Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor goes North to Montreal to take a call from Ian, a regular listener, about his 07 Pontiac Torrent with a noise that sounds like a wheel bearing. The catch is he has replaced all the wheel bearings and brakes as maintenance but now he has a noise like a bearing but no other indicators add up. The Car Doctor rides to the rescue and helps Ian take a fresh perspective to a repair. Ron then takes a call from Virginia regarding a 2010 Ford Expedition with 185,000 plus miles that seized the engine due to loss of oil pressure. Ron tries to deter the caller from spending time to replace only the crankshaft and bearings on what is likely a failed engine. Ron explains that this engine is in need of an overhaul and the caller should consider engine replacement. The Car Doctor goes West next talking to Billy from Denver about a long term problem with the keyless entry on his 2005 Subaru Legacy GT. Ron's last call this hour is again from Virginia on a 2011 Toyota Camry with a noise at idle BUT only with the AC on. The Car Doctor closes out this hour with some memories of his Dad, gone since 1968, but the images and memories he instilled in Ron are still fresh and vivid. He was a mechanic during WW2 and Ron talks about "Dad" lessons on dealing with both cars and life.
