Live from the Car Care Studios, it's the CNC Auto Show with your personal on-air and online automotive service advisors, Aaron Clements and John Ryan Mooney. So climb in, buckle up, and enjoy the ride on the CNC Auto Show. And we do welcome you to the CNC Auto Show and we're here to share information on ways to make your car trucker be safer and more dependable to make it last longer for less money and less hassle. And we will answer those questions. We'll also be giving you some information having to do with automotive issues that may arise.
And this is a special show. We have managing director and CEO of K-SIL International, Mike Schlupp. He will be joining us on the line. So that means we have everything we need. But you, you need to give us a call.
800-224-9090 or 706-863-5800 Saturday mornings, 805 to 10 Eastern. And you can also watch us live at ccautoshow.com. And John, Ryan, we were talking to Ed. I mean, no, we were not talking to Ed.
We were pretending to. We're getting ready to talk to Ed. Ed, welcome to the CNC Auto Show.
Hello, gentlemen. I know that we're talking at one point about what to do if you are heading down the highway and you lose your main brakes and everything and how you can safely bring your vehicle to a stop and the discussion went to using the emergency brake and everything. And there's the foot actuated emergency brake and then there's the low handle between the seats that, you know, you can use to actuate the emergency brake. But some of these new vehicles I've seen, they have a button. They have a little electronic button. You just push the button. And if you're going down the road and you lose your brakes, that button isn't it kind of all or none? And isn't that going to cause some excitement at 60 miles an hour?
That's a great question. You're talking about the person that you've seen that was sitting in front of their car and the windshield was gone? Right. No, Ed, you're exactly right.
That would definitely be a pretty exciting ride. However, I guess unfortunately, that wouldn't be the option, you know, if your brakes did fail. Because to be honest with you, if it sees any vehicle speed at all, it just simply won't work. So that's kind of your out of luck button, really.
Because like I said, if it sees any vehicle speed, even if you're in a parking lot at two miles an hour and you hit one of those buttons, you know, unfortunately they don't work. So at that point you kind of are back to square one. I would recommend on that one and do this slowly. I wouldn't automatically just shift it down to one, drive one.
But I would slowly start downshifting, of course, let off the gas and then shift it down one gear, another gear, another gear until you get a lot slower speed and then stick your foot out. The kind of crazy thing is, though, if it has electronic parking brake, it's probably electronically shifted too. You know, many vehicles are, not all of them.
So even that's a little tricky. But the other reality of it is brakes just don't fail that way anymore. There's too many systems that kind of make it to where brakes, you will always have some brake.
But I do want to mention something because, of course, this is starting a new hour on the show. So we want to make sure that everyone knows we're talking about automotive issues. And what we were discussing was in a previous hour, we had discussed what would happen if your brakes were to go out. Ed's bringing up a very good point that because we had mentioned hitting the emergency brake and downshifting and all these other things.
And very good point, for instance, most Jaguars. So, Ed, what we're hoping for is others will call in also and maybe come up with a solution and we'll have our team of experts that are gathered around a huge, they're in a huge room and they're passing a note off to them now to locate what to do on a vehicle with an electronic emergency brake if your regular brake pedals was to just go boom. So one other thing I wanted to mention on that, Aaron, is that the emergency brakes, they're great, except for most of them only apply braking to typically it's one rear wheel. So if you're you're heading down the road and it's a little bit slick and you start applying that brake, if it's slick, you're you're going for a ride. Well, it's usually two rear wheels.
It normally always activates both rear wheels on most all vehicles that I know of. But still, you have a good point there. What if the road is very slick? Yeah, but, you know, at the same time, like if it's all you got, you know, you probably should use it. Good point. But Ed, we're hoping that others will be calling in and others may have an idea what to do if you have an electronic brake.
Kind of worried about these accident statements that are going to say, well, CNC said to apply the emergency brake. Yeah. Now, we're not saying anything.
Ed said it. Great topic that you bring up there. So maybe we'll get some more ideas on that. We appreciate it. You guys have a good day.
You do also. OK, we have a person here with a... You need to re-detect it. Yeah. Yes, we will go to... Let's go to Del. Del, welcome to the CNC Auto Show.
You need to re-detect it. Oh. Well, we had an answer to our tech tip quiz.
Del, welcome to the CNC Auto Show and what can we help you with? Well, I guess according to what I'm hearing, I'm hearing a different show on the phone than I am on my radio. Yes, and I was going to mention that. That gives me an opportunity to mention something. Del, we have been very, very fortunate in some areas to be able to play in a lot of other areas.
The tricky part is some of them are playing live and some of them are not playing live. So that does create a little bit of an issue with our tech tip quiz. What was the question that you had and we will...
The question I heard on the radio was Susan with her 2015 Ford and she got a surprise at the end of the fiscal year and it cost her $1500. Oh, yes. Well, we do know the answer to that and first, if you would, let me know what area that you're from. I'm in Iowa.
I'm in Northwest Iowa. Fantastic. Well, I want to tell you we... I listen from 7 o'clock till 9 o'clock on WNAX out of Yankton, South Dakota. That's what I was hoping that you would do, give the station number because we really do appreciate them playing the CNC Auto Show and we appreciate you calling in. And I do know the answer to that tech tip quiz. So what is your answer?
Hold on, we need to put you on stage. And Dale, what is the answer to that tech tip quiz? My guess is she found out it was an aluminum body and it cost her more insurance. Because 2015 was the first year that Ford went to the aluminum body pickups. That's a good guess though.
Yeah, that was a good shot. Hey, Dale, that was not the answer, but we really do appreciate you calling in and thank you for listening very much to the CNC Auto Show. Okay, Aaron, is there a way I can find out the answers?
I was going to say he could, of course, keep listening. Do I have to go on your website? Yes, I will put that answer to that at ccautoshow.com.
No, I'll tell you what, I'm going to put that on our Facebook, CNC Auto Show on the Facebook page. Alright, and if it comes on the radio that the one I'm listening to, then I'll hear it. Alright, thanks guys. Hey, thank you very much. We appreciate that.
That is a wonderful thing. We have a few little areas that we need to work on there having to do with the tech tip quiz. Okay, number to call 706-863-5800. And if you have a question about your car, truck or SUV, you give us a call and we will be back with more tips to answer more automotive questions. And we'll be talking to Earl and John and others as soon as we return with the CNC Auto Show. You can hear by the beastly introduction it's time for a new feature from our friends at Behrman where we ask Behrman Kim Tooler to help answer driver questions.
Mo recently asked about his modified 2015 Subaru STI with 43,000 miles. He's dealing with a rough idle and looking to use either Behrman B12 Kim Tool fuel injector cleaner or Behrman B60 high mileage fuel system rejuvenator. Well, Mo, according to the Behrman Kim Tooler, your vehicle has not quite reached a high mileage threshold of 60,000 miles. So start off with a can of Behrman B12 Kim Tool fuel injector cleaner as this should resolve your rough idle.
Then use a can with every third tank full for maintenance. Once you reach 60,000 miles, the Kim Tooler recommends a can of B60 high mileage fuel system rejuvenator every 3 to 4,000 miles while continuing to add to B12 every third tank full. Drive to BehrmanProducts.com for more information about Behrman B12 Kim Tool fuel injector cleaner, Behrman B60 high mileage oil system rejuvenator and other great Behrman products. Let's head back down to the Car Care Studio with Airman Clements and John Ryan Mooney. The CNC Auto Show is brought to you in part by Blaster Corporation, the makers of PB Blaster for breaking free rusted parts.
Remember to always use blaster products and work it like a pro. And if you have a question, give us a call. 800-224-9890. Where are we going? Next up is Earl.
Fantastic. Earl, welcome to the CNC Auto Show. And what can we help you with? Hey, I had called earlier and got cut off.
Earl, if it's okay, I might stage this up real quick. You had an 08 Yukon and you had a couple of problems. And one had to do with some electrical issues having to do with the solenoid. Another had to do with the cruise control.
And one had to do with the transmission having a shutter feel at times, if I'm not mistaken on deceleration. Is that correct? Correct. Okay.
Earl, I'm actually glad you called back because I gave it a little bit more thought. And with you saying that it's doing it more on deceleration, it makes me think, of course it could be the torque converter, but I will say that you didn't mention one of the things that's more common. When it does the shutter, this vehicle never does stall, does it?
It just keeps running? Yeah. Like when you get all the way to zero, like you're sitting there at a traffic light? Yes.
Okay. So the ones that normally stick when the converter stays locked in, of course it's like the transmission is still pulling. So many times when you slow it down all the way at a traffic light, of course it'll stall off. So that was a piece of information definitely missing.
That actually kind of changes my mind a little bit on it. So are you aware that that vehicle cuts down to four cylinders at certain stipulations? Yeah. So do you know that you can see the PID or the information on the DIC, the driver instrument cluster? Yeah, the dual management system.
Right. Have you noticed, or if you could take notice of it, when we normally feel that vibration and shutter at slow speeds like that, it's still in four-cylinder mode, and of course then all of a sudden it goes completely away and it's back to eight cylinders because it's at idle. You go drive, you do it again, it does it. I know you mentioned that when you put it in neutral it goes immediately away, which it would because it would go into eight-cylinder mode. So the only thing that I guess my suggestion was put it to where you can see when it's in V4 or V8 and see if that vibration, when you come to a stop, of course it'll be in V4, and you'll watch. I don't want to bet, but I would say I think what you'll find is that it'll be in V4, you'll feel that vibration, you'll feel the vibration, and then all of a sudden the vibration will be gone and it'll immediately switch to V8. Had you had a chance to notice that by any chance?
Okay. I've actually looked at the V4, V8 before, when it's coming and going, but I've never actually tried to tie those two together. Yeah, look at it really, really close because I completely forgot when I guess I had a chance to think about it a little bit more. When you said O8, that's kind of what clicked in my mind because normally those torque converters, if they stay engaged, of course it does stall, and the other scenario they have is at about 40 to 43, 45 miles an hour, you'll feel that washboard feeling, but that's normally when the torque converter shutters. So if it's doing it in V4, I mean GM's always had a problem with those ever since they came out, but what happens is as the vehicle ages and gets more mileage on it, things like the engine mount and the transmission mount begin to settle. So now you feel that vibration way more than ever, and I guess ultimately where I'm headed with this is if that does turn out to be the problem, there's no harm in putting, I mean they make them for about $200 a programmer to turn V4 off, because I think in the early stages, especially the O8 to 10, really that system didn't really benefit the fuel economy, the driveability and all that, and you'd be surprised, quite a few that I know of that we've actually disabled, actually got better fuel economy running on full eight cylinders, so there is that option. If you can tie those two together, I do feel like it's because of course the lifters are collapsed and it's in four cylinder mode, and you're feeling that, I don't want to say transmission, but the vehicle picking back up on eight cylinders. If you're bored, we're on the radio for another 45 minutes, go take it around the block and see what it does.
Give us a call back. Okay, let me ask you one other question about the electrical. With the multiple problems that I'm having, could it be the BCM? It could be, but I'll be honest, I don't think I personally have ever replaced one of those. The earlier generation, like from 98 to, well, honestly from, yeah, I would say the earlier generation, from about 2000 to 2003, that's an older style BCM. We did a bunch of those, but that one that you've got, honestly, I can't say I've ever put one in. But again, I know you said you had a scan tool that you can scan. You may get a fairly complicated scan tool or spend the money diagnosing it, and it might actually have a history code in there for a circuit loss on the master switch that controls a lot of that stuff.
So having the right tools to go into the BCM so that it can talk to it, because your typical engine computer scan won't look at the body control module at all. Okay. Try the V4 thing now.
I think it's going to match up with you. All right, I appreciate it, guys. Thank you all.
No problem. We thank you very much, and we will be going to a guest when we return from the item, and then when we return after the guest, then we'll be going to John and Bill. And so coming up on the next segment there, we will have the managing director and CEO of K-Seal International, Mike Schlump, to discuss the benefits of K-Seal products. That's going to be a very interesting conversation.
I look forward to talking to him, and we'll do that. And also, we'll have more tips on what to do in certain situations. All that and more when we return with the CNC Auto Show. We have another repair spotlight from O'Reilly Auto Parts.
Longtime customer Miss Davis came in with her 2016 Chevrolet Equinox that had 112,000 miles on it. Her concern was that after she decelerated from highway speeds, the check engine light would come on. The engine would run rough and then cut off. We ran several tests and discovered that the variable cam timing solenoids were sticking.
We also discovered that the spark plugs were original. We recommended variable cam timing solenoids, a maintenance tune-up, and induction service. We called Miss Davis and told her our recommendations, and along with an estimate for repairs.
Her only question was, how fast can you get it done? She needed her car. We called O'Reilly Auto Parts, and yes, they had all the parts in stock.
We jumped right on it and had Miss Davis on the road the very next day. We completed the repair and the car ran great thanks to good equipment, good technicians, and O'Reilly Auto Parts. If you need good parts fast, get O'Reilly Auto Parts. Better parts, better prices, every day.
It's time for more good stuff with Airman Clements and John Ryan Mooney. And you are about to hear from a very special guest, Mike Schlupp, Manager, Director, Managing Director and CEO of KCL International is here with us. And following a career in international sales and marketing, Mike launched KCL back in 2003 as the first ever ceramic multipurpose permanent coolant leak repair. And it's made in the USA.
KCL has since sold millions of bottles worldwide and is the preferred choice of many professional technicians and motorists in the USA and also around the world. Mike, welcome to the CNC Auto Show. Yeah. Hello. Thank you for having me.
Thank you. Well, thank you for being here. And Mike, where are you calling from?
I'm calling from England all the way across the pond. But one of the modern technology connecting us here as if I was sitting next to you. Well, that is wonderful. I had the opportunity to go there many years ago and it was something that I really enjoyed. Actually, I was in the Air Force and I visited an air base called, I still remember the name. I don't know where it is in relation to England, but it was called Coltishaw. I spent a month there and really had a good time.
It was a wonderful experience for me and I appreciate that. Mike, one of the questions that I wanted to ask you about as we were talking about KCL, coolant system leaks have gotten much more complicated than ever before with today's technology driven cars. Can using a stop leak product take the place of an automotive repair?
Well, of course, the answer is yes. I mean, the fundamentals of a water cooled engine remain largely unchanged from, you know, cars 100 years to modern day cars, water, coolant flows around the engine, takes the heat away back to the radiator and so on. So a stop leak would work just as well in a modern car and an old or an older engine. And it really comes down to the situation, you know, the motorist situation. They may be looking at a bill for hundreds or even thousands of dollars and they're looking at their vehicle, which is maybe not worth that much. And that's when a stop leak is the perfect solution when you just need to get your vehicle back on the road for just a few dollars instead of hundreds.
And that's, yeah, that's the ideal situation for a coolant stop leak product. And Mike, that was the situation I was faced with. And it hadn't been that terribly long ago, but we had a gentleman here.
We're near some dental schools and some in medical college. And there was a gentleman there. He was getting ready to graduate in a couple of months and he had a vehicle there. He had a family and it was a Buick of some Buick SUV.
I don't I don't really remember the details on it, but this vehicle had a blown head gasket. And he just did was not able to get one at that time because he was still in school getting close, but still in school. But he asked about options in the car.
In that case, wasn't really worth doing head gaskets on. And he just needed a little bit more time. And that that's exactly what it did. That turned out to be a good option for that gentleman. So I know exactly what you're talking about when you mentioned buying a little bit more time. Can you touch on some of the ceramic technology and why is it better than what was in the past?
Yes. Yeah, the traditional stop leak products would use plant based ingredients, something ground down that sort of floats around and plugs your leak until you can get home. But then you still have to get the car into the shop and get it fixed. With Caseal, we have we introduced ceramic microfibers plus some other secret ingredients. And these microfibers embed themselves in the repair and actually cure to make that repair permanent. So now not only does the stop leak just fix that leak, but it fixes it permanently so you can keep on motoring without any worries. And that's that's the big difference with ceramic technology. And does this work on larger engines and smaller engines?
Yes, absolutely. The the principle of fixing a leak is the same. And we fixed leaks on anything from motorcycles right up to diesel locomotives.
So the capacity of the system is is the only difference. Fixing a leak is is exactly the same on all water cooled engines. Now, one of the things that I had run into before when using products like that, like if someone had a leak of some kind, was it would clog up the radiator or the heater core.
Is this safe for those those items? Yes, indeed. That that is a concern for a lot of people looking at a stop leak product. So Caseal is specifically engineered to seal a leak or a hole up to a maximum of one thirty second of an inch. Now, that's that's sounds pretty small. But if you had a leak that size, you'd be losing coolant at a rapid rate.
Yes. But anything bigger Caseal and the particles in it, it will just flow through flow freely through. So there's some tests, some ASTM tests and standards that we we have to meet.
And Caseal does. And so it'll seal the leak where it has to, but safely flow freely through even the narrowest waterways of even modern engines. So that includes the radiator and the heater core. And also it won't wear or damage any of the components like the water pump or the thermostat within the engine as well.
So it's yeah, it's it's all down to the engineering. Mike, we had a customer and this was probably a couple of months ago also. And he loves he loves Crown Vicks. As a matter of fact, he I talked to him. He calls here from time to time and we talk and he has different questions because he just loves these Crown Vicks. And he went to visit his brother in New Jersey with one of these Crown Vicks a good while back. And his brother had told him about Caseal. And since then, he has kept Caseal in his car. And sure enough, I think with one of these Crown Vicks that he had bought, he ran into that issue. He he kept it for an emergency use. And he did have an issue with a radiator while he was on the road.
So he used a Caseal and it made it where he could get the vehicle back home. So it could be a good thing for an emergency type situation also. Absolutely. Yeah. Keep keep a bottle of Caseal in your glove box or in the trunk. And if it's not you, then you can help a friend or a fellow motorist.
You never know. Yeah. And what's the repair that you're most proud of? Well, for that one, I'd say I mean, there's been a lot, but for that one, I'd say the 1913 Type 22 Bugatti.
This was amazing. This guy, he wrote to us. He was so happy that we fixed his leak. This is the, by all accounts, the oldest running Bugatti in the US. In fact, it was featured on the Jay Leno's garage show.
He did a whole show on it. This car is, I don't know, it's priceless and it's very rare, but you can't get spare parts for it. And he had a problem with with the block and coolant leak. So he got Caseal Ultimate head gasket repair, used that on the vehicle, fixed the leak. And he's got this this amazing car back on the road. And he sent us a photo of it as well. It's just a stunning car. I mean, you can check out the Jay Leno episode.
It's online. So, yeah, we were just, you know, so pleased, so honored that he chose Caseal for his pride and joy. That was a great story. And Mike, we have a we have about a minute, but I want to ask you two questions. And this is something I love to ask people.
Where can listeners go to get more information on Caseal? And I also want to ask you, what is your favorite card that you've ever owned? Right.
OK, well, the first question, yeah, you can go to our website, which is www.caseal.com or you can check out our great reviews on our product on trustpilot.com. And yeah, my the best car. And I said, well, I still have it. It's a Lotus Elise, which is the little two seater fiberglass sports car. Brilliant, simple car, small engine, lightweight, no fancy electronics on it or anything like that.
And just handled like it's on rails. So much fun. The best the best I've ever had in a car. Those are beautiful cars. That's my go to.
Yeah. Mike, I want to say thank you very much for joining us for the CNC Auto Show. It has been a real pleasure to have the opportunity to talk with you. And thank you, Mike.
OK, let's take a quick break. Number to call 706-863-5800 or 1-800-224-9090 and we'll be right back after these messages. Welcome back to more of the CNC Auto Show with Aaron Clements and John Ryan Mooney. And we welcome you back to the CNC Auto Show.
That was that was great. Have an opportunity to talk to Mike from Casell. And great information, great product.
And we appreciate that very much. And the number to call is 800-224-9090. And who will we be talking to next?
Let's see. Steve's up next. Hello, Steve. And welcome to the CNC Auto Show. And what can we help you with? Good morning, gentlemen. I have a 2006 Buick LaCrosse that has a little transmission issue I want to talk to you about.
Absolutely. We're here for you. Probably 10 years ago, one rainy night, I'd run an errand when I was on my way home and it started hard shifting. I got home, cut it off the next day, ran perfect. Didn't happen again for about another year. And this went on for a number of years, maybe every four to six months.
It would happen in the middle of a trip somewhere. The next time I started it up, it would run normally. A few months ago, I had a transmission fluid exchange and the hard shifting has accelerated since then. Now, every time I start the car up and go somewhere, it shifts perfectly normal for part of the trip. But somewhere along the way, generally, it will start hard shifting. I'm wondering if I have a speed sensor issue or a solenoid issue or some other issue that you can put your finger on. Steve, how many miles are on it? About 160.
Not terrible. Those vehicles actually did kind of exhibit that problem. I would say somewhere in the 80,000 to 120,000 mile range. We had a lot of those transmissions, of course, of that time. The most common reason why it will shift hard intermittently like that is that transmission is a fairly smart transmission. Of course, there's a lot of sensors like you mentioned that, of course, are inputs to it. So if it has the inputs, then it can kind of calculate what you need of it. And of course, it makes the shifts pretty much match what you need. So shift pressure, that does have what's called tap, which is transmission adaptation pressures. And it's a recorded value inside the vehicle's computer of how much pressure it took to change the transmission gear ratio or gear range.
And of course, how long it took. Now GM still uses that method of controlling a transmission. And there are parameters that if it sees and doesn't agree with, it can actually put into another program to where it will actually shift very firm to somewhat protect the transmission from any kind of danger. Whether it be if it sees a shift that took too long, it will actually boost the line pressure so that it shifts quicker. And then that's when you start to feel those firmer shifts.
So with that being said, those transmissions, they were very good transmissions, but did have some, I guess, what you would consider drivability concerns, just like what you're mentioning. When it started doing that, how long ago? I know you said, obviously, some time ago, roughly mileage-wise, how long ago? Well, 10 years ago, I bought the car with 8,400 miles on it when it was less than a year old. I've had it virtually its whole life, and probably puts on about 11,000 a year. So go back quite some time then.
Well, around 10 years ago, you're probably looking in the 60,000 area when it very first happened. A scan tool, especially on that particular year range, it would have been the Tech II, the factory scan tool. Many scan tools that you plug up to it today to see if there's any codes in there are unfortunately going to say, nope, no codes, it passes, everything's fine. Now, if you were to put the factory scan tool in there, there's a parameter that a technician can look at, and it is the transmission adaptation pressures. It's kind of the history report of what's been going on in that transmission. And if they see those numbers high, or if they see the shifts taking too long, like I said, it will ferment up the shifts and, of course, shift a little bit differently.
But there's also a parameter in there, a special functions test, that will allow you to reset those to zero. So I guess where I'm going with this is you did just have it serviced, and now it seems to do it a little bit more frequently, which doesn't necessarily mean it could be an internal transmission problem. But what I would suggest is carrying it to a shop that has the ability to, of course, reset the transmission adaptations. You could do two things. You could just simply ask for that. Can I get my transmission adaptations reset, tell them what you're trying to do?
And, of course, they would do that. Or, of course, spend a little bit more money, and you could have them diagnose it, make sure all the inputs are correct, make sure there's no transmission codes. Because the one that pops in my mind is, I believe it's an 1870, which is transmission adaptation max reset, which means that it pretty much frequently sees that it's having to command the line pressure all the way up to pretty much make it shift. And when that code's in there, there's a few things you can do to check, but it does typically mean a transmission with higher mileage on it.
So I think the next step for you would be either diagnostics or to reset the transmission adaptations, and you drive it yourself and, of course, see how it does. But I do feel like that's going to be your concern. All right. I am a customer of yours.
Is that something you have the capability to do? Oh, absolutely. Yes, sir. All right. Great. I do have one other issue if I have time to discuss.
Yeah, go ahead. I took my car to another shop with a power steering leak and had the power steering pump and rack and pinion replaced and the tie rod replaced, and the leak continued. And the new aftermarket pump squealed, whined, and so I took it back. They said that pump was defective, replaced it. The second one whined.
I took it back again. They went to the local dealer, got the dealer part, put it in, and the whining stopped, but the leak continued. They looked at it and determined that it had blown the seal in the pump. Now they've put three Buick pumps in there, and they've all leaked. They've all blown the seal. Steve, do you know if it's leaking on the shaft seal? I'm thinking there's got to be a blockage somewhere or some other issue that they have not found. Do you have any ideas on that?
Yeah, I believe you're on the right track. Did they say what seal is blown? Is it the shaft seal that's actually blown, or is it like where the reservoir goes? Yes, it is the shaft seal.
Just a few things that could be easily overlooked. Of course, belt tension. A lot of times if the tensioner's locked up to where it's pulling so tight on there, of course it could damage the pump itself. Probably one of the last resorts, though.
I kind of agree with you as far as the restriction. What you could potentially do is put a pressure gauge in line with that system and see what that pressure is. If it's extremely high, that means that either the regulator's stuck in the pump. Probably not going to be the case because you put three of them on it. There probably is a restriction in there that is causing the pump to do everything it can.
Probably the regulator's stuck wide open trying to create all that pressure, and it's kind of deadheading, which unfortunately isn't uncommon for remanufactured racks. That's one thing to kind of consider. Of course, it is remanufactured.
Unfortunately, probably one of the only things you can find is remanufactured, but you want to make sure it's a good quality remanufactured, too, to prevent issues like this. So I do believe you're kind of on the right track there. Because one or two I could see leaking, but three, like you said, the scenario's kind of... And there's not a lot more in that system.

It is an AESC certified master mechanic that is doing the work, and he seems mystified.
And of course, you don't want to overlook the fact that is it a possibility of a line kinked or collapsed or something like that. But anyway, unfortunately, we're all out of time. Yeah, we are. Time clock's on. We need to pull over for now. Mayron Clement's here with co-host John Ryan Mooney. Show producer Mason Rogers, thank you Mike Schlupp of K-Seal for joining the show today.
