Ford F-350 Stall Mystery, Jeep Door Hinge Fail & VW Beetle Memories | The Car Doctor Podcast
In this episode of Ron Ananian The Car Doctor, Ron digs into a puzzling Ford F-350 stall problem that mimics a fuel delivery issue despite holding steady fuel pressure. Learn his diesel truck troubleshooting approach, from checking PCM relay pins to comparing injector pulse width with MAP sensor readings, and why capturing data during failure is the key to solving intermittent stalling.
Next, caller Tiffany recounts her battle with Jeep door hinge corrosion—a defect that cost $16,000 to repair but was finally covered after a year of persistence. She also shares the challenges of sourcing parts for a Chrysler Crossfire key fob and explains why her VW Beetle restoration project, a 1972 convertible, is still her favorite car.
Ron wraps the hour discussing oil change mistakes to avoid—including why drawing oil through the dipstick can leave sludge behind—and offers transmission service tips on when and why to drop the pan instead of relying solely on a fluid exchange.
Packed with mechanic shop stories, car troubleshooting tips, and real-world repair strategies, this episode delivers practical advice for both do-it-yourselfers and anyone navigating dealership repairs.
