About this episode
This week on Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor , Ron opens with a Veterans Day salute and a tribute to the last Navajo Code Talker, whose everyday language helped win a world war. From there, it’s a fast lap through the garage: shopping old Cadillacs with the notorious HT 4100 engine, spooky hearse memories from the ’80s, chasing a hard-to-find clock spring for a ’97 Dodge Dakota, and sorting out lousy MPG on a lifted Jeep JK. Ron also walks through a smart, no-parts-cannon diagnosis on a Jeep Gladiator ABS fault and closes with a quick “your car might need repair if…” checklist to get you thinking ahead of the holidays. As always, the takeaway is simple: good mechanics aren’t expensive—they’re priceless.
