Ron Ananian The Car Doctor

Winter Prep, Rustproofing & Cold Weather Fuel Concerns | Classic Car Doctor Wisdom As winter approaches, Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor, opens the hour with a conversation inspired by a recent call from his mom—who reminds him that now is the time to talk about getting your car ready for cold weather. It sets the tone for an hour full of practical advice that still holds up today. Ron takes a call on rustproofing options for an ’08 Chevy Silverado beginning to show corrosion, helps a caller sort out stubborn brake bleeding issues on a ’93 Ford Ranger, and talks through traction concerns on a 2012 Chevy Traverse. Then, in a standout interview, Ron welcomes Jeff Dent of Delphi to discuss the value of quality parts, fuel system concerns in cold weather, and why cheap parts can cost more in the long run. Also in the hour: a brake fluid service question on a 2014 Nissan Sentra, plus a 1999 Bronco with transmission noise that sparks a classic diagnostic discussion. This episode is a great snapsho
