In this heartfelt episode of Drive Radio, we dive into the touching stories of fatherhood, shared experiences, and automotive advice that defines us. From the funny and endearing tales of holding a flashlight for our dads to the profound impact of being a father figure to many, we explore the diverse and lifelong lessons passed down through generations. Our special guest Pat Schneid and host John discuss the father’s day sweet moments that tie us to our pasts and pave the way for future memories.
SPEAKER 08 :
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 mile, 13.40. 390 horsepower, 500 foot-pounds of torque. Whatever that is. Performance and image, that’s what it’s all about.

SPEAKER 05 :
And we are back. Last hour, Drive Radio, KLZ 560. If you guys have anything at all you’d like to talk about and have us help you with, whatever. It could be anything from buying a car, selling a car, what car to buy. It could be you name it. You have repair problems. You’ve got questions. We’ve had a lot of that today so far. Or you want to answer the question of the day, which is give me something that… You know, dad has taught you. Your dad taught you. Could be about cars. Could be about anything. It doesn’t matter. We’re not being picky. You name it. We’re here to talk to you. Pat Schneid joining me today from Alltech Automotive up in Fort Collins. And then, of course, Charlie Grimes, our engineer, Larry Unger, answering phones. Lines are open. I should have mentioned that a moment ago. 303-477-5600. The text line, which you guys are always texting on. I appreciate that as well. 307-200-8222.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yep, absolutely. I’ve got a quick dad story. Go for it. Absolutely. So you see a lot of jokes of this now on social media, memes, things about learning how to hold the flashlight for your dad.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, yes. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 07 :
So that’s one thing that dad taught me, and I learned some new words during the experiences that were holding the flashlight for him and whatnot. And over the years, dad and I became very, very good friends and friends. What I found out later in life is that when he would buy something that he liked for himself, he would buy two and he would give me one because we were the same size clothing-wise, tool-wise, everything. And so at one point in my life, I became addicted to these little headlamps and the Petzl Zipka is one that is very compact. And so I bought one for myself. Liked it so much, I bought one for Dad. And when he passed four years ago, I saw it. I was standing in his garage looking at his tool bench, and I saw it on the pegboard. It was just hanging there, and Mom doesn’t even know what it is. So I just grabbed it and put it in my pocket. Now I’ve got two of these little headlamps, and every time I grab one, I think of Dad.
SPEAKER 05 :
You know, I have similar things where I have certain items that when you pull it out, you just automatically think the same way. Pat, I fully understand that. And it’s weird. It’s not always… Something large. I mean, it could be a key chain. It’s a trigger. Something really, you know, not high value, I guess what I’m trying to say. Exactly. You’re like, oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, that brings back memories.
SPEAKER 07 :
Just the memories and the shared experiences.
SPEAKER 05 :
And those are some of the things that I do keep. And, you know, guys, hey, I do want to say this. Father’s Day is tomorrow, and I know there are a lot of folks out there listening. There are some of you that had great dads, dads that taught you a lot of things about a lot of things. In other words, there probably wasn’t too many things they didn’t teach you. On the same token, I know there’s a lot of you listening where you may not have had a great relationship with dad or may not have had a dad at all. And I hear this from some of you, and this means a lot to me, believe me. It means a lot. A lot of you, I think, at times think of us, me, others here, as dad as well. And that’s quite the honor. I will just tell you that straight up. For me, it puts a tear in my eye because, believe me, it makes me feel really… Fulfilled. That’s right. To know that there’s a lot of you out there that think of us in that way. And really, it’s what makes this show what it is. And I mean that sincerely. I’m not just saying that to say that. I mean that sincerely that you guys would think of us in that way. And you listen on a continual basis to learn things that you may not have been able to learn previously. And believe me, I mean that sincerely. And, Pat, I know you feel the same way.
SPEAKER 07 :
I do. It’s the relationship and it’s the meaning behind. And that’s why we do it. Yep.
SPEAKER 05 :
And we’ll keep doing it, folks. We’re not going anywhere. So we appreciate it very much. Scott, you’re next. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yes. My son was driving downtown and someone spray painted his car.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 09 :
I was trying to find out the best way to clean it.
SPEAKER 05 :
First things first.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s not a big thing. It’s like it was tagged.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, and it can come off. There’s actually different products made. Now, most of them are more on the industrial side. And what I mean by that, there are companies that actually make paint, graffiti removal and so on. But before you go down that path, how long has the paint been on there? uh two days okay good so it’s fairly new first things first people are going to laugh at me because i i say this a lot and i get a lot of jokes coming back on it try some wd-40 first put wd-40 on there let it soak a little bit take just a terry cloth towel and see what it does to loosen that up it’s a good idea okay okay my wife looked it up mentioned wd-40 and i was like
SPEAKER 09 :
I’m hesitant to do that to a brand-new car.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, and WD-40 will do nothing to your current paint. That’s the nice thing about it. It’ll take off, you know, bugs, tar, all kind of things along those lines. Now, here’s the other thing you could try. You’ve got to be a little careful, and you may have to do a little bit of waxing afterwards, but you can also take the, oh, those, what are those stupid, Charlie, what’s the little white pads called that we use here for? Magic eraser? So you can also, Scott, lightly, don’t go heavy, but you could also try a magic eraser with the WD-40. Okay. Okay? Don’t go heavy because the magic eraser can cause a, you know, it won’t take the paint off, but it can do a little bit of a scratch if you’re not careful. But if you go lightly, you won’t even scratch it, and the little bit that you do, you could take some wax to it after that, and it’ll clean right up.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay. Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
I appreciate that. And you should be okay doing that. You shouldn’t have any issues.
SPEAKER 09 :
All right, thanks.
SPEAKER 05 :
You’re very welcome, Scott. Appreciate that. Great call, by the way. Al, you’re next. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hey, John. I wanted to make a comment about my dad since tomorrow’s Father’s Day. He’s 92 now, and I’m a kid that grew up in the 60s, and my dad always had old cars, and he hated buying batteries for them, so… He would always have an extension cord running out the mail slot in front of our house to his battery charger. And he just hated buying new batteries. And ultimately, he would, I think, sell the car before he put a battery in it. Wow. One thing I learned from him was positive and negative and how to hook up and how to jump a car.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
And so that changed later in life. Obviously, he got better and his cars had new batteries. But that was my memory of him with the battery charger.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s a great memory, and I love the positive and negative because a lot of people still mix that up.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yep, I learned that from him. Thanks for letting me comment.
SPEAKER 05 :
And far too many, by the way, Al, on newer vehicles, and this is where you’ve got to be really careful on a new vehicle, and this is why I recommend, and we’ve been talking about this on the program for a long time, if you have jumper cables, I guess if you wanted to go store them away for a rainy day or something you needed them for, I guess you could still have them, but I’m one that… Throw jumper cables away. Use the jump boxes because they are made in such a way that you cannot hook them. I mean, you can hook them up backwards, but they won’t do anything. It’s got circuit protection in it where if you hook it up backwards, it’s not going to do anything, not damaging anything to the vehicle. I can’t tell you, Al, how many stories we’ve heard even here on this program of, Somebody getting jump-started, not having those connections correct, and wiping out electrical components on one or the other or in sometimes both vehicles by doing so. That’s right.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, the extension cord out the mail slot was one thing.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s hilarious, though. And by the way, Al, I’ve seen that. I can visualize it. It’s a good memory. I’ve seen it. I know exactly what you’re talking about. I have seen that.
SPEAKER 10 :
I’m sure the mailman hated it.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m sure. That’s hilarious, actually. Good story.
SPEAKER 07 :
But the mailman also remembers your dad.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, good point.
SPEAKER 10 :
He sure does.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, happy Father’s Day, Al. Thank you, sir.
SPEAKER 10 :
You’re welcome, John.
SPEAKER 05 :
Appreciate you, man, very much. Bill and Centennial, you’re next. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 14 :
Hey, shout out to Charlie for the bump music, Beach Boys. Nice, yes, absolutely. My favorite Beach Boys song was actually a remake of the Mama Papa’s California Dream, which is about 35 years ago. Oh, great song. I know they have a lot of them, but that’s my favorite.
SPEAKER 05 :
Good one. So anyway. Good one.
SPEAKER 14 :
Thanks for driving down. I know that’s a horrible drive because my mom still lives in Loveland and I drive up to see her from Centennial and Oh, fantastic.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, it’s not too bad. It was light today, usually back up on 270, but today flew right through. So, yep, I was actually here early. Good for you.
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, your drive home, it won’t be that nice.
SPEAKER 05 :
It never is. No, it never is. Anymore, Bill, at least for me, my drive home is as bad as it is at 6 o’clock at night in the week.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah. Until they get that widened to three lanes, it should have been done 10 years ago.
SPEAKER 05 :
20 years ago.
SPEAKER 14 :
That’s right. Probably 20. It’s just going to be horrible. So Father’s Day, my wife is away on a girls weekend. And I’m just curious on your opinion. Could the fellas get away with doing that on Mother’s Day weekend? No. No.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, Bill. That one, I am 1,000% confident the answer is no.
SPEAKER 07 :
You hooked me there because you said, I thought you were going to say, can the fellas get away with doing it? Absolutely, you can. And then you said on Mother’s Day, I’m like, oh, hell no. Yeah, hell to pay afterwards, absolutely.
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, I married an angel, so she probably would let me, and I’m fine with her going away.
SPEAKER 05 :
I was telling somebody this the other day, and I actually think it was either Thursday or Friday on my regular daily show, that when it comes to Father’s Day, dads are pretty forgiving. You know what? We’re easy. Give us a card or a pat on the back or whatever. I mean, we don’t need a whole lot, Bill, at the end of the day. True story.
SPEAKER 14 :
We don’t. To me, every day is Father’s Day.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s right. It’s all good. I’m happy no matter what.
SPEAKER 14 :
You were talking about gas and, you know, the formulas for all these emissions. Yes, yes. I try to make a point to drive by the remote sites. You go on the website, figure out where they’re going to be. That’s right. And then you buy them because if I go to a testing station, my blood pressure goes off the charts. And I drove by two that were supposed to be there yesterday, and they weren’t there.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, that’s crazy.
SPEAKER 14 :
They got statuses online. They got green, which says online or on-site testing, yellow, on-site, status unknown, and then red, not testing. And this said on-site, but status unknown. And I’ve driven by those before, and they’ve been there, but I drove by two, and they backed up and left, I guess.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, that’s too bad. Yeah, because I’m with you. I would try to do everything possible to avoid going to the station, find those mobile spots and so on because, yeah, I just personally, Bill, hate going to the other place. What do you figure the lead time is in passing a mobile station before it registers with your state record? I think you have to be – Bill, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you’ve got to be at least 30 days out from where your renewal would be sent to you in the mail. So those are typically sent a month in advance, so you need to be about 60 days out to actually have that work, if I’m not mistaken.
SPEAKER 14 :
According to the website, it’s 90 days. 90, okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
So there you go, 90 days.
SPEAKER 14 :
I forgot to add the government control part of it. Okay. It just makes me mad. As I said in the past, somebody’s getting rich off that program.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s just a tax. I say it all the time. It doesn’t hurt my feelings to say it at all, Bill. It’s a tax. That’s all it is now. That program is doing nothing, zero, when it comes to the emissions across the front range of Colorado. It has now become nothing more than a tax.
SPEAKER 14 :
And I just heard they want to raise the prices. They do.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, my gosh. Yes, they’re going to try to double them. You’re correct. Can we just eliminate that? Well, and I looked into this. We, you know, listener and I, you know, Mark, we tried to go down to the statehouse a few years ago and see if there was a way to actually eliminate that, put some sort of a safety inspection in in its place. And basically we were told that in this this was a true statement. So I’m not faulting any of our politicians here in Colorado because of the national impact. epa standards and where we in the front range fall with the brown cloud and so on we by mandate have to have some sort of an emissions program in place otherwise we don’t get our federal highway funds and so on so the reality is bill it’s not going anywhere even though it’s doing nothing it’s not going anywhere unless they change that on the epa level it’s not going anywhere
SPEAKER 14 :
Yep, it’s not. So my opinion, yours and Pat’s, what’s your opinion on changing your ignition coils, especially the second time you’re doing plugs as part of a maintenance? Yes. Even though they’re not as broken.
SPEAKER 05 :
Absolutely. That’s a yes for me.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, it’s not a requirement for sure, but it’s preventive maintenance is the way I’d look at it. It’ll keep you from, you know, you can do maintenance either on your schedule or on your car schedule. Much better to do it on your schedule in the daylight, not at 1030 at night on the side of the road. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, so I just did plugs for the second time on our 08 Fusion at 170K. Nice. And so I kind of… cheated a little you’ll probably get a chuckle i just it’s a v6 so the plenum has to come off yep so i just did the back three because those the plenum has to come off to get to them right funds can be fixed you know solved in three minutes and i did do uh motorcraft coils so that’s good i didn’t go cheap i would go ahead and just just to keep them consistent and you’ve done the back three just do the front three
SPEAKER 05 :
You’re saying they’re right there. That’s right. Just do them right now. That way they’re all consistent and the same.
SPEAKER 14 :
There’s something to that. I think those motorcraft coils were $90 a piece. Just spending, what’s that, $900, $500.
SPEAKER 07 :
Hey, Bill, has anybody ever told you that personally you’re a little backwards? I mean, most people would just do the front three. Good one.
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, I’ve owned a Taurus a few years back, and I decided to do all the plugs. And it’s a V6. The plugs on the back were the originals. Oh, my gosh. Wow. At $130,000 because somebody didn’t want to reach. You didn’t even have to take the quantum off to do them. You just had to get the right extensions and wobble sockets and do it.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s right. They didn’t want to do it. Scuff up your knuckles a little bit. Yep. Yep.
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah. All right. Happy Father’s Day.
SPEAKER 05 :
Happy Father’s Day to you, Bill. Appreciate it. We’ll take a break. We’ll come back. Russ, Steve, you guys hang tight. Both from Cheyenne. We’ll be right back. Drive Radio, KLZ 560.

SPEAKER 06 :
Tack it up, tack it up, bodygun.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right, and we are back. Drive Radio, KLZ 560. Russ in Cheyenne, you’re next.
SPEAKER 12 :
Hey, good morning.
SPEAKER 05 :
Good morning.
SPEAKER 12 :
Happy Father’s Day. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. You know, you got me thinking about it. I think I’ve been listening to you guys since like 2003, maybe 2004. Yeah, that’s probably…
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, we’ve been on air, gosh, I’ve got to remember, 26 or 7 years now, Russ, something like that. I mean, I started doing the show even as just a helper, I guess you could say. Wow. And then as I got further and further into it, I mean, I can remember, Richard, my youngest, is 33, and he used to come help me do the show when he was 3 and 4 years of age. So that kind of tells you how long we’ve been doing it.
SPEAKER 12 :
Right. Right. Well, and I will say that I’ve learned a lot from you guys over the years. My dad wasn’t much of a mechanic. I was way into cars more than he ever was. I have learned a lot from you guys over the years, and I do appreciate the knowledge you guys share.
SPEAKER 05 :
We learn from you guys, too, Russ, you included. So I know you guys all are, you know, you’re here listening to us, but I’m not exaggerating. I learn something every single week. I’m here from at least one of you, if not more.
SPEAKER 07 :
And Russ, I really appreciate your story because my dad was also not a car guy. And it is through your friendships and the relationships, you know, like attracts like. And if you’re a car guy and I’m a car guy, we can all share stories and learn something.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s amazing. And not to get off track, but you guys are talking about something that I’ve shared during the weekly show, but I’m going to share here because I’m very sincere in saying this. In the car world, and this is something that I wish the rest of the political world would come to realize, because in the car world, we don’t care who you are, what you look like, short, fat, bald, skinny. You could be black, Asian, American, Indian. I mean, I go down the list, Russ. It does not matter. In the car world, no one cares. All of that stuff literally goes away in the car world because car guys, car people are just car people, and we don’t care about anything else.
SPEAKER 07 :
I literally have goosebumps from what you just said.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know why we can’t do that everywhere else because the car world is very much that way.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yep. Yeah. Well, and I’ll tell you, I like classic cars. I like old sheet metal. But I got nothing wrong with brand new stuff either.
SPEAKER 05 :
I love technology. Or Russ, even, and I’m not into certain types of cars. I’ll just be straight up honest. And yet I’m still appreciative of anything anybody builds because I know the amount of time, effort, and so on that it went to do that build. So it could be a low rider. It could be a 12-inch lifted truck. It could be everything in between. And I’m still appreciative of whatever somebody builds. I agree.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah. Well, and the other thing is I notice a lot of car guys. You know, I have a few kids in my circle. You know, not my kids, but kids in the periphery, friends, people I go to church with. I am always available to help those guys fix their cars. I love to teach people how to work on cars.
SPEAKER 07 :
That is perfect.
SPEAKER 12 :
Keep in the faith. Sometimes it’s scary to dig into something. But it’s already broke, so it’s not like you’re going to break it more.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, good point. That’s right. Great point. It’s a good way to look at it. You can’t re-break it. That’s right. Good way to look at it.
SPEAKER 12 :
So I’ve noticed that with the car culture that guys just like to help other people. Well, it’s not even just guys, but they like to help other people learn about it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 05 :
The best thing about, I mean, I think if there’s anything I learned from, you know, my dad along those lines as well, Russ, is a lot of the things that we just mentioned were big things to him. It really doesn’t matter what your background is, your walk of life, your income level, your race, your whatever. I mean, the reality is it’s all the same in the car world. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It’s a true story.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, and you’ll see this. You used to see this at Bandimere. The guy that comes in an open flatbed with an old race car has probably more fun than the guy that shows up with an 18-wheeler and a triple-decker car. Great point. It’s all in the attitude. That’s exactly right.
SPEAKER 05 :
Great point. Yeah. Money isn’t everything. That’s right.
SPEAKER 12 :
The guy that called in a little bit ago about the spray paint.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 12 :
Canuba wax takes spray paint off clear coats really well.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s true, too. Yeah, good point. Thank you, Russ. The yellow wax, so the yellow carnauba wax, yeah, thank you. And that would be a good follow-up, by the way. So not only could you do what I was mentioning, but that wax would also do that as well. Great tip, Russ. Yeah. Yeah, great tip.
SPEAKER 12 :
I found that the synthetic stuff doesn’t work as well.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, it does not. I don’t know. It doesn’t have the oil and stuff in it, I don’t think, Russ. Yeah.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah. And then the guy that called in about the wasps?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 12 :
One thing I started doing is I put my traps out as soon as I start seeing bugs fly around in the spring.
SPEAKER 05 :
There you go. So you’re doing what they talked about doing, capturing those queens and stuff, basically, what you’re doing.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah. And I have flower beds that water themselves. And so if you take and put a dish in your flower bed where it’s getting water so that thing fills up every day, you’re creating a water source for the wasps. And then if you get like a plant hanger or something like that and hang a trap above that, they come for the water and they stay for the tree.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, good idea. Great idea.
SPEAKER 12 :
And ever since I started doing that, I have to empty my traps probably two times a year now.
SPEAKER 05 :
Great idea.
SPEAKER 12 :
Because they just get too full.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, that’s a good idea.
SPEAKER 12 :
But the water brings them in, and then they find food, and they’re like, sweet.
SPEAKER 05 :
I do the same thing. I’ve got a fountain, not a smaller fountain, but the wasps love it because they can go get the water out of it. And I hang traps around that. That’s perfect. It works really well. You’re right on target. Yep, perfect.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, and rebate them things once a month.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s right. Yep, keep up on them.
SPEAKER 12 :
It doesn’t take, you know, not a whole summer. It’s about a month, and then they start losing their effectiveness.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s right. Great tips, Russ.
SPEAKER 12 :
If you have a second, I wanted to share you one good story with my dad.
SPEAKER 05 :
Go right ahead, absolutely.
SPEAKER 12 :
My dad was a lifelong railroader. He worked for the UP for 46, 47 years. Okay. And we were coming home one night, and we come up over a crest of a hill. My dad had this little 65 Beetle, pitch black, and there’s a rotating light in the middle of the road in front of us and it scared the crap out of my dad and he thought it was a ufo right it turned out it was a train running down the tracks and there was just a car behind it wow and it looked like and it just the funniest thing i’ve ever seen because my dad’s a lifelong railroad he rides rides trains for a living and yet the train just literally scared the crap out of that’s hilarious
SPEAKER 05 :
Good story.
SPEAKER 12 :
It is a good story. One of those special moments that I think about and I just can’t help but laugh because, I don’t know, the irony of it made me laugh a lot.
SPEAKER 07 :
It was just that dark that night, yep.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah. Good story. I realized it was a train as soon as I saw it.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s funny. Good story.
SPEAKER 12 :
So I do appreciate you guys.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, you as well, Russ. Appreciate your faithfulness. Thank you very much. And all the years you’ve been listening, I do appreciate that. Steve and Cheyenne, go ahead. You’re next.
SPEAKER 11 :
Hey, John. Happy Father’s Day to you and your crew there.
SPEAKER 05 :
Thank you, sir.
SPEAKER 11 :
Enjoy the show as always. Appreciate it. So I’m doing an oil change. Absolutely. Doing an oil change here on the Weiss 2021 Mazda CX-5 with the 2.5 Skyactiv turbo. Yep. So… What’s your thoughts on to pre-fill the oil filter or just put it in dry?
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s not necessary. I used to think back in the day it was and did that as a kid, I think, even, and pre-fill it thinking that you’re not going to lose any prime or anything that way. But, Steve, they wind up so fast now. That oil pressure comes up almost immediately. And one thing I learned, and I should have known this even as a kid, is you can just keep this in mind for everybody listening. I can’t tell you, Steve, how many engines as a kid that you had to take apart. It was kind of the learning process of being a young technician. And sometimes they would even say, hey, go take that engine apart that might have been sitting outside, Steve, for years. I mean, so bad that the oil pan, the valve covers, everything’s rusted, and you think you’re going to pull the thing apart, and it’s just going to be full of water and rust, and yet you pull it apart, and guess what’s still in it? That’s right. Yeah, I mean, so reality is it takes a lot to drain every oil out of all of those passages and have it be completely dry. So reality is it’s not an issue.
SPEAKER 07 :
And I’m thinking in that Mazda, you’re probably running, what, 0.20, maybe 5.20. It’s pretty thin. It spins up fast. Really fast.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah. Well, you know what? Yeah, that’s a good… You just took the next question I had, and they were saying 0.20, but then it said if you have the 2.5 with Skyactiv Purple, they’re saying the 5.30 synthetic. So I figured it’s hot out, it’s summertime. Whatever it says. So that’s what I’m putting in is the 5.30, something a little bit thicker compared to the wintertime, where… Maybe the lighter oil might be better. Now, what about—I’m sorry to keep— You’re fine.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, you’re good. Good questions.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. What about maintenance interval? I think it was saying 7,500 miles.
SPEAKER 05 :
Too long. Holy cow, that’s kind of— Yeah, five at most, four to five on that particular engine especially, given its direct injection, four to five, five tops. Yep.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. I just reset the thing, and I thought I’m going to go at 5,000. Perfect. I’m going to call John and see what he says about that.
SPEAKER 05 :
You’re right on the money.
SPEAKER 11 :
Last question. I’ll make it real quick. We simply bought this car a few months ago. It’s got 80,000 miles. The previous gentleman was only running 85 octane, and I thought, well, I think you should be running 87 being it’s a turbo.
SPEAKER 1 :
91.
SPEAKER 11 :
And the manual said 87, so that’s what we’re doing. Put the ethanol free gas in it. Ran to Missouri. I put some Marvel Mystery Oil in it and the ethanol-free gas. We were getting pretty good, 34 miles a gallon, heading east on I-80. But then coming back to Cheyenne, the wind and uphill, we dropped down to like 22 miles a gallon. And so anyway, I just thought the ethanol-free gas, maybe some Marvel Mystery Oil in the fuel tank and in the crankcase. might help clean things out since we’re doing a highway.
SPEAKER 05 :
Actually, on that one, start doing, Steve, every oil change because of the engine that it is. Nothing against Marvel, but use the BG product. It’s the best, and I don’t care. I’ll put it up against the test of time, period. Use the BG EPR. Add an oil change. Now, you’re already doing this one. You’re already done. So just wait. Do it on the next oil change. So in 5,000 miles, do the EPR. It’s a product you put in before the oil change. So you put it in. You’re going to bring the engine up to warm temperature. Follow the directions on the can. Just do exactly what it says. But use the EPR, the MOA, which is their oil additive, and 44K. You don’t need to do 44K every oil change, but do it a couple of times a year depending upon your mileage. Yeah, 44K goes to the fuel tank. Yeah, 44K is in the tank. Gotcha. Yep.
SPEAKER 11 :
Excellent advice. Okay, very good. What about this extended warranty? We’re getting these extended warranty offers every week in the mail. Just regard. Throw them away.
SPEAKER 07 :
Throw them away.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s what I told the wife. Yeah, throw them away.
SPEAKER 07 :
Take that money, put it in a shoebox, or better yet, a bank account. Do what we’re saying, and you won’t need it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. And if you take that money, just put it in a savings account. That’s right. Same money, do the same thing.
SPEAKER 11 :
Do you like these vehicles, these Mazdas?
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, great vehicle. Fantastic vehicles.
SPEAKER 11 :
I thought they were pretty good.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s a great vehicle. You’re doing fine there. Yep, my sister just bought one, and she loves it too. Yep, absolutely. All right, Steve, I’ll let you roll. Thank you very much.

SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, not much. Just was working today. Good. Good. Getting all of our center pivots fired up.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right. Awesome. Get those things rolling.
SPEAKER 08 :
One thing my dad taught me was how to use J.B. Weld correctly.
SPEAKER 05 :
Good one, Soren. Good one.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. No, it actually is pretty useful. We use it for gluing together clay pans again when we get them broken.
SPEAKER 05 :
Clay pans. Okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, it works really, really well for that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, so what did you say, Pat? What’s a clay pan?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, what’s a clay pan used for?
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, you use it for cooking. It makes it like a slow cooker.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, gotcha. Oh, very good. Gotcha, gotcha. That makes sense. Okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
And the JBL can hold up to the high heat for long periods of time, and it works really well.
SPEAKER 05 :
Good to know.
SPEAKER 08 :
But, yeah, that works really good. Mostly, though, my dad has taught me through proxy because all my –
SPEAKER 05 :
older brothers are the ones who teach me yeah i hear you that’s all right i did the same thing i was kind of the lead and then i taught you know brother sister and yeah i i understand that part of it as well very much so yeah and then it’s also my cousins i work with a lot of dad’s family got it well it’s a farm that’s what you do that’s right yeah yeah it works really good nothing wrong with that that’s the way it ought to be got got taught how to drive a semi at 10 years old and how to shift at 10 speed that was pretty good yeah nothing wrong with that either good for you well a lot of kids your age uh you know young men your age soren don’t even know how to drive a stick period that’s correct yeah i just learned yesterday how to drive an 18 speed correctly okay but yeah that makes you employable which is it’s is it a six and three what is it well no so it’s um
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s like an eight-speed, but then you have another set of splitters.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, so it’s a splitter. Okay, gotcha. Okay, okay. Yeah. Yeah, well, because the old brownie boxes were three and four speeds on top of whatever else you have, making them like 24, like six and four.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
We used to have a two-stick truck back in the day.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, there you go. Yeah, it had a brownie box in it then.
SPEAKER 08 :
That was pretty. Oh, yeah. My dad was telling me that one guy, one of the truckers he knew, was telling him that he could eat a sandwich, smoke a cigarette, and shift two sticks while stealing at the same time.
SPEAKER 05 :
Probably. That’s a feat. Thanks for the visual. I’ve watched some of those guys on YouTube do some of that, Soren.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. You know, it would be pretty good to even be able to shift two sticks at the same time.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes, you do. Yes, sir. And people don’t realize all of that, either double clutching or no clutch, depending upon the system. That’s right.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, it’s a lot easier to not clutch. Double clutching is one of the stupidest ideas ever.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yep. Yep. Well, they were made that way. You know, you do that in a car, you could end up with issues. But, yeah, that’s how they were made, as you know.
SPEAKER 08 :
These new trucks, though, shift at so low RPMs. I was looking. The new ones, you’re supposed to shift at 1,400 RPMs. Wow. Wow.
SPEAKER 05 :
How many do you still shift versus our automatics now?
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, a lot of places are automatic. If you don’t take your test in a manual, you can’t drive it.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m next to a lot of semis driving back and forth to here, and I can tell you, Soren, especially when I’m in town and there’s a semi next to me, there are very few guys shifting anymore because the majority, I can hear, they’re automatics.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, well, a lot of them are automated manuals.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
So… It’s still like a manual. You still can have control over it, but it’s all automated. Got it. So it’ll do everything for you.
SPEAKER 05 :
Got it.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s a little bit different than an automatic. Kind of interesting.
SPEAKER 05 :
Got it. Cool. Well, you get back to those pivots.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, Charlie was really worried about me. He said yesterday… Normally you call in on Fridays.
SPEAKER 05 :
It was Western Day.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, I didn’t even call in yesterday.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, you must have been busy.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, I had to go pick up a semi yesterday.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay. Well, there’s your answer. Yeah. Well, you keep up the good work, Soren. We appreciate you very much.
SPEAKER 08 :
Happy Father’s Day.
SPEAKER 05 :
Thank you, Soren. I appreciate that very much. Same to you and your dad and all of the folk on the farm there. All right, one last break. We’ll come right back. We’ve got lines open.

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 1 :
All right. All right. All right.
SPEAKER 05 :
And Charlie’s been playing Beach Boys most of the day today because of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys passing away this last week. So appreciate Charlie doing that. Those are great songs. Awesome songs. It was a great band back in the day, so I will say that. Kyle in Dallas, you’re up. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 15 :
Hey, how you doing today?
SPEAKER 05 :
We’re good, sir. Thanks for calling.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yeah. Hey, I just had a couple of things to add to the question of the day. My dad wasn’t around very much when I was growing up, so my granddad, fortunately, was a good role model. And a couple of things he taught me was use the right tool for the right application. I mean, don’t use a screwdriver for a chisel and don’t use a wrench for a hammer.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right.
SPEAKER 15 :
And another thing he taught me was, you know, at the end of the day, I think I’ve heard you talk about this, at the end of the job, Clean up your tools and put them back in the right place. That way they’ll be there for the next time you use them.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, nothing worse, especially when you’re a production technician, which I was for a long time, Kyle. Nothing worse than trying to keep everything organized and get to the next job when you hadn’t finished the last job because of what you’re saying. And then you apply that to home or wherever you’re doing it. It just makes everything for the next go around that much easier. Yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, I’ve done work with friends of mine that look in their toolbox and, oh, my gosh, you look in there and everything’s just thrown in there and it’s filthy and you can’t find anything. That kind of thing just drives me crazy.
SPEAKER 05 :
Really quick, just to dovetail into that, because this is a change in the last several years, for sure the last – decade the amount of now toolbox organizers that we did not have when I was young in the toolbox where you used to either have to keep the wrenches in the box they came in or you had to kind of lay them out and hopefully they stayed put the amount of organizers now for socket and wrenches and pliers and screwdrivers and I Everything, anything you can almost think of, Kyle, that is available today, oh, my word, can you organize a toolbox much better now than ever. Which is really cool. Yeah, way better than it’s ever been.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, back in the day, you had to buy a lot of that stuff from Snap-on or Matco.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 15 :
Now you can go into Home Depot and find just all kinds of organizers and toolboxes.
SPEAKER 05 :
Correct. It used to be, Kyle, in some cases we had to make our own because there just wasn’t anything back in the day that – that existed and it was really hard in some cases keeping all that stuff straight because you know as you know that you know a toolbox drawer is going in and out in and out in and out meaning that every time you do that something is shifting and man the organizers we have today are just they’re second to none
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, the last thing he taught me was, you know, when you’re working on something and you get frustrated with it and you can’t figure it out, he said, you know, you can look at a problem as an opportunity to not only persevere but to learn something. I mean, I remember so many times I would be working on something and I would get frustrated with it or I just didn’t know what the next step was and I would stand back. and just look at it, or maybe even just take a break and come back and stand there and just look at it. And then I would go down through the checklist through my head, and I would eventually figure it out. And that’s just a good method to use in repairs that you can even carry on to other things in life, is just slow down and think about something and just do it methodically.
SPEAKER 05 :
The other thing that mine taught, and I, of course, being a business owner and then dovetailing into a lot of that, Kyle, was along those same lines was if you can get me the actual schematics of how it’s built, not a repair manual, but just I want the drawing of how this thing is all put together and how all the parts fit in. You know, typically, Kyle, that’s enough to kind of tell you what direction you need to head to get something repaired. If I know the breakdown of it, I can pretty much tell you how it’s going to have to come apart and go back together.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, you know, just recently I had to replace a part on my refrigerator, so I called up Samsung to ask about the parts, and I asked them, I had them send me an exploded view of the door of my refrigerator because I can work off of an exploded view.
SPEAKER 05 :
Nice. Yep. I’m with you on that. That’s exactly. Makes sense. And I think for mechanically minded people where you’re used to doing some of that, that is in a lot of cases a really good hint as to what you need to do next.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah. Well, you have a good Father’s Day. I will.
SPEAKER 05 :
Good show, and talk to you later. Thank you very much, Kyle. I appreciate it, and we will plan on doing so. Some of you guys have got a few things that came in on, you know, what did Dad teach? If you need a tool, buy it. That’s what somebody said. My dad taught me everything I know, but not everything he knows. Ha, ha. Oh, that’s a good one, by the way. Others of you were commenting on even Soren’s point that you had to pass down your information to siblings. You kind of became the proxy, things along those lines. And again, dads teach each and every one of us something different. And again, as I said earlier, for a lot of you listening, and I’m sorry to say that not every – Dad is a great dad, and some of you guys had to be self-taught and learn on your own, or you had other mentors in your life. Some of you had grandfathers or stepdads or whatever the case may be. And all I can say is, and I had this conversation this past week on my daily program, you know what, guys? You can break that cycle. So some of you that are listening to where you may not have had great instruction from your dad, well, you know what? Break that cycle. And even if you don’t have kids, find a neighbor kid. Find somebody that you can have some influence on and break that cycle. Because what I also know, and this is why I do this program every week. I’ll just give you guys a little bit of insight here. I feel like… The more I’m giving and teaching, which is kind of what we do here on Drive Radio, the more I’m receiving. So like I said earlier, there’s a lot of you that you guys have been very complimentary today in telling us, you know, hey, I learn a lot. I listen to you guys. I appreciate it. Well, guess what? We do as well. There is never a week that goes by that I don’t go home with more knowledge from doing this show, from listening to all of you give us feedback, text messages, calling in, all those different things. There is never a week that goes by that I’m not smarter from doing this show because of all of you. And it’s not because of what I’m doing. It’s because of what all of you are doing. Right. 100%. What goes around comes around, and we find fun in the journey. Absolutely. So, again, Father’s Day tomorrow, I would encourage you guys, you know, spend some time. If Dad is still around, spend some time with him. If not, you know what? Spend some time with your own kids. If you don’t have your own kids, well, then just enjoy the day anyways. And, you know, everybody’s in a little different circumstance as far as that goes. But if your dad is around… Spend some time with them. Let them know you love them and you appreciate what they did. And again, what goes around, I’m a big believer in this, what goes around comes around. And what you’re dishing back out, what you’re giving, in my opinion, matters more than what we’re receiving. So just remember that tomorrow as you celebrate Father’s Day. So Pat, thank you again for coming down. I appreciate it very much. Hey, thanks for having us. Always a good time. Always a joy. Charlie Grimes, Larry Unger, you guys as well, thank you so much for what you do for us each and every week as well. And you guys, hey, enjoy the rest of your weekend. Happy Father’s Day tomorrow and Sunday. If you’re listening to Replay, it’s that same day. But thank you so much. We appreciate it. Have a great weekend. This is Drive Radio, KLZ 560.
