Menu
In this episode of Drive Radio, we delve into the thrilling world of automobiles with a focus on performance and innovation. From high-speed specifications to detailed insights into BYD’s unique vehicles, our hosts explore how an SUV can float on water and perform a tank turn. We also discuss the upcoming changes to Drive Radio, introducing a new segment dedicated to in-depth interviews and reviews, perfect for automobile enthusiasts eager to learn more. Listeners are taken on a troubleshooting journey as we answer callers’ questions about maintaining classic cars. Whether it’s a 94 Ford F-150 showing signs of wear
SPEAKER 04 :
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.
SPEAKER 20 :
Whatever that is. Performance and image, that’s what it’s all about.
SPEAKER 13 :
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 05 :
And it is Drive Radio, third hour. Myself, Patch Knight, Alltech Automotive in Fort Collins. Charlie Grimes, of course, our engineer. Larry Unger, answering phones. A little announcement, too. Should have announced this earlier, so might as well make this now. Starting November, the first Saturday in November, we’re adding another hour. to drive radio. Now, it’s going to be a little different. It will not be a live call-in hour. We’re going to call this extra hour drive radio the extra mile, and it’ll be on, we’re thinking right now, it looks like tentatively from 3 to 4 in the afternoon, and it’ll be more of a I don’t want to say podcast format because we’re still going to be on radio, so it’s not really that. But it’ll be more of longer interviews, reviews. Like I’m going to SEMA, for example, the first week of November, and I’ll have some interview opportunities where I’ll be able to interview some different manufacturers and things like that and be able to get a little bit more in-depth in certain topics than what we do during these three hours because this is a caller-driven show, and we want it to be. That’s never going to change. It’ll all be about you guys, the callers, and so on. But that last hour, that extra mile hour, we’ll devote more to topics that we maybe want to get more in-depth in. It’ll be conversations even that some of us have together, myself, Pat, Josh, others. I mean, we may just do some conversational things along those lines. We’ll put that in that hour. hopefully maybe grow that to a second hour. We’ll determine how all of that goes, but it’ll be a little different format, but that’ll be starting in November, just so you all know. David in Woodland Park, you’re next.
SPEAKER 11 :
So I think, how you doing, John? Good, sir. Thank you for taking my call. Man, I love to listen to all of your shows. They’re so informative.
SPEAKER 05 :
Thank you, David.
SPEAKER 11 :
You asked this question, I think you asked this question earlier, what car would I like to drive in retirement? Yes. Have you heard of the U8 and the U9? No, I have not. What are those? It’s two vehicles out of China from BYD.
SPEAKER 05 :
Ah, okay, yeah, BYD I’m familiar with, absolutely, yes.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, they’re a battery-making company that makes vehicles. I would, if I had the money… The U8s, they’re like their SUV version, right? Oh, their SUV version.
SPEAKER 05 :
Do you know that thing floats on water? I did see. Now that you say these, yes, I know what you’re talking about. Yes, I have.
SPEAKER 11 :
I mean, I think they are just spectacular vehicles. The thing turns on water. It can float on water. It does a tank turn. If you’re familiar with Speed Racer, the Mach 5 used to be able to jump.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right, that’s right. The U9 can jump as well. Yes, I’ve actually seen reviews and videos of these.
SPEAKER 11 :
They are.
SPEAKER 05 :
Now that you reminded me, I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize the model, but the company BYD have been watching. The thing about BYD that I’m still trying to figure out is, because I’ve never seen one up close, is what’s their quality like?
SPEAKER 11 :
I’ve watched reviews on the actual quality of the products. Higher cars. Yeah. And like their U9 crushes Mercedes. Wow. And it rivals even the cars higher than Mercedes.
SPEAKER 06 :
uh mercedes-benz because when you’re you’re shaking the consoles and stuff like that yeah yeah there’s no shake at all interesting they are solidly put together interesting david i’m really glad you mentioned both vehicles because as i i’m not familiar with them as i pulled them up on the internet here the u8 i’m not a big fan of the industrial design i thought that’s not even good looking vehicle and i looked at the u9 and holy smokes that’s gorgeous yeah it is yeah
SPEAKER 05 :
And, again, I’ve followed them a little bit, David. I’ve seen some of the reviewers that have actually gone to other countries because there’s no BYDs in America. They’re not allowed 100% tariffs right now on those cars. That’s why you don’t see any. And, again, I would love to see one up close, but the only way that’s going to happen is if I go to another country, I guess. Right.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, I’ve got a friend, he lives in Finland, and he’s been thinking about getting his wife a U8.
SPEAKER 05 :
Interesting. And again, given this other hour that we’re going to be doing, these are some of those things, David, that we’re going to be able to get a little bit more into and even play some video clips from different things. We won’t be doing that live for everybody listening. I’ll record some of that earlier in the week, probably on Mondays is what my plan is, and I’ll kind of get some of those in the bank. But for now, For that type of stuff, David, I feel like we can get into some more detail that we haven’t been able to do.
SPEAKER 11 :
I’m so looking forward to that show, that third hour. I am really looking forward to that.
SPEAKER 05 :
As we get closer and get all that firmed up completely. But right now, it’s looking like it’s going to be 3 to 4 o’clock on Saturdays. But that could change. So I’ll give you guys all the definites on that as we get a little bit closer here in the next couple weeks. All right. Thanks, John. David, appreciate you very much. As always, I appreciate it. Thank you very much as well. Clifton, you’re next. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yes, thanks for taking my call. I have a 1994 Ford F-150. It’s only got about 80,000 miles on it. But whenever you drive it, sometimes it kind of bucks like it’s trying to shut off, but it doesn’t shut all the way off. It does it worse when it’s hot outside. When it’s cooler outside, it doesn’t do it near as much. If you push on the gas, whenever it’s doing it, it stops. Does that sound like fuel? No.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, and this goes back to what Pat was even saying earlier. Unfortunately for the 94s, because they don’t quite have the same, how do I want to say this, Pat? It doesn’t quite have the same diagnostic capabilities as the later ones have. You only get limited information when you even go in with a scan tool on that one.
SPEAKER 06 :
Correct, but this is, if I’m understanding, this is the engine continuing to run after you turn off the key? No, it’s bucking as you drive, right? Oh, sorry.
SPEAKER 12 :
It just bucks as you’re drawing.
SPEAKER 05 :
So a question I have, does it act like it’s missing? In other words, does it feel like you’re shutting the key off super fast and turning it right back on? Or what’s it seem like?
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, it seems more like you’re shutting the key off and turning it right back on. But the engine never does die completely.
SPEAKER 05 :
I think it’s more ignition related. I would say it’s more of an ignition type problem as in do we have a bad, you know, that one has, you know, plug wires and, you know, distributor and, you know, cap rotor, et cetera, spark plugs. Has all of that been looked at yet, Clifton?
SPEAKER 12 :
All that’s been changed. And we even took the dash out because I know part of that operates through the speedometer and have that all rebuilt here in Denver, have the module back all rebuilt. So that’s all been done. That’s why it’s kind of puzzling us because the strange thing is, is if it’s real hot outside and it sits out in the sun, it does it worse. If it’s cool outside and it’s just sitting in the garage, it doesn’t do it near as bad.
SPEAKER 05 :
I mean, and again, I’m guessing. I’m not in the truck, so it’s hard for me to really say. Sometimes I can get a better feel when you’re actually driving. I mean, could it be fuel? Sure, it could be. That’s still fuel-injected, so I believe that 94 is fuel-injected. Yes, that one’s fuel-injected. Is it something in the fuel injection? Possibly. Possibly.
SPEAKER 12 :
I was wondering if maybe the fuel pump, because it did unhook the fuel pump.
SPEAKER 05 :
Does that have two tanks or just the one?
SPEAKER 12 :
It has two, but the back one’s blocked off.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, so you’re only running off the saddle tank. And as you know, those had pumps in the tank plus the other pump.
SPEAKER 12 :
It’s both pumps in the tank, I’m pretty sure. But the back tank is completely done. It’s completely done.
SPEAKER 05 :
So, I mean, is it possible that pump in the saddle tank is acting up? I mean, on a 94, sure, you don’t have a lot of miles. But, again, it’s a 94. It’s aged more than miles at this point.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, we took the fuel line loose and just turned it on, put the meter on it. And it just kind of intermittently spurts. And also, if you’re driving it and it’s bucking, if you push down the gas, it stops. That’s what made me think it might be fuel, and that pump was weak.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, it could be, although ignition can do some of that as well because as you’re raising the throttle, you’re raising RPM, and you’re sometimes, quote, unquote, driving through a problem even on an ignition side. I think what I would do quickly on a couple of things is if this is easy to do, sometimes it is, sometimes it isn’t, if you can get some type of a fuel pressure gauge on it that you could see while driving it, That would help, and you would see, hey, is the fuel shutting off and coming right back on? Now, you can do the same thing on the ignition side as well. You could wire in an idiot bulb, if you would, that would tell you, hey, am I losing ignition or not at certain times, and be able to watch one or two of those to see what it’s doing. Kind of an old-school way of doing it, but Clifton back then, that was sometimes all we had. Because, again, the computer systems aren’t as sophisticated on that one to give you the same information we need.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, the diagnostics, we’ve took it in before, and there’s just not enough.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, there’s not. So some of this, you almost have to rig up some of the things I’m talking about to really see what it’s doing.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah. Well, thank you. You’ve been very helpful.
SPEAKER 05 :
And that would be the way to do it. That way, now, once we can isolate, am I on the ignition side or am I on the fuel side, well, now we’ve got at least a direction we can go. Exactly.
SPEAKER 06 :
Because it could be either or from what you’re describing. Well, and there is a diagnostic connector on that truck. It’s OBD-1 style. Out of the hood. Yeah, under the hood most likely. If you find a shop that still has some of that capability, that would be interesting maybe to connect either the fuel pressure gauge, like you’re saying, or watch the ignition.
SPEAKER 05 :
And I would just say, Clifton, even on those, not to beat up Ford, but they on those vehicles had some of the worst diagnostic information that you could pull out of probably some of the other vehicles on the market at the time. They were awful. Just not very helpful. No, they were not.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, the frustrating part is, you know, a newer vehicle, you can plug it in, you can trace it. But tracing it with this is… No, they’re tough.
SPEAKER 05 :
They are tough. No, you are. Clifton, again, working on those like I did back in the day, you know, being a shop in that era and having those sorts of vehicles come and go as we were, you know, four-wheel drive, you know, performance, all of that sort of thing. Stores, yeah, those were really difficult. We even had back then on the Fords, especially breakout boxes where you could do different things on the ECM to try to determine what was happening. I mean, they were a pain in the neck.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, we’ve gone full electronic now. In that vintage, you’re kind of half electronic, right?
SPEAKER 05 :
You’re all electronic, but the diagnostic sides just wasn’t where it needed to be. Yeah, you were fully electronic on ignition and timing and all of that, Clifton, but the way they did it was pretty rudimentary.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, I think you’re just going to have to take it a piece at a time.
SPEAKER 05 :
Because, again, even in your case, you’ve still got a full distributor where it’s got a pickup and a hall effect and all of that’s still going on inside of it. Even though it was electronic, it’s still using some of those components in that way.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, yeah. Well, thank you.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, no, no. Appreciate you very much, Clifton. Thanks for the call. And I’m sorry, folks, but, yeah, that era, and it wasn’t just Ford, and the GMs weren’t a whole lot better, although they were easier to diagnose than what the Fords were. And, by the way, the Chryslers were even worse. So back then it was GM being easiest Ford, second easiest Chrysler was actually last when it came to helping on the diagnostic sides of things. Yeah. Ron and Denver, hang tight. We’ll come right back to you. Drive Radio, KLZ 560.

SPEAKER 05 :
All right, we are back. Pat and I were just talking that, keep in mind, so my old Dodge that I plowed snow with, my 2004, doesn’t seem like it’s that old, but it’s 22 years old, guys. That’s a 2004, 22 years old. So we’re talking about that 94. That one’s 32 years old now. Right. So the age, and we don’t think about it that way because we’ve all kind of grown up with these vehicles all the way through, but they’re getting old.
SPEAKER 06 :
So in the late 90s, there were a lot of people around who knew how to work on that truck. They’re not around anymore.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, they’re not around anymore. They just aren’t. No, that’s a great point. Ron in Denver, you’re next.
SPEAKER 08 :
Hey, good afternoon. How are you guys?
SPEAKER 05 :
Good. How are you? Good.
SPEAKER 08 :
Doing excellent. Appreciate your show. Thank you. Speaking of old vehicles, I have a 2001 Honda Civic. It’s a manual. I bought it from a private party in 2005, so that was 20 years ago. Garage kept. It was the husband’s vehicle. He had died, so it was just sitting in the garage for a bit. Had a buyer’s inspection done. It rocks. I take care of it. It’s in great shape. Nice. 277,000 miles on it.
SPEAKER 06 :
Nice.
SPEAKER 08 :
So the reason for the call, and I take it to a shop that works only on Acuras and Hondas. They’re in Lakewood. They’ve been doing business since the late 70s. And they indicated, you know, you might want to get a new clutch. Nothing’s going wrong with the car. I don’t feel anything. So I’m just kind of curious, how would you know?
SPEAKER 05 :
When was the last one done, do you know?
SPEAKER 08 :
As far as I know, it’s the original. I’ve never changed it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Based upon mileage and all of that, I can’t say that I can disagree with them. Now, on the same token, if you’ve driven it wisely, in other words, clutch doesn’t slip much, you know how to drive a manual transmission, which a lot of people do, and when you drive them correctly, can they last a really long time? Absolutely. Absolutely. There’s no inspection. There’s no way to look to see when’s that going to go bad. I think what they’re recommending is just based on mileage, you know there’s going to be a certain amount of wear on the pressure plate and the disc and even the throttle bearing and so on. And at some point, if you wanted a budget putting a clutch in it, if you’re going to keep the car long term, you’re there. They’re not steering you in the wrong direction at all, Ron.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay. Well, I never got that impression. I think it has to do with They did mention that, the tech, because I’m used to that clutch. You know, it’s the only clutch I drive. Sure. And they mentioned something about, yeah, it seems a little soft or something of that sort.
SPEAKER 05 :
And you know what? That’s interesting because you’re bringing up a point where it’s like shock absorbers. When you drive the car every day, you don’t really notice some of these things starting to change and getting – softer per se or the clutch pedal starting to change because you don’t notice it because you’re in it all the time when somebody else hops in it that maybe feels all sorts of these which as technicians they do yeah I could see where he would notice that
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay. Well, great.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, that would make – I mean, again, doing this over all the years like we’ve all done, I can sometimes hop in a car and say, did you know this is doing X, Y, Z? And the person will say, huh? I’m like, yeah, this isn’t the way this is supposed to be. Oh, I never even noticed it. Well, you probably didn’t because over time it’s just progressively gotten worse.
SPEAKER 08 :
Mm-hmm. Well, this is very helpful. I appreciate the service that you provide.
SPEAKER 05 :
I appreciate it, Ron. And again, the plus side is it’s not an emergency. You can budget for it. You can set a time that even works for them. And by the way, just a side note, I know in slow times of shops are, and you might want to even make a deal with them and say, I tell you what, if I book this for this week, what kind of a discount can I get? That’s the week after Thanksgiving, now that we’re getting close to it, and the week between Christmas and New Year’s. You might just say, hey, if I book this for that week, can I get a deal? And they may very well say, sure, that’s a perfect time for us to do that.
SPEAKER 08 :
Excellent. Never would have thought about that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay. So there’s a little help for you as well.
SPEAKER 08 :
Appreciate it. Well, you have a great weekend.
SPEAKER 05 :
You too, Ron. Appreciate you very much. And by the way, everything I just said, and Pat’s over here laughing because he knows exactly what I mean. You know, shops will do different things at different times because we know when our slow times are. And yes, the week after Thanksgiving, not before, but the week after is always a little slower because people go out of town, they do different things and so on. Now, that depends on the weather here. If we get into a really snowy week, the week after Thanksgiving, all bets are off. But that week between Christmas and New Year’s, that one I can assure you is a time where most shops will make you a deal because that’s one of the slowest weeks of the year for most every shop on the planet, no matter where you are.
SPEAKER 06 :
And that’s always a business decision for us because some of us would like to be home with our families. Others of us would like to be working. And so we try to keep the shop open maybe 60%, 70%. But to your point, if you can book out work and just know that not only can you be open to help the technician that needs to work, but you can also help someone who does have an emergency that week. That’s a good decision.
SPEAKER 05 :
And would the shop be willing to give you, say, a 10% discount on parts because you book it that week? You can’t really do much on labor because the techs have to be paid and so on. But, you know, could you work out something on the parts side during that week? Absolutely. Most shops, by the way, would chomp at the bit to schedule a decent job. I mean, that clutch job is a decent-sized job. Would they love to book that type of a job in over the Christmas holiday? They absolutely would. And if you don’t need the car, and in this case it’s a spare car that’s in the garage – and you want to get it out and do it at that time of the year, absolutely plan those things. Those are things, frankly, that I don’t know that we’ve ever really talked about on air before. I don’t think I’ve ever gone down that path. But for some of you where you can book certain types of jobs and you’ve got that ability and it’s a third car, for example, and you have that ability to not need it during a particular time, ask the shop, hey, when’s your next slow time that if I got a discount and I could book it during that slow time, I’d make the appointment right now. Let’s go ahead.
SPEAKER 06 :
do it no you’re you’re exactly right it’s an interesting realization that you just made it’s we’re lifting the hood on the auto repair business a little bit today because it is a business decision and it’s got to be good for the customer and good for the shop otherwise it’s not good business it’s a win-win but i can tell you from coaching shops i know when our slow times because i knew from even my business i know when those slow times are go ahead and be right up front with your shop ask them what that is can i get my car can i can i get you know
SPEAKER 05 :
Not trying to be cheapskate here, but can I get a little bit of a deal if I book during that time? Most of them would say, you know what, you’re a great customer. Yeah, we’d love to do that. Let’s book it then. Yep, that’s right. Let’s get it handled. So, all right, we’ll take a break. We’ll come back. Got another half an hour left. Any questions, by the way, give us a call, 303-477-5600. Drive Radio, KLZ 560. Few things are life-changing.

SPEAKER 15 :
Hi, good afternoon, gentlemen. I have a 2001 Toyota Tacoma. Nice. And for the longest time, the ashtray keeps slipping out. And I’ve tried everything to keep it in its place, but I’m not having any luck, and it’s driving me bananas.
SPEAKER 05 :
And it flips out as in as you’re driving? Does it just automatically come out if it’s parked? What’s it doing?
SPEAKER 15 :
No, when I’m driving, of course. Especially when I’m going up an incline.
SPEAKER 05 :
Is it plastic or metal?
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s metal.
SPEAKER 05 :
Metal. Yeah, I’m looking at it right now, and it’s probably got a spring-type mechanism that you push to pull it out. Am I thinking correctly? I mean, to pull it all the way out. To remove it completely is what I’m trying to say. If you wanted to take the ashtray out and empty it, is there like a little spring thing you have to push to take it all the way out?
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s the flap on the top that you just put down and slide it out. And there is a spring in there.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s what I thought. Okay, so… Here’s a question. Do you think the tray itself is just worn out, or is it the track that’s worn? What are your thoughts?
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, I’m not a smoker. I probably just used it since 2001 just to hold a couple of coins in there, and that’s about it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay. Okay, so here’s a question. What if you were to go to, like, Home Depot and buy some of the heavy Gorilla two-sided tape, and you just cut a little sliver off, and you put it on the backside of the ashtray and shut it?
SPEAKER 15 :
I tried that.
SPEAKER 05 :
It doesn’t stay? No. What comes loose? Does it come off the ashtray or does it come off the part that the ashtray hits?
SPEAKER 15 :
Um… Oh, I don’t know. Let me see.
SPEAKER 05 :
And the reason I’m asking is that we may just not be getting enough adhesive. Did you clean all that off with like some break clean or some alcohol or something before putting the tape on?
SPEAKER 15 :
No, I did not.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, that’s why. So do this again. Get a fresh piece of tape. Take even the little alcohol swabs or rubbing alcohol that you’ve got under the medicine cabinet or whatever. Wipe all that off really good. Let it dry. Then put your tape on.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
And try that. Because if you’re not using the ashtray, we’re just going to tape this thing shut and be done with it. Yep.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yes, and I was thinking of putting a little Velcro, but I thought maybe there was some adjustment I could do to the flap.
SPEAKER 05 :
Velcro’s not a bad idea because you could actually open and close it if you needed to. But same thing, even if you do the Velcro with the two-sided tape on that, you’ve got to clean it with alcohol.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yes, and I think that was my error.
SPEAKER 05 :
It will not stick otherwise.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, because the plastic, even the plastic, A, it gets stuff on it, B, it kind of vents, I guess is the best way to say. Plastic always will, so there’s always some venting going on, so clean all that off really good.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’ll do that.
SPEAKER 05 :
And for everybody listening, not any of the other products that are out there. You’ve got to use an alcohol-based product or it won’t get it clean enough for that to stick.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay. I’ll take care of that today.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right, Carmela, thank you very much. Have a good one. We appreciate that. Jeff in Montana, you’re next.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hey, good afternoon, guys. I think in all my years of listening, that was the first ashtray question.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I think it is too. I would agree with you. We’re very diverse here. Well, it’s funny because a lot of the earlier Ram trucks had that stupid cup holder thing that would fold down and they advertised it as you could put a big gulp in it and do this and do that. The problem with those bloody things is they did the same thing. After a while, they wouldn’t stay up. And so you kind of had to do the same thing with those.
SPEAKER 10 :
So regarding your question of the day, as I was thinking about this, there wasn’t any really car that I was interested in, but when I was a kid, are you familiar with the game of snooker? Oh, yeah. Yeah, for the audience, people might know, it’s a game of pool invented by the Brits in India years ago, and it’s on a bigger table. The actual full-size snooker tables are 6x12s, feet with like two-inch pool balls and rounded corners, so it’s really, really difficult to play. I managed to snag a five-by-ten table. It was actually built in Minnesota, and then the guy who was selling it was out of Castle Rock, so I had a guy go down to Castle Rock and pick it up and drag it back here, but I haven’t quite got it together yet. I’ve got to get the slate done. But that’s been my goal for probably a decade is to get a snicker table.
SPEAKER 05 :
That is one game I know about, but I never learned how to play.
SPEAKER 10 :
I’ll tell you, because of the rounded corners, you had to hit your shots exact. Otherwise, they would just bounce right out. There was no slop. And so when you were good on a snicker table, you were a pool shark anywhere else.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. You just had to be a lot more accurate is what you’re saying.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, yeah. More distance, smaller pockets, smaller balls, all that. The ones right here I think are two and a quarter, maybe two and three eighths.
SPEAKER 06 :
Nice.
SPEAKER 10 :
So, yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
A little bit larger. And you said the table is five by ten?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 06 :
Nice. So it takes a pretty good room to accommodate it then, pretty good size room.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes, it does. I actually couldn’t put it down in my basement room because it would take really small queues. So I have a place above my detached garage with a dance studio for the previous owner’s wife. And so that’s going to become kind of the man cave up there, I think.
SPEAKER 06 :
Sounds great.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. Yeah, so real quick on EV batteries, too. I was reading an article that you were talking earlier about range anxiety and, you know, replacement costs and all that when they were new. And the research has borne out that EV battery packs actually do not wear out or decrease in efficiency as fast as folks thought.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, they don’t.
SPEAKER 10 :
For 20 years.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 10 :
And still retain 80%. You’re right.
SPEAKER 05 :
Excellent. You’re right. And really quick, Jeff, too, and just something most people don’t know, there’s several different ways to make the battery packs and EVs. They’re not all created equal. GM has a design. Tesla has a design. Some of the other manufacturers have a design. They’re all not the same. They all use a cell-type arrangement, but the way those cells are made can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. That’s another thing most people don’t realize.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, do they have those made by a separate manufacturer who might make it for a variety of cars?
SPEAKER 05 :
In some cases, yes. In some cases, they own their own. It depends on the EV company.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, I imagine Tesla would do its own.
SPEAKER 05 :
Tesla does its own.
SPEAKER 10 :
They do their own, yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
And I think GM, don’t quote me, but I believe their Ultem platform is theirs as well. Now, they may have a manufacturer helping with the making of it, but it’s their design and their make and so on.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay. But this is more of a thing for ready radio, I think. But, you know, one of the points of the article was there’s a lot of battery packs out there that are getting tossed out that are still good. And maybe there might be some entrepreneur out there who already does this or it might be a good business for someone to buy, pick them up for a song and then use them as a,
SPEAKER 05 :
home power source no that’s not a bad idea you know what that is a good topic i’ll i’ll uh i’ll do some research and think through that that’s not a bad idea because as it is you can take for example on a gm vehicle ford i think does this as well i’m not sure about tesla you can actually take the ev and power with the right equipment in your house you can power your house for several days off of your ev wow your rolling battery pack gets used to run the house
SPEAKER 10 :
Yep. So, yeah, it was just a thought that occurred to me as you were talking about batteries. Great idea. It might be for some up-and-coming entrepreneur, not no fart like myself.
SPEAKER 05 :
And I did look up really quick how many battery manufacturers there are for EVs, and I thought there were maybe three or four major. There are a ton. There’s a long list of them, Jeff, and, again, every one of them doing things a little bit differently.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yep. Probably most of them in China. You know, it’s funny.
SPEAKER 05 :
As I go through this list, they’re literally all over the world. Yes, there’s some, of course, in China, but there’s also India, Korea. Let me go down the list here really quick. There is Japan. Japan, Germany, France, Switzerland, USA, of course, Sweden. Let me see if there’s any new countries coming up and some repeats of what I just said. Ireland actually has a couple of plants. Canada has a plant. United Kingdom has a plant. Taiwan and Vietnam. So more than you think. Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, definitely. Well, I did have two actual questions for you. Sure, go ahead. One was I was driving my wife’s PT Cruiser, picking up my daughter-in-law, and I hit a pothole at a fairly decent speed, and it bent the rim. It didn’t crease it. but it put a divot in it. My question is, is that something that can be taken out?
SPEAKER 05 :
Depends. Sometimes. That’s a big question. I had a listener the other day that sent me a wheel, and we did a little bit of research. And in this particular case, it turned out that if they were to straighten it, they would have went ahead and broke the wheel, so the wheel was bad. It’s going to vary. Depends on the wheel, the alloy they’re using, and so on. And a specialist will have to look at that and tell you.
SPEAKER 10 :
is it worthwhile just trying it and seeing if it breaks? Well, yes.
SPEAKER 05 :
If it breaks, it breaks and you’re into a wheel anyway, so it doesn’t matter. Yep.
SPEAKER 10 :
Right. Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 10 :
Uh, and then on, on windshield wiper blades, earlier, Tyler said he can’t get the Bosch anymore. They changed. I, for years, because number one, we had a single income, lots of kids. So, you know, you have the whole thing about dinks, double income, no kids. We were silks, single income, lots of kids. Um, But I would buy the wiper blade inserts, just the rubber, and take out the old rubber and put in the new.
SPEAKER 05 :
Back in the day, that’s how wipers were really sold, Jeff. When I was a kid, you didn’t buy a complete blade. You bought inserts. Right.
SPEAKER 10 :
Right. You just buy the rubber part and bend the little tab out, take it out, cut its length, put it in.
SPEAKER 05 :
Back in the early days, a lot of the vehicles, GM, Ford, and so on, they had little springs at the end of the wiper blade. You slid out and slid new ones in. They just clipped in. Yep. Shows you how old I am.
SPEAKER 10 :
Do you know if they still make those inserts?
SPEAKER 05 :
No.
SPEAKER 10 :
Because if somebody’s having trouble getting a blade.
SPEAKER 05 :
Not that I know of, no. They have done blade replacement. Some of the old, old vehicles, yes, they still make some inserts for, but that’s going to be the old metal wipers that none of the new cars even have anymore.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
A lot of plastic in the beam style blades.
SPEAKER 10 :
That might be a possible solution for them, just get the inserts.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, the other thing that might have to happen, depending upon the whole way of doing it, is just change the arm and everything out and go to a different arm that’s got the right adapter on it, and off you go. You could also do that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, well, yeah, it’s going to be one of the others, probably. It’s going to be the rubber or the whole kit and coodle. So, all right.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yep. All right. No, appreciate it, Jeff. Thank you very much. Somebody’s reminding me, too, that a 2015 car is 11 years old. That’s crazy. 2015, which doesn’t seem that old, is now 11 years old. So thank you, by the way, for that. I appreciate it. Okay, let’s do this. Give plenty of time this when we come back. Roy, Mickey, you guys hang tight. We have one line open, 303-477-5600.

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 Call Michael Bailey, the mobile estate planner, right now to set up a free consultation and make absolutely sure that you don’t leave anything to chance.

All right, we are back. Patch Knight, Alltech Automotive with me today. We’re going to finish out the show here. Roy in Colorado Springs, go ahead.
SPEAKER 09 :
Hey, John, I got a 97 Dodge Cummins. Okay. 5.9, 12 valve. Got 1,265,000. Good for you.
SPEAKER 05 :
Wow, that’s awesome.
SPEAKER 09 :
I changed out the head on it at… $1,249,000 because I’m a transporter. Okay. Talked to other truck drivers that had the same kind of trucks or experience with them, and they were telling me that it gets up there about $1.25 million. Well, better be definitely doing a valve job. Yeah. I put a new head on it from a company that ported it for towing, so it’s got some kind of advantage to that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, no, good, perfect.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah. Now I’m looking for a guy to rebuild the engine down here in Colorado Springs. Because of that head issue there, I took the head and the truck to Kansas and some farm boys that had their own shop, did their own work on their own stuff, and worked on everybody else’s stuff. And had them put it on, and they told me, you know, about it’s going to really need an overhaul pretty soon. Okay. 15,000 to go, I think. Something like that. So what I’m looking at out here is I’m used to my mechanic that I had on this truck for 10 years while I was doing transporting with it. He always told me I’d call him out in Nebraska or something, head into the West Coast and tell him what’s going on. He’d say, yeah, okay, well, yeah, come by when you think… if you want to go ahead and make your run, go ahead and, you know, the Bakersfield from Omaha, I don’t know. And I said, no, you know, if it’s acting up now, I don’t want to take a chance on a break in it. So he said, we’ll bring it on down. And I would, he’d say, go by the shop, you know, the parts house and pick up this part because he would give me two options. And he would say, well, really, I think it’s this. He was an old tank mechanic from Fort Carson. And he was employed at that time and doing side jobs. But he was employed at that time for FedEx and running, taking care of all the trucks up and down Front Range. So he’d do other people’s in the afternoon or morning. Then he’d go to work. All right, so he knew everything about everything. He’s like you, you know. Only it’s all packed in his head. He could just bring it right out and put it down on the here, this issue. Okay, so I’m looking for this guy to rebuild my truck. I found a guy in Oklahoma, and he was on a NASCAR training track in his trade school. I’m not sure if he worked on the track, but he was on that high-performance education. Sure. All right. I’ve been looking around for parts because I’m so used to my mechanics telling me, go pick up the parts and meet me at the shop. Right. Yeah. i’m up and running and you know right sure real quick and easy yeah yeah yeah and uh i uh so so you want to buy a short block i’m assuming are you going to have the guys in kansas do it for you or what are your thoughts well the guys in the guys in kansas closed closed their shop up and and i was ready to i was ready to you know get the parts and go okay and uh uh then i called them up and uh There was no answer there. I called one of their shops. Well, yeah, the guy that worked on my truck over there had his number. He said they’d closed up. Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
Because given the fact you just did the head, really all you need to do is buy a short block. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah. Well, I’m thinking, you know, I like this block so much because it’s been with me for so long. Yeah. Maybe I’ll just go put in. Well, one thing I’ve got with the short blocks is I really don’t know if those people putting those together, not so much the company, you know, but the guy that did it. I’m not so sure that. Maybe he didn’t mic something right, maybe something or other.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I get that, although I think if it were me, I wouldn’t buy one from any of the aftermarket guys. I’d go buy a real Cummins from the factory. Cummins short block is what I would do. Put your head on it.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, well, I’m not trusting Cummins anymore because I talked to one of their reps. Oops, I better not. Well, I’m not going to say his name, but he said everything they’re doing is made in China except their bearings. They’re made in the United States now.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, but here’s the thing. You’re going to find the same unless you take your block and find somebody that’s competent. I hate to use that word, but competent enough to actually take your short block and go through it. You’re going to be in that same ballpark no matter what you do.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah. Yeah. Well, that was what I was anticipating, actually, when I looked at all the short blocks. You know, I’m just going, no, I don’t think so.
SPEAKER 05 :
The guys to call locally, the only body I know that might even be willing to do this, Roy, is the machine shop up in Greeley. You might talk to those guys up there and see if that’s something they’d be interested in doing.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay. Okay. That’s what I did already. Well, when I found this NASCAR guy.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 09 :
Machine shops, because they would know the guy.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 09 :
The guy. guy would bring them the block there you go and i’m having issues with colorado springs because it seems like they blow smoke at me i don’t know anybody down there and again the only buddy i know even locally sorry for all the other machine guys that might be out there that are good i don’t know you but i do know the guys in greeley do great work yeah okay okay well my story was i started calling machine shops in kansas because my guys were closed over there got it i’ve I was going to maybe go to Oklahoma and work harvest down there a couple of months ago. I never got to that. But I thought, okay, I’ll just find a machine shop in Oklahoma and find out who built it, who brings it. And I found a machine shop, and they said, oh, yeah, and this guy over here, he’ll take it out and he’ll bring it to us, and we’ll bore it out and everything. Sure. So I called him and found out he was a NASCAR guy.
SPEAKER 05 :
Very cool.
SPEAKER 09 :
We had a pretty good conversation. I got a price for getting a thing done in five minutes on the phone.
SPEAKER 05 :
Nice. Very nice.
SPEAKER 09 :
I can’t do here in town.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, you can’t.
SPEAKER 09 :
Very good. There’s another company in Utah that will do the same thing. I called them up very first. I was… I was talking to the rep longer than I was on the phone, shorter than I was on the phone, and I had a price on it. Right? That’s awesome. I can’t get that here in town. They want to do all kinds of stuff. Well, now I’m looking. This whole thing about bringing parts was a thing that I dropped on the NASCAR guy. I says, yeah, I’ll bring parts. And he says, well, I like to buy the parts, you know, because…
SPEAKER 05 :
He can control the quality better that way.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, and he’s got the connections, and he knows what he wants to use. Exactly. Can’t blame him for that. All the kits that I’m seeing out there, I’m assuming they’re made in America. One company is using Cummins old stock.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. New old stock. They call it NOS is what they call that.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, the Cummins Forgery, I mean Forge, the company using that building and that equipment right now. Makes sense.
SPEAKER 05 :
Gotcha. And I’m getting tight on time, Roy, so what are you going to do? What’s your plan?
SPEAKER 09 :
I’m looking at all these kits, and I’m seeing Mali, Clevite, Interstate McBee, and yeah, those three major brands are coming up. with the name brands in these parts kits that i’m seeing uh and i’ve double checked on that and i think i think i’m i’m safe with any of those guys i think so too i would agree and i just want to i just want to i don’t that the nascar guy uh i don’t know if he might be just kind of he’s he’s very you know his way okay it’s your way but i i don’t want to put he tried to sell me First call, he tried to sell me Speedy Air Pistons. And I didn’t know what they were. I looked them up, and they’re fantastic, man.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, that’s one of the top brands right now in that world.
SPEAKER 09 :
But he’s telling me it’s going to be $17,000, and I’m going, nope.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s a lot of money. Yeah, you don’t need that much. Yeah, that’s too much.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, you know, of course, there’s other stuff that goes with the pistons to make it do. That’s right. That’s right. Yeah. You got it. I’m not pulling sleds. I’m not pulling sleds. I’m not doing mutters.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right.
SPEAKER 09 :
And I’m not racing.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s right. You’re hauling, and you want it to be reliable.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I’m an old guy.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 09 :
And my truck’s going to— and I don’t know whether to be buried in it or not.
SPEAKER 05 :
I hear you. I hear you. And, Roy, I’m going to slip one more call in. Let me know what you end up doing on that. I appreciate that, and I feel your pain. Real quick, Gary, let me see if I can get this in really quick. I’ve only got a minute. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I’ve got a 2006 F-350 with the 6.0 in it, about 40,000 miles. The turbo lag got so bad it was almost dangerous to drive it. So I had my mechanic put a new turbo in it. And I thought it was a new one, but it ended up being a rebuilt one. But it has almost as much lag as the other one did. And he said over time it would get better. No, it won’t.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, no, it won’t get better. If it’s not good now, it’s not going to get any better. Those are variable vane turbos. There’s probably something wrong with that particular turbo as to why the lag is there.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s what I would say. Gary and I apologize. We’re up against the end of the show. Mickey, sorry. I’ll get you. You’re always a good caller. I appreciate it very much. Sorry I didn’t get you squeezed in today. We’ve got to get out of here. Pat from Alltech, thank you very much. I appreciate it as always. Hey, thanks for having us, John. Always a joy.
