from Ron Ananian The Car Doctor · host iHeartPodcasts and Ron Ananian The Car Doctor

In this hour, Ron tackles real-world fixes: a 2017 Jeep Wrangler with sticky steering (steering shaft u-joints + PB Blaster), a P0128 thermostat rate-of-rise code and murky coolant, a 2012 Honda CR-V catalytic converter myth (why cats do wear out), and a 2013 Chevy Silverado low-compression mystery (leak-down tests, borescopes, and a $20 vacuum gauge). Practical diagnostics, parts advice (MotoRad, CRC), and smart ownership tips—all in plain English. If you’re chasing misfires, no-starts, or slow warm-ups, this one’s your roadmap.
