. Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
I wasn’t a huge fan of the old Sequoia because it was just getting long in the tooth and the fuel economy wasn’t great. It was under-braked and so on. The new one, they fixed all of those things, and the new hybrid version of the Sequoia works extremely well.
SPEAKER 16 :
So the hybrid works. It’s an electric powertrain. and the motor is just to continually charge the batteries or keep the batteries charged. Am I right on that?
SPEAKER 03 :
Or if they’re getting down, you’re running off the engine. Mm-hmm. Right, but is, so my question then is. They keep enough charge in the battery to help you in a, you know, wide open throttle situation, something along those lines, John. But otherwise, you’re just cruising down the road and the battery is below the spec it wants to be at. It will not use the battery to propel you. It’ll be using the engine.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, okay. So, and then, okay. I never fully understood how the hybrid worked.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s a good system, actually. Toyota’s got the best of all because they started with the Prius, you know, back in the day. And then the truck version is a little different than the Priuses in how it’s designed and so on, but the principle is the same.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, because my wife, my red truck’s getting a little long in the tooth, and when we have to get another vehicle, we’re looking at an SUV with either a high ground clearance but something with a third row. And right now it sounds like it’s either the Sequoia or going to Tahoe or Suburban because they have a high ground clearance package too.
SPEAKER 03 :
They’re very similar, even in size. The Sequoia is getting large enough now to where it’s, I don’t know, I’d have to look at all of the exterior specs to see, dimensionally speaking, how close to the Tahoe is it. But just in looks and feel and so on, there doesn’t seem like there’s much difference there at all.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, and, you know, this is the first Toyota I’ve owned that I have. This is probably the best vehicle I ever owned. I hate to say that about all my Rams previously, but this Toyota 4Runner is a great vehicle.
SPEAKER 03 :
They are. No, there’s nothing wrong with them at all. I’ve had numerous friends, clients, so on, buy them. They work solid. Again, my biggest complaints with the previous generation of 4Runner, those are going to change this spring, but my biggest complaint is power fuel economy. Lack of.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, you’re getting 18 miles to the gallon on the highway, 17, 16 and a half around town.
SPEAKER 03 :
And that’s if you’re really nice to it. Most guys are getting 15 around town. You’re nice.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah. Well, most of my drive is interstate or unimproved goat path.
SPEAKER 03 :
And a lot of that, again, John, has to do with, you know, where do you live, the hills and so on, and how much is your foot in and so on. I’ll tell you right now, most of the folks around the Denver metro area, if they were getting 16 miles to the gallon, I’ll be shocked. Most of them are 14, 15 miles a gallon.
SPEAKER 05 :
Most of my customers.
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m looking down, and since the last fill-up, I’m at 16.9, and I’m doing 80 miles an hour right now.
SPEAKER 03 :
You’re doing very well. Most won’t do that.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right, John, that was the other thing. I drove down to Fort Collins, and I’m heading home now. In the trip between Wellington and Cheyenne, there were three cars pulled over this morning. Two in Colorado, north of Wellington, and one in Wyoming, south of Cheyenne. The troopers are out in force, so be careful and don’t super speed.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, it’s that time of the year where they’re realizing people are traveling, and if they can generate a little extra revenue, and sorry, that’s all they’re doing. I know they would argue with me and say they’re trying to keep the roads safe, but I would argue that.
SPEAKER 16 :
But, yeah, if you’re going north of Wellington, just… don’t give them a reason to pull you over because they’re out here.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yep. I mean, that includes everything from, you know, John, as you know, any kind of lights that are out, abrupt lane changes, expired registrations, on and on we go.
SPEAKER 16 :
Right. But if you’re speeding, they’ll grab you, and then they’ll look for anything else at the same time.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and I don’t know where their threshold is up there on speeding. My gut feeling is if you get above 80, you’re probably in the red zone.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, I would say so, too. John, you and Ken and everybody else in the studio, have a Merry Christmas.
SPEAKER 03 :
Thank you, John. Appreciate you very much. All right, we’ll come back. We’ve got more to cover. Lines are open, 303-477-5600. Drive Radio, KLZ 560.

SPEAKER 03 :
All right, we are back. Drive Radio, KLZ 560. Charlie Grimes, of course, our engineer. Larry Unger answering phones today. Ken Rackley from Toontech Automotive with us. And Mark Guernsey from Accountable Auto Care up in Broomfield as well. And speaking of police and being pulled over and ticket revenue and so on, Charlie sent me an article earlier in the week that I wanted to talk about today. And this is that, especially in Boulder… They are picking out vehicles that have side window tint that they feel is too dark. They’re pulling you over using their little meter on it, and if it doesn’t meet specs, you’re getting a ticket.
SPEAKER 07 :
They haven’t enforced that much in the last 20, 30 years.
SPEAKER 03 :
They are now. And I also know that Lafayette, I don’t know about Louisville, but I can tell you Lafayette will do the same thing. So that’s kind of up in that whole Boulder Valley area. And why they’re picking on this, I don’t know, folks. I can’t answer that. I don’t know, really.
SPEAKER 07 :
Kind of hard to say. I mean, as a police officer, it’s always concerning walking up when you can’t see through a window. Right, exactly. I don’t know why else. Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
And, you know, what I’ve been seeing a lot recently, too, well, recently, the past few years, I guess, is tinted windshields. Right.
SPEAKER 07 :
I thought that was illegal.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, and I’m reading articles. So you can you have to transmit at least 70 percent of the light through the windshield, 27 percent of the light through the other windows. By the way, other windows meaning this article is wrong. The two front side windows because every other window makes no difference. You could cardboard them up if you wanted to. There’s no law against all of the other SUV, for example. The two front windows have to be at that figure I just gave. Every other window you could literally black out completely and they can’t say a thing about it. It’s like a cargo van at that point, which are not illegal. either so yeah so evidently uh again they’re testing the reading the article they’re testing windows with a tint meter call a calibration strip the tint on your windows can be no more than than two percent of the 27 or 70 law requirement The machine reads the numbers after being placed on the window. And if you have never seen one of those devices, they literally just – I don’t know how they test a front windshield because this literally goes over. They roll the window down a little bit, and they slip this over the top, and it sees how much passes through. I have no idea how they are testing the front. My gut feeling is they can look at it. And, by the way, the front tint that lets that 70% come through – You honestly, with the naked eye, if you’re not feeling the edge inside, you wouldn’t know it’s tinted. They’d never know the difference. So that one is usually not an issue. But if you’ve got dark tint on the front window and they can see it, you’re probably going to have an issue. And again, this is bolder, but like anything else… They talk, and if one tells the other that, hey, guess how much revenue we generated last month off of XYZ? Trust me, coming to a town near you. That’s my point.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, back in 2003, I got a ticket for the windows being too dark. I mean, I didn’t feel they were – I mean, they were no darker than the ones I have been running for years, and I didn’t take the tent off. I just paid the ticket. And I’m not saying that’s a good thing, but, I mean – Non-tinted windows on the side are kind of tough to drive in our sunlight.
SPEAKER 03 :
I think it is. I like having them tinted.
SPEAKER 06 :
I don’t like for them to be illegal, but I don’t know. I guess they just were.
SPEAKER 03 :
You have to meet the specs that we just gave you. Something that surprises me.
SPEAKER 07 :
is they don’t focus on all these license plate covers to skip toll road fees and pictures. You’d think they’d go after that a little bit more than tinted windows. Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Just a thought. And that was the only reason he pulled me over. What was that? Because of the tinted windows. Crazy. And it was New Year’s Eve.
SPEAKER 03 :
Primary offense. That’s nuts. There you go. Jeff, you’re up.
SPEAKER 14 :
Weld County, go ahead. Hey, John, I just had a quick question. I’ve got a 24 GMC Sierra with that 6.6 gas in it. When should I be looking at mileage-wise for doing an induction system cleaning on that?
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s direct injection, right? Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. How many miles are on it now, Jeff?
SPEAKER 14 :
I’ve only got 15 on it right now. 15,000.
SPEAKER 03 :
And this is a broad question because really it comes down to are you using EPR? Are you changing oil properly at every 4,000? Are you running high-grade gas? I mean, that has as much to do with it as anything. And highway driving versus stop-and-go?
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, everything except the high-grade gas. You know, I run Costco top-tier gas, but just their— They’re regular mid-grade gas. But, yeah, I do use EPR, and the oil goes anywhere between 3,000 and 4,000 miles of change.
SPEAKER 03 :
I would say 20,000, 24,000 every other year, roughly, Jeff, is what I would be doing. Given what you’re doing maintenance-wise on it, I think you’d be safe with that.
SPEAKER 1 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 14 :
Okay, very good.
SPEAKER 03 :
And then, as you know, run some 44K in at every oil change and some of that and you’d be fine.
SPEAKER 14 :
That gets that a couple of times a month, actually.
SPEAKER 03 :
Nice. In your case, I mean, honestly, at 24K, they can look at it. They can pull and look at the throttle body and just see how things are starting to look on that end of things. Not that that’s a huge indicator on a direct injection engine, but… you can kind of tell what’s going on and how much residual is inside of it. And I can’t think of the word. I’m sorry. I’ve got a word in my head that I’m – blow-by. You can see kind of how much blow-by is coming back up through the intake and so on. And at 24,000, you’re probably not going to have much. But those are things they could look at at that mark, and that’s what I would be doing. Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Are you going through any oil consumption-wise during changes?
SPEAKER 14 :
You know, this thing, I’ve heard a lot of stories about them going through oil. This thing has not used a drop of oil since I’ve owned it. Awesome. Yeah. Good.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, that helps, too. I mean, it helps keep the ash down on the inside of the cylinder. So, yeah.
SPEAKER 14 :
All right, guys.
SPEAKER 03 :
Very good. Jeff, thanks. Appreciate it very much. All right, question just came in. Eric, if you’re listening, let me know that you hear this from the email coming in. Otherwise, I’ll answer this back after the show. Is it possible for a 2004 4Runner engine to still be hot to the touch? and the engine compartment warm after it’s been sitting outside for 24 hours, supposedly not started or driven during that time. No, it is not possible for that to be hot that long after. In fact, I would go as far as to say that as far as being hot to the touch, three hours or so. Yeah, three to four at the most. You’re not gonna feel much. I mean, you might be lukewarm at three, even at two, you’re gonna notice a little bit of heat. But let me say this. That’s even in the summertime. Yeah, if you touch the hood and you can feel heat, it’s been driven probably in the last 30 minutes or so.
SPEAKER 07 :
Do you have a teenager? Wife, whatever.
SPEAKER 03 :
I don’t know what you’re looking for here, but at the end of the day, I can tell you that no, 24 hours later, it ain’t going to be hot at all. I think it will be stone cold. Yes, exactly. I don’t care if it’s summertime, wintertime, what it is. It is stone cold. Again, being that the three of us especially and Larry included, so four of us have worked in the industry, worked on engines and so on, you would purposely at times, if something came in super hot, you were going to do spark plugs or whatever, you’d let that thing cool in the parking lot for a couple of hours before pulling it in and trying to do anything and just telling you at that after a couple of hours, it’s pop the hood, get the heat going, get the heat coming out and so on. And within a couple of hours, you’re able to do some things that you wouldn’t have done two hours earlier. So 24 hours later, yeah, no, they’re stone cold. Yeah, exactly. In fact, depending upon where you’re at in the country and the time and the temperature and so on, even doing oil changes after sitting 24 hours, in some cases you want to let it warm up a little bit prior to even changing oil to get things flowing a little better so the oil change will even go a little bit faster because they’ll be really cold at that point in time. So even with us getting down into the 30s at night, yeah, you’re going to be super cold. Yeah. Yeah. And if you heard that, please let me know. Otherwise, I’ll respond to your email. Chris, you’re up next. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 09 :
Hey, Ken and John. It’s Chris. Hey, Chris. How’s it going? 07, I got another question regarding my transmission with a real tight vibration.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. And this is on the Avalanche?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, on the Avalanche. It’s really bothering me, and I plan on taking another ski trip this coming winter.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 09 :
Is it, I mean, I need someone to drive with me or have them drive it. And some, you know, shops don’t want to go out on 470 and, you know, spend the time to really feel what’s going on.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
Do you know, I mean, Kim, you know, I’ve had it worked on at Steve’s, and I know, Ken, you’ve worked on it. Uh-huh. Is it possible to say, hey, I need to go for a drive and have you guys feel this? Because it’s not fixed.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. And, yeah, I mean, that’s definitely possible.
SPEAKER 03 :
Is it getting worse, Chris? Has it changed, or is it pretty much the same?
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, no. No, it’s the same. Okay. And it gets, you know, from 72 on up to 80. You know, I even had a passenger the other day, and he said, man, you need to rotate your tires, balance your tires. And I go, no, it’s the tranny. So, I mean, and then what transmission shop, you know, would be able to help me diagnose this?
SPEAKER 06 :
Right. I mean, the biggest problem with that, Chris, is even if you feel something at that speed… trying to figure out where it’s at.
SPEAKER 03 :
So a couple questions on mine. I don’t know if I’ve asked you this before, so if I have, sorry, I’ll ask it again anyways. You’re driving at speed. You can feel the vibration. Does it change on-off throttle? Does it change if you throw it into neutral? Does anything make any difference at that point?
SPEAKER 09 :
I’ve never tried throwing it into neutral, but I go to the mountains a lot, and it’s the same vibration whether I’m in overdrive or third gear, being at 3,300 RPMs versus…
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, so it’s not an engine. You’re dialing it down to where it’s, you know. Again, next thing I would do personally, if I was driving with you even, if I was driving the car and I felt it, I’d be going that speed, feeling the vibration. I’d put it neutral and see if anything changes. By doing so, we’re taking all the load off the transmission. Not eliminating it, but in a way kind of are. We’re slowing the speed of everything. The only thing really at that point that we’re really loading is the output shaft that’s going to be spinning with the drive shaft, Chris. Yeah, I mean, it’s possible that there’s a bushing that’s beyond specs or something along those lines that’s making the drivetrain vibrate. But personally, if I was driving it, that’s what I would do.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, if you pop it into neutral, it’s still there, probably not the transmission.
SPEAKER 03 :
Probably not.
SPEAKER 09 :
Again, it happened. I mean, I felt it instantly after I wrapped it, getting onto the highway where I wrapped it out. I had a very high RPM and immediately felt it, and it hasn’t changed for months now. And I just didn’t want to go for a 35, 40. 3,500-mile trip.
SPEAKER 03 :
And you’re going to have to refresh my memory because I don’t remember what all Steve and Ken have done or looked at. Have we done U-joints or anything along those lines? Have we popped the rear cover on the differential and looked inside? Have we done any of that at this point?
SPEAKER 09 :
No, but Steve, those guys thought that it was the U-joints, and they changed it, and it did not change at all.
SPEAKER 03 :
By the way, that would be one of the first things I would do just to eliminate it with mileage and so on, so that’s not a bad thing to do. My next thing, again, I would drive it, do what I just said, and if that vibration still is there, nothing changes by putting it in neutral. Next thing I personally would be doing is I’d pop the rear cover. I want to look at the diff.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, well, like I said, it’s real tight, and you can feel it in the seat.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, I get it. Given the fact that we did four-wheel drive work mainly for 30-plus years, run into numerous ones of these where vibrations are there, and they’re very hard. to get rid of, and you have a lot of tenacity to actually keep working on it. But I have seen also over the years situations where a slight wearing out of the pinion bearings, for example, or even some carrier bearings, or I’ve even seen, Chris, the pattern on the diff being off some, or the positive traction unit, if it has one, being a problem, things along those lines.
SPEAKER 09 :
Sure. All right, because, I mean, again, it’s 07. It’s getting older.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right.
SPEAKER 09 :
I sure like the looks.
SPEAKER 03 :
The other thing, too, that can happen when you pop the cover and look inside is, number one, look at wear pattern on the ring and pinion. You can’t really tell how the bearings are doing other than looking at the metal that would be down in the fluid as we’re draining all that out. You can look in there and see that. You can look at some things on the— the um uh you know side bearings and so on and kind of get a little bit of an idea of what’s going on in regards to that and of course the other thing that we’d want to look at at the same time is you know wheel bearings on the back because that’s a c-clip rear axle as well well i mean again do shops you know go for a drive on the highway and really feel what i’m feeling
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, we sure can. It’s just trying to, you know, kind of like John was saying, trying to pinpoint that, you know, put it in neutral, take the load off, things along those lines.
SPEAKER 03 :
And really quick, Chris, given that you’re the one feeling it the most and you’re driving it, I, if I were you, would do a little bit more investigative work on your side that you can then relay back into either Ken or Steve at Geno’s and then go from there.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. And it’s the half-ton, right? It’s not the three-quarter ton?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes. Yeah. So it’s a C-clip 10-bolt rear. Yeah. Which, again, probably the weakest link on that truck and is on a lot of half-ton Chevys especially is the 10-bolt rear end isn’t heavy enough for – it’s not heavy enough for that Avalanche, truthfully. Anyway, that was one of the weak links in that truck from the get-go.
SPEAKER 1 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
I’m really liking that new GMC 25. They’re nice. You should probably get one.
SPEAKER 03 :
They’re nice. Probably buy two.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
They’re very nice. I mean, really quick, Chris, just interior-wise, that compared to what you have now, there’s no comparison. Right.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, there’s none. I know. Oh, I know.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
How about the Toyota Tundra?
SPEAKER 03 :
The Tundra’s nice. My issue with the Tundra, personally, is it’s so big inside in the front seat that unless you’re about 6’2 with long arms, you can’t even reach all the controls on the dash and things because of how far away literally everything is from you. That’s my complaint with a Tundra, Chris, personally. I’m 5’10”, don’t have average build, average arms, and so on. It’s a stretch to get some things done that on any other vehicle you just reach out and push and you’re done. Hmm. all right that’s me you know taking taking you know in the next year or so maybe getting a new truck but sure um well and i would go a couple of steps further on the truck you’re driving now just to kind of isolate you know where are we out on things before you do anything else yeah and okay i’ll throw it into neutral yeah try that and yeah see if it if it doesn’t change then because you’ve done tires and all the rest of the stuff all the way through right
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got brand new BlizzX on.
SPEAKER 03 :
That’s what I thought, because you’ve already been down the path on all that. That was our first thing we did, right?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yep. Well, no, I’ve had, you know, but no, I keep it in shape.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right. That’s what I thought. And I know you. Yeah, I get it. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. Don’t want to get rid of it. Well, I don’t really want to, but… This might drive you there. This new truck would be nice. Well, true.
SPEAKER 03 :
And by the way, somebody else would drive it and drive the wheels off it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, right.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, yeah. It only has 150,000 miles.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, they keep driving it. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s what I’ll try. I just don’t want to break down in the middle of Montana.

SPEAKER 10 :
Hey, guys. Good afternoon and Merry Christmas.
SPEAKER 03 :
Hey, same to you, Stuart. Thank you, sir.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, I was listening to the previous call. Chris, was that his name?
SPEAKER 03 :
Chris, yes.
SPEAKER 10 :
With the vibration and the avalanche. I have an 09 Hyundai Santa Fe, and it’s nine passenger, and it’s the bigger V8. I have always had the same… similar vibration with the vehicle and it’s at high speed um and it doesn’t matter i’ve had i like i said i have 268 000 on it i believe so but and i always i’ve always been religious and changing my fluids uh gino’s always worked on the car when i lived down in littleton but now i use a guy named uh dave scott up here in gearworks automotive uh who’s very good mechanic as well. Let’s give him a little plug. And Loveland is off eighth. But anyway, I have this vibration. Do you think it could be in the transmitter? I’ve never heard anybody going down the highway, though, at 80 miles an hour and throwing it into neutral.
SPEAKER 03 :
You have to be very careful, but it’s doable.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, I know.
SPEAKER 06 :
Something goes haywire, you’re in big trouble. You don’t want to hit reverse. That’s right. Exactly.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, you don’t want to. Things go bad really quick.
SPEAKER 03 :
That avalanche is easy. Yeah. You know, because it’s, you know, shifter up on the column and so on. That one’s a piece of cake. And to go to reverse, you’ve got to pull the lever back. And that one’s pretty easy to go from drive to neutral in. Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, well, my Santa Fe, probably I could do it. I mean, it’s. But you think it could be in the transmission? Because I had a guy mention it. Stan’s Auto up here, when I used to go to their shop, they mentioned the vibration. And I never heard of it before. I thought maybe it was just idiosyncratic with my car. Because I’ve gone through various tires, like everything from Cooper to Hankook, Toyo to Falcon, which I have on now. And they, you know, it doesn’t matter.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
And alignments, Steve at Geno’s with his good alignment machine, he aligned it. And, yeah, I mean, it’s. I’ve always had it. So you think it could be in the transmission?
SPEAKER 03 :
Possible.
SPEAKER 10 :
I mean, yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Torque converters can vibrate. Drive train through the transmission itself can vibrate. I mean, it’s a mechanical item.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, wheel bearings, U-joints, all the things.
SPEAKER 06 :
You got it, Mark. Motor mounts, just angle changes.
SPEAKER 07 :
I do want to say that one big misconception, an alignment does not cause a vibration ever. Right. Right. I mean, long-term, it can wear the tires funny, and then they can start to shake and bounce, but alignments are never a vibration fix.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay. Just balancing tires is tough.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, certainly.
SPEAKER 03 :
That’s the biggest factor. Even a bad tire will vibrate no matter how much you balance it. Yes. Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Correct. Well, I might try that, and then the next best thing, I guess, is get Dave in the car and go down the highway with me.
SPEAKER 03 :
Sure.
SPEAKER 10 :
There you go. Thanks. But, um, anyway, I enjoy your guys show and, uh, about new cars. The best thing about buying a new car is make sure that, uh, your garage is big enough to fit.
SPEAKER 03 :
Ah, good one. Otherwise you just buy a bigger garage. Man, after my own heart.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. And, uh, yeah. And I’ll soar in there. He’s got one of these little cars now. So, um, I saw him driving. It’s one of those little Pontiac convertibles. I forget what they even call them.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, yeah, he’s got a Solstice.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, yeah, that’s what he’s got.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yep, yep.
SPEAKER 10 :
So anyway, I’ll probably see him tomorrow.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right, well, tell him hi for us.
SPEAKER 10 :
I will.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right, Stuart, thank you very much. Have a great rest of your weekend and holidays as well. Chris in Colorado Springs, go ahead.
SPEAKER 11 :
Hey, I’ve got a 92 Chevy truck, it’s four-wheel drive, and I’m getting tired of changing the CV shafts in the front of it because the neoprene boots tear. There’s nothing wrong with the shaft itself, but I see some places where you can get thermoplastic boots. Are those better than these junk neoprene ones?
SPEAKER 06 :
You know, we really don’t have a lot of… I’ve never used them, so that’s you guys’ call. Have you tried different brands of axles?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, but they all have the neoprene boots on them. I want to find some that have the thermoplastic boots on them because they say they last a lot longer.
SPEAKER 07 :
How long are the neoprenes lasting for you?
SPEAKER 11 :
Not very long.
SPEAKER 07 :
Not even 100,000?
SPEAKER 11 :
Not even. They’re probably lasting… 30,000 maybe?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, that’s not enough. No.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. I don’t have any experience with the thermoplastic or anything, and we just really didn’t have a lot of issues with those boots breaking normally.
SPEAKER 03 :
Not on that truck. I mean, yeah. Has it got an oil leak or anything on it, Chris?
SPEAKER 11 :
No. I take care of this truck. Well, put it this way. It’s got 630,000 miles on it. I changed the oil.
SPEAKER 07 :
Congratulations.
SPEAKER 03 :
That’s awesome. And is it an inside boot that’s always bad, outside boot? Which one’s going bad mostly?
SPEAKER 11 :
Usually it’s the outside boot.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. Yeah. And it’s stock. It’s not lifted. It’s not nothing else.
SPEAKER 03 :
Wheel bearings are all good. You don’t have any weirdness there, anything strange? No. Okay.
SPEAKER 11 :
No. No. Well, I worked on heavy equipment for a long time, so I kind of know what’s going on there.
SPEAKER 03 :
That is strange, Chris. I mean, again, I worked on a lot of those trucks back in the day. That is not a common problem.
SPEAKER 06 :
And it was just rare that, I mean, you’d see them broken open usually, or every now and then, but it’s usually because of a rock or something hit them, you know, something caused it. Yeah, they typically wouldn’t just open up.
SPEAKER 11 :
Is there anything that I can put on those boots to keep them soft? Because, you know, I live up here in the high desert, and it just seems like they dry out and they tear all the time.
SPEAKER 07 :
Not really. Yeah. Nothing’s going to stay with it. Right.
SPEAKER 03 :
Anything you put on is going to come off.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Silicone, WD-40, whatever, it’s all going to come off with water.
SPEAKER 11 :
Right.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right.
SPEAKER 11 :
So you guys haven’t heard anything about that thermoplastic?
SPEAKER 03 :
And even back in the day, Chris, in the shops, I never used them.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Most techs don’t like them because they’re a booger to mess with.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. Just taking U-joints.
SPEAKER 03 :
Most guys don’t use them because of that.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. Well, I was just checking.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, good question. No, thank you, Chris. Couldn’t hurt to try.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, at this point.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right, Mark, Buck, you guys hang tight. We’ll come right back. Drive Radio, KLZ 560.

You listen to Drive Radio because you have a lot of questions about your car. You have questions about what kind of oil to use, what the best tires are, where to get the best parts. But have you ever asked what will happen to your car after you die? Did you know that if you don’t have a will that specifically states what will happen, a probate judge will order your family to split your car evenly. And because you can’t cut up a car into pieces, your family will be forced to sell it and just split the money. According to Michael Bailey, the mobile estate planner, it is estimated that two out of three people don’t have a proper will in place. And oftentimes, things like your favorite classic car are accidentally forgotten completely. Michael understands that the only way to be absolutely certain that all of your final wishes will be honored is to take a small amount of time to talk about it. 720-394-6887. 720-394-6887.

SPEAKER 03 :
All right. Drive Radio, KLZ 560. Last segment, I should say. Not episode, but segment. Mark and Wiggins, you’re next.
SPEAKER 15 :
Hey, good afternoon, guys. Good afternoon, Mark. I wanted to call in and ask a question about something I think you’ve gotten experience with, John. So my wife has an SUV. She likes it. It has adaptive cruise control, which we really like for the longer trips.
SPEAKER 04 :
Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 15 :
And so I think I remember you saying that you have a Chevy Bolt that has Super Cruise on it.
SPEAKER 03 :
I traded that car off not long ago, but the Bolt had mine had Super Cruise, yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
How often did you use that feature?
SPEAKER 03 :
I used it quite a bit. My wife can’t – I don’t know. She doesn’t trust it, so she won’t use it or didn’t use it. So it wasn’t as enticing to her. But I would use it quite often, Mark. It works well. Now, I will say this, and for all of you out there listening, the SuperGrid system doesn’t work too bad. I will say this. It’s not as good as Ford systems. Ford systems seems to be smoother and just operationally better. Not saying that, you know, Super Cruise has any problems or isn’t any good to use. But I will tell you, Mark, that Ford system works better.
SPEAKER 15 :
Smoother. That’s always a plus when you’re not the one in charge, I guess. I mean, I’ve always been a manual transmission kind of person. I enjoy manual transmissions. Automatics are okay, too. When you’re doing long trips or even stop-and-go, sometimes a manual can get a little tedious. But I thought, you know, Super Cruise, that sounds pretty sweet or something comparable. But we’re thinking about trading her car in the next year or two, and I thought, Maybe we could look into something like that if it’s something that’s, like you said, smooth and could be used functionally and comfortably. But if it’s herky-jerky, I don’t know if I would want to use it.
SPEAKER 03 :
You get out on the open road, they work very well. In town, they can be a little herky-jerky depending upon the lines in the road and what they’re looking at and so on. And all the systems are a little bit that way. Out on the open road, the majority of them work well. Really well, Mark. And all of them are getting better and are becoming more robust and can be used in more places. The early supercruise systems were very limited on the roads they would even activate on. That’s gotten much better.
SPEAKER 15 :
Awesome. I have one other question. Sure, go ahead. So I know that Colorado had legislated, you know, having, you know, a tire depth of, you know, like 330 seconds of an inch for, you know, up I-70 or whatever. But when I was in high school working at a tire shop, they always told me that, you know, 630 seconds or 50% is the bare minimum. But we also lived up in the mountains, so I was wondering, you know, it – I don’t like extra laws, but doesn’t it make sense for people to realize that that’s the legal limit, but that should not be a personal limit as far as tire tread depth.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’ve said it on this program many a time. In my opinion, winter tires, if you’re going to go up and do anything in actual snow driving and so on, you need at least 50% tread. If you start falling below that, you need to go ahead and Put tires on if you want to save the old ones and run them for the summer. Fine, so be it. But, yeah, I would be putting tires on that start falling below 50% if you do a lot of mountain winter, you know, snow-type driving, Mark. And you’re never going to get a law to do that. We’re lucky to have the law we have as far as that goes. And, frankly, common sense should tell you that this is the way this is. It’s unfortunate we have to have laws to tell people how to have common sense.
SPEAKER 1 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right, yeah. It seems like we’re headed towards needing laws for common sense.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s so ridiculous, Mark. People just don’t have a brain anymore.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right, yeah. But, you know, years ago, you know, I haven’t had the space to be able to do, like, you’re talking about the dual tire wheel setup. But night and day difference when you do get the winter tires on in the winter temperatures and even a little bit of snow. You know, I drove a vehicle that was high performance in the sense that didn’t slip one bit if I wasn’t trying. If you just drove it correctly, it stuck like glue. Even if you got under some patchy ice, even if you babied it, you could still get some decent grip. Maybe not perfect, but enough to keep it under control for sure.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 15 :
Great show, guys.
SPEAKER 03 :
Thank you, Mark, as always. I appreciate it. Buck, you’ll probably be our last caller. How are you, Buck?
SPEAKER 12 :
I’m well. A couple things. First of all, on your Fix It Radio, I’m in that older group, and I really appreciate what you talked about this morning.
SPEAKER 03 :
Thank you.
SPEAKER 12 :
And I hope people take that to heart. Some of us are fortunate to be looking at the top of the daisies instead of pushing them up for a little bit longer, but it makes the world a little bit harder to navigate.
SPEAKER 03 :
I hear you. Thank you for that, Buck.
SPEAKER 12 :
And I want to wish you guys a merry, happy Christmas or happy holidays, happy Hanukkah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Christmas works for us. We’re good with that. That’s right.
SPEAKER 12 :
I think you guys do a great service down there, and I hope you have a prosperous New Year so I can continue to waste my Saturday mornings for at least the next year or two.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, Buck, we appreciate you. You and all the other listeners we have as well. You guys make this worthwhile, so thank you.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, well, I can say Merry Christmas.
SPEAKER 03 :
Merry Christmas to you, Buck.
SPEAKER 12 :
And Happy New Year.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right, sir. Appreciate you.
SPEAKER 12 :
With that, I’ll get off.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, man. Appreciate you very much. And, yeah, that’s for everybody else as well. We literally, yeah, we do this to, you know, not only educate and help the motoring public and, you know, these guys that are here that, you know, help promote the program. Yeah, they want your business, and they’re here to help you with all of that as well. Yeah, really, at the end of the day, we’re all here because of you. We’re not here for ourselves. Trust me. On a day like today, where it’s as beautiful as it is outside here in the middle of winter, yeah, these guys would love to be doing other things. But they’re here literally because they want to help you all out, the motoring public and folks that are listening, and try to make things safer and more longevity out of the cars that you’re driving and everything. literally trying to teach people how all this stuff works. So, Mark, you especially, thanks for coming down. Appreciate it very much. Thank you. Countable Auto Care and Ken Rackley as well, thank you also. And Ken’s been doing this for a very long time out in Aurora, and thank you as well, Ken.
