And we do welcome you to the CNC Auto Show, and I am Eric Clements, and I'm your driver today. Jump in, buckle up, and let's talk about cars.
And I'm here to answer your automotive questions and to share some tips on making and keeping your car safe, dependable, and long lasting. And it's hard to believe, but the school year is on its way. Back to school time is here.
Columbia County, August 4th. And last hour, Captain Gary Owens of the Columbia County Police School System was here with us and answering questions, and he's back. And we had a great time last hour. We not only talked about back to school safety, had a great time doing that, but we also talked about Corvettes. Gary is a Corvette fan, loves those, and he answered some Corvette questions. So with that, I'll say that if you have a question about your car truck or SUV, or if you have a question about back to school safety, or if you have a question about a Corvette, or actually he's good with a lot of other questions, you give us a call. We want you to join the show with us.
And that number is 800-224-9090. Gary, are we ready to crank this bad boy back up? We're all fueled up.
You've checked the air and the tires. Let's roll. Yep. We're ready to roll. Why don't we... We did have an answer to our last Tech Tip quiz, so I'm going to throw the other one out there just to be fair to the next callers, because one of them might call and ask a question. And if they knew about a Tech Tip quiz, they may want to give an answer to it.
So we'll do that before we go to the calls. And here is the question. Bill works in construction and drives a 2020 Chevrolet 1500 truck. He lives out in the country about 45 minutes away from the city. And he's found that consistently he gets better fuel mileage if he drives into town to go to the gym as opposed to if he's going to work. Seems like every... Well, it is.
Every time he drives to work during the weekdays, he gets worse gas mileage than he does if he drives to the gym. So if you know the answer, give us a call, and we will go straight over to Rebecca. Rebecca, welcome to the CNC Auto Show.
And what can we help you with? I got a 06 Nissan Sentra. And I was getting the front brake pads replaced. And my mechanic said one of the caliper brackets was... I don't know all the technical terms, but anyway, he couldn't get it off the bolt. Something was stuck.
He couldn't get it off. He said to get a new caliper bracket. Isn't it best just to replace the thing, the caliper and the bracket?
Yeah, those do freeze up sometime. In the braking system, the calipers get very hot, and the brake rotor gets very hot. And because of that, sometimes the bolts that hold them in, they almost get welded in there. So from time to time, you do have to replace a caliper. Now, there's a couple of things that we always do to try to prevent that.
And I'm sure he probably has already done these things. One is to spray them down good with PB Blaster. That PB Blaster will help seep into the areas that's freezing it up. And then we tap on it to move the seeping action along just a little bit.
And then we bump the bolts. Sometimes that'll free them up. Sometimes get them out. Sometimes heat.
Exactly. Now, the other thing that can be done is, from time to time, the inside of the caliper can freeze up. And that's the piston that pushes the brake pad out. And when it freezes inside there, all you can do is replace the caliper.
I normally, if one froze up, I normally go and recommend replacing both, because that way you got two freely actioned. And also, there's another item that can happen that can make it look like a frozen caliper, and that's frozen slide pins. They let the caliper kind of float as they're squeezing together. Picture a 10-speed bicycle standing on it and looking at your front brake thing, how the two little pieces kind of push against the front wheel.
Well, if one side of it was frozen, you'd only be pushing one of the items against it, and both of them wouldn't push together at the same time. So you'd have one brake pad worn out, or on a bicycle, it'd be one rubber pad, and the other's still good. That's why it's important when you replace the brakes, replace the brake hardware and there's some little boots and some slide pins with grease. And that ensures that it's going to be good for a long, long time and work well.
And what's good about it, it used to be you'd have to get those individually. Now Carlson Brakes has a kit called the Carlson Complete Brake Job Kit. And with that, all of those little parts are in there, plus rags and sandpaper and all the things you need to do to job. So it sounds like your technician, what they're telling you is accurate from everything that you're going through. And I would recommend going in and having all of that done, because of course you want the next set of brakes to last a good long time. And if you put them on with anything not working correctly, either they won't last long or they'll squeak and do a lot of other stuff. So yeah, all of that sounds accurate.
Get ready for the other side, do both, try to do both at the same time. Exactly. Just replace the capital first and the bracket.
Yes. Now more than likely you won't need but one bracket if that's the one that's froze up because the brackets are not something you replace all the time. Calipers, brake pads are more common doing a complete brake job with the hardware kit. But the next most common thing on the brakes is the rotors and the calipers. I was going to suggest that. Change your rotors too.
You're already at this point in the game, make everything fresh, make it all good. Yeah, they come in a kit also. And the good thing about doing brakes, if you do them correctly and all the things are changed like it should be now, calipers you don't have to replace them every time unless something's stuck. Brake brackets are a little bit rare because it's more something stuck in there.
But if everything's done correctly this time, you probably won't have to worry about front brakes for many, many years. Okay. Alrighty, I appreciate it. Oh, great call and I appreciate the question too.
And you have a wonderful day. And the number to call is 706-863-706-8635-800 or 800-224-9090. You give us a call and we will be ready and we will go over to Joe. Joe, welcome to the CNC Pro Show and what can we help you with? Hey, I want to answer the quiz. The quiz about the C1500 gas mileage is better on the way to the gym than it is on the way to work. Yes. Now we've got a few formalities to go through. First, I want to read the question real quick. Bill works in construction, rides a 2020 Chevy 1500.
He lives in the country about 45 minutes out from the city and he's found that consistently he gets better fuel mileage when he's driving into town to go to the gym as when he does when he's going to work. And we next, we need to put you on stage. So be still.
Okay. So you are now on stage and we are ready for the answer to today's Tech Tip quiz. And what is the answer? When he's going to the gym, he's running with a lighter load and lighter traffic. He has the equipment that he brings to his work. And obviously on those weekdays, he run into more weekday traffic as well. You know, that's a pretty good answer. Right, Gary? Yeah, because you're towing a trailer or have equipment for work or something like that.
Yeah, that does affect your fuel mileage. Yeah. And that's a close, but, oh, this is so hard to tell him this. That's not the answer. Oh, no, it's okay.
It's all right. That's a great answer though. It was a great answer. Just wasn't the answer. Hey, don't do that.
Now you're making him feel bad. I know. Hey, listen, that was a great answer and we appreciate it. And thank you. I can't make this thing stop. What do you do?
It won't quit. We appreciate you calling. Very nice of you. Have a great day.
Okay. We'll be brought back with more to CNC auto show. The CNC auto show is brought to you in part by Motorrad and their innovative thermostat cap and engine management solutions.

And we're back with you with the CNC auto show.
I'm here with captain Gary Owens of the Columbia counties district police. And if you want to ask a car question or a back to school question, a Corvette question, any of those we're ready for you. And wait, we still got a tech tip quiz. We still have a quiz laying around. That's right. We do.
Yeah. So I guess we're going to need to, we're going to need to have an answer to our tech tip quiz also. So if you get a chance to give us a call and join the fun, it's all the number 800-224-9090. That's on any Saturday morning, eight to five to 10 Eastern time. And you can also visit the CC auto show on ccautoshow.com. Just go there, pick out your favorite social media and click on it and you can watch or listen, whatever you want to do there. You can go to it.
Okay. We, uh, we have been talking about things to do with back to school safety, very important thing. And I would, um, I would say one of the questions that I, I should know, but I may not know completely is what do those blinking lights, uh, in the school zone mean? The obvious answer is it does indicate that the school times are started.
We're getting, it gives you an also an alert to slow down, be more vigilant because you know, this should be your cue that people are going to be walking beside the road. And also a note to parents too, is times get darker, make sure your children are wearing bright clothes or something reflective to help that great tip to help those. So, and that goes back to safety and in general, it's everybody's responsibility to be safe from the parent, the kid and everybody else. But the blinking lights indicate the school zones. You got to also know though, if a violation occurs in the school zone, it can pay a higher penance than a normal violation.
And that's something we don't get involved with because we'll pay enough for insurance now as it is. Right. But forbid that anything ever happens, just slow down in those schools. And then they'll indicate when it's ending and when they're beginning. And there's two sets of them in the morning and in the afternoon.
And just like I said, be very vigilant because that's going to give you indication. There's people walking, there's buses, sudden stops, people parked off on the side of the road. You've got to watch out for people pulling out from that or walking between cars. They'll just slow down, get those distractions away from you. And one of the great things about mentioning this now is that people are not used to seeing those because we've had the summertime and then all of a sudden, boom, it's like they're not being a stop sign at a certain point. And then all of a sudden there'll be a stop sign there and your mind's not fully aware of that yet. So keep in mind in the weeks to come, you're going to be driving and then all of a sudden you're going to have these blinking lights that you didn't see before. Exactly. And the buses are also going to start practicing their route. So you're going to start seeing buses riding around too. So just be vigilant for those. I just like to say, get up a little earlier. That was a great question earlier.
Get up a little earlier, spend more time. And if you start noticing, oh, I'm going through a school zone. If you have an alternate route and you're not involved in the school or pick up or drop off, then use an alternate route.
It relieves that congestion. And why is it important not to pass a car that's stopping? Let's say somebody stopped for a pedestrian to walk past. Pedestrian. Yeah, pedestrian. That's okay.
We got it. To walk past. And why is it important not to pass those other cars? Obviously they're going to be walking across the street. You may strike that person walking.
You can't see. Be patient. Again, it goes back to being patient.
Don't pass them. You know, how many times you've, it just goes back to what we call the good Samaritan law rule or whatever. Has he ever been somewhere and someone waves you out in traffic? You cannot control everybody else but your own actions, right? So if you're passing illegally, you know, you can't control what that kid's going to do. He's going to might walk out in front of you.
He may think that you're going to stop for them. You know, just don't, just take your time. Be patient. Get those distractions away from you. Take another sip of your coffee. Relax. You're going to make it.
You're going to be fine. That deal where people's waving you out to go ahead. I heard somebody tell me that's taking the bait. Well, yeah. That is a huge amount of accidents happening like that because people they can't control but one lane and they want to wave you out and you're like, Oh, I got it. And then the first thing that person says is, well, I was clear.
You weren't clear. And then the other car just drives off. Yeah. The person that waves never, the good Samaritan never stays.
Like, Oh, look what happened. Okay. Ready to go to the cost? Let's go. All right, let's do it. We will go over to, wait, let's see here. Let's go over to Joe.
Joe, welcome to the CNC auto show. And what can I help you with? Hey, I wanted to let you know, I apologize. I called one. So I'm trying a second time at the, um, at the, uh, detective quiz. We would love for you to call a second time. I think that is great because we're looking for an answer. We want an answer to this thing. And you were actually pretty close on close plus gave a pretty good tip last time.
So we will go back and cover everything again. Uh, bill works in construction, drives a 2020 Chevy truck. He lives out in the country about 45 minutes out.
Uh, he's found it consistently. He gets better gas mileage, uh, driving to town to go to the gym as he does when he's driving to town to go to work. And we're going to put you on stage and Joe, all eyes are on you.
What is the answer to today's tech tip quiz? The answer is on the way to work, he has a deadline and he has to be there. He's hurrying to be there on time. Whereas on the way to the gym, he has no particular time to be there. So he's able to baby the car also less stress.
Wow. That's a, that's a good idea also because it kind of fits in with what we're saying. And that is to leave early. I mean, if you leave a little bit early, you get there in a better mood. You're not rushed and in a hurry each day. And I've noticed that with myself, if I, if I leave and early, instead of trying to make all the traffic lights and instead me coming up to the traffic light and then having to wait on it to turn green and then shooting up to the next one and wait on it. And instead I make it a game of kind of timing the lights out. I said, Oh, I'm going to go.
That was red way down there. We'll go a little slow until I get there and you can have more fun with it. And Joe, what I'm trying to do is be real nice because it's, it's actually, that's not the answer.
And not many people, not many people have been able to take getting the button twice in one day. Is it you doing? Okay. I think I'm going to make it.
And I, um, I think I'll, I'll still be all right. I probably won't try again today. Let's try it again, Joe. If you think of another one, I would love for you to call again. So you don't hesitate to call. Oh, well, I thank you. I thank you for the multiple chances. We appreciate it very much.
Call as many times as you'd like. Okay. Wow. We're going to need to pull over for a little bit and we will be back on the road in no time with more of the CNC auto show. The CNC auto show is brought to you in part by Dorman products and their suspension lease spring. Another solution from Dorman. So speech and lease Springs will improve vehicle performance.
In addition to passenger comfort, learn more at Dorman products.com. And I'm here with captain Gary Owens of the Columbia County school system police. And if you have a car question or back to school question, Corvette question, any kind of question, all you got to do is call because we would love to hear from you. That number is 800-224-9090. That's every Saturday morning, 805 to 10 Eastern time. Just call and ask that question, join the show.
We've also got a tech tip quiz laying on the table on the table. Yeah. We would love for somebody to answer that. Yeah. And it's really not that, uh, it's really not that much of a tricky question. Um, actually it's, um, I believe somebody is going to get it. I think so. We might have to give a few hints. So coming up, you may start coughing again or something.
Nobody does. And we will go over to Joe. Welcome to the CNC auto show and what can we help you with? Hey, I figured out the tech. Oh, you got it. Third time's a charm. All right.
This has got to be it. He's got it. Okay. And bill works at construction drives a 2020 Chevy truck, and he lives about 45 minutes out of the city.
He's found that he consistently gets better gas mileage when he's driving into town to go to the gym as he does when he's driving to go into town for work. And we're going to put you on stage. Here we go. And Joe, what is the answer to the tech tip quiz?
I've got some confidence. I'm not absolutely confident, but I think that because of the construction job, when he goes into the construction job, he rides around the worksite while he's at work. Whereas when he goes to the, um, when he goes to the, um, the gym, he just parks and goes in and it's just sits there. And so he's getting extra mileage that he gets. He's not getting, uh, a lot more idle time when he goes to, uh, when he goes to work, getting in and out of the truck on the worksite and that type of thing. Then he, then he, then he, whereas when he goes to the gym, like I say, he just, he just, he just, it's all road miles and then then road miles back. Now, Joe, what, um, what's the difference in, in bill himself as opposed to when he's going to work and as, uh, and when he's going to the gym, what's the, does he do anything different? I think he's a little more stressed when he goes to work. Um, well, I mean, how is he dressed? Is he dressed any different? Yeah.
On work. He's got those big work boots on. Whoa.
Now, hold on, hold on, Bill Hall. Well, okay. Now with the work boots, it, now he's not using cruise control. So would it be that there have been studies actually done true studies out there that show that when a person cannot actually feel the pedal as much, that they would not be able to control the gas pedal as well. And they would tend to give it more gas and have to let off the gas and, and back and forth.
Is there, is that possible? Absolutely. Additionally, with a work boot, you may occasionally get the break in the gas at the same time causing even less efficiency. There we go. All right. Look at that.
Third time was a charm. You are absolutely right. When he goes to work, he's wearing work boots and cannot feel the pedal as well. And a thin shoe such as tennis shoes or just socks allow you to have more of a precise feel of the pedal pressure and have an instant fuel. If you have an instant fuel gauge, you can do this, drive with heavy shoes on and then drive with light shoes on, and you'll see better fuel mileage.
If you're, if you're not using cruise control, but you'll see better fuel mileage with the lighter touch shoes on. And Joe, we are so glad that you won that because we were looking for an answer to it. Want to tell you congratulations on winning that.
And of course you will win that coffee mug with the eye answer. You know, you started, you're just going to start something, you know, every, with the fuel costs today, everybody's going to be taking their work boots off, driving to work. You know that, right? Oh, you need to, yeah. Just drive with socks on and you'll do much better. Now, do you have any safety tips for us, Joe? You've did great on giving us a lot of things about ways to get better gas mileage. Any school safety tips that you want to share with us? Or something you do?
Mm-hmm. School safety tips. My wife is a teacher actually, and I guess, I think you guys have covered it pretty good with the being aware of the, of the people walking and, you know, to like slow down exactly the speed limit or less.
Oh, you just, something popped into my head, Joe, as you were talking. Let's, another tip, and Gary can kind of mention some, add to this, but being sure to hang back from those school buses a little bit. Don't, don't just get real close to them because they can stop very quickly and frequently and quickly.
More frequently and a lot quicker. And also, the bus driver, if you can't see them in their mirrors, they can't see you. It's like a big truck.
It's like an 18-wheeler. Give them more distance to turn. Be vigilant if they have to back up, maybe. You know, they're not, you know, they may have a situation where sometimes they have to back up.
Give them some room. Again, this all goes back to your alternate routes. Take some more time getting to work, maybe changing a route.
Mm-hmm. A quick tip for, for teen drivers also. If you've got a new teenager driving this year going to school, before school starts, why don't you get in the car with your teen driver and practice the route they're going to take. And also, maybe take alternate routes in case there's construction, an accident of some sort.
And then you get to see how they're driving too. Oh, great. Well, Joe, thank you very much for answering our Tech Tip quiz and joining in on a back to school tip. Third time. Yeah, we appreciate it.
Let's see what they got to see. Oh, wait, Joe, Joe, Joe. Joe. Oh, no. I'm telling you, I didn't mean to do that, Joe. I'm serious. I meant to do this. There we go.
He was kind of scared there for a minute. He's going to call back a fourth time. Yeah. And congratulations, Joe. We appreciate that very much. Thank you, Joe. All right. Okay.
The number to call is the number to call is 800-224-9090. If you got a question about your car, truck, or SUV, you give us a call and we will be ready to answer that question. And we, next question, what's some of the hazards that appear during the school system?
I mean, what type, what's some common things that you see? Well, let's talk about, first of all, people getting their cars ready for school. Oh, great idea.
Perfect. The time to check your windshield wipers is not when it's raining. You know, it's to check them before, and especially, again, with that young student driver, teach them how to operate the windshield wipers.
And a huge thing, this is very huge. All cars, or not all cars, have automatic headlights. When it's raining, turn your headlights on. Some of them you have to physically turn them on, because some of the new ones have, you know, the sensors and all that stuff. But just turn your headlights on. Trust me, the car will remind you when you turn it off and forget to turn them off.
You know, so that's huge as well. So that's a safety. You have to be seen as well as see other people as well. So turn those headlights on. Parents, check your kids, or even your own. Check your tire pressures.
Make sure everything in your car is working. The last thing you need is to have a car overheat because you're waiting in a car line. Oh, yeah.
You know? That would not be good. The kids wouldn't like that. And it's going to cause more delay. So and I want to encourage everyone, everyone knows this, when the first days of school is always the more congested, because everybody wants to take their kid to school, especially the younger ones. And nobody wants to deprive them of that right. And I think that's an amazing thing.
Just be patient, because everybody's doing this. And it's going to get, we're going to get through this as long as we're safe and make sure that everybody's doing what we need to do to get everybody there. That brings up a great question that I was just thinking. Is there a way that someone can find out what the procedure is to drop off, to pick up and all that procedure before the school starts? Every school has an open house. And all school districts have a website.
Engage with that website. And if you don't find the answers there, definitely on your open house night, go introduce yourself to the teachers and stuff there and find out the routes. And this is a good time for you to drive the route too, and see what hazards they may, you may, may entertain or what happens or what goes on.
So, and also you can also engage, like I said, with the school board itself and call them for any specific questions, call transportation or call, or just call the school directly. It's saving, uh, spending that just a couple of minutes, having that conversation may save you a lot of time throughout the year, knowing something just a little bit different. And you were talking about the maintenance, uh, also batteries. You don't want to be in line and, and you cut your car off to wait until, uh, now you gotta get jumped off or towed or something like that. Yeah. It causes more delay for everybody else. Exactly.
So there's a lot of things that you can do to prevent problems on the first day and every day after that. Okay. We are, we need to pull over for just a second, but we will be back on the road in no time with more of the CNC auto show.
Right. The CNC auto show is brought to you in part by Behrman products and their total engine tune up, clean your fuel system and improve fuel efficiency. Learn more at Behrman products.com and we are back with you with the CNC auto show. Uh, just give us call 800-224-9090 any Saturday morning, 805 to 10. And we're going to go straight to, let's go straight over to John. John, welcome to the CNC auto show.
And what can we help you with? Hey Aaron, I just got a real quick, uh, safety tip, checking your lights and everything. Oh, excellent. That way people can see you coming and that includes kids in school buses. And your brake lights. When you go home in the evening.
Yeah. And when you go home in the evening, uh, do not open your garage door yet. Just pull up close to it and turn on your lights, your blakers, your flashers, everything. You reflect in the door and you can see if anything is not working.
That's right. And you'd back up to your door and do the same thing. You can check your brake lights and all that stuff.
I got a guest. He's driving about two minutes and you checked all your lights. Gary was asking if you drove a truck for a living because that's what, uh, that's an important thing that they do a lot of times. Also. Excellent.
Good job. Yeah. Cause you never checked your own brake lights.
No, I got my red Durango, Aaron. Uh, John, one of the things also with your saying that kind of goes hand in hand with something Gary mentioned a little bit earlier, uh, it won't be a long period of time before we will be driving in more darkness. That's right. And according to statistics, uh, if I'm not mistaken, the chances of, uh, terrible accidents go up a huge amount when the sun goes down. That's right.
When your visibility is diminished, obviously, you know, by the weather or even the weather can cause diminished visibility. It's just take more time. And you're great. Great question too. Great tip. Get those lights checked. How many times do you check your blinkers? We don't.
Sometimes it's crazy. I'll back up to a window or something or a glass pane. We like to do a store and see and check my blinkers. Be like, why is this guy doing his blinkers in the parking lot?
Cause I can see him in my garage. I have a mirror in the back. When I'm back, I check all my blinkers. That's excellent. And I check him and I make sure my blinkers are working because last thing I'll just get hit in the back end because your brake lights weren't working.
Well, how did I know? I imagine what would you see in a, you've probably seen a fair amount of accidents. 90% of the accidents are all, I say all, most of the rear enders rear end collisions and almost all of them is because of distraction. People aren't paying attention. They're got their mindset on something else. Usually that little electronical device in their lap, you know, whatever they're doing.
Just be careful. There's a cell phone or in some cases a video player. Oh yeah. Yeah.
People watching movies instead of watching movies going down there. And we were talking, just mentioned one more time, what you mentioned about a distracted driving the length of time. So think of this really quick. If you're driving at 55 miles an hour and you decide to take a look at your phone about three seconds away, that gives you a length of a football field that you're driving down the road.
So all of you in this area here in the Columbia County Grovetown area, excuse me, Richmond County area, think about this Washington road, busy traffic and you're driving 55. Close your eyes for three seconds. Please don't do that.
Think about the carnage and stuff that you're going to cause. And would you say that it would be a very good idea for those parents who have teenage drivers who may not be aware of that, of how easy something can happen when you distracted like that. And parents, I encourage you, if you don't have already done so, put these apps on your students' phones.
So not only can you track where they're going and you're not going to keep track of their speed and make sure that they're safe. And I know you want to call them 15 times to make sure they got there okay, but that's going to encourage them to answer their phones. So have a plan about when you call me when you don't and have, what is it, Life360 stuff like that on your phone, just so you can check and make sure it's okay. All right.
Well, John, you didn't know you were going to open up a whole box of back to school safety tips. Thank you, John. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. You're welcome. All right.
Okay. The number to call is 800-224-9090. Give us a call. We'll go straight over to Flo.
Flo, welcome to the CNC auto show and what can we help you with? Uh-oh. Hello? There she is.
Yes. Hello, Flo. And what can we help you with today? I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my car.
Well, we're going to try to help you. Gary's here with me and together we will let you know what's wrong with your car. What's it doing?
It all of a sudden, out of the blue, just started making this horrible scrubbing sound from the underneath, from the underside of it. Okay. Now, do you have to mash the brakes for it to make, or you just hear that when the car is moving?
No. It's all the time. When the car is moving.
Okay. Anytime the car is moving. Now, Gary, what did you say it might be? It just all of a sudden happened. All of a sudden.
I got an idea, but I'm going to see what your idea is first and then I'll get my idea. It does it all the time. So, is that the plastic that goes in the inner fender to be rubbing, you know, it's like, have you bumped a curb or maybe hit something lightly and move that plastic a little bit? Is it do it in reverse and forward?
Now, mine kind of goes hand in hand with what yours is. Uh, let's say that somebody did an oil change on your vehicle and you got this splash pan that's made of plastic under the bottom and you got to remove that splash pan to make it to where you can drive the vehicle. Maybe that splash pan wasn't attached. The wind got under it and whoosh, all of a sudden you're hearing a noise.
Have you looked under the vehicle flow to see if you see anything that might be touching the ground? No, sir. I was driving down Bobby Jones when it started making that noise. I'm glad you didn't. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you didn't look because you saying that you hadn't made me look good.
I mean, real good. That makes it sound like that might be in everybody's mind right now. They said, Oh, that might be.
But I got, I got a confession to make. It was, it was making this horrible noise and I was thinking, I got to get it off this road. So I thought, where's the closest place I can take it. And I said, well, CNC is right down there. I took it to CNC, but I hadn't heard from him. He's like, what's wrong with it? And I need to know what's wrong with it. So I need to know how much money I got to get to get it fixed. Well, I tell you what, I'm going to make some phone calls on that one, because you should know what's wrong with that car. So we're going to find out.
So, Flo, you can give me a call Monday and you can just call the downtown and they probably know, but we will find out. We get to the bottom of this flow. Those guys up there are awesome guys and girls up there.
They're awesome. I know that, but I'm just going to pinch him. You want to know what's wrong with your car?
That's what it is. All right. Well, we will find out what's wrong with the car.
So they'll know how much money to give me. Exactly. Well, Flo, thank you very much for your call. And I'm very interested to know what's wrong with your car.
So next week you can update us on, on what they found. Okay. All right.
Sounds good. All right. Hey, thank you for appreciate it. Oh, we appreciate it.
Okay. The number to call 800-224-9090. Got a question about your car, truck or SUV. You give us a call and we will shoot over to Wesley. Wesley, welcome to the CNC auto show. We've got about a minute and a half.
What can we help with? Good morning. I got a, uh, 2012 Ford F-250 super duty at the diesel in it. It is a four wheel drive. I've started getting an issue, uh, where it comes up.
It is hill descent control fault and service advanced track. Um, got a few, um, a few of the codes that it's throwing. If you, uh, if you think that would help.
Um, yeah, let me get the codes real quick. Okay. Um, let's see, like, uh, the first one is a C 0 0 6 one says a lateral acceleration sensor. Okay. D 0 0 6 3 says a y'all rate sensor. Okay.
The 0 0 6 2, a longitudinal acceleration sensor, um, 0 0 6 4 roll rate sensor. Okay. I can tell you what I'd recommend do. And, uh, right now you got multiple codes.
Of course. Uh, what I would recommend doing is recording every one of those codes and then clear the codes and then drive the vehicle and see which ones come back because there'll be your most important codes. I will tell you that we've had a lot of problems with the, well, two things I've run into some of those where the bright pedal sensor can cause or the, um, bright switch can cause a lot of problems. So make sure your bright lights are looking good, but also the more common thing is I see is the throttle, uh, throttle sensor, which comes in a throttle body assembly.
Those go bad and they give faulty readings and they can, they can give some problems. So I'm leaning toward in the end you having that, but it's a little, it's, it's a part you want to have tested before you do it, but we are running on E and we do need to pull over, uh, and need to pull over for now, but we will be back on road. No time. I'm your host Aaron Clements, our show producers, Mason Rogers and Anthony Manzino, right?
No, I got it wrong too. All right. We got Anthony here. We call him ants here. Thank you again, captain Gary Owens for being here and sharing back to school safety tips. And we'll be back more with later with more to see.
