Bumper to Bumper Radio, the car guys on KTAR, 92.3 FM in Phoenix, AZ, broadcast every Saturday from 11:00 am to noon. On this show, Dave Riccio of Tri-City Transmission in Tempe, AZ and Matt Allen of Virginia Auto Service in Phoenix, AZ talk about getting your car ready and driving in the Arizona monsoons and dust storms. Also on this show:

  • Make sure your windshield wipers and fluids are ready for dusty and dry weather
  • How do I safely get through a dust storm?
  • Should my headlights be on or off during a dust storm?
  • How many inches of water can I safely drive through?
  • 2008 Honda Odyssey 67,000 miles: When is a good time to change the timing belt on my car?
  • 2004 Ford F150: My check fuel cap light came on but the fuel cap is secure. Do you know how I can fix this?
  • 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4WD: My digital display is telling me that the temperature in my car is 55 when I turn on the a/c but I know that’s not correct. Is there a way to fix this control system?
  • Nissan Pathfinder: There’s a strange sound when I start the car and it’s in park. Once I put it in gear, the sound goes away. Do you think there could be a problem with the torque converter?
  • 2002 Toyota 4Runner: My turn signals have stopped working even though the fuse and light bulbs seems to be in working order. Do you think it might be a wiring problem?
  • 2009 Toyota Corolla 70,000 miles: There’s a sticker on the dipstick for the transmission that says I should never change the fluid. When should I do a flush on the transmission?
  • 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee: There’s a rattling sound in the dashboard area and I’m not sure what this could be.
