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 some information on ways to make your car, truck, or SUV safer, to make it more dependable, and to make it last longer.

And I am Aaron Clements. I'm John Ryan, and we answer those, we love to answer those automotive questions. And along with answering the automotive questions today, we also have a tech tip quiz that's laying on the table. We are also giving tips or ideas, suggestions, I guess would be the best way to put it, for new year resolutions for drivers.

And we have everything that we need now to make a good show for this to be a lot of fun for us, except for you. You can fix that by picking up the phone, dialing 706-863-5800. You can also reach us at 800-224-9090.

That's Saturday mornings, 805-10 Eastern Time. Want to remind you that you can also watch the show at ccautoshow.com or on Facebook. And John Ryan, we have a tech tip quiz during the last hour that's laying on the table that no one has been able to get.

And of course, want to remind everyone what's at stake here. And what's at stake is a prize package, the CNC Auto Show prize package, which includes a coffee mug that you can use to rub it in your friends faces while you're drinking coffee with them. And you'll be sitting there with a smug look on your face while drinking coffee from a cup that has the words, I answered the tech tip quiz wrote on it.

So they will all know that you are a true winner. And here is the question for the tech tip quiz, short and sweet. Dave jumped off an airplane at over 7000 feet, and he did not have a parachute. He got up after a few minutes and walked off.

How did he just walk off? And if someone knows the answer to that, all they have to do is give us a call. And we are also giving some ideas having to do with the New Year's resolutions.

Here's the first one that we have for this hour. Get your body in shape. Wash it weekly. Wax it at least twice a year. Remove any of those dings and dents. And of course I'm talking about your car.

Keeping the body in shape will make you enjoy driving it that much more. Thank you for clarifying. Yeah, I thought you might like that. I think you missed a detail or two there in the beginning.

Yeah, just maybe a slight bit right at the beginning. We go to a more conventional New Year's resolution for your car. Make a New Year's resolution to quit speeding. Speeding can cost you extra money. It increases your vehicle's fuel consumption by 35%, which costs you more money at the pump.

And it can also get you a ticket, which will cost you even more money when you get to the courthouse to have to pay it. And if you have one of your New Year's resolutions is to reduce your carbon footprint, then you can stick with a safer speed. Maintain that safer speed and your carbon footprint will go down also.

So all of those are good items to do. And also another good New Year's resolution would be to be a good, courteous driver. Driving with a friendlier attitude is not only good for your health and safety, it's good for drivers and pedestrians around you. Give other drivers that extra space that they need when they're merging into their freeway and allow them to turn in front of you instead of trying to force them out of your lane.

And just staying calm will make driving a lot more fun. Have you ever been in a line and no one would let you get into the little area? Oh yeah, for sure. And did you notice that when they're doing that, they don't want to look at you? They act like they're looking somewhere else. Avoiding the contact. Yep.

That's a tough experience. Okay, again, number to call, 706-863-5800. If you have a question about your car, truck, or SUV, give us a call. And one other item that we might mention has to do with idling, a vehicle idling for long periods of time. More and more, they find that vehicles that are idling, you're just wasting fuel. At one time, it was said that in order to crank the vehicle back up, you would be using more gas. But in short, just like on hybrid type vehicles, going ahead and cutting them off.

If you're going to be sitting at a train for a few minutes or you have an area to where you're going to be sitting in line for a period of time, if you don't need the AC to run right then, go ahead and just cut the vehicle off, wait, then go. Okay, ready to go to the calls? Yeah, let's go over to Bill. Let's do it.

Hello, Bill, and welcome to the C&C Auto Show. And what can we help you with today? Well, I've got to answer the text that was handed out to ask a question. Oh, absolutely. Do you mind if we put you on stage?

That's fine. Here we go. Bill, you are on stage and we are ready for the answer to today's Tech Tip quiz. What is it? Well, the airplane was at an airport at a high altitude, 7,000 CF somewhere.

And so when he jumped off of it, he only had like a foot to drop or something, whatever he jumped off of. Oh, Bill, I am so sorry. Yeah, that's just not it. But you have a question for us. And what is it?

I do. I was charging a battery that's on a tractor, put my battery charger on it one day, and I realized it's got a switch for either 6 volts or 12 volts. And I realized it was on 6 volts, so I switched it over. But I realized, well, what would have happened if I hadn't noticed that and I put the charger on the battery, the 12-volt battery, set on 6 volts? All it would have done was put 6 volts charge on the battery. In other words, the battery wouldn't have charged up. It wouldn't have hurt anything. It just wouldn't have worked.

You would have still been sitting there. Now, you say this was on your tractor? Yeah. Okay, now I'm assuming that you have the 12-volt system on the tractor. Yes.

Yeah, yeah. It just wouldn't have worked. Now, if it would have been the other way around and you had a 6-volt battery and you were putting a 12-volt charge on there, it would have bubbled all the fluid and the plates would have melted together and the battery probably wouldn't have been any good. You'd be buying a battery. Yeah, you'd have been buying a battery. Yeah, exactly.

Now, you would have been fine. But, Bill, a lot of the new chargers now can actually detect what kind of battery it is too. Yeah, I know. This one is a... A lot of them now also can detect if you have them backwards. Right. And they won't charge if you have them. Yeah, I know. I actually have one of those.

This particular charger is probably 40 years old. And I have it and I use it some, but I have the others that I change around on different places. Isn't it nice when you have a piece of equipment that really lasted a good long time like that?

I love that when that happens. Well, I thank you for your help. Hey, Bill, great question and we appreciate the call very much.

Number to call is 706-863-5800, but we do have an issue. Let's bring Wesley on board. Okay. Hey, Wesley, welcome to the CNC Auto Show. We only have probably less than about 30, 40 seconds, but what we want to do is find out if you would like to get on stage. Sure. Okay, don't trip. Okay, Wesley, you are on stage and you're enqueued to answer our tech tip quiz. I'm going to go ahead and give you the question real quick so you'll be ready. As soon as we return, Dave jumped off an airplane at over 7,000 feet and he did not have a parachute.

He got up after a few minutes and he just walked off. What is the answer? And we will be looking for you to answer that for us as soon as we return. And we have more tips and we would love to answer your automotive questions, so don't move. We'll be right back. Let's head back down to the car care studio with Airman Clements and John Ryan Mooney. And if you do have a question about your car truck or SUV, you just give us a call. That number is 706-863-5800 or you can call 800-224-9090. That's on Saturday mornings, 805 to 10 if you want to be live on the show.

And also you can watch the show live at ccautoshow.com or you can go to Facebook. John Ryan, we were talking to Wesley. Wesley has stepped out on a limb and he plans to answer our Tech Tip quiz.

I'll read the question real quickly. Dave jumped off an airplane at over 7,000 feet and he did not have a parachute. He got up after a few minutes and walked off. How did he just walk off? Wesley, you're on stage.

All eyes are on you. What is the answer to today's Tech Tip quiz? Well, I believe that he was asleep and he was having a dream. And after he jumped out of the airplane, a few minutes, he woke up and walked away from the bed. Oh, Wesley, you know, I can't stand it when a TV show does that to me. You'll sit there and watch it and it'll be all this interesting stuff.

And after you've been sitting there for about an hour watching something, all of a sudden you find out that it was all a dream. We would never do that to you, Wesley, on a Tech Tip quiz. We never will. Well, I say we never will. We might. Wesley, I am so sorry.

But that was a good try. The dream answer. Wow. Where are we going? Next up, Sean. Hello, Sean, and welcome to the CNC Auto Show.

What can we help you with? Hey, good morning. I'd like to try to give you an answer. And then I've got a question for a follow-up. Oh, you know what's going to happen, Sean. You have to get up on stage.

Wow, that's a nice suit. And what is the answer to today's Tech Tip quiz? All right, my answer is that he was, and I saw a video of this this past week. He was jumping into a net. Oh, from 7,000 feet? Yep. No, the one I saw was like from 20,000 feet.

But I'm just applying it to this one. Oh, wow. You know, I did see something like that. A guy did actually jump out of an airplane from very high. I don't remember what the altitude was. And landed in a net.

I bet he may have had one of those flying suits on and all that other stuff. I don't know. But, Sean, that was a, you brought back a wonderful memory. But I am so sorry that that's not the answer.

Good try, though. But did you say you had a question for us? I do.

Just a quick question. My son recently bought a 2014 Camry used. And it's a great car. Everything works mechanically. But the headset on the radio has, you know, it's malfunctioning. It doesn't, it seems like it's out of calibration. I was wondering if that's a, is that a normal thing or is there a fix to it? You're talking about the volume knob. It doesn't really work. It kind of, you turn it up, it goes down. Sometimes when you turn it down, it goes up.

No. In this particular case, it's a touch screen. Right. And if you touch, like you want to go to a specific station, you know, it just doesn't recognize that you're actually touching it.

Gotcha. So, I was going to put a new headset in, but if I don't have to do that, that was, you know. Yeah, knowing that it's the touch screen one, the other one, the one with the knob actually is pretty annoying because you turn it up, it goes down, you turn it down, it may or may not go up. But the one you're talking about, it is, like you said, there's no calibration that I'm aware of. The touch screen, now we have washed it, or not washed it, but wiped them down, you know, with glass cleaner and had a little bit better success, you know, just obviously making sure that it's clean. Because if something is obstructing that screen, because, you know, it of course goes off of the heat of your finger or the print of your finger. If something is on that screen, it could be possibly thinking that it's just simply holding on that spot, if that makes sense. So, just double check and make sure it's real, real clean.

But they do, unfortunately, give quite a bit of problems. Gotcha. Well, I'll give it that try and hopefully it'll work.

If not, then might be looking at getting a new one. So, I appreciate everything and I'll try again next week. I'm looking forward to hearing this answer. Oh, fantastic. John, we appreciate you calling in. And John Ryan, I got to mention this when he talked about touch screens.

You remember the touch screen we used to use for the show? And we have all these buttons that you push and we kept wondering why all of a sudden it would just, boom, play something for no reason. And come to find out, I evidently, what's the right term, spit? Pretty much. As I talk sometime.

He was the beginning. And the screen was so sensitive when something hit it. That's why I'm in a bubble suit now.

Yeah, it would just play. And so, I hate even mentioning that. Where are we going? Jonathan. Oh, Jonathan, welcome to the C&C Auto Show.

We may get your question and before we give the official answer, we may end up having to put you on hold. What type of problem are you dealing with, Jonathan? Good morning, guys. I have a 2002 Toyota Camry. It's got roughly 200,000 miles. It's been a good automobile. It is very sluggish. It will not get up to speed.

I got some codes on it and it says multiple cylinder misfires. It started off at 0300, 0304, but it talks about bank one and stuff like that. Okay. Well, yeah, we'll definitely be able to walk them through that. Yeah, we got some ideas already popping into my head there, Jonathan. So, I think this is going to be really, really good. And we will grab a cup of coffee at this next exit and then we'll be right back with you. So, wait right here.

Aaron Clements here. When you have rusty nuts and bolts to bust, you use PB Blaster, but sometimes you end up spraying more than you need. Well, not anymore with Blaster's new ProStraw control flow technology. It's a better way to spray with a new flip-up clear plastic straw and a cool volume adjuster to control the flow from a wide spray down to just a drop. It's more precision and less mess, and no one else has it. Look for the new Blaster ProStraw on cans of PB Blaster and MultiMax synthetic lubricant.

Always use Blaster products and work it like a pro. It's time for more good stuff with Aaron Clements and John Ryan Mooney. If you do have a question about your car, truck, or SUV, you can give us a call at 706-863-5800 or 800-224-9090. That's on Saturday mornings, 805 to 10 Eastern.

You can also watch us live at ccautoshow.com or go to Facebook. We were talking with... Well, Jonathan. Jonathan? What type issue are you having with this Toyota again? It is a V6. It's a 2002 3.0, and it's hesitating, and it will not get up to speed, and the code's giving me a multiple cylinder misfire. I got good plugs, but it's talking about Bank One, and I got the codes if you'd like to hear a couple of them.

Yeah, let's hear them. I got it right here, please stand by. It talks about... P1130 is one of them, and that talks about... Let me get my glasses on. P1130 talks about sensory circuit, Bank One, and then I have one that says 0306, cylinder misfire, 0304, cylinder misfire detected. And the last one says P1130, sensory heater circuit. Right.

So that's what I got. P11 codes, or the P11, those are all O2 sensor codes, so I would kind of put that in the back burner for right now. What you're describing is a misfire. Is the check-in light actually blinking, or is it just on solid when the engine's running?

It's on solid. I have another code of P1155. Okay, that's also having to do with the fuel. A lot of times those fuel metering codes can be a direct result of a misfire. If it has a misfire and it's dumping raw fuel in there, there's no ignition fire.

Of course, the O2s are going to be reading extremely rich. So those are kind of like a secondary code is what we would consider that. So we have to fix the misfire first. So you said you had brand new plugs in it? Well, I had knock sensors go out. My transmission wouldn't change. Couldn't never figure that out. I took it to a guy, and he said, it's your knock sensors. Which almost doesn't make sense, does it? Crazy.

But you're right. Take care of it. And YouTube guided me through it. It was a lengthy repair. But once I had that plenum intake off, I had to put plugs. I put plugs and the little coil packs on top of them. So the back three cylinders, I know I have new ones on there.

I wouldn't think that would be an issue. But I'm just grabbing at straws. I'm scratching my head here.

I don't know which direction to go. John Ryan, I was going to ask, did this bottle have that variable cam timing solenoid on there? No. It's a non-variable valve. Okay.

Sorry. So I guess where I was going with that, it's possible that's the case. So being that you have the three new coils under the intake plenum, that's great because hypothetically you can rule those out. You said it was cylinder six and four, is that correct? Correct. That was set in the misfire codes, which I believe are on the front bank, are they not?

Do you know? I believe it's two, four, six on the front bank and then one, three, five on the back. As much information as I can Google, I think that is correct.

And I'm like, wow. So I ordered me three more coil packs and I put three more on the front just to make sure, but it didn't help. It did not help. It almost seems like a fuel issue. Do you think this car has an inline fuel filter? It does, but typically it would restrict fuel to the entire rail, so you would have multiple misfires on multiple cylinders. It wouldn't necessarily set on two cylinders specifically. Like that 300 code, the random misfire, it would set more along the lines of that. But if it's setting a code for a specific cylinder, it obviously has the brains to detect that it's on that cylinder. So there's several different things a technician would do to check that. Of course, obviously being that you can't get to the rear cylinders, there's actually a scope that you can hook up to it. And it has pretty much a flexible wand that you can lay on top of that coil and actually see the firing pattern, of course, all six. So they would do that for the front and compare it to the back and obviously see which one, you know, or potentially which one is not working.

You've kind of ruled that out by obviously replacing them. So from there, the next step would be obviously checking to see if it's got injector fire, make sure the injectors are firing. And how they would do that is add supplemental fuel.

So, well, two ways. Of course, we use propane. We would actually put a propane hose into the intake and add just, you know, crack the valve and just add a little bit of fuel and see if that misfire, you know, moves out. And if it did, yeah, and if it did, of course, that means you have a fuel restriction, not restriction, but a lack of fuel in the engine.

And then, of course, you know, you go further and further. You're talking about compression. Obviously, it's going to be very rare for it to have a weak compression all of a sudden, especially being a Toyota.

I mean, they just generally don't ever lose compression, even at 500,000 miles. So really, it just it does sound like you'd benefit from some diagnostics. It does sound like you're more than capable of doing all the repairs yourself. So it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing to, you know, take it to a shop, tell them exactly what you want. I'd like to work on my own vehicle, but I'd like to know what's causing this misfire.

Can you diagnose it? Of course, you know, that's what you're paying for. So they would give you that information, you know, fix it yourself. Cool. I think that's an option. But if you had to take a gander of swag... Oh, I would have definitely said ignition cool. Yeah, I would have definitely said ignition cools. Now, like Aaron was saying, as far as if the timing was off or if it did have variable valve time and one bank was off the other one, you'd have a lot of cam codes. And of course, you would have an entire bank misfire and you'd have P0302, P0304 and P0306.

Because of course, if one cylinder on that bank is out of time, that means the other two would be also. Same for a V8, same for a four cylinder. It runs. It will run. It will idle fine.

But when you try to bring it up to speed, it's almost like it's just missing the fire and the power it needs. But awesome, man. I appreciate it. Okay. Hope that helps. All right. We do appreciate the call.

Thank you, Jonathan. Number to call is 706-863-5800. We had a question a couple of weeks ago concerning rust protection on cars. And I did some research and found a cream that has risen to the top in that area. And it's NHOU protective coatings. And this product is designed to create a barrier that can't be broken, dipped or cracked. And it's a petroleum-based rust protection that heals back over if it gets scraped or anything. And I found that the regular paint or regular undercoating, it just kind of encapsulates the rust. But NHOU penetrates through the rust to the base of the metal and then it displaces the moisture and removes the oxygen. And if you take either one of those out of the picture, the rust will not occur. So plus it penetrates into the seams and the body cavities and spot wheels and all that good stuff. And that creates a great barrier.

And that's where rust normally forms. And I've checked out NHOU and it is really good stuff. And that should answer that question. Where are we going? All right. Let's go over to Joe. Fantastic. Hello, Joe, and welcome to the CNC Auto Show. What can we help you with? I was just wanting to try the Tech Tip quiz.

We're going to need to read that question real quick. Dave jumped off an airplane at over 7,000 feet. He did not have a parachute. He got up after a few minutes and walked off. How did he just walk off? And we're going to need to put you on stage.

And Joe, all eyes are on you. And what is the answer to today's Tech Tip quiz? Well, if he was jumping out of the helicopter, I had a real good answer. But since it's a plane, I'm going to say he was doing a tandem jump with like an instructor. He didn't actually have the parachute. The instructor did. And so once they landed, they had to unbuckle, which took a couple of minutes. And then he walked off.

That makes a lot more sense than it does. And Joe, you know, I've done that before. My daughter, for one of my birthdays some years back, she got me a parachute jump. And the two of us went up. And it was a little bit of a shaky deal.

This airplane I got in was rattling and wires hanging all down, stuff like that. But Joe, I'm sorry. I was trying to break the fall for you, Joe. I appreciate it. Hey, we appreciate the call. Okay, you can watch us live or pass shows on Facebook.

Don't hold that car question inside. Give us a call. The number is 706-863-5800 or 800-224-9090. And that's on Saturday mornings, 805 to 10. We shall return. Welcome back to more of the CNC Auto Show with Aaron Clements and John Ryan Mooney. And if you do have a question about your car, truck, or SUV, you give us a call in that number, 706-863-5800 or 800-224-9090.

That's Saturday mornings, 805 to 10, Eastern time. John Ryan, who are we talking to? We're going to Watson. Watson, Watson, and welcome to the CNC Auto Show. And what can we help you with?

I want to try your deck quiz. Well, we are ready. I'm going to read the question real quick. Dave jumped off an airplane at over 7,000 feet and he did not have a parachute. He got up after a few minutes and he walked off. How did he just walk off? And Watson, we're going to put you on stage.

Be still. What is the answer? I think that he was sitting on a tarmac and he jumped off a plane that was at an airport that was over 7,000 feet elevation. Oh, so he just jumped out and he didn't get hurt. Did he say he jumped out or jumped off? What did he say? He jumped out of the airplane and he didn't get hurt.

He jumped off the plane because the plane was sitting on the ground, but it was at an elevation. Oh, no. Oh, Watson, we are so sorry. I know that hurts, but we do appreciate you calling and giving it a good shot. All right. Thank you.

Number to call is 706-863-5800. If you have a question about your car truck or SUV, where are we heading? Next up is James. Fantastic, James. And welcome to the CNC Auto Show. What can we help with? I got two things. I'll take a stab at that tech tip quiz and I have a New Year's resolution for your car. Fantastic.

Let's do the New Year's first. I think everybody should have a dash cam. It helps you be mindful of your own driving because it's recording your speed and so forth, but it also can help you or someone else in the event of an accident and to properly establish liability. Oh, that is a great tip.

If you're going through there and that dash cam records that that light was green and that car hits you in the side, then you have absolute proof that that light was green when you was going through that. Amen. Otherwise, you may have an issue. James, do you ever watch any of those videos on YouTube about the dash cam stuff? Yes. Oh, do you see some wild stuff on there? Yeah.

And I imagine some of those things have gone to court. Okay. Great New Year's resolution. Everyone get a dash cam. Very important.

Okay. Now, James, you're on stage. The dash cam is on you.

And what is the answer to today's tech tip quiz? I believe this plane was in the process of being transported at over 7,000 feet, which enabled this gentleman to jump off the plane onto the transport vehicle. And he was able to walk away from the plane while it was still being transported. Oh, so you're talking about something like the space shuttle. It was a plane riding not on the another plane, but in another plane. Yes, there's very large aircraft that the military has. They have some Lockheed Martin vehicles that are able to carry submarine aircraft vehicles. And just let them slide out and let them and some of them could just slide out and fly like that. Yep. And transport them on the ground that way. But I figured this was in the air. That would be a problem. Just a question.

I mean, does it always crank up? You would hope that it would. I'm still trying to picture the guy jumping out of the airplane without a parachute and landed on the net. Now that did actually happen. But James, we're trying to butter you up, man. But I was trying to delay the process of him doing that to you, but I couldn't. It just happened. It's okay. You can take it. I know you can.

I've had it before. James, thank you so much for calling. You bet. Okay.

Number to call, 706-863-5800 or 800-224-9090. Where are we going? William. Fantastic. Hey, William, welcome to the CNC Auto Show.

And what can we help with? I'm going to try that tech tip quiz one time. Oh, fantastic. We're going to put you on stage.

And you, you have been announced as officially on stage and William, what is the answer to today's tech tip quiz? I think he was in an amusement park and some kind of airplane ride at 7,000 feet elevation. And his sugar went bad or something like that. And he jumped out of a, not a moving plane. It was in the air, but a plane.

Now, wait a minute. What went bad? Either his sugar, you know, he could have been a diabetic or, you know, a medical issue. You came to say a lot of thought, right?

I see a sketch pad from here. Sugar went bad. Is that, is that the official doctor term? Actually, he could have just got dizzy on the ride. And then he fell out because I know I don't ride swings anymore.

His sugar went bad. William, I appreciate that. That was good.

Thank you so much. Y'all have a great day and we will try again. You're going to carry this one over, aren't you? Yes. If we don't get an answer now, we still got time. Okay, well, we got a few minutes. Yeah. So someone still may get this thing. Thank you, sir.

As long as their sugar don't go bad. Where are we going? Let's go over to Tim. Fantastic. Hey, Tim, welcome to the CNC Auto Show. And what can we help you with?

Thank you and good morning. I have a 2014 F-150 that has that 5.0 V8 engine. And when I look online, I see a consistent same problem. It seems like it codes out number seven cylinders misfiring. Everything's been done that the warranty allows to repair that coils and whatnot.

And a recommendation is coming in and get a new engine. And before I did that, I want to check with you guys and see if you had encountered that. Unfortunately, we have. We've seen quite a few of those, like you said, with the five liter. It's kind of a hit or miss thing. We've seen a lot of them that were the ignition coils.

We don't put a plug in at the same time. That's corrected it. And then we've seen literally right after that very short distance, you know, it still have that misfire. Now, as far as I know, a lot of them are still under warranty. What mileage is yours and all that as far as the extended care? We began looking at it when it was under warranty. It is outside warranty. Right.

Okay. So will they still honor that? What I've always been told is if it was, you know, or had that issue, you know, while it was in coverage, as long as it was documented, you know, still having that same issue, they will somewhat goodwill it, I guess. That's a really good point.

I have not perceived that. That is certainly possible. Yeah, I would definitely go down that track because, you know, of course, without doing proper diagnostics to know whether or not it needs an engine or not, you know, it is kind of assuming that if the coil has been replaced and the plug has been replaced, we have yet to see a fuel injector issue. So, of course, that does leave it to a mechanical type issue. And there's a few things that a scan tool will tell you or an advanced level scan tool like the Ford IDS. You can go in there and see some of the mode six data to see how often that actual cylinder is misfiring. And it will give a technician much better idea of what's going on inside that engine. So with them scanning that or, you know, a shop scanning that data, you can kind of get a little bit more, you know, information about the misfire rather than just a simple code, of course. Right.

And yes, it's just frustrating. I know that is the first generation of that engine. That engine, that's right. And I think, yeah, I think that the subsequent years that they're using it, they've been good. But those of us with the 2014 that thought we had the last run of that model. Apparently didn't.

I did not realize it was the new engine generation there. Yeah. But thank you. OK, yeah.

Yeah, definitely go that route or at least exhaust that route. Yeah. No, that's the case where I've heard that same thing that many times if you've had it documented when you go have a car looked at, that was something that was under warranty and you have the same symptoms.

Well, I mean, essentially it failed under warranty and it wasn't corrected. Exactly. I hope everything goes real well for him. We're going to have to ask the other callers on the line to give us a call back next week because our time clock is on the and we need to pull over for right now. But we will be back on the road in no time. We didn't get an answer to our tech tip quiz.

So we will have to carry it over to the next week. We may make a post about or put that one on our Facebook page, the CNC Auto Show. I'm Aaron Clements here with co-host John Ryan Mooney and our show producer in there, Mason Rogers. And we'd all like to say thank you to all of you for riding with the CNC Auto Show. And we'll be back on the road with another CNC Auto Show in no time.
